The Red Lion, Leighton Buzzard
Went to the Lion for the 1st time in 10 years and immediately saw Ginny behind the bar. we stared at each other for about 5 seconds and recognised each other straight away. It was if I had never been away from the pub. Its always been a great pub and still is. The welcome you get is second to none and the cask ales are a treat. Definately one pub that anyone should visit.

I dont understand how somebody can think that a personal vendetta is being carried out against the landlord. This site I feel is one where people can make comments about the pub and the surroundings, to which many people have contributed. From the comments I have seen on here, the main issues raised are that the welcome and the atmosphere are non existent. That is a reflection on the Landlord. I have visited many pubs in and around town with my business associates and no matter where we go, the welcome is the mosr important thing that draws you back or makes you want to walk away. suffice to say that when you walk in to the Hunt Hotel, the welcome is, for want of better words, a glaring look and a note of suspicion from the landlord. I am not a 20 year old dunk that wants to go out and cause trouble on a friday night, I wish to drink somewhere, in a comfortable surrounding without that sort of element about, but I also want to feel comfortable when I am out for a drink with my wife and friends. Alas one does not feel comfortable when eyes are piercing the back of ones head, so If it is taken to be a personal vendetta by a friend or customer who knows the landlord, then I would suggest that the individual should frequent other public houses and sample the atmosphere and welcome they would receive in other pubs, then draw conclusions from what a number of people on this site have said about this establishment.18 comments cant be from people who are out to cause a vendetta.....sorry but I feel I had to say this

The White Horse, Leighton Buzzard
delightful little pub !!! I felt welcomed as soon as I went in. i would imagine that the locals are the first ones who saw me and my grandmother walking in yesterday, all said hi to me and went about their own business. I did strike up a conversation within 2 minutes of being there with a really talkative chap (He couldnt stop going on about Queens Park Rangers) but that was the only down point to my visit. Otherwise he was a decent chap. " Real fires going and it was clean, as were the toilets and even my grandmother said it was a "lovely Little Pub"
