Beautiful riverside pub and hotel 🥂
Restored to its late-Victorian heyday ✨
Set on the Great River Ouse in the heart of Bedford 🍃
(2938)

The Embankment has been a Peach Pub since 2008 since when it has become one of the premier spots in the heart of Bedford. The clue to our location is in the name! Bedford’s beautifully-landscaped Embankment has wonderful views out over the River Great Ouse, the boathouses and all the hustle and bustle of life on the river. The Embankment Hotel was built in 1891 and we renovated it to reflect its l

ate-Victorian heyday, but with all the modern comforts & facilities of a great pub. The atmosphere is relaxed and hospitable. There is no stuffy hotel lobby or residents’ lounge, just a team of friendly faces to look after you.

Catch of the day ⚓️

Fresh from the shores to your plate! Our daily specials are packed full of delicious dishes & you do not want to miss out on this week’s star dish ⭐️

Fish of the Day: Whole Lemon Sole 🐟
Served with: Tender new potatoes, crisp green beans, and a rich, savory caper brown butter sauce.

We source our fish locally from our friends at ensuring every single bite is as fresh as it gets 🎣

Pair your fish with a glass of our incredible Viña Real barrel-fermented Rioja Blanco, imported straight from Spain 🇪🇸

The Aroma: Delicate, floral, and bursting with bright citrus notes.

The Finish: A beautifully well-rounded, creamy palate that perfectly complements our caper brown butter sauce.

In our opinion, it’s a match made in culinary heaven😌

Summer Stroll 2026 💘🐶

Thank you SO much to every single one of you who joined us on Sunday morning-it truly is such a special date in The Embankment diary 📔

Abbie + Bethany couldn't believe the number of new faces on the walk, and are totally obsessed with how all the dogs got on(+ Bethany was overjoyed to spend her birthday cuddling dogs non stop🐾)

A good turnout means we're proud to say that £165 is being split between two brilliant charities close to home: RATS Animal Rescue and Canine Partners-and that's down to you all! ☺️

👀 Follow along to hear the announcement of when the Autumn walk will be happening (sometime in October) and in the meantime we look forward to seeing you in the pub 🥂

ps. DM us any piccies you took!! Xx

🍓Two little guests. On us.

This school holiday, when you order a main meal or lunch deal, two children can enjoy a complimentary meal with every paying adult, mon-fri. So whether it's a family catch-up, a post-adventure lunch or an easy midweek treat, there's one less thing to think about ✌🏻

Because the best family moments are shared around the table.
