Can get to this pub from the house by bus, so after attending the recent Cider Festival we'll be taking full advantage of that fact! The festival was very good with loads of ciders to choose from.

I'll be back again soon to try the beers - although when we were there it seemed to be all the same types of beers mid-brown beers with not much of a difference in ABV - 3.8 to 4.2% (ish). Will keep an eye on the website and choose a good time to take advantage of stronger and/or darker beers.

That shouldn't be taken as a criticism by the way - I love all beers, but when out I like to mix it up a bit in what I drink.

Brilliant pub, would love to live in Henlow to take advantage more regularly, but it deserves a regular trek to remind you what a pub should be like! Since our last visit, the tables and chairs have been replaced and it gives a newer feel. There may be more refurbishment as scaffolding is up.

Today no less than 8 hand pumped ales on offer, and as others have said, the third of a pint taster glasses (you get 6) for £5 is a brilliant idea and lets you try nearly the whole board.

Now how much are houses in Henlow?

Visited this pub on a recent visit to my daughter who lives in the area.
As an avid real ale drinker, this pub ticks all the boxes. The six thirds of a pint on a tray for tasting is a great idea, and sensibly priced too. Tried every ale of ten that were on, mainly from small micros some of which were new to me, all in excellent condition. Good selection of cider but unfortunately on this visit no perry for my wife, think they had just run out.
The pub is well laid out with a nice outside area with skittles. Staff were friendly and welcoming and though we didn't eat, the food looked reasonably priced, typical pub fare pies, pizzas etc.
Howether this pub is all about the ales and has one numerous Camra awards, most recently Bedfordshire pub of the year 2011, which is how i became aware of it. Will most definately return, shame it is 80+ miles away from home. Check out the pub website for a mine of information and visit if you can, if you like your ale i would guarantee The Engineers Arms will not disappoint. Recommended 10/10

A good pub on a normal day, top pub during their Beer Festival. Wide range of beers of all styles, excellent pies and samosas. Jukebox a little loud if you're near a speaker. A worthwhile visit.
