Soak up the last of the summer sunshine with us this September ☀️ 

We’ve got a busy month coming up (more on that soon!) but there will always be room for quiet afternoons by the river. 

Catch you all soon
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.
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 😋
A break away from real life. A break away to the riverside 🦋 

Summer stay-cations are definitely coming back into fashion (and we can’t wait to show you just how great a Bedford stay-cation can be) 

So join us this summer!

We may or may not have some last minute offers on at the minute 👀
