Box End Park · Bedford
Modern English food, by the water's edge.
A contemporary lakeside venue with a bar & terrace — and, as our regulars like to say, Bedford's best kept secret.
Welcome to Corner 5
Dining with a view, food worth the visit
Set on the lake at Box End Park, Corner 5 pairs a striking modern dining room and panoramic windows with the kind of cooking that brings people back. We change our menus with the seasons and print them daily, sourcing as much as we can from local suppliers around Bedford.
