Friendly bar staff. Soft drinks for drivers and kids. Well kept real ales. We've got a good local, but if you haven't, or you're looking for a change, it's a great venue. The special events are near continuous, creating a reason to visit almost every day. Sunday - almost all tables reserved from 6pm in the main eating area. Book to avoid disappointment.

The pub draws a good crowd on a Monday night for the weekly open band session run by super-talented local musician Mat Roberts, but beware the karaoke on a Saturday unless you're well over 50 or deaf. Extremely friendly landlord too, who often makes the effort to walk around and ask his customers how they are.

Did the baked potato with baked beans and a side salad, which was excellent, then tried the fish & chips! Wow! They even have a type of Happy Hour from 2-5pm, where the food is cheaper, and just as good! Would definitely recommend Wetherspoons and can't wait to try some of their other locations.

My absolute favourite spot for a pint in Bedford. I have come here multiple times with friends and…read morehave never had a negative experience. The sheds in the garden make for a nice, intimate setting to sit with friends and socialise as well as the wider garden being having a great atmosphere when it gets full on a Saturday night. The beers from the tap are always good quality and the service is always good relative to the amount of people at the bar. It tends to get packed in there as the building the very narrow, especially by the bar so it can get a bit claustrophobic during busy hours. However the bartenders always handle it well and quickly get orders out during even the most busy periods. I can't comment on the food they serve as I've never ordered but overall by experiences here have been more than excellent and I will continue to come here for a long time.

Every time I'm there I insist on a lengthy visit to The Wellington Arms. Why? Simple. It is the best traditional, urban pub I know. Anywhere. You can't move for beery memorabilia (no, that's not what you find on the floor outside 'Spoons every Sunday morning, incidentally....), waxed pine furniture and TONS of real ale. These fellas must have 10 on at any one time. Yes, 10!!! As you stand like a rabbit in the car head lamps, they even offer you samplers. Fantastic. The landlord refers to it as a permanent festival. He's right, check out the website. A great home from home & a place to cherish. I can't believe it hasn't been reviewed before. Real Ale Drinkers of Bedfordshire, put down those Fairport Convention albums and get off to The Wellington now. Yes, NOW! You'll be wondering where the time goes......

We were very pleased with the service and the staff were efficient and friendly. It had a nice atmosphere and was clean. The special 2-4-1 offers are fantastic value, and we were very happy with the food (both quality and quantity) I had Cumberland sausage and mash, and the sausages were lovely and nicely seasoned, the mash was nice and creamy, and the gravy wasn't too runny.. If you want a decent value for money meal, I'd recommend to give this place a go.
