A warm and friendly pub. Plenty of local characters and good banter. Although it is a Hungry Horse, it has the local pub appeal and character. Staff are always friendly, and I always enjoy my visits. Big screens mean there is always a sport on the tele, but it doesn't rule. Cheers to Ellie and Dwayne🍻

Food was ok when we got the right order, drink came with ice even though asked for no ice when told server she snatched drink away saying ok, then the empty plates were just left on table for about 20 minutes even though clearly finished eventually a different server came and took them but original server I found quite rude. Will not be back.

Lovely pub grub! Visited on our way home after a darts event. Waited approx 15-20 mins for food as it was busy. Well worth the wait! We had a mixture of meals including The Gravy One, Double bacon cheeseburger and sizzling fajitas. All meals thoroughly enjoyed and staff that we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

Was great food at a great price! Lovely atmosphere, football games are shown, staff members are amazing and just super friendly family environment. Special shout out to Kayleigh for an amazing service! Will come back soon.

Absolutely fantastic pub. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of character. The food is outstanding — beautifully cooked, generous portions, and clearly made with care. Drinks selection is spot on, whether you’re after a proper pint, a great wine, or something a bit special. The staff really make the place: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help without being overbearing. It’s the kind of pub you can settle into — perfect for a relaxed drink, a long lunch, or a cosy evening with friends.

We went for the curry and a better for £8 on a Wednesday night. We booked but it wasn't busy. I get that it's only £8. Yet, the poppadoms were very chewy and the chicken in the curry was very chewy too. I don't think we do it again. The service was quick.

Amazing pub food was amazing the prices are average for a pub and the food was so tasty,family friendly, if you are in the area or looking for a nice place any occasion this is a top spot

We decided to come to this pub as it was my boyfriends birthday and we had been let down by a restaurant we were supposed to go to, we chose here because we are frequent visitors to the biscott mill (another greene king) in Luton and the service/food is always amazing so thought this would be the same. It started off ok, we placed our order and sat down. My boyfriends mum ordered 2 cokes with no ice at the table, one arrived with ice and one without, when she brought it up to the waitress she snatched it from the table and said ‘ok then’ and stormed off, we found this unnecessarily rude. When the mains arrived my boyfriend had asked for no crispy onions in his burger and it came with them in - this was taken back to the kitchen and replaced in about 5 minutes which was fine. The food was average, the gravy burger was nice. We finished our food and moved the plates to the end of the table, I wanted another drink but there was nobody around to ask so my boyfriends mum went to the bar to order me another drink, it was the same waitress as earlier on and she said she would take it to the table for us. We then went outside to the smoking area for about 10 minutes, when we came back in our empty plates were still sat on the table and there was no drink. We then spotted it just sat on the end of the bar with no staff members in sight, we had to go and get it from the bar ourselves -this wasn’t a massive issue but the pub was nearly empty and the waitress knew what table we were sat at. After about half an hour our plates were eventually cleared by a different person, when asked if our food was ok we genuinely didn’t know what to say as the whole experience had just been awful. No one asked us if we wanted any dessert so we just paid and left - after being let down by the previous restaurant and then the disappointing experience at this one, my boyfriend came away feeling deflated after his birthday meal had been tarnished. Im sure the service here can be lovely but this certainly didn’t reflect in our experience.
