Solid Food & Bar Scene at The Bedford! 🍻

The Bedford is something of a Balham institution—a multi-level hub of food, drinks, comedy, and culture that truly has it all. Spread across four vibrant floors, it offers a unique blend of classic pub charm and contemporary energy. 🏢 Four Floors of Fun Ground Floor: A buzzing bar and restaurant serving hearty British classics Upper Floors: Home to a popular theatre and comedy club 🎤 Top Level: Even has hotel rooms for those who want to turn a great night into a full stay 🛌 🍽️ Saturday Late Lunch Vibes We visited for a late Saturday lunch and were seated at a table that felt slightly tucked away—right next to three or more prams (though no babies or mums in sight!), as part of a larger group spread across nearby tables. A bit cozy, but full of local life! 🦑 Food That Hits the Spot Crispy Squid Starter – golden, tender, and perfectly seasoned Chicken Pie with Mash & Veg – a generous, comforting portion, ideal for a weekend treat 🥧 Fish & Chips – my daughter’s pick, and no complaints at all! 🐟🍟 Steak & Fries – cooked just right, satisfying and flavorful 🥩 🖼️ Quirky Decor with a Dose of Nostalgia As we ate, we were watched over by slightly flashy photos of faded pop idols from yesteryear – a playful, slightly surreal touch that added to the Bedford’s character! 💬 A Balham Favorite for a Reason Whether you're here for the food, the comedy, the theatre, or just a pint in a proper pub, The Bedford delivers a reliable, lively, and genuinely London experience. #TheBedfordBalham #PubGrub #ComedyClub #LondonLocal #WeekendEats #BritishClassics
