Customer Review Summary

Sunday and Christmas roast dinners form the recurring centerpiece of visits here, with reviewers praising the shoulder of lamb, turkey dinner, and hand battered cod and chips, though the roasts themselves draw mixed verdicts, from lamb that "melted away from the bone" to one Christmas lunch described as tasting reheated with rock hard potatoes and parsnips. Close behind, several diners single out attentive, friendly staff and a warm atmosphere with oak beams and a garden area hosting live singers. Also mentioned favorably are the Baileys espresso martinis and a generous pate starter. The most persistent complaint is long waits, with one visit taking an hour and twenty minutes and another two hours for food that arrived cold or overcooked, alongside occasional order mistakes and understaffing on busy Sundays. One reviewer also describes finding a fly in their food, and another recounts a bar patron making an unsettling spiking remark. Despite this, many say they will return, with one party thanking named servers and booking again for the new year.

    “Went for a beer and some food, all good. Nice service. A good local. Shame didn't get to play poker on game night. There's also a full lineup of entertainment in the months ahead. All I can say is use it or lose it.”
  • Beverly Cornelius
    “Stopped here for a Sunday lunch without booking, the pub was busy and restaurant fully booked but plenty of lovely seating available in the bar. Greeted with a really warm welcome when ordering drinks from the bar by a lovely tattooed bearded bald chap who we remembered from our first visit a few months back because of his excellent character and customer service. The food was absolutely delicious, the roast Turkey dinner was exceptional as was the starters and desserts. Could not fault it at all. Also very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning!”
  • Tracy Haynes
    “This is the first time we have visited this lovely pub. We ordered the hand battered cod and chips, it was lovely, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The staff were lovely, and very polite. It is also has a lovely garden area and is also dog friendly, we will definitely be returning, we would definitely recommend visiting”

    “Had a wonderful birthday lunch with my best friend here, the food was delicious. James and Isla went above and beyond with service. Each time I’ve been here I’ve never had reason to fault it. Definitely recommend x”

    “Absolute little jem of a place, the history shows a place on this spot since Before Christ. Tucked away in the village of Charlton,near Dunstable this quaint beamed public house and restaurant is the perfect spot for a spot of lunch, full dinner,special occasion meal, or just a lazy afternoon drink. The food is fantastic and served in a timely manner fitting to cooked to order. Customer service excellent.”
