19th Century traditional family run Inn, situated in the Castle Quay part of Bedford, close to the River Ouse.
The Castle is your village pub in the centre of town, offering a warm, relaxing and friendly welcome, as well a great choice of cask ales, ciders, fine wines, soft and hot drinks. We have recently teamed up with two local restaurants, Pizzeria Santaniello, who will supply the Castle with authentic Italian pizza's to eat in and Rice Thai who will freshly cook and deliver some traditional Thai cuisine while you enjoy a relaxing drink in a traditional pub.
The Castle has an enclosed outside courtyard area for the summer months, as well as a large car park.
We can cater for functions too, we do not have a separate function room, but if you are looking for somewhere to have a small celebration, leaving do, or even a wake we can supply a buffet to suit your needs.
If you are looking for accommodation in Bedford, the Castle has five en-suite guest rooms that are fittingly named after famous British Castle's. They include three doubles, one twin and a family room with an adjoining room with bunk beds. All rooms have flat screen TV with Freeview and free guest Wi-Fi access as well as tea and coffee-making facilities.

Great small pub wonderful beer friendly staff
Rooms are simple but clean however can be a bit cool. Heating doesn’t seem to quite keep up with the cold weather. Staff in the pub are very friendly and helpful. Great location with large private parking.
Great Sunday lunch, glad they have started doing it again...although adding cauliflower cheese as an extra when it used to be included for an extra £2.50 when the dinner has increased by £5.00 is bit of hit to the wallet for a family!
Absolutely heaving so busy but staff were quick and efficient in serving drinks,just popped in with friends before going on to party.Great atmosphere and friendly, parking easy at lurke Street car park.
Visited Bedford after moving away over 20 years ago. This pub is still as good as ever. Great atmosphere, really good outdoor area, staff are friendly, and the drinks are to o quality. Thank you, we'll be back!
