One thing you might not think about Bedfordshire is although it is close in proximity to London, it is actually rife with green fields and its heritage has always been farming and agriculture – it’s why the modern tractor as we know it was invented here! Because of the abundance of green fields and country air, you’ll find that many of the eateries around the county have access to incredible fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create their menus, many of which are seasonal to make best use of the produce that can be found in the region. Be sure to stop by and try some of the locally sourced meats, honey, jam and vegetables among others at the restaurants. Local produce is a regular feature at the county’s many farmers’ markets, street food stalls and eateries, whether they’re recognisable chains or smaller, independent establishments.

Whatever you’re occasion, there will be something suitable for you. Looking for the perfect restaurant to take your delegates? You’ll find it here.

Bedfordshire is a very culturally diverse place and the restaurants reflect this, so if you’re looking for Indian, Thai, Mexican, French, Chinese, Japanese, Moroccan or perhaps somewhere that serves a bit of everything you won’t have to look too far.
