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 upon us, dine inside or out at The Kingfisher. Enjoy riverside views from the pub, or relax on the riverside terrace. Vibrant seasonal menus await you in our unique setting.

Menu Highlight

Out with the old and in with the new!

As we enter 2025 we are very pleased to share our new menu with you, complete with warming winter dishes such as pie of the week and tempting tipples including Winter Pimms.

“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
