Private Events
Birthdays, Anniversaries – or any excuse for a party!
The Kingfisher Cardington Road Bedford
Life on the river… send your worries down stream, watch every sunset, let the current give you strength, have lazy days, take walks and make many memories
A treat for everyone this half term 🐣
The perfect way to spend a day riverside. Food, drinks and a boat to explore on. What more could be better? (Apart from the sun promising to shine for us!)
If you missed us this weekend, don’t stress! The rest of this week (and weeks to come) are jam-packed with exciting events and ‘things to do’ ⚓️
We are incredibly proud to share that after having won the Bedford Best Business Award in 2025, we have now also been named a finalist for this year too! 🎉
This kind of recognition means the world to our wonderful team. It reflects the hard work and dedication that drives everything we do. We couldn’t have achieved this acknowledgement without the support of our fabulous community.
As always, a massive thank you to @thebedfordshirechamber 🙌
The Jetty just got a soundtrack 🎶
Every bank holiday weekend (all the way through August!), we are bringing the live music vibe to the Bedford riverside.
Is there a better way to spend a long weekend? ☀️

A pub garden with a difference…
Dining al fresco next to a flowing river is what we live for. From The Jetty to our terrace, there are plenty of options for places to simply sit and be.
Be by the river with us this spring 🌷
Badger the boat is BACK!
