It’s Sunday, the garden is looking beautiful, and there’s no better excuse for a long lunch, a Sunday roast and a drink in the sunshine.

Make the most of the last of those garden days while you can. 🌿✨

Meet the Team Thursday! 👋

This week, we’re introducing one of our top FOH stars, Jess! ✨

Jess has been part of the Bedford Arms family for just over 2 years, and we’re not sure what we’d do without her! She’s always ready with a smile, a laugh and plenty of good energy. 🤍

🍽️ Favourite menu item: Prawn & crayfish Marie Rose sandwich
💬 Favourite thing about The Bedford Arms: The team spirit, close-knit atmosphere and the fact that there’s always plenty of laughter along the way!

And we think that says it all! ✨

Escape to the countryside 🌿🛏️

Our bespoke countryside rooms are made for switching off, think beautifully comfortable beds, thoughtful touches, peaceful surroundings and everything you need for a proper night’s rest.

Whether you’re joining us for a weekend away, a countryside escape or simply fancy a night away from the everyday, settle in, slow down and let us look after you.

Dinner downstairs, drinks by the fire, then back upstairs to one seriously comfy bed… sounds pretty perfect to us. 🤍

Your countryside escape awaits.

Meet the Team Thursday… just two days late! 👀

This week, we’re introducing our Deputy Manager, Evan 👋

🍽️ Favourite menu item: Our gin-cured Chalk Stream trout starter
🔥 Favourite thing about The Bedford Arms: “At Christmas time, walking in to the heat of the fire and the smell of mulled wine.”

Next time you’re in, say hello to Evan, he’ll probably be somewhere making sure everything is running smoothly… or keeping an eye on that trout! 😉
