The Kings Arms in Bedford

Had an unexpected evening in the Kings Arms whilst visiting Bedford. Lovely friendly staff. They had a live band playing who were great. Lots of dancing. A great atmosphere.

Lovely pub and great for meeting friends. Spacious. Just one problem is parking. I will definitely visit again.

Can’t believe someone has rated this 1 star what a load of crap everyone welcome and the staff are polite to everyone

Great atmosphere and very friendly place to meet and have a drink, very helpful staff as well.

Always great for food and drinks. Had a very full bacon and egg in a large soft bap for lunch. It was also served with a very tasty fresh salad and dressing

Good traditional pub, friendly staff and most importantly a well poured pint of Guinness.

Buena comida y almuerzo del domingo, buena selección de bebidas, y personal amable. También buena música en vivo en sábado. Está a minutos del río y del centro de la ciudad.

I've been a regular here for years. Great food and Sunday lunches, good selection of drinks, and friendly staff. It has strong reputation for good live music at the weekends.

Great pub! Very friendly staff especially eva, very attentive and makes sure you are well looked after at all times. Sean is an amazing landlord who also looks after you very well and overall the pub is beautiful, very well maintained, everyone is friendly and they are also dog friendly and ensure your dog is very well looked after. Their food is delicious, especially their sunday roasts! 10/10, would recommend if you want a top tier experience and great food

We popped in on a Sunday lunchtime and had a lovely meal. Food was freshly cooked, staff friendly and helpful.

Tan hermoso jardín de cerveza, que admite perros. Acogedor, excelente personal y tan gran elección de bebidas. . . El mejor Guinness de la ciudad

I WENT FOR A SMALL BEER AND I WAS SHOCKED. Local musicians came with instruments. The sound of the instruments... And the singing. I recommend...

Este es un precioso pub justo fuera del centro de la ciudad. Personal amable y ambiente encantador. Ya sea viniendo o de camino a otro lugar. Tiene un hermoso jardín de cerveza para relajarse y escuchar música. Bandas en vivo un sábado por la noche para todos los gustos. Delicioso almuerzo del domingo (y buena comida del menú). Recomendar este pub para parejas, amigos y familias

Fantástico pub adecuado precioso jardín en la parte trasera y personal amable Almuerzo de domingo carne de res era hermosos yorkies caseros y verduras frescas con un montón de salsa Sin duda recomendaría darle una oportunidad a este lugar

Fabulous pub, had a great band playing, hope to visit again at somepoint in the future

Fui a los brazos de los reyes hoy para la comida del día 3 del padre. Teníamos Leonie como nuestro servidor y ella era increíble! Tuvimos un pequeño problema y ella lo arregló de inmediato y fue tan encantador con todo. La comida era increíble. Para empezar comimos calamares y queso de cabra. Mains fue el trío de asados para los dos. Pudín comimos crema brûlée y pera escalfada. El calamar era tan agradable con una salsa muy buena, sin embargo, no estoy muy seguro de lo que era la salsa, pero sabía bien. El asado fue increíble, sin duda volverá un domingo para el asado! Los pudines también eran buenos, la crema brûlée era más agradable que la pera, pero eso es solo preferencia personal. En general, tuvimos un día del padre muy agradable.

Quality vibe, teenager free pub!!

Friendly local pub in town, music every saturday, food weekday lunch times

Didnt have food so can't comment but it's a great pub with live music and a cracking atmosphere

Just went for drinks at lunchtime. Sat in the garden area.

Popped in a few times Nikos and Ashley are always welcoming and friendly. Was recommended the wine and dine menu which we saw at their sister pub the Flying Horse. Was absolutely lovely.

Lovely place, with brilliant and friendly staff. Lovely location and amazing beer garden. Best Sunday roast in town. Best Guinness pint in town 👌

Had a great experience when I visited The Kings Arms with my family, great selection on the menu to cater to my families needs dietary needs which is nice. The food was great and served with a smile by our lovely waitress Scarlett. We have visited the Kings Arms before and there is always a brilliant atmosphere and the whole experience today was lovely. Thank you!

My family and I visited the Kings Arms in February 2024. We are a party of 4 - 3 adults and a 14 month old baby. Our waitress was so welcoming and I especially liked how she valued my baby as a customer. She brought him crayons and paper and he also received a free platter of fruit and veg to snack on. We all ordered meals (including the baby) and the starters, mains and desserts were amazing. Flavour and quality with every dish. I felt that it was responsibly priced. We visit restaurants and pay in excess of £125 however a 3 course meal for us was under £100. Gutted I didn’t get the name of our waitress but all of the staff we came across were friendly. We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep. Highly recommend a visit

Great night watching Jam69 with like minded people. Polite and efficient bar staff. Not our first visit, always attend when our preferred music genre is playing

Fantastic Sunday roast as ever at the Kings Arms, large portions and perfectly cooked veg. Highly recommended and great value for money.

we went for a Sunday Roast and it was the best Sunday roast i’ve had in years, our waitress was really lovely and the deserts were the best i’ve seen in a long time!!!

