Thank You Oakley!!!

It’s been an amazing first week at the Bedford Arms, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We want to take this opportunity to first of all thank all of our new Team Members who have absolutely excelled this week.

…and then, you, our wonderful patrons, the residents of Oakley and surrounding areas.

You’ve been so welcoming, so understanding, and just so incredibly nice and supportive.

We’re incredibly excited to go on this journey with you, and turn the Bedford Arms back into the Village Pub you all deserve.

So, Thankyou Oakley.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
DELAYED REOPENING

Unfortunately, due to an issue that has arisen this week, we are making the difficult decision to delay our reopening by one week. To keep everyone up to date, we wanted to explain that we have recently had work done to our kitchen that has required sign off for gas safety before we can be issued with the relevant certification which has not been possible before our planned launch date on Thursday 5th September.

It is for this reason that we have made the decision to postpone our opening. We have been working hard to get everything ready but we want things to run as smoothly as possible from when we reopen so, please be assured that although a difficult decision, it is one we feel is completely necessary.

We had an overwhelming response to our original announcement post and we are genuinely incredibly grateful for all your support already. All those who have booked in will be contacted to offer a change of date for their booking. We have also opted to add a second soft launch date. We will now reopen from 6pm on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th September where our guests will be able to enjoy 50% off their food bills.

We will then reopen from Friday 13th September from 12:00 for normal trade, we will also have live music in our bar from 7pm, more details to follow shortly.

If you have any questions, or would like to book in, please email us at [email protected].

Once again, please accept our sincere apology for this delay.

We are excited to finally announce our reopening date! 🥳

We are hosting a soft launch evening in the bar and restaurant on Thursday 5th September from 6pm! There will be limited restaurant tables and 50% off the food bill for all restaurant bookings 🍽️

Following our soft launch, the pub will be open from 12pm every day starting Friday 6th September!

We can't wait to welcome you back to The Bedford Arms! ❤️
