Bustling pub acting as a surrogate waiting room to the railway station opposite for thirsty travellers. With a choice from 10 hand pumps with one for cider, the Bedford is a magnet for drinkers near and far specialising in Kent and Sussex brews. In addition to Sky and BT sports coverage, it is possible to hire the pub's Vale Vault for a VIP sports package. Saturday live music is performed along with other events during the week. Guest beers are charged according to their alcoholic strength and there is a Cask Ale Club where all beers cost £3.50 Monday through to Wednesday. Meals can be delivered from a nearby cafe.
