The Glider in Central Bedfordshire

Estate pub brought back to life & serves three decent real ales & food + the ususal suspects ie pool, darts & tv sports

Lovely Sunday roast and very friendly owners

A really warm welcome and a proper local, community pub

Great fun, live music, good company.

Good landlord who warm and welcoming. Runs darts and pool teams. Plenty of banter.

Really friendly local. There is a food menu but sadly doesn't yet cater for gluten intolerant vegetarians so I can't mark them for that. Dog friendly, Rupert the manager always has a treat ready when he's working. Friendly, helpful bar staff. This pub has a great vibe and has various events. Quiz nights, Sunday meat raffle, DJ's etc.

A good pub for a drink after work. Friendly pub 🍻

Friendly welcoming atmosphere looking forward to going again 😊

Grate people here they have run the pub for a long time now, really good people, dogs welcome, the lanlord of this pub has made the pub excelent 👍

BEST PUB QUIZ NIGHT IN DUNSTABLE The last Sunday in the month, the Glider hosts the best pub quiz night I've ever been to. It's not just some general knowledge questions and a picture puzzle. The landlord and his wife, have pulled-out all the stops, and included elements from various British game shows as well as something I'd never seen before called Stand-up Bingo. The Glider serves a much better range of beers than I've seen in most pubs. They had 4 or 5 ales on last night, including Wainwright's and a lovely creamy Pale Ale, which I drank all evening. The Quiz starts at 8:30pm and finishes by 10:30pm, so even if you're working the on Monday, you can get home well before 11pm. But it really is two hours of fun, even without the landlord's unintentional intermittent microphone hindering nearly every question! As well as 4 rounds of questions and a picture puzzle, Stand-up Bingo, and a raffle; there's Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right and Open The Box. Each element costs £1 per person, £6 in total, with £1 from each participant going towards their charity to sponsor Guide Dogs for the Blind. Last Night's Stand-up Bingo winner won £25. None of the three contestants won Play Your Cards Right, so the jackpot of £45 rolls over to the next last Sunday in the month. At £1 a go, it's going to be at least £80 next time. There's £60 rolling over in the Box too. The landlord said, once these rollovers get to £100+, he'll keep drawing tickets for contestants, until someone wins them. They don't do this quiz each week because there's so much packed into them. Besides the pub is busy most weekday evenings with two Pool and two Darts teams playing fixtures and parties often booked for Fridays and Saturdays. So, if you like a good pub quiz, don't miss the best in Dunstable on the last Sunday of the month at the Glider, showing exactly what a great community pub should be.

Lovely roast dinner. Thanks for a lovely experience. Cheers guys at the Glider😁😁

Decent ale ,friendly owner and customers. Does a great roast on a Sunday

Nice cozy pub all the sports on every week!

Our Glider experience was superb like always. It is a family running business and everyone is going extra miles not just to accomodate you but to make your day. Many thanks guys for all you have done and for making us feeling special!

Just a rubbish old pub with a moody owner

From what I remember it was a good experience here, was quiet on the night, but was dog friendly. The Barman was great and helped with the dogs when they got thirsty or a little hungry.

We visited with our dogs and we felt so welcome. Other customers came over and made a fuss of the dogs and the manager bought some treats over for them, we really enjoyed our visit. This particularly sermed to be a pub for sports fans with some large tv's showing the football but this was not too much for people who don't like sport as there are lovely comfortable sofas and armchairs at the other end of the pub. We are local and will definitely be returning soon.

a couple of weeks ago, we went hiking in windy and rainy weather. We were all drenched and went to this pub for a rest. The host is so nice and warm, even having us nice warm tea without charge. It was so touching. I definitely recommend this pub and hope I can re-visit this soon.

Dropped in as we were passing by. It was my old stomping ground in the 80s/90s and was great reliving some good times. Landlord was a great guy and very welcoming. Definitely going back and taking my sons to show where their dad grew up and buy me a few drinks now they're old enough

Great pub on town estate. Really good facilities.

The landlord is so friendly, great food particularly Bacon and Brie sandwich for lunch.Fantastic company ,you cant go wrong!

Great pub has everything you would want. Shows all the sports has Bt sports and sky sports.Has plenty of places to sit. Has a great selection of beers,ales,ciders wines etc. The pub is Covid secure and always feel welcomed when having a quick pint.

