This River Festival weekend, we're doing something a little different. The restaurant won't be open for regular service, instead, we're throwing a patio party in collaboration with Lowrise Brewery, and you're invited. We'll be serving a reduced Sichuan menu alongside draft Lowrise lager and hazy pale, a selection of wines, and some chilled tunes from our DJ. It's the perfect spot to escape the crowds, sit down with something cold, eat something good, and head back out to the festival refreshed. We're just a short walk from the river, so consider us your base camp for the weekend. What to expect Tables are available in 2-hour slots, with the last seating at 7pm. We're running a reduced food menu, no full kitchen service this weekend, but everything on offer has been chosen to work perfectly with a cold beer or a glass of wine in the sun. Booking is essential With large crowds expected in Bedford over the festival weekend, we're keeping the patio carefully managed. We won't be accepting walk-ins so if you'd like to join us, please book in advance through the usual channels. Tables are going quickly. ☔ A small disclaimer: we're outside. Bedford River Festival and the British weather have history. Come prepared.
