Your Local Pub in Tunbridge Wells

Right in the heart of town, opposite the station, The Bedford is back! Fully refurbished in October 2025, the pub has been revived, re-energised, and ready to pour you something special.

We've got 10 keg beers and ciders on tap, alongside two classic cask ales: Harvey's Best from Lewes and the award-winning Timothy Taylor's Landlord from Yorkshire.

Whether you're here for the rugby, the tunes, or the weekend crowd, The Bedford is your local for everything that makes Tunbridge Wells tick: community, character, and a proper good night out.
