| Good selection of reasonably well kept beers available here, plus of course Wetherspoons food which fills a hole for a reasonable price, but don't expect a-la-carte though! Pub is huge, lacks atmosphere and is often understaffed (or is staffed by persons not capable of doing their job well) opens at 9am and does a steady trade consisting of the unemployed and smelly old men drinking Guinness for breakfast. Dining area is slightly better and popular with young mothers for coffee and pensioners for the cheap food. Close to bus and rail stations. Sadly it's in the a*se-end of town and seems to attract a fair bit of it's clientele from here. If your passing, it's ok, but there are better pubs not too far away. manx_888 - 9 Dec 2011 14:41 |

| I was reasonably impressed by this Wetherspoons. Oxfordshire Marshmellow, Vale Gravitas, Ruddles Best, Greene King Abbot, Oakham White Dwarf & Arundel Summer Daze were the real ales. Thatchers Traditional, Addlestones, Westons Vintage Organic, Old Rosie & Marcle Hill & Mr Whiteheads Festival Perry were the real ciders and perries on offer. This is a particularly large Spoons. The paintings (presumably featuring scenes from the Pilgrim's Progress) at the rear are quite impressive. Recommended. I can also recommend the Indian restaurant Baraka further up the Midland Road, where we enjoyed a very tasty curry. blue_scrumpy - 13 Aug 2011 11:17 |
| One of the better pubs in town for choice of well kept real ales - one of the few in Bedford to reguarly stock darker beers and more full bodied ales instead of "boys" bitters. Mid Afternoon or later in the eves are the best times for a quiet pint if you dont want to feel like your sitting in a kindergarten or having sports tv "shoved" in your face. moclips2002 - 5 Jun 2010 13:14 |
| Better of the two Wetherspoons in the town, handy for the bus station and with helpful staff. So - better than adequate Arctium_lappa - 12 Apr 2010 21:21 |
