Longholme Life
The jewel in the crown
Hidden back from the main road over the river you can find us on the central bank of the river Ouse. Join us for lunch or hire one of our boats. Our humble venue is open to all and has been refurbished to benefit all who use the river & local area. For our latest events please reference the above tabs for more information. Parking is available free of charge on The Embankment.
Variety is life
With many years hospitality experience, this family run cafe in Bedford won't let you down. We are one of the few places in town to offer recreational boat hire in Bedford & proud of it. Our food and beverage choices have been carefully selected and lovingly prepared to ensure the best quality at an affordable price. We pride ourselves on good coffee and local fresh foods with regular seasonal changes and special dishes available. Card payments welcome.