The food and service was amazing. The staff were so lovely and caring. Would definitely come back in the future with family.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere and the staff are very friendly! They also do roasts on Sundays which are delicious

Tuesday nights are quiet but the pub is welcoming and the staff friendly. Drinks reasonably priced.

Nice friendly staff for a off the street pop in place

Didn’t even this know this place was here. Was met by Nikos the Manager and the waitress Ashley was awesome. Can recommend the steak and Malbec Pie was lovely. Best cocktail Pina Colada.

Had our 1st Sunday roast here yesterday (definitely won't be our last)!! Fresh, tasty and hot 😋 plenty meat and large bowl of seasonal veg. Little extras like horseradish and mint sauce provided automatically without having to ask, ho a long way. Service friendly and welcoming. Thanks

First time here will certainly be back again. Since we first went here we have been back many times always get a warm welcome. Many thanks to you all.

Good beer, staff, size, location, car park.

The perfect place to relax after a day's work.

Welcoming staff and reasonable choice of beer. Didn't eat but the peanuts were good :-)

Local live music pub. Sean is a great host.

What a wonderful establishment, amazing staff, very welcoming. Best Guinness in town. Great live music.

Popped it for a drink and chat with friends. Played snooker. Liked how bartender finished my Guinness

Fantastic proper pub on the edge of the town Great homemade food well kept beers large outside area and awesome jukebox Definitely the place to go on a Saturday night for the best live music

Great customer service and friendly staff

Wonderful place to go and have a meal and a drink, the manager and all the team are very welcoming. The pub garden is very well looked after and a great place to sit and relax. Good place to go for a weekend and listen to some great bands. Will be returning soon .

We called in here on a Friday evening before dinner as it was very close to the hotel in which we were staying. We had two glasses of Pinot Grigio for £9. It was a pleasant traditional pub with good staff.

Popped a group off us for a drink service was very good. Sat in garden good atmosphere but then somebody turned the music up a couldn't hold conversation that was only down side

Outstanding family, roast wonderful home, cooked meat melts in your mouth. Sean and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Come and try for yourself.

Great pub 👌 will visit every trip to Bedford

Great little Bedford pub, very good live music and staff are always amazing. Always enjoy coming with friends and family

Always great experience every time I come in here. Staff always friendly and welcoming and just generally a nice Place to drink with family and friends

Popped in for a Sunday roast. Not only was the good beautifully presented, it tasted devine. Well seasoned roasties and al dente veg, succulent pork and beef with perfect Yorkshire pudding. Great value for money, warm friendly atmosphere, highly recommended.

The jam 69 where brilliant that night going back to se them in September

Amazing place, really friendly staff. Welcoming pub. Dog friendly. With Amazing beer garden. 🍺

Great service great food great drink Nice place to go on a Sunny day lovely garden And they do vegetarian Option

Went to catch up with friends and our waitress Em was amazing , food was delicious . Children’s portions very generous.

Could do with decorating and the terrible smell coming from gent’s toilets .

Extremely expensive. We ordered 2 beers and 2 Sunday roasts we were charged 40 pounds. The food is not quality worth the money and the soda water from the tap is charged as a normal drink. I don't think I will ever visit this place again.

Nic and jade were amazing hosts. The food was great.

Nice pub with good beer selection, friendly and helpful staff,

Just a diamond of a pub... excellent staff.. excellent beers and such a great atmosphere.... top class establishment

The best pub in Bedford, hands down I would recommend for anyone

My local, best landlord in Bedford. Friendly, simply my favourite pub in my beloved town. Can do all occasions, I’ve had work do’s, birthdays, sports, all events including Saint Patrick’s day all great times. Bands most Saturdays and a fab cook (Sean landlord is the chef superb). Recommend for anyone!!!

Fab night watching Skimmington Ride. I've not been out in Bedford for a while and the atmosphere and the people were great.

