💯 WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE REVIEW
BISTRO CAFE
What can I say the food exceeded our spectations. The homemade soup of the day I had was potato & leek which came with a warm small baguette and butter sachets, this tasted so lovely & it was so filling the price was an amazing at only for homemade soup £5 ! My grandaughter even asked for more!
(Shown in the pictures)
🍳BREAKFAST
My husband had the breakfast costing £9
which included a proper sausage not those cheap ones you may get.
🍄HALLUMI & FIELD MUSHROOM BURGER
Because the food was so lovely we decided to share the Hallumi, Field Mushroom Burger which was also so lovely at the price of £4.50...add a bit of mayo and this was amazing!
🍨MILKSHAKES
We opted for the Strawberry & Chocolate Milkshakes that are made from real dairy icecream from a local Dairy Farm. The milkshakes had sauce in them topped off with squirty cream. Definitely another winner and a great price at £3.80! The chocolate one got the heads up from my grandaughter!
