The Horse and Groom Clapham

About

Nestled in the historic town of Bedford, The Horse & Groom is an inviting coaching‑inn‑turned‑pub that offers a charming blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. The original coach‑yard has been roofed over to create a spacious, divided seating area that comfortably accommodates both casual crowds and intimate gatherings. Accentuating its convivial atmosphere is a large riverside garden that flows down to the River Great Ouse, complete with a dedicated children’s play area. The menu showcases a wide selection of house‑brewed ales alongside a rotating range of guest ales, with a strong emphasis on food—serving lunchtime sandwiches, a full à‑la‑carte dinner menu, and a Sunday roast. With live music, quiz nights, and a relaxed beer garden, the pub is as well‑suited for families as it is for colleagues seeking a relaxed evening out.