Good beer nice staff has an atmosphere traditional boozer regular bands good Sunday lunch An under rated pub that doesn't get the credit it should because it's just out side off town and not in the spotlight I'm mid 40s and in a charming way it hasn't changed much since I was 17 maybe you could call it old fashioned but in a good honest quality way In a time where we are loosing traditional pubs at around 10 a week this one's a suviver and worth giving your support

As a member of a Bedford rambling group we pre booked a lunch here and used the pub car park. On our return the staff were ultra efficient. When we had purchased our drinks and were seated at our reserved table, the food started to...

I visited with my family and there were a great variety of dishes on the menu and I went for the salmon which was delicious. All the staff were very friendly, my waitress was called Scarlett and she was very smiley and informative which made...

The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful ,the staff are wonderful and nic was a superstar attending to our needs and very polite and positive. Definitely worth going again.

Had a great gig night seeing Sham69.

Amazing pub lovely staff a must visit.

we went in and had to wait 10 minutes for our table even though we had booked. i ordered baked mushrooms for my starter and there was still mud on almost all of them, i had a lemonade and it wasn’t fizzy and had zero lemons flavour because it was plain water that tasted like chlorine. me and my dad got a dirty burger and he had no mayo in it and barely any bacon compared to me. the chips on the side of my burger were uncooked and soggy. then i asked for a trio cheesecake and they said they only had caramel and had run out of the other flavours that were supposed to be in it, although 15 minutes later i saw someone get given a trio cheesecake with all the flavours, my brownie had ice cream on the side and i was given it completely already melted and covered all over the brownie. the plates that were on the table when we arrived were dirty, covered in food and ketchup. We also had to wait 20 minutes for the waiters to ask us what we wanted for dessert to the point where we had to go to the bar and ask. A one star is kind.

Very friendly place with attentive staff and good food

Staff are excellent, good food and atmosphere.

Consistently excellent beer, superb staff, nice homely environment for a weekend gig. I've been there for several good nights out. A friendly pub.

Great music venue. Packed for Jam 69

Very welcoming pub, great staff, excellent real ale 👍

Staff and owner very friendly and helpful. Premises are clean and tidy and the Sunday lunch is exceptional with generous portions

First visit. Very friendly service. Excellent food with a super choice of beers. Would call again.

Went to the King Arms, to celebrate the life of a lots ,but never forgotten, member of the family, lovely food very good staff. Thankyou.

Great spot 👌 and great entertainment.

Nice little pub. Friendly staff.

Quieter than it should be on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Walk across the town bridge and take a look.

Traditional town pub, with decent real ales. Few other pubs in this immediate area south of the river Great Ouse, though it's just a few minutes walk from the town centre, so easy to reach across the bridge. Closed Mondays.

Good parking, great beer and friendly, professional staff. Will definitely visit again.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

What a pleasent discovery Landlord very happy to share the history of the pub. We will ne back

Good pub with live music excellent

Shawn runs a great pub, brilliant music and food is fresh. We have enjoyed afew good events there just recently. Bar staff very friendly too.

Popped in for a quick drink and ended up staying for about 4 hours + and had an enjoyable afternoon chatting with the guvnor. Its a friendly well managed pub with great Guinness and a good selection of other beers, largers and spirits. Its the oldest pub in Bedford and would recommend a visit.

We were looking for somewhere to have a Sunday roast lunch in Bedford and we found a great place here! We regularly have a drink here but didn't even know they served food. The landlord cooks it all from scratch and it was a very generous meal for a good price. With some trad puds if you still have room! Thanks Sean and co!

Great venue, excellent music, went on a MeetUp, lovely bunch of people.

Brilliant pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Staff are all excellent apart from Sean who's a bit ropey.... 😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great value, lovely food and friendly, efficient staff.

Had a roast here today, food was so nice, lots meat had to take doggy bag home, definitely go again

Fantastic night service was excellent Great atmosphere

I was very disappointed in the service on Mothers Day. Our table of 8 was booked at 7pm and our order wasn’t taken till 8pm. The service was very slow overall and the fish and chips tasted watery. We did not leave until 22.30 and...

I'm not a pub going person. I went to a covid delayed wake for a work friend who past in the early stages of the covid pandemic in 2020. Being an old traditional pub it's quite small as you'd expect so we managed to pretty much take over the place. Car park at the rear is tight especially for larger cars or vans. No complaints, but nothing to right home about. It's an old style British pub, exactly what you expect.

Great proper pub. Really friendly atmosphere and staff, and one of the best pints of Guinness I've had.

Lovely Sunday roast beef dinner

Lovely little pub ambience great lovely food will go again

Saw a band called Jam69.They were good. Drummer was too good for the rest though!

Great friendly local pub. Welcoming landlord and a decent beer garden out the back. often live bands on at weekends give it a go better than the usual chain of pubs which are the same in every town.
