Bedford Soda & Liquor was the brainchild of three friends Matt Nicholls, Sam Ansley & Jeremy Wells. With the 10 year anniversary fast approaching Matt, Sam and Jeremy decided it was time for a bit of a refresh, so have once again brought in JC who has given the drinks offering a shake up with an entirely new offering in fitting with the original Bedford format.
