A brand new look, dining and drinking experience is coming soon to Bedford

After months of trend spotting, menu tasting and interior designing, we are excited to share with you a first look at the transformation coming to our stylish restaurant & bar.

Whether you’ve been strolling through the idyllic countryside with your favourite four-legged friend, looking to relax with a top-quality Sunday roast or celebrating a special occasion, we’re confident our fresh new look and menu have got you covered. So, tell your friends and family and be sure to book soon to be the first to experience the best country pub in Bedford.

Taking you right through from morning to night, our transformed space will transform, from coffee catch ups to lively Saturday nights and chilled out Sunday roasts, effortlessly. The new and improved décor is a top to tail transformation, taking inspiration from the UK’s most luxurious country dining and drinking hotspots. The sophisticated design combines earthy, wooden tones with a rich warm palette, brass finishes and smooth leather, creating an opulent and cosy feel. Open log fires, plush velvet seating and feature lighting also add a touch of glamour to this otherwise relaxing and inviting space. Expertly crafted furniture, eye-catching artwork and feature finishing touches, make the pub truly one-of-a-kind.

A new feature bar will be the centre of the sociable space which will house marble topped champagne tables, plushly upholstered booths and bespoke lighting features. Opulent swag curtains reveal a new look behind every corner.

Your time is precious so “sit down and feed, and welcome to our table”

If you’re after a roast then The Kings Arms is the place to be, from succulent cuts of meat to the freshest veg, dining with us is the idyllic end to a relaxing weekend. All freshly prepared by its expert team of chefs using the very best ingredients.
