Dakins - Bedford

For those with a sweet tooth, there are several dessert options to choose from. I have taken family members of various ages, from 10 to 92, and everyone has enjoyed their meal and expressed a desire to return. Just be aware that this restaurant is very popular for Sunday lunch and can get quite busy. However, there is ample seating and the queues usually move quickly. After your meal, you can take a walk around the garden centre and shop, where there is something for everyone. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice for a delicious Sunday meal with family and friends.

I have tried several times to like this restaurant as much as I love the garden center but sadly no. Too long queuing, too long waiting fir order. One of the times I joined a not too long a queue (5people in front) at 10:40 and eventually got to give my order of 3 breakfasts. Only to be told “sorry we stop breakfasts at 11:00” “But this is 10:56 and I have queued since 10:40!” “Yes sorry” I left! Biggest problem is one member of staff taking orders, making long winded drinks and taking payment, needs more staff when queue is building.

We have just had a lovely cooked breakfast. Food was very tasty and staff were very friendly and helpful. When a staff member realised she had only given my husband one piece of toast instead of two she profusely apologised and returned with morectoadt, again apologising. Very clean radtu good and excellant service. Will definitely revisit

Another stop off for the best breakfast in the area. I cannot understand some reviewers comments about slow/wrong/cold food. We have visited here lots of times and always had great breakfasts......

We have visited this restaurant for lunch several times and are consistently annoyed by the amount of time it takes to place our order. The cashier is responsible for taking orders, making, and serving hot beverages, causing significant delays even when we are only third in line (today took over 15 minutes with just four people ahead of us). This is not a reflection of the staff's quality but rather the management's organizational abilities. Not recommended if you are in a rush.
