Five Bedford reasons to get yourself down here
Pulling the latest events and match previews from The Bedford.
View What's OnRight 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.
"Absolutely love what they've done with the refurb! Great selection of beers, friendly staff, and the interactive darts are brilliant for a night out with mates."
"Best pub in Tunbridge Wells! The Marlowe's burgers are incredible and the atmosphere on a Friday night is unbeatable. Lost downstairs is a hidden gem."
"Great place to watch the rugby. Massive screens, good beer, proper pub grub. Dog friendly too which is a bonus. The refurb has made it even better!"
"Lovely local pub with a great vibe. Harvey's on tap is always a winner. The quiz nights are fun and the staff are really welcoming. Highly recommend!"
