The Thai restaurant in what was formerly the White Swan pub on the river is excellent. My brother-in-law is a chef and on a recent visit, he enjoyed the whole experience. Lovely atmosphere & haven't ever had a bad meal there. Manager doesn't respond particularly well to complaints or criticism but I guess he doesn't have to deal with it too often http://bangkoklounge.com/shefford/

Just a couple of miles away at the Green Man in Clophill is an excellent fine dining Italian restaurant. I normally think of Italian as Pizza and Pasta but this is very different. We visited recently as a party of four. We all ordered something different for each course and not one of us were disappointed. The most used exclamation was mmmmmm . http://greenmanrestaurant.co.uk/
Deborah G. replied:
Slightly further afield but still within 5 miles is the http://www.whitehartflitton.co.uk/. Friendly hosts, excellent food and service
Deborah G. replied:
If you are looking for a special occasion restaurant, consider http://www.sthelenarestaurant.co.uk/ There is a set price menu with extra charges for more expensive items. Food, service and ambiance are excellent and if you are so inclined you can order a £2000 bottle of port. It looks and feels amazing over the Christmas period. You will need to book but you can ask to be put on the cancellation list and they will contact you if space becomes available.

A previously derelict pub in Maulden has recently been renovated and reopened and although I haven't been, I have heard very good reports from discerning friends of http://thegeorgemaulden.com/#welcome

Slightly further afield is Ampthill. A gorgeous market town with a Waitrose http://www.waitrose.com/bf_home/bf/722.html and many individual and quirky shops.

Try playing this through the stereo.. apparently has frequencies in the classical music that dogs can hear to help their anxiety.. I wish they'd make fireworks silent.. it's so horrible having to see animals suffer :( https://youtu.be/iY9 mwnrt728

Acorn House brilliant
Liz G. replied:
Acorn House are great.
Steph D. replied:
Acorn House. Be aware when choosing that not all vets do their own out of hours service any more so you could end up travelling a fair way in an emergency. I know that Acorn and Scotts both do.
Kirsty C. replied:
Absolutely highly recommend Companion Care at Pets at home they are amazing x
Karen D. replied:
Companion care at the retail park. They were amazing with my poorly cat, had to take him nearly every week for 10 months and they were so considerate for his needs, and they were always full of advice when I rang for help
Tamsin E. replied:
Companion Care are excellent. As are Scott's. But I use Scott's as they are 24/7
Lis S. replied:
https://www.facebook.com/185059014874643 Acorn House Veterinary Hospital They're more reasonably-priced than Scott's (although the care at both is fantastic) and they'll never hurry you out of an appointment. I have found that Scott's are quite keen to re-do "inconclusive" tests and sell you things "just in case". I cannot fault their care though. Been really impressed with the care and attention my clan have received from Acorn House. Wouldn't go anywhere ekse now.
Can someone recommend a vet? My kitten has started limping and we've only just moved here so don't know where to take her! Thanks!

Companion Care actually also. She used to work at Acorn House.
Scott's is over priced. Companion care at the back of pets at home at the retail park is good. Or if you can travel deepdale in potton

Acorn vets very good with cats. I wouldnt take them anywere else. Now that I dont drive they do house visit for our two cats.

Scott vets. Used them for many years with outstanding care of my rabbit and cats.
Steph D. replied:
Scott vets do most of our Cats Protection work. Also recommend Acorn House as I use them for my own cats. Both provide their own out of hours service which is an important consideration.

James Newill, nothing wrong with Scott's except their high prices!! unsure emoticon

Elizabeth Smiths in biggleswade is a brilliant vets.
Imogen J. replied:
I have to be honest I've no idea, but a friend of mine works there. I go to Valley vets in Stevenage as they are so good to me, rarely charge me for a consultation and my dogs love them. But if I was going in Bedford is go to Acorn. Xx

Does anyone know someone who looks after injured doves? I have one in my garden, it seems alert but was bleeding from its mouth. Might have to take to vet. Thanks

Companion Care in Pets at Home on the Kempston Interchange Park
Samantha P. replied:
Strongly recommend Acorn House, just off Brickhill Drive. They have a separate cat waiting area, and a separate cat overnight stay place. They are all just lovely as well!
Helen B. replied:
I have found the best vets by far to be Deepdale Vets. They are based in Potton though. I still take my pets there as they’re very caring and knowledgable. My sister took her cat to various vets around Bedford that couldn’t get to the problem that her cat had, one trip to Deepdale and they diagnosed her immediately

We've just adopted 2 gorgeous kittens and we need to vaccinate/microchip etc. Any vet recommendations in Kempston please or what to look out for?
Thanks, much...
Stephanie K. replied:
I can't recommend Acorn House in Brickhill enough. They are experts in cat care
Lisa L. replied:
Companion care vets. Based in pets at home at Kempston retail park. Not stupidly expensive. And lovely caring people
Jo M. replied:
Acorn House in Bedford. AMAZING
JohnDani C. replied:
Companion Care at the retail park? Scotts in Bedford is good as open sat and sun morns which is really handy.
Can anyone recommend a vet in Bedford who knows their Border Collies?
Denise E. replied:
Can't speak for border collies specifically, but Scott Veterinary Clinic on Goldington Road have always done an amazing job of looking after our dogs and cat and I can't recommend them enough.
Phil M. replied:
Acorn House vets are second to none. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my dogs!
Chantelle S. replied:
Scotts vets. Ask for Paz. He is an amazing vet and owner of border collies.
