A Kingfisher update:
We’re making a small change to keep our chefs comfortable in the heat. From tomorrow until Friday, the kitchen will be closed between 3pm and 5pm each day.
All existing bookings are unaffected, and we’ll be back as normal outside of those hours.
Thank you for bearing with us 😊
New summer rule: if the boat isn’t included, we’re not interested.
There’s something about being on the river. It just makes sense.
You bring the company - we’ll provide the post-sail food and drink 👀
📍 The Kingfisher, Bedford
We are absolutely chuffed with this one 🥈
Last night, we were named Runners Up in the Bedford’s Best Business category of the Bedford @smeawardsuk which is the very same category in which we took the gold home last year!
To be listed in the top 2 businesses that Bedford has to offer (for 2 years now!) is a genuine honour, and we are feeling very proud today.
This is in no small part thanks to the incredible team behind us, so thank you team - you are wonderful!
A huge congratulations to all of the finalists in the category 🏆
