Fantastic pub, best in the area by far!
Kevin and clair make everyone welcome. Lots of real ale always available 10 hand pumps, with new beers every week. What more could you ask for in a village pub. 10 out of 10 in my book, come and try it for yourself.

Wonderful atmosphere at this pub with a fantastic array of real ales and ciders to boot. What more could you ask for? Well worth a visit.Unassuming pub from the outside, but a great selection of real ales and ciders inside. During our visit last summer, we sat outside on the patio and enjoyed a really nice afternoon.

Popped in on Friday lunchtime after seeing that this pub was once more 'Under New Management'.

Good to see plenty of guest ales, an extensive wine list, a good value menu and a happier, livelier feel about the place. The cheerful barmaid certainly knew her stuff about the ales. My pint of 'Bitter & Twisted' was well kept and served.

After several recent changes of management hopefully this pub now has the landlord and lady it deserves.Visited this pub for the first time on Sunday. It has a warm friendly and homely feel helped by the friendly staff. A good range of beers and guest ales and lagers. I was tempted by the food and had a delicious shepherds pie.I will definately be going backI think this pub has just helped me to find my new favourite beer!
The atmosphere was great, the selection of beers was excellent, and the home cooked food was delicious. I wish the new Landlady and Landlord the best of luck and I will definitely be back again!

Very good honest pub. Very friendly and greeat selection of real alesEverards Tiger & Beacon, B&T Wembley Wobble, Milton Pegasus, Tring Royal Poacher– went, immediately replaced by Ramsbury Gold. Attractive woody look to the pub and warm ambience as you enter, bar to left of front room, wood tables&chairs, 3 tall barrels provide glass support & good view of plasma opposite bar (showing rugby ystdy), bookcase shelves either side give a homely feel. Further on to a second, smaller, room with a scattering of small tables and a tv quietly showing skysports news. Apparently gets busy pre-match if Luton are at home, but no sign of glass-backlog or anything when we arrived at 15:20. The £8.60 round (3pints) was the dearest of the day up here, and the exterior hanging baskets really need replanting to give a more cared-for look, but I very much liked the pub.This place has a very solid front door which makes it difficult to know whether it is actually open. However, once inside, what you get is a basic - somewhat old-fashioned - community pub (i.e. a thoroughly good thing). Had a pint of ?somebody's? Extra Pale Ale which looked slightly hazy but tasted just fine. Very handy for the station too.

still problems getting served if you turn up at the wrong time - ie noon on a saturday, be prepared to be 20th in a queue behind food and coffee orders - however a change of managment in the past few months has meant the real ales are more varied and much better Large sprawling Wetherspoons with loads of seating in rooms either side of the main bar. On both my visits it has seemed to suffer the usual JDW understaffing problems. Generally aiming at the lower end of the market, and catching them.
Full of pikeys and people trying to flog knock off gear.
The people outside seem to be mostly homeless drunks who have been kicked out of the night shelter.
Very rough and intimidating pub.

Lovely pub in delightful canalside setting with excellent moorings for visiting boaties. Pleasantly busy with good food and ale. Nice staff except for one blonde who should find alternative employment (I suspect she might be a parking warden doing a bit of moonlighting). She shot through about 1830 so it didn't spoil our evening. Yes, we will be back.Good food and excellent location. Could be a really good pub, but the staff and service lets it down - too slow and with attitude.Went in here for lunch today with my family of six and re-arranged ONE seat to accomodate us all round the table. I was immediately pounced upon by a jobsworth employee telling me very abruptly that by moving the said chair I was contravening the Health & Safety act.
Naturally we all left straight away for fear of the H&S police arriving.
Total loss to pub approx £110.
Ended up having a damn good ruby in Leighton Buzzard.

Brakspear Bitter, Moles Best, Sharp’s Atlantic IPA, Leeds Special. Curious layout with small L-shaped bar to rear, brick fireplace with wood burning grate to right, pool table to left, carpetted throughout. Good to see the handful of other customers keeping a concerned local eye on the tv (above entrance) as to the Luton score, but they surely cannot escape after a 30(!)pt deduction? Another dozen, or so, punters later gave the pub a friendly local flavour. Something of an oddity, but pretty good.When you think of real ale and pubs, Luton isn’t the town which readily springs to mind. It’s not alone of course but it’s reassuring that if you’re stuck, there’s somewhere to go and not too far from town. The Rose certainly fits, being about 5 minute’s walk from the rail station. The furnishings are testament to this place’s popularity and none the worse for that. Unusually for the area, Brakspear’s bitter is a regular with three interesting guest ales. A nice pub with award certificates to prove it and a good example of how a pub company owned place can hit the spot.Friendly community pub, obviously making a real effort to provide the good people of Luton with a decent and varied selection of proper beer. Had three winter ales on when I visited. Well worth the short walk from the station if you are passing through Luton.

Visited this pub on 13th March and was not dissapointed . Great beer and a really good atmosphere. The staff were terrific as wellWhat can i say this pub has it all!
Visit it with friends and love it!Great Beers, a good pub to settle in for the night.
The odd beer snob may be evidence but where else would they go.
Like it alot.
