Hopefully the worst of the flooding in the area is over🤞

Our car parks are draining and all inside is ship shape and ready to go! With heavy rain forecast again for the remainder of today though we are erring on the side of caution and will open from 10am tomorrow (Wednesday 2nd October); then it’s business as usual.

A HUGE thanks to our fantastic team for all their efforts in keeping the pub safe & dry and the big clean up operation in the grounds. A BIG thank you to you for your patience and understanding. 

We look forward to seeing you soon! 🍻
As everyone in Bedford will know, the recent floods have been horrendous and the Kingfisher has not escaped the impact. 

We have had to close to business over the weekend which resulted in us disappointing many of our loyal guests. We’re so sorry we had to take this action but are very appreciative of everyone’s understanding. 

Luckily, the flood defences we put in place since the devastating flood in 2020 have held up well and we are confident we’ll reopen as soon as the flood threat subsides. The main issue we have is access; our car parks are flooded and getting to and from the building safely is currently impossible. 

We hope you’re all keeping safe, we’ll keep you posted over the next few days. Thank you.

Hello September… 🌥️

We’re waving goodbye to cocktails by the riverside, hazy nights and dipping our feet in the river when it all gets a little bit too hot! 

Are you looking forward to autumn?
