The Chairman left this review about The Hidden Barrel
This is now called the Hidden Barrel and is, unusually, a pub specialising in cask beer and Lithuanian beers. The operator is very keen on both, and is keeping his real ales very well. As a truly independent pub he is sourcing these from minor breweries (Potton, Tring, Weldon, Buntingford, Rocket) and is ambitious to widen the selection from the current two handpumps to four or more. This is a rare oasis for good beer in the central shopping area of Bedford.
