The Kingfisher Bedford

The Kingfisher is a riverside pub with rooms, offering delicious food on the River Great Ouse

Our passion lies in finding quality fresh, seasonal ingredients and presenting them in a modern but unpretentious way. Daily specials, seasonal dishes, scrumptious afternoon teas and a kids menu you won’t find anywhere else. Come on in, find yourself a spot at the bustling bar or hide away in one of the many nooks and crannies and enjoy the bespoke atmosphere of The Kingfisher, Bedford. If you are staying in Bedford then we have a range of rooms for you to choose from. Modern, light and bright, doubles and kings for the overnight traveller or sumptuous suites for those who want to indulge and spend a little more time in the bedroom…

Fancy a stall at our Christmas Market? 🎄

On Sunday 29th November, The Kingfisher is throwing open its doors to local makers and crafters for a proper riverside Christmas Market.

Whether you sell wreaths, candles, gifts or the best mince pies in Bedford, we want you there.

Spaces are going fast, so if you’re interested, drop us an email at [email protected] to register. We’re keeping it to email only this year to keep everyone safe from the Facebook scams doing the rounds. As always, we will never ask for payment details over social media 🙌

Come and be part of a Kingfisher Christmas. We can’t wait to see what you bring. 🎅

Some pubs are worth travelling for. This fork can testify to that 👀

Try our apple glazed pork chop, served with mustard new potatoes, green beans and a c***r cream.

The perfect way to soak up the last of the sun this summer.

Bedford, you smashed it. 🎉

This year’s Karnival raised a whopping £2,026.70 for Keech Hospice (our new Charity of the Year). Live music, princess appearances, a petting zoo, bright sunshine and more food than you could imagine, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Huge thanks to everyone who came down, donated, and made it such a special event. Swipe for a look back at the day, captured brilliantly by Chloé | UGC • Content Creation • Social Media 📸✨

Roll on next year!
