| Having visited here many times, I can confirm that The Wellington has the best beer in Bedford. There will not be many names you will recognise but sure to be something you like. The bar staff are knowledgeable and friendly. This is not a pub where much eating is done – it is a serious real ale (and cider) pub and often crowded with friendly regulars. My only negative comment is that one end of the pub, nearer the loos, often smells strongly of disinfectant, which is rather off-putting to the taste buds! TripleT - 3 Dec 2011 21:26 |
| I visited this pub yesterday lunchtime and found there was a beer and cider festival on. I only had time for a pint as I had to get to my football match. I determined to go back in the evening to find the place packed to the gunwhales at 6pm! Interesting mix of customers ranging from young to quite elderly (me!). Knowledgable staff and good service. Interesting range of beers. Cracking pub. Thoroughly recommended. geoffharwood - 20 Nov 2011 06:15 |
| One of the best real ale pubs in the surrounding counties. No nonsense approach and beer is served and it's best. Hail_to_the_ale - 14 Sep 2011 21:26 |
| Time your visit carefully. Tuesday night often has live music and Fridays and Saturdays are busy enough to drown out the odd couple of locals who seem to look down their noses with disdain at anyone who seems to visit this pub any less than once a week. Beer always good, as are the bar snacks, but some odd choices of beers for a B&T pub (Adnam's and Bass? Are you sure?). Worth a visit, still. the.inspector - 6 Sep 2011 17:10 |
| Still the best pub in Bedford, with a fine array of real ales and a real pub atmosphere. Close enough to the town centre to be convenient, whilst far enough away to keep the riff-raff out. Adnams Southwold Bitter, Bass, Mayfields Summer Pilot, Banks & Taylor Glider, Midsummer Ale & Two Brewers Bitter, North Yorkshire Crystal Tips, Three Castles Sand Castles, St Georges Paragon Steam & Milton Justinian were the ales available. There are also a good selection of continental beers in a fridge around the corner. The only reason I can't give this pub full marks is the lack of a decent cider - Westons 1st Quality and Country Perry were the only options on our visit last night. Although a cider and perry festival was being advertised for the forthcoming bank holiday weekend. Despite this, I can thoroughly recommend a visit here. blue_scrumpy - 13 Aug 2011 11:22 |
