Bridges Espresso Bar

Growing up in Bedford, many know Roosters on the corner of St Cuthberts as an icon of our town. I finally made it inside to see what has kept it going all these years… and was not disappointed. I had a really tasty antipasti sandwich with a homemade minty-cucumber lemonade. Lovely space and great choice on the menu.

I have been here two days in a row and i am stunned. The special menu goes above and beyond every time, this food is absolutely delicious I couldn't break eye contact with my sandwich today. Shoutout to the BBQ beef brisket, I love you brisket. I genuinely almost cried because this is the best lunchtime food I have ever tasted. If anything this is the best place in Bedford to get your lunch. Top tier food, top tier vibes, top tier staff. 🤩🤩 EDIT: I have now tried Roosters new special for the holidays! The festive sandwich. As always, I requested this toasted, and as always, the Roosters team were more than happy to oblige. Since I went so mad for the brisket, my coworkers even got me a Roosters gift card for my birthday! This added touch makes today's lunch just on another level ladies and gentlemen! I have had to attach a photo of this glorious christmassy explosion. The layering of the cranberry sauce to even out the turkey made my day, I especially liked the touch of the melted cheese along with sausage stuffing. Sausage stuffing is a favourite memory of mine going back to my childhood. I may have shed a tear over this sandwich, but it was worth the emotional toil of walking down the street, as now I am comfortably full and ready for my afternoon. Roosters is a repeated hero in my story. I'll be back in January I hope all the roosters team have a wonderful holiday season! Yours Sincerely, The Wordsmith

What a gem this place is, the food is great but even better (which is difficult) is the service! The two servers we have had, have been absolutely amazing.... so positive! They clearly have pride in their trade and the kitchen reflects that.
