Half Moon, Kempston

I am one of the local mentioned above, so I suppose I will be biased! However, one of the reasons I have become a local here is the diverse nature of the people who drink here. Ages range from the kids of locals who come for the activities that are regularly arranged, to some gents and ladies who have reached the age where they no longer have to work! We all get on, and everyone looks after each other. It is a TRUE community pub. Ladies you can feel quite safe coming in here on your own, the lounge bar will always welcome you with no threatening behavour - the lads and lasses in the public bar are a bit more boystrous than those of us who frequent the lounge, but still everyone is considerate. We have quizzes every Sunday - one week normal quiz run by Roger the landlord, and one week bingo quiz (come along and see how this works) run by my goodself. I think it is one of the best pubs around (and believe me I've been in a few!). You are most likely to get a comment of welcome, or walk in to peals of laughter (not at you) at some discussion taking place around the bar, than that horrible silence you get when the whole place shuts up and turns to look at you when you walk in! Come along and give us a go, oh and Roger keeps the best IPA and Bombardier anywhere.
