Great British food in a spectacular setting
Who knew a place like this could even exist?
Before you decide on which day you come for fondue, you will need to choose whether you would rather cheese or gravy to dip your sides into. It’s a pretty big deal around here (our team are pretty divided in opinion)
So let’s settle it once and for all.
CHEESE OR GRAVY?
The only other thing to decide is who you’re bringing with you!
Celebrate the start of the festive season with us ⛄️
We are hosting our very own Christmas Market on Sunday 29th of November, from 11am to 4pm. With a huge variety of different stalls from some of the best local businesses, we could not be more excited!
We will also be having some live music, toasted marshmallows and a few fun games outside. But don’t worry, the stalls will all be in the warmth of the barn!

November is another busy one here at The Kingfisher!
CHRISTMAS MARKET - 29th November
Stroll around the stalls and grab yourself some good grub while you’re at it. With live music and plenty of marshmallows to go around, it’s a great way to spend a Sunday before the festive season properly kicks off.
WREATH MAKING - 29th November
Join us and our friends @theflowerroomsandyltd to create your very own festive wreath to take home and enjoy. There are two time slots to choose from and tickets cost £60pp.
FESTIVE APRÈS - 27th November onwards
Après at The Jetty is having a makeover in late November. The menus are swapping over to be a little more festive! From roast turkey to pigs in blankets, you’re going to want to try it! (If you haven’t already!)
APRÈS AFTER HOURS
Book a table for Après on a Friday or a Sunday and stay the night from an extra £40pp. What’s not to love? Fondue for dinner and no need to drive home in the dark. Breakfast the following morning to ease your way into the day too.
Haven’t visited in a while? This might just be the perfect time 😆
The clocks went back. We’re choosing to see it as a fondue opportunity 🫕
When the evenings close in this early, The Jetty is the place to be. Heaters and coats on, blankets over your knees and a pot of melted cheese (or gravy!) between you.
Après on the Jetty is here every weekend.
And why rush home when you could stay the night from an extra £40 per person 🛌
Find your group and book your tables - we can’t promise there will be spaces forever!
This is be the closest you’ll get to a ski-lodge without leaving Bedford…
Après at The Jetty reinvents the cosy firelight vibes of the ski season, and combines it with fondue pots and plates of picky bits. Now all you need to do is find a willing accomplice 😋
The hardest choice is which day to come - cheese (Friday & Saturday) or gravy (Sunday)
Come and give it a try before the evenings fill up!
Whether it’s a long lunch with friends or a quiet dinner for two, our kitchen team put real thought into every plate that leaves the pass.
The kitchen has been SUPER busy over the summer, and the menu is full of dishes we’re really proud of. Think proper pub classics alongside plates made for sharing, cooked with produce from local suppliers we know and trust.
What’s your favourite Kingfisher dish? 👇
P.S have you tried our fondue evenings yet?
Yes - YAY! We hope you loved it and are telling everyone you know how fab it was!
No - Why not! Tables are filling thick and fast so get booked in! ASAP!

Could this be the best place to eat a roast in Bedford?
We’ll let you decide 💭
Après at the jetty doesn’t only do roast though… On Fridays and Saturdays it’s traditional cheese fondue, with meats and sides and your first drink free!
Après at The Jetty is priced at £30pp based on two people sharing, so start choosing your team to tackle it!
Fondue evenings are here to stay, so get booking 🫕
Today marks the start of this year’s Après at The Jetty 🫕
From now on, every Friday-Sunday you can dip your way through the weekend. Be it cheese or gravy, there’s plenty to be excited about!
Bedford, grab your coats and scarves because you’ll want to experience this 😋
Decide who you’re bringing and book your table!
A quieter month here, but the most exciting time of year is officially BACK.
Chilly evenings tucked away in The Jetty, dipping all your favourite picky bits into giant pots of cheese or gravy. If there was one thing to get us through the darker evenings and shorter days, this would be it.
The pub and hotel are open as usual, and Après at The Jetty will be open from 5-8pm on Fridays & Saturdays, and 12-3pm on Sundays.
Don’t hang around, tables are disappearing faster than last year 🫕
ONE WEEK TODAY…
…Until Sunday roasts look like this again. Yes, that’s right, it’s back. A full Sunday roast with more of the thing we all love the most - gravy!
A trio of meats - beef, gammon and chicken
Giant yorkshires
Roasties
Parsnips and carrots
See you there Bedford. We’ve always got a table waiting 🍴
Cheese fondue by the river, under a heater, wrapped in a blanket 🫕
Après at The Jetty is back at The Kingfisher from 2nd October. Friday and Saturday evenings for the cheese fondue, Sundays for the gravy fondue roast, all out on the riverside in Bedford.
It sold out fast last year. Table by the river or no table at all… choice is yours💡
Book via the link in our bio.
