The Longholme Cafe is an independent, lakeside cafe located along the Embankment in Bedford, at the Longholme BoatHouse and Boating Lake and the River Ouse. Surrounded by water and wildlife, it offers a peaceful setting for breakfast, lunch, and great coffee all year round.
Established in 2017 and fully refurbished, the cafe serves locally sourced, seasonal food with vegan and gluten-free options, alongside carefully selected drinks. Proud to be one of the few places in Bedfordshire offering recreational boat hire, The Longholme Cafe combines a relaxed riverside atmosphere with friendly, professional service and a genuine local feel.
