Bedford Tavern in Brighton and Hove

Amazing staff and the best Sunday roast in the city!

Sunday lunch was great. We stayed for the entertainment which we loved.

Took 7 years to get back to Bedford tavern, but a must for a visit to Brighton. We have had a brilliant day here. Wonderful staff and our type of people, the fun type or they let me sing along. Thank you Adam and staff. We won't leave it as long until our next visit.

Great pub. Great drinks, food and service too.

This is such a happy, fun loving place, staff and customers so welcoming. Normally a night to remember when you visit!! Drinks are reasonably priced as well. We have had Sunday Dinner on previous occasions and this is fairly priced, delicious and more than enough to get you through the day 😊

Nice little pub, always fast service

A fantastic pub in Brighton. Most delightful landlord and ambience. Would love to spend more time there…

What a fantastic Sunday night.. mad bingo with ruffles

Smallish bar on the edge of Hove/Brighton with great atmosphere and legendary drag performances.

What a great find . Fun unlimited. Adam the manager(?) is extraordinarily good at his job. Snow White,the drag act , was one of the best I've ever seen. The supporting staff did a great job ensuring everyone was having a fantastic time. The food was so good . We will definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends. Thanks for a perfect afternoon and night. Regards Gerrard & EVE (Lincolnshire)

Bedford Tavern always a warm welcome great atmosphere dog friendly

One of the best roasts in Brighton, friendly staff and a very jolly atmosphere!

Came to watch Sophie Causebrook perform . We have been before and knew it would be a superb night ! Adam and his staff are just so dedicated to making this pub work ! Lovely crowd of people , great service and way too many shots 😂😂😂. We will be back ! Xxx

Love the bar staff here. Beers were good but I was confused about the entertainment. Was it on or wasn’t it and it really got late. There was very few in the pub and time was moving. Didn’t look like a cabaret crowd the few in there. Shame really as I was up for it. Left to go elsewhere.

We came here spontaneously and found a hidden Brighton gem! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful and the atmosphere was top-tier - definitely will be visiting again for another night of karaoke and fun!

So empressed with my Sunday Roast dinner. Had Belly pork and has to be the best I’ve had in Brighton 10/10 guys

We came to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary . What an incredible night. From booking being so welcoming from Adam to Anna working her socks off helping us all night with drinks and fun. The fab bar staff, Portia totally totally blew the roof off.. We had an absolute blast…. If you want a great, inclusive, kind , night full of laughter … go! Amazing, thanks so much!

A great find in Brighton. Such friendly people from all walks of life.

A quaint side street pub from the outside But full of life on the inside ,the staff are fantastic and the entertainment is worth Watching and the best homemade Sunday dinners you will get anywhere to eat out

This is my new favourite pub in the world! Life IS a cabaret ole chum!! Amazing roast! Amazing musical bingo! Bravo Bedford!

Great atmosphere as getting ready for piano bingo

Fantastic Sunday Lunch and superb service from Adam and the team. A little gem of a bar.

Wow just wow. Adam and his gorgeous team went above and beyond to look after me and pals. We had a delicious Sunday roasts and then stayed for piano bingo. It was a complete joy from start to finish. Can't wait to come back x

Fabulous place lovely Sunday lunch and great value. Drag music bingo was fantastic!!!

Friendly Gay/Mixed local old school pub.

A fun, friendly local pub. Hugely enjoyed the drag musical bingo 😀

Stay at the Mercure nearby fairly regularly but visited here first time last Saturday. Great service, friendly atmosphere and brilliant act (Portia) who got the pub to sing me Happy Birthday. Good laugh and we really enjoyed it. Will be back - Cliff & Lauraine.

Love this place, friendly staff with a great atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired, I arrived at 15:40 and was told that I could only order food at 16:00. Then at 4:00 p.m. I was told that orders for food are made from 5:00 p.m., given that at 3:50 p.m. two customers received food. DISAPPOINTING!!!!!

Lovely pub, great friendly staff and doesn't cost millions for a beverage.

The absolute essence of a community pub! Fantastic back street boozer run by the brilliant Adam and his team - super-friendly, incredibly inclusive, I wish more LGBTQ venues were like this! Beware of musical bingo on a Sunday though, before you know it it's nearly midnight and you're dancing around the pub!

Came for couple of drinks and a cheese board with friends. Nice gay bar without attitude. Good service and nice range of cheese

I called in here with a friend to try their sunday roast. They were a bit late setting up and had no menus immediately available. Beet was excellent. The cook came out to take out order. we went for the lamb. It was presented rather unuasually in Tamakin form. After my initial surprise, I rucked in and was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and plentiful. Will definately return

Went for a seafood dinner. A bit disappointed the all you can eat was No longer available but menu did not disappoint. The trio pick was quite satisfying. Food was delicious with nice sized portions. Best I've had outside the bay area.

