The Pub

At the Kingfisher our aim is to produce the best quality dishes with the lowest food miles. Our meat travels under 15 miles from farm to plate and our fruit is delivered from just a mile away. It doesn’t stop there… we’ve also found delightful wines from Warden Abbey Vineyard and guest ales from Bedfordshire and surrounding counties.

Unique Dining Spaces

With the warmer months nearly upon us, join us at The Kingfisher and enjoy riverside views from the pub whilst you dine. Vibrant seasonal menus await you in our unique setting.

Menu Highlight

As the days lengthen and the temperature slowly climbs we’re looking forward to sunny afternoons and relaxing evenings complete with good food, great company and lasting memories.

With choices including fish and chips, succulent steaks, salads and traditional Sunday Lunches there is something for everyone at The Kingfisher.

“Everything about the Kingfisher was perfect – the customer service was excellent, the restaurant was warm and inviting and our food was delicious – we will definitely be back! – December 2024
