Pavilion at Bedford Park

Following a suggestion from a friend we had decided to check out the Pavilion at Bedford Park. We had called at 9am to see if we could book a table as catering for 6 adults, a 3year old and two babies in buggies can be a tough ask especially for somewhere so small. We were told we couldn't book but that they weren't busy so could pretty much guarantee us a spot. Well the weather was glorious so we decided to take the dogs (our spaniel woody, and Monika and Craig's dogs Dixie and Snoopy aka Brown Dog). Now we are really testing out their facilities!

When we arrived we managed to find a beautiful spot outside and after rearranging their benches to accommodate us all we finally got round to ordering. The menu isn't vast but they really did have something to please us all. Monika and Craig stuck to their tradition and had the pavilion breakfast (English breakfast) and Lewis followed suit, I had my favourite eggs Benedict, Heather had toast and preserves and Ross had scrambled egg with bacon. The only negative that we came up with was that the English breakfasts didn't come with baked beans however the rest of the food was excellent quality and the Lingers Butchers sausages were beautiful. The service was also excellent and a few added touches really made this special, such as providing dog treats for our four legged guests, toys for Evan and the weather helped too (however all the runners running by us whilst we are delving into a breakfast made me feel a little guilty) . Me, Heather and Ross were still a little peckish after (runner obviously didn't make us feel that bad) so we even sampled one of their beautiful cakes for a "breakfast dessert" and the ice cream van arrived in the nick of time to make Evans breakfast one to remember. We finished up by having a little walk around the park. Perfect!

Price - This was top end of the price range again, with mine, Lewis and Evans breakfast costing £23 however I would say it's well worth it as a treat 6/10

Quality - Beautiful quality, the ham with my eggs Benedict and the Lingers Butchers sausages were stunning 9/10

Quantity - Good size just lacked the baked beans for the English breakfast eaters 8/10
