Frescoes — Restaurant in England

Really nice little cafe just on the edge of town but only a minute walk from main shops. Relaxing out door seating with a fantastic frescoe painting on the wall.

I really like this place, although it's pricy. Interesting photos and artwork can be found upstairs. Afternoon tea is a pleasant way to while away an hour or so here, and the interior is quaint and dated, but in a good way. The full English breakfast is £8.40 if my memory serves me correctly, which without a coffee or other drink included, is very expensive for Bedford.
