I've lived in or around Leighton Buzzard most of my life, but for some reason had never visited this pub until very recently. Now I regret not having gone sooner because I really liked it - the ambience, the friendly staff, and of course the dog! Needless to say I'll be going back again soon.

Land lady is rude, obnoxious and an alcoholic from what I gathered. The other gentlemen at the bar are lovely though.

After meal next door seemed ok from outside. If you are 20 or younger it's great. Thankfully the staff dealt with the fight between 2 girls quickly and I'm sure there's good reason 2 men go into a cubical together. And the sweet smell of a Herby type must be the air fresheners!

This pub is my favourite pub in Leighton buzzard. The owner and staff are lovely, and they’ve put so much work into redoing and updating the inside and the outside of the pub. The new garden is beautiful and spacious. I highly recommend. Great atmosphere

I've been here a few times, playing with bands on a Saturday night. It's a nice place and they are very welcoming. It gets busy and takes a little while to get served but that could just be because every time I'm trying to get served, it's during the bands break.

Got tipped off about this place from a friend, and it was well worth the 20 minute drive. 2 large cod that were more like whales, with perfectly crisps batter. Large chips that were nice and soft and the perfect amount of salt and vinegar. Great value for money and really good fish and chips. We will be making that journey again regularly!

An impressive location, the main building is remarkable and imbued with history. Overall I found it just about fine but the service was distinctly split: there were cases of excellent service but also too many cases of naïve or inappropriate service. They have a lot of staff from a particular country who have different ideas about what is acceptable in an upmarket hotel, for instance: 1. The strange case of rolling huge round tables through the elegant bar area like they were giant wheels, all in front of guests or 2. Communication issues: you ask for a pint of something, they query the glass, together you agree on a pint glass after pointing to it and then they turn up with your drink having put it in a smaller glass and they make no comment about why! 3. Table service that's more like a child clearing a table at home than someone doing so in a formal hotel This all feeds a general sense of stretched finances and under investment about the venue. Sadly due to the weather, we could not explore the hotel grounds and nearby walks. I suspect the shortcomings may have seemed slightly less notable if we'd had that opportunity and been won over by the beauty of the grounds. If you are looking for somewhere in the area it might be worth considering but I doubt I will return, other venues seem more appealing.