It's a pub, nothing to complain about

Nice friendly pub popped down from Ipswich to see a friend was very warm and welcoming.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Old estate pub haunt of mine from 35+years ago, still showing signs of life , under new management ( think locals running it). Couple of real ales at a reasonable price & some old faces still frequenting it. Live football , pool table & darts with the odd live band & quiz. Dec 2k18 ...popped in 4a Xmas drink..they had st. Austells tribute, black sheeps blitzen & hardy & Hanson's Rocking Rudolph, all of which were good! (3-50 a pint)...also plenty of people eating Xmas/roast at £7-50 a pop....the food looked good & smelled good. A very nice Sunday afternoon ambience 4 an estate pub , well worth a visit..+ Xmas Eve entertainment & a quality covers band 4 £5 a ticket 31st December...well done the glider!! Since lockdown 2020 Rupert has made this pub a very popular estate pub ...3 real ales sharps doom , Atlantic pale & Marston's pedigree ...great condition....looking forward to a roast🤔...... Now had the roast & it was excellent!! Beef, chicken or salmon with occasionally lamb.....you ring up , book a time slot & your dinner is cooked to order....pukka 👍

Great place with friendly staff

Lovely Christmas dinner presented by helpful friendly staff.

everyone is so welcoming and friendly.... feels like you belong

Sadly only 1 real ale, hiwever the staff are friendly and they allow dogs.

Good pint, good seating, nice atmosphere.

Nice feel and good atmosphere, family friendly. Would make it my local if I lived in the area.

Fantastic pub staff are very friendly the landlord is a great guy have been coming to the pub for last six months 👍

Nice friendly pub. Clean, good prices, does sunday roasts. One of the few good pubs in Dunstable. Highly recommend.

I'm not a regular pub goer but this is my local pub, and over the past couple of years under new ownership it has taken on a lovely vibe, they do many themes across the week, Karaoke, Quizes, they have bands, charity events, Sunday Dinners, They have worked hard to turn this pub into a friendly welcoming place and IF I go anywhere now it's here.

Spent a fair amount of time in The Glider in 1989 and 1990 with friends who lived on Oldhill Down Rd. Loved it and would love to visit again.

Excellent real ales and friendly hosts and locals 10% off if over 60 or services civilian or otherwise

Had a beautiful Sunday roast at The Glider. Gorgous roast beef and all the trimmings. Very tasty. My veggie daughter had salmon. The hot apple pie was to die for. And the staff are so friendly especially the barman Dean and the landlord Rupert. I would definately recommend this family friendly pub.

Good community spirit and excellent beer. What's not to like?

A boozer that has had many managers. It is a relative new build, which is always a disadvantage as they lack character. But the beer is kept well and there is a range of snacks. There is a pool table and TVs. It seems that some attention is being made to incrementally improve the chairs and carpets.

So far a five 🌟 went in on a late Sunday afternoon , tables were reserved for a Sunday roast at 7.50 each which smelt really good as they came out , 3good real ales rocking Rudolph , britzen and tribute all very good quality , nice ambiance , Christmas party sat the 22nd of December and Christmas eve party tickets for Christmas Eve 5pounds only all round good pub

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly pub. Rupert the owner has really made the place special. Many entertainments such as quiz nights, DJs and singing.

good atmosphere, plenty of screen's for sports etc

Comfortable friendly environment.

Love the glider. A friendly local pub where we can jam and sing 😎👍🏻

Got charged £3.50 For a lemonade and glass of tap water. It's a good place to host live music.

Friendly clean good selection of beers and larger choice of ales

Great entertainment and environment

Nice friendly atmosphere inside, from the outside it may look dated and unwelcoming but inside was very nice. Well lit, nice layout, good selection of ale and spirits. Will be going back.

Great old fashioned pub been brought right up to date with friendly dynamic staff.

Great karaoke on a Wednesday night..

Fantastic Karaoke night, the value of singing together, old and young is invaluable... Lots of laughs and fun...

Absolutely amazing transformation.

Great traditional pub. Friendly landlord and staff. Good selection of beers/ales etc.

Nice little local pub with friendly staff

Friendly people, but needs a Google tour and an update
