The Higgins Pantry

This wasn 't my first time dining at 'The Pantry ' so my expectations were high after previous postive experiences with their service and food, however this is my first review of this friendly and well known Bedford Italian eatery. On arrival we were given a warm welcome by the front of house staff and were shown to our table promptly. There was certainly plenty of space between tables which in my opinion certainly made it covid friendly. The informal, warm and relaxed atmosphere certainly encourages a postive and enjoyable dining experience also. We ordered six tapas dishes off of the tapas menu which were delicious, freshly cooked and vibrant. I would certainly recommend you try the sautée...

Just had a fabulous lunch here! The decor is so mid-century modern with cozy fairy lights. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the super cool thing is that all their sandwiches, pastas, and pizzas can be made gluten free! I had gf pasta with ragú and it was seriously as if it came from the old country. I believe the owners are Italian. The Higgins Pantry is definitely going to be one of my regular spots :

Wow, how have I only just discovered this place?! Absolutely cannot wait to return. The pasta was incredible, so tasty and the perfect portion size, my fiance demolished his steak, and don't even get me started on the brownie, best I've ever had. The staff clearly love their job, very friendly and accommodating and the premises itself is great, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Can't wait to visit again! X

Really good selection of Italian dishes here, service was excellent all night, there are other Italian restaurants in Bedford which have a more authentic Italian feel about them, music, etc and we did go on a Saturday night night, the room was packed and there was a point it was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. However it was still a very good restaurant. Parking is limited Reserva una mesa ahora

Superb, always friendly, food is very tasty and accessible, pizza is excellent too. Great vegan broccoli salad. Just wished there were a couple of other vegan options. You won't be disappointed with anybody the dishes here though. Great for couples, groups, families and seniors. Unusual to find a place which gets it right at all points.

Booked table for 4 for Sunday lunch. Pleasant surroundings friendly staff. Great food. We over ordered on starters but that was our own fault as everything sounded so good. We all tried various pasta dishes for Mains. We all left feeling very satisfied and we would definitely return.

We wanted an Italian pizza and we found it here. Tasty and you will be not disappointed. Before I only tried lasagne for takeaway. Definitely need to return to try something else.
