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 Bedford dessert spot you might not have thought about…
Cannoli trio (strawberry, chocolate & vanilla)
Roasted peach with honeycomb and vanilla ice cream
Lemon cheesecake with candied lemon and mixed berry compote
Who said you had to come for a whole meal? We’re here for the desserts 😋
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 cider 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 @keechhospice (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 @foodieinbedfordshire
Roll on next year!

It sometimes really is just about the simple things.
Seeing our community enjoy our menu as much as we do means the absolute world to us.
Whether you’re here for a pint and some sharing plates, to a full Sunday roast and everything in between, we love welcoming you through our doors each day 🤍
Table for two, the river as your backdrop, and the afternoon tea everyone keeps coming back for. Sandwiches, scones, and a cake selection that never disappoints.
This month, it’s £20 instead of £25 with the code TIMEFORTEA.
Fancy it? You’ll find us by the water 😆
At the start of July, we introduced a very exciting new addition to the menu - KEBABS.
And you might be wondering how they’ve been going down? Well…
In the first TWO WEEKS of having them on the menu, we served over 500 of them!
So pop down and give them a go for yourselves 😋
It’s a pretty busy one this August 😅
AFTERNOON TEA is still just £20 for the whole month! Every day between 3-5pm. Use code: TIMEFORTEA upon booking
