Our Lounge

Alberto Lounge is in a handsome old listed school building, right on the banks of the Great Ouse in the historic heart of Bedford. We’ve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus), served in a relaxed, laid-back environment.

With our lovely courtyard to one side and the river to the other, you’ll be spoiled for a spot of people (and duck) watching!

A person picks up a French fry from a plate with fried chicken, fries in a blue bowl, coleslaw, and dipping sauce. A drink with ice sits nearby on a colorful checkered table.

A plate with avocado toast topped with poached eggs, pickled onions, and herbs sits on a marble table, next to a fork and knife. Another plate with hash browns and beans is partially visible.

A yellow coffee cup with latte art on top sits on a red saucer with a spoon, placed on a wooden table; a green floral-patterned cushion is visible beside the table.