A friendly pub on a side street off the main drag. Has an old school boozer feel to it and has a nice vibe and crowd. The drinks were a tad on the pricy side for a backstreet pub though. I hear Ruffles is a great laugh too when she’s performing.

An amazing spot 👏🏼 great food, good prices amazing performances and weekly bingo! If you want a laugh, in a great setting, look no further🥰

Great find, friendly staff and Sunday night bingo is definitely worth a visit

Fantastic Pub, Cosy, warm, and fun! super affordable drinks and food menu. We'll be back there

Brilliant, friendly, local largely gay pub with excellent acts.

Lovely old school boozer. Gay but mixed crowd. Friendly staff and a community vibe.

What a unique experience especially on a sunday. Its full of likeminded fun people who know how to have a great time. The staff are brilliant, led by Adam…a great host. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Best place in Brighton/Hove. Its not only a Tavern - its community, friends and always so much fun. Karaoke on fridays, drag on Saturdays, drag bingo on sundays... That's everything I need for a great weekend.

Great drag Saturday night sing along !

Adam and the Bedford team provide an excellent Sunday treat! Great Roast dinner followed by hilarious, fun, raucous entertainment with Bonkers Musical Bingo! Loved every minute of it, thoroughly recommend!

Local gay boozer, friendly punters, lovely bar staff and owners.

Absolutely spectacular Sunday roast. Fantastic staff too. Friendly welcoming, perfect boozer.

We go for the Sunday lunch often and it was delicious as usual!! Such friendly staff and the food is cooked by the amazing drag act'Ruffles' that does the Sundays musical bingo also not to be missed later in the evening. 10/10

Bedford tavern is just love, my local

Probably one of the best pubs ever.

Cosy older building, great selection of drinks and snacks, fast bar service

The best "back street boozer" in Brighton. A fantastic, eclectic crowd and a sense that by walking through the door you've become a local. High quality and reasonably priced roast on Sundays. Lunch is followed by drag bingo from 6, which presents a real threat of making Monday mornings unintentionally difficult.

Such an amazing place. The staff are so lovely, funny and welcoming. Entertainment is incredible. Adam the host is full of personality and very funny. Can’t wait to go back! Love it here, can’t recommend enough!!

Landlord Adam met us with the biggest smile ever ! Wow , what a night ! Sophie Causebrook was amazing ! The atmosphere in the pub was electric ! The Barmaid with the beard was a delight, loved her ❤️ All in all we will be back , Bonkers Bingo sound like challenge that we may need to steel ourselves for ..... much love to the whole team, bloody amazing !

Fantastic friendly staff lovely clean pub

Amazing bar, really happy and friendly staff and the manager makes everyone feel welcome. Awesome drag shows and other live entertainment and a really nice Sunday roast to end the week on

Love this pub. Great staff good beer and wines. Great acts over the weekend. A good local.

Lovely, lovely atmosphere and staff very welcoming. We’ve been back every day for past four days having stumbled on the place by accident. We bloody love it here. Voted best pub in Brighton by my other half 😘

Fab food and fantastic entertainment would definitely recommend a night there x

Fabulous sunday afternoon with delicious Roast and music bingo with the wonderful Snow❤️❤️❤️

I popped in for a quick pint… 4-hours later I left after having an amazing night! Staff are brilliant and the atmosphere is fantastic along with a good karaoke DJ. Look forward to visiting again and would definitely recommend

You can’t beat The Bedford for a good local and friendly bar. Great for drinks, and the Sunday lunch is phenomenal!

Community pub, friendly staff and great cabaret. Roasts on Sundays just like Granny used to make with the added glass of vino for £1 a bonus. Manager Adam is a local super hero raising cash for local charities. Great Gin selection, draft beers and local bitter. Love my little LGBTQA+ pub.

Great fun and lovely friendly staff. I recommend!

Old and rundown. Need new carpets as they make the pub smell really bad. One star is for the barman who served us.

