When I visited last summer, someone had attacked the full sized cork effegy of Robin Hood with a purple felt tip. Said vandal must be partially illiterate as "West Ham is a poof" does not make grammatical sense. The bar staff were efficient and turned a blind eye when Wellsy was sick in the juke box. Would defo return... If only to retrieve the shoe I left in the far urinal.

Mr Bean is obviously a salad.
Awful pub with worse food and horrible decor.
They tried a re-furb' back in the autumn of '99 but at the end of the day, you cant polish a turd.

I went here in the January of 2004 and can honestly say I didnt see a single bear.

Would agree with Ian in that the pub is very clean, worryingly so. I witnessed one of his colleagues take a swipe at a patron with an empty bottle of WolfBlass for dropping a pistachio shell on the floor.....

Lovely establishment, my singular visit only marred by the fact i had a dodgy pickled egg and spent the best part of the evening on the comode. Bar manager looks like Arthur Albiston and hales from Carshalton, he has some wonderful anecdotes from his time as quartermaster in the Mid-Glamorgan division of the TA. They have a wonderful local brewed drop called Giggling Beaver but beware of the low beams towards the rear, my friend Wellsy gave himself concusion in '94.

I remember said incident! There was a fancy dress party in the Conservative club opposite. My friend Swifty caused a right rumpus because he went as Hitler.

Superb watering hole. Spent a wonderful night here in '92 on the way back from QPR Vs Chesterfield. They have a bar skittles table dating from the second world war. The cranberry and monterey jack bloomer has to be experienced and the guest ale was a South African number called Schwarzkruger. They also sell Wolfblass by the glass or bottle.

I saw Jeremy Beadle in here in 1997. He was eating a bag of mini cheddars.

The Ashwell Arms, Leighton Buzzard
Has changed dramatically since the below. A full re-structure and refurbish has opened the main bar area up in to two seperate saloons. One of which contains a pool table and the other a darts board, and Im sure we would give you boys a pasting anytime if your up for it Nige! Saturday early afternoons hosts the Leighton QPR supporters meetings (Buzzard Hoops) and the evening is usually full of drunken revelry should we extract 3 points from our opposition. Worth a cheeky pint of Wagglefoot if your in the area.

The Swan Hotel, Leighton Buzzard
Great stop off pub between the two ends of town. As its a hotel the staff are consistantly changed and its difficult to build up a rapport. Excellent fruity's and jukebox don't be alarmed by the locals who frequent the far corner, regailing all and sundry with stories of QPR.

Suffolk Punch, Milton Keynes
Great pub on a Friday afternoon if you fancy seeing off 20 fags with a couple of strong continental lagers and a game of billiards. Almost had a fight here during France Vs Croatia WC '98. Food is standard but cheap, Monday to Thursday is the "3 meals for two quid" promotion.
