Herd

Now a staple of Bedford's restaurant, and nightlife scenes, Herd continues to deliver quality food, great drinks and a club vibe that is more akin to the haunts I used to travel to London to find, than any typical Bedford night spot. The food is good, but it's always been good in my opinion. If you're hankering for a burger, this is a decent place to get one. There's a great range of craft beers and gin options so you won't be left wanting on the alcohol front. But the best thing about the place - is the downstairs room! At the back of the venue there's a door that leads down to one of the best intimate clubs rooms I've ever seen (and for better or worse, I've seen a lot!) The things that makes it, is the sound. The system is loud, but the room is so exquisitely engineered that you can still have a conversation on the dance floor. It's something I've never experienced anywhere else and I highly recommend you check it out if clubbing to decent music is your thing. There are DJ's there most weeks as well as up on the restaurant area from time to time. Music is a staple at Herd and the vibe is relaxed, friendly and a lot of fun. Check it out.

Small niche place that knows how to cook food. The Sunday roast is by far the best I've ever had eating out. Been 3 times so far and each time was the same , perfect consistency. Freshly cooked and hot , also you get a full plate unlike everywhere else. Ambience is great and staff are great. Diving in to a burger next as have heard they are amazing. If you're thinking of going there think no more , just go , you won't be disappointed!

I live in Brighton with my 30 year old son and we consider ourselves Burger aficionados. We always try out any new outlets and have a Burger delivery at least once per week. I have met Jess and Matt who own and run Herd. They are a lovely couple and run an excellent bar. Their burgers were recommended to me by a friend and my first thought was that 'they can't be good at making burgers too'. As it was my first order I went for my reference burger, a Cheeseburger with nothing else except maybe onion. I was hungry so I ordered two. When I took the burgers out of the bag I was surprised how substantial they were and thought that there was no chance I would eat both of them. I am finally getting there with the review. They were two of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Truth! They were that perfect pink but still thoroughly cooked. I absolutely annihilated them and for a few moments before my gluttonometer kicked in I thought I could of handled a third. I could not recommend them more highly. Jess and Matt don't only do good burgers too. Then do flipping excellent burgers too.
