The White Horse, Leighton Buzzard
In actual fact The White Horse reopened as a no-smoking pub BEFORE the ban came in. Not that Chazie699 would be interested in facts, judging by his previous comments.

"Anonymous" must have been very unlucky, I've never had a bad pint in this pub since the new landlord took over.

As I'm late middle aged, middle class, well behaved and reasonably well-off, I would assume I'm the kind of patron The Hunt would want to attract. If I'm not posh enough for them, too bad.
That's my last word on the subject.

Strange you should all come down so heavily on me as my comments about The Hunt have all been either pretty mild, or actually positive. (You might like to look back to my original comment in Feb.2004).
I used to enjoy my visits but if I'm not made to feel welcome I WILL go elsewhere. That's The Hunt's loss, not mine.

The idea that I should pay 30p a pint more in a dull, slightly shabby bar in Linslade than I do in my lunchtime haunts in the City is what's ridiculous.
At least the landlord of the "seedy" White Horse knows how to be polite to his customers and how to look after his beer. That's why he scores 6.5 on this site while The Hunt scores 1.1
Yes, the two establishments certainly are in different leagues.

So I said I would give it another chance, and to be fair we found it fine for a quiet drink on a Saturday night. Beer was good but VERY exprensive. Staff polite but grim looking. The infamous landlord was only seen once when he wandered through the bar weilding a spade!
Still prefer the White Horse though.

Apart from the general atmosphere of a funeral parlour, the overpriced and often poor beer, the landlord who treats you like dirt, it's a great place.
However, i'm always ready to give the place another chance. Some old Leightonians who haven't been in The Hunt for years are visiting next week. We'll see what they make of the place.

Speaking as the person who gave this pub a favourable rating back in February 2004, I would like to say that since then it has deteriorated so badly I will never go back again.

Good pub, but �3.30 for a pint of HSB?
