Bedford Rowing Club Riverside Bar

The pub is underrated. It is on Duck Mill Lane but you can access it easily via the emankment. We sat on the balcony and had some beautiful views of the Great River Ouse. It looks stunning at night time. Drinks were very reasonable and didn't break the bank. Staff are friendly and it wasn't too busy at 6.30pm. I would recommend this place if you want a quiet drink in the sun in Bedford Town.

Fantastic rowing club and great bar upstairs that anyone can come and use. Lovely views of the river from the balcony.

The rowing club is a really friendly location the bar staff are really fun and really accommodating to your needs. Really great selection of beer and drinks. Cooked breakfast was fantastic and really great value.The best part is the view from the balcony you can just see some of the best bits of Bedford and of course enjoy the river.

I booked this venue for a wedding reception on Dec 3rd and was assured that they would not put up Christmas decorations until after the wedding, as it was clearly booked as a Wedding reception and NOT a Christmas party.I was horrified, on driving past 6 days before, to see full Christmas grotto including a particularly gawdy artificial tree!This is a very small venue, chosen for its intimacy for a small gathering of family and friends but it was filled to the gills with Christmas tatt!I might have been able to tolerate a real tree with discreet twinkling lights but red tinsel was a step too far.The ONLY plus was I spotted it before my wedding day and while upset, we were able to pull off an alternative venue in 5 days. But if it had been down to the venue, I would have been none the wiser until the day.Don’t trust them with your plans!

Had a family 30th/60th birthday party here. Perfect size venue.Ash and the team were superb helping to make the evening a huge success.The food was excellent and well received, and catered for allergies.Definitely be using this venue again.Thanks guys

great place to relax for the whole family

Very welcoming - no need to be a member. The £7 breakfast is epic and exceptional value - believe me, I have tried most in Bedford and this is the best I've found at any price (I couldn't resist starting it before I took the picture, sorry!).

We had a 30th there in JanuaryThe staff were very welcoming and helpful.The bar is very well stocked. Look forward to having many more events there.

Great view and ambiance could do with some more food and cheaper prices and longer opening hours beer is well overpriced now £5:40 a pint tables and chairs need a touch up apparently cheaper if you're a member though

Lovely bar to sit and watch the river over a cold drink. Very reasonable prices, lovely staff
