It used to be claimed that Toddington had the most pubs per head of population of any village in the United Kingdom, although recently one has closed indefinitely and another was converted into a restaurant. The remaining pubs are: the Oddfellows Arms, the Angel, the Griffin, the Bell, and the Fancott Arms (which lies about a mile outside the village centre). The former pubs are the Nag's Head (which was demolished to make way for housing), the Sow and Pigs (closed in 2011 and converted into a dentist), the Red Lion (which turned into Ritzy Bar in 2011 but closed in 2014 and converted to housing in 2017) and the Bedford Arms (closed in February 2012 and awaiting reuse). The old town hall building was turned into a micropub, the Cuckoo, which opened in 2014.
