| Beer in consistently good form but agree with other users that the welcome can seem a little frosty if you're not one of the five or six regular old duffers at the front bar. A decent 'town centre' location and I'm told the food is good. Good selection of music on the jukebox and a decent, if a little tatty, pub for a quiet drink on one's own. Nothing special, though. the.inspector - 6 Sep 2011 17:07 |
| Not too bad, reasonably priced and drinkable Eagle IPA, and as all the review say ideal for the station! (It actually backs onto the platform) jfrebrycn - 30 Oct 2010 15:11 |
| Average kind of bar and lounge set up. Only Eagle IPA on handpump, which was pretty insipid if just about drinkable. It's main selling point is it's handy for the station and that's about it. Staff & Punters seemed freindly enough though. Snarling_Mallard - 31 Mar 2010 23:27 |
| Average Charles Wells pub round the corner from Flitwick station. A handsome Victorian building houses separate front and back bars - rather a local ambience inside, and not necessarily in a good way. Has a beer garden which is rather spoilt by being yards from the train tracks with expresses rattling past. The Youngs was in reasonable form on my visit, although towards the end it seemed to have turned. grecian - 5 Jul 2009 19:12 |
| Walking past the front of the pub, I see that it is a Charles Wells house with an Eagle IPA handpump visible through the window. Finding the door at the side, I entered what turned out to be the lounge bar at the back which had another handpump - this time Youngs 'ordinary'. Asked for a pint of IPA. Barmaid responded: "do you want a pint of Youngs?" I said no thanks, but I wouldn't mind a pint of IPA like I just asked for. The Eagle turned out to be fairly indifferent, so perhaps I should have had the Youngs after all... Strange place, with a weird mix of background music, but very handy for Flitwick station. rpadam - 11 Mar 2009 23:04 |
