Food Provenance

Fantastic food is what we’re all about at The Kingfisher and with standout suppliers of quality ingredients on our doorstep, wherever possible we’re sourcing locally. Our sausages, steaks and burgers travel under 20 miles from farm to plate with the cows practically living next door at just under 2 miles away! It doesn’t stop there… we’ve also found delightful wines from Warden Abbey Vineyard and guest ales from around the county.

Hi, we’re The Kingfisher!

We were formerly known as The Barns Hotel but after some extensive flood damage, we closed and re-opened as The Kingfisher pub with rooms.

We’re home to 49 bedrooms and The Tithe Barn, a wedding and events venue.

Situated along the River Great Ouse, we have the best riverside terrace in town and superb food to match.

Did we mention we’re dog-friendly too?!

See you soon 🫶
