When it comes to choosing a destination for a stag many think of Barcelona, Benidorm or Bratislava.
Bedford, however, is frequently overlooked and having visited there as part of a stag party I am struggling to understand why.
It has everything one could ask for when seeking a good bachelor party location - classy women who wear skirts which reach their mid-thigh, plenty of kebab shops and a fine river to go swimming in if you are happy with sub-zero temperatures and a little debris.
Furthermore, you will not be disappointed by some of the alternative cuisine on offer. Bedford is certainly multi-cultural (I even met someone who knew the Italian word for pizza. His favourite Italian restaurant was called Pizza Hut).
The Chinese we visited on the Saturday evening, the originally named Golden Palace, was full of wonderful East Asian delicacies. From chips to Tesco's Value ice cream, this place had the lot. I even learnt something from my experience, Black Forest gateaux is not something restricted to Germany, they have it in China too.
As for the drinking holes on offer you will not be disappointed. Hooch for a pound and wonder-bras get in free at a particular downtown club is something that cannot be missed.
Yes, Bedford certainly ticks all the right boxes.
