The Bedford Balham is a landmark pub, entertainment venue and hotel on Bedford Hill. Its collection of distinctive rooms includes a ballroom, saloon bar, cocktail bar, club room, mezzanine and private dining space, giving the building a lively character that changes throughout the day and evening.
Food follows the seasons and takes a modern approach to familiar British pub cooking. Lunch and dinner menus use produce from carefully selected suppliers, balancing hearty main courses with lighter dishes, snacks and choices that suit a quick visit as well as a more leisurely meal.
Sunday lunch is a particular weekly draw, bringing generous roasts and traditional accompaniments to the dining rooms. Bar food, puddings and a separate children’s selection make it straightforward for groups and families to build a meal around different appetites.
Craft beer, artisan spirits, cocktails and a considered wine list accompany the food. Live music, comedy and other performances continue The Bedford’s long association with entertainment, while fifteen hotel rooms and several bookable spaces support weddings, private events and overnight stays.
Address: 77 Bedford Hill, Balham, London SW12 9HD, United Kingdom
