Harurs Restaurant, 46-48 Tavistock Street, Bedford, MK40 2RD
With an modern, attractive looking frontage, its difficult to miss Harpurs resturant at the corner of the street. When in bedford you be hard pushed to do better than a meal here, and at the weekend booking a table ahead is recommended.
Décor (7/10) – With cream walls, wood floors and beech tables and chairs the modern décor is hard to imagine as this as being warm and friendly place, yet this restaurant manages to pull it off well.
Atmosphere (7/10) - There is a wine bar situated downstairs from the restaurant as well as a bar situated to the side of this packed restaurant, both seem to blend to add a relaxed atmosphere rather than separate areas. One small thing was that the place did have tendency to leave one of the main doors open allowing a breeze in which acted to cool our food faster.
Food (6/10) – For starters we both had spinach and goat’s cheese parcels with a leafy salad (£6) which was both tasty and substantial in size. One point to note is that despite this being an enjoyable start to the meal, the speed in which the starters were served after they were ordered meant they had been prepared earlier that day; some prefer food prepared to order. The same scenario does not apply to main courses however which are most definitely cooked to order. I had duck pancakes (a little unusual serving choice maybe) while Dan had sirloin steak.
Service (7/10) – The team at Harpurs are particularly friendly, efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. They simply added to what was an enjoyable evening.
Overall 27/40 = 67.5 % this was our second time, and I am sure it will not be our last.