Came here to play the bonkers musical bingo and have Sunday lunch…,Recommended as secures your table. WOW what a surprise, such an excellent evening and must be seen …. Excellent hosts, food was good and great atmosphere

Top Sunday! Great roast dinner followed by incredible entertainment from Adam and Snow White Trash at Bonkers Musical Bingo! A must for any weekend in Brighton - we will be talking and about this place forever!! Thanks for making the classy table of Nottingham ladies very welcome🤣

We walked past the fab Bedford Tavern on our way to a lunch in a different pub for a drink. Adam & his staff are so welcoming & told us about Bonkers Bingo taking place later. The Sunday roast looked delicious so I wished we had booked to eat there too. I couldn't wait to scoff our lunch & get back - we were not disappointed & had the most amazing evening singing, laughing & dancing. Can't wait to book another trip to Brighton & go back to the Bedford Tavern for another fantastic night

Bedford always do a fabulous roast.

Most amazing Sunday avo - brilliant roast followed by 'musical bingo' which was so much fun!!! One of the best afternoons for a while, topped off by fabulous staff :)

Nice atmosphere, great staff and always a good time.

Literally my favourite pub in Brighton ❤️

Cool place to hang out with your friends and have a copa. The menu has a lot of vegan options to choose from. The vegan Sunday roast was delicious. Will definitely be back again.

Drag Bingo is my new favourite thing to do on a Sunday ❤

Just arrived in Brighton and went into the pub for a quick drink. Bonkers bingo in progress and a fantastic, fun atmosphere. Landlord Adam and all the regulars made us very welcome. Really friendly. Great evening, warmly recommend the Bedford.

Fell upon this gem. Had a fabulous evening spent with the most welcoming landlord , staff and locals. Jenny had the most amazing voice and vocal range. Made our weekend!

Very friendly and made to feel welcome.

Cracking wee pub staff friendly as always 👍 👌

Fantastic pub. Good vibes, wonderful people. Pawsom!

Fantastic staff..equally fantastic locals. Highly recommended!!!

Well what can you say about the best pub in brighton the top barman Sam and the host Adam were fantastic yet again the act on Saturday night was great the Sunday dinner brilliant and the piano bingo was a scream had a fantastic weekend can’t wait to go back

Amazing staff, Anna was friendly and made our group seem so welcome. 1000% recommend as the place to go in Brighton

Went for lunch for my friend’s 50th and couldn’t have been to feel more welcome. They had trimmed up for him which was a really nice touch. The Sunday lunch was fab and to say we had the best time is an understatement! The locals chatted to us and the host Adam was amazing. We got there at 3pm and left around 10.30pm (after running up a huge bar bill) because we were having such a great time. Piano Bingo was new to me and the best fun! I visit Brighton every year and can not wait to go back.

We called in for a quick drink because we were passing about 8.30pm and had a fantastic night! Really friendly staff found us a table for 10, we watched a great drag queen act and stayed chatting and socialising until 1am… fab night!

Without doubt the best drag night of my life - Crystal Decanter was great, the staff and the regulars made the atmosphere unforgettable

Great pub, had an afternoon pint and Anne behind the bar was really friendly and huge fun

After a long cycle from London to Brighton, we were looking for a place to have a quiet drink before getting food and crashing out early on a Sunday evening. Walking into the first pub we saw, we were greeted by the rilliant staff before even realising we walked into a piano bingo night! The bar staff were friendly and welcoming and the pub has loads of atmosphere. There was a great mix of regulars and newcomers and we ended up staying much later than we should have! A great place, with good beer and an even better atmosphere!

Lovely friendly atmosphere the only ruffles was performing what an amazing person will certainly be going back.

First time i been there . Fab staff

Decided to have a short break in Brighton. This lovely little place was just around the corner from our hotel.. And what a fun night we had!! Everyone was so welcoming and the bar staff could not have be more friendly! We was given the...

Love love love the Bedford tavern. The piano bingo in particular is something not be missed! Plus the food, drink and divine service is amazeballs!

Lovely friendly pub, had a lovely night playing quiz night bingo made us feel so welcome sorry if I drank you out of vodka adam xx

What can I say had booked for the Saturday night and we popped in for a drink in the afternoon, what a welcome from the absolutely gorgeous adam ended up staying in there for most of our stay. Saturday night cabaret kara van park was fantastic one of the best I have seen.sunday lunch was lovely as was mark the chef and all the staff who worked whilst we were there the piano bingo was so good we all laughed from start to finish have never experienced anything like it before, brilliant. The six of us cannot wait to return.

Very welcoming great atmosphere good music well recommended

Fantastic fun - lovely roast and hilarious piano bingo if you don't mind a bit of banter

Great service, fun, clean, safe and very friendly. Piano bingo and cabaret evenings a must! Delicious food too.

Came across this pub by chance last weekend. Really friendly welcome from the landlord/barman and a great atmosphere. Lovely glass of wine too. We couldn't stay long on this occasion but definitely hope to return on our next trip to Brighton and hope to have...
