CAMRA voucher scheme

A former furniture store and now a Wetherspoons hotel. There are five distinct areas in the bar including a mezzanine giving access to the non-smoking part of the outside area, the smoking area being below it. Very popular with all ages. Near the redeveloped riverside area and across the road from the pedestrianised town centre. Architecturally significant in the town. The decor plays tribute to Glenn Miller who was based just outside Bedford and played in the town before his disappearance.

Information for this venue is provided by the North Bedfordshire Branch of CAMRA
