Eat Drink Co. - Central Bedfordshire

We decided to grab a quick lunch at Eat Drink Co. (EDC), located next to Costa. The staff seemed to be the same as Costa's, as they wore the same uniforms and were friendly and helpful. Initially, we thought we were ordering from Costa. The menu had a limited selection, so we chose the beef and potato soup, which turned out to be a thick vegetable soup with beef instead. It wasn't exactly what we were expecting, but it was still satisfying and decent for a quick stop on the motorway.

I returned to Toddington despite the close proximity of Poplars, a restaurant I have been frequenting due to its consistent quality and cleanliness, as well as the attentive staff. However, I regretted my decision as Toddington has been consistently disappointing in terms of food and service. Despite previous promises to address issues, the restaurant has not improved. I urge others to visit my preferred restaurant instead.

The service at this restaurant was disgraceful and insulting to a hungry traveler. The breakfast was served by a person who lacked charm and personality, and the food was some of the worst I have ever tasted. The bacon and fried bread were overly salty and oily, while the black pudding tasted stale and old. Even the tomato on my plate managed to taste bad. The bap the bacon was served on was also stale. The restaurant is located next to a Costa Coffee, which appears to be a franchise as the staff work in both sections. I was able to get a refund without any issues, but it was well-deserved given the poor quality of the food. I recommend avoiding this cafe if you're hungry, as you may end up feeling ill. Stick to the coffee instead.

It seemed there's a choice of Burger King or this place at a Toddington Services. The choice of food was greatly reduced because the hot plates were broken, so we could have fish and chips or curry. We'd planned on getting fish and chips anyway so this wasn't a problem. Unfortunately when it came it was awful, dry chips, fish that was so over cooked it was like rubber and so much thick greasy batter on it. No peas or lemon as advertised on the picture. Cost was £6.99 each. Soft drinks were £2.49. Wish we'd had a Burger King instead.

Stopped here last night 7/9/17 truck stop rolled in about 7.00pm went to pay for parking £26 with a £10 meal voucher , all good so far ! Redeemable in the restaurant or Burger King or Costa . Went back to my truck to take my tacho card out and went back up to get something to eat from the restaurant was about 7.30 only to be told it was shut ! There was food still left in the serving tins , ended up with a chicken burger ! You would think when trucks are rolling in and they were still coming in well after me they would be able to get a decent meal upto around 9.00 , at least if they are not you could get the girl in WH Smiths to tell you when the restaurant shuts ! After that disaster I went for a shower , there was no way I was stepping foot in there even with flip flops on they absolutely filthy ended up having a good wash in the sink and I wasn't the only one . About time you upped your game Toddington southbound !
