The Hidden Barrel

The Hidden Barrel is a welcoming micropub in the heart of Bedford serving a range of cask ales and craft beers, along with a solid selection of spirits and wines.

With a focus on quality, they serve a changing selection of these real ales and craft beers, including local favourites from breweries like Rocket Ales and Saxby’s Cider.

While it doesn’t have a full kitchen yet, they have teamed up with neighbouring Italian restaurant, Mamma Concetta so customers can order food and enjoy it inside the Hidden Barrel.

The Hidden Barrel has a friendly, community vibe and regularly hosts events like quiz nights, live music, and pub games. They also have a pool table, football table and a TV for watching sports.

It is dog and family friendly, offers free Wi-Fi and is just a short walk from Bedford train station and local bus routes.

Whether you’re after a quiet pint or a fun evening out, it is a great spot to relax and enjoy great company!
