A visit to this delightful micropub is a must. The landlady Tanya is so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely evening chatting to Tanya and some of the locals. The beers on offer are excellent too, a range to suit all tastes. Thank you for making our visit to Leighton Buzzard extra special. We will be recommending you to all our friends who head this way.

Superb friendly little micropub. At least one cask ale always local, plus usually something from further afield. Vinyl night on a Wednesday and sometimes chilli nights, etc. Pleasant courtyard out the back

Dark and a bit dingy tried to make conversation with man behind the bar ( think he was the guv’nor) not much coming back from him beer could of been in better condition but may have been at end of cask lack of atmosphere in in general

As good as ever. New landlord Mark also brews fine ales at the Leighton Buzzard brewery. Some of these are now available along with a few guest beers and ciders. I particularly liked the LB Bavarian Dragon.

I've been wanting to visit the Bald Buzzard for years!! Finally got around to it last night. Well worth the wait. A lovely little pub. It's all about the Craft Ales that Phil the Landlord has selected from different regions across the UK. Loads of different types... some hoppy, some malty, some cittrusy, and stouts. Leighton Buzzard Brewery beers too. Definitely coming back.

Great place for a pint and easily the best spot in Leighton buzzard for craft beer. Phil is a friendly character and the bald buzzard is very welcoming. Seating outside for two people per table and a saloon type railway themed bar inside. Ales change every couple of days or so, so there’s always a new selection which is posted on social media regularly. As well as ale, you can get cider, whisky, wine and gin here too. My new local!

Do you like beer? If so, this is the place for you. The BB offers expertly curated craft ales for the discerning palette and great company. If beer isn't your thing, don't panic... There's also cider and spirits on offer. Bar snacks are available too. A great central location means you're never too far away from the best pint in Leighton Buzzard, and it's well worth the trip

Can't decide whether this is the best pub in Leighton, or another, larger one at the other end of town. It all depends what you want. Lively, spacious, with a large garden, or quiet, cosy, and a small courtyard? I come here for the beers. Oakham beers are usually well represented here, and that's fine by me. Small, intimate setting, indeed it's not much bigger than your average lounge/diner. Beers on racks in a cool room are always top quality, the Bald Buzzard wouldn't serve them if they weren't. Nice sun trap courtyard outside at the back. Range has recently been expanded to include craft brewed beers in cans/bottles to tempt one even further. Very reasonably priced soft drinks also, which is a nice touch when those from outside the area visit with a driver. Oh, and there's a record shop two doors away 😎😎

Small friendly ale bar with a modest but ever rotating and great selection of ales from cask, and a few regular bottles but all good choices. Ales are beautifully kept.

Our first Sunday Lunch but not our first meal here but what a really nice surprise to have a ‘proper’ roast dinner served by lovely friendly staff and landlady. Plenty of meat and was given the choice to have one or both choices on our plate. Crispy roast potatoes, fresh veg (not out of the freezer like so many others offer) and lashings of gravy. We even got offered seconds on the veg and stuffing balls! We ate at 2pm and there wasn’t many others eating although there may have been earlier diners but the atmosphere was still very friendly and inviting. This won’t be our last Sunday roast and I hope this review will help make others choose this little gem of a proper pub offering good quality and quantity fayre.
