The management and staff welcome you warmly to the Alford Bistro. We don’t really do “fast food” here. Most dishes are freshly prepared and cooked to order, but we promise we’ll do it as fast as we can.
If we get anything wrong, (we’re only human) please tell us so we can make amends. If we get it right, please tell others!
