The King's Arms Bedford

The Kings Arms is an historic pub, just a stone’s throw from the idyllic Bedford Embankment and town bridge. 

It provides a relaxed daytime venue for business meetings, casual lunches with friends and family, or just somewhere to snatch a quick bite and beer before re-joining the treadmill of the daily grind.

The welcoming atmosphere continues with evening entertainment, including poker nights every Thursday. 

Saturday nights at the Kings Arms are legendary. Up-and-coming bands vie with established favourites to fill the pub to its 200-person capacity, additional seating allows the less energetic to look on towards a full dance floor while the band do “their thing”. Extra live music events can be found on some Friday nights and Sunday afternoons.

The daily food menu includes a range of dishes using local produce that caters for most tastes, plus roast dinners served every Sunday afternoon.

The bar serves a large selection of beers, guest ales, wines, spirits, soft drinks, and hot beverages. It has been included in The Good Beer Guide for many years.

Other Features

Its features include ample parking; free Wi-Fi; a pool table; and a large garden that can seat up to 60, with a dedicated secluded smoking area that is heated when the temperature drops.

Private Hire

The Kings Arms regularly accommodates and caters for family gatherings, such as birthdays, christenings, and wakes. Please get in touch to discuss any special events that you have coming up.
