    This great pub is not in Luton proper, but Darley Hall. It is within just a mile of Luton airport…read moreand town, but its location set among the rolling hills just east of the airport makes it feel like a million miles away from anywhere. The food is amazing, the best pub food we have found in our 6 years in the UK so far. The menu changes regularly and includes many hearty, slightly chefy takes on classic English fare. A great rotation of real ales on tap as well. We've been back there several times since or first visit back in 2009, and the food and service has always been consistent, which is what separates a great pub from a good pub. I would strongly encourage anyone reading this to give this pub a try. It isn't a chain and is really trying hard to give locals really good food at a decent price. There is another Fox pub on the main road between Harpenden and Luton, but if you are looking for a review of that one, I can tell you the Darley Hall Fox blows that one away for quality and value, so take the extra few minutes to find this slightly hidden gem in the countryside behind the airport.

    I dont even want to give this pub a star, however, I will give it one for the young girl who served…read moreus. My family arrived at 12.15 on Sunday having read the reviews on the atmosphere and quality of food. We hoped to have a relaxed lunch before setting back to our respective homes, in different parts of the country each journey being between 3 and 5 hours. The pub had a real fire but with the guard in front of it the dining room did not benefit from the heat. We ordered the meals with starters and mains, the starters took about 15 to 20 minutes to arrive, and were ok however, my brother had to ask for more bread to eat his pate with. 1 hour later cold and hungry and on the verge of getting up to go our main meals arrived (Sunday roasts). The chicken breasts were described as cooked in foil and covered in a sauce the chicken breasts were not covered in a sauce and were totally dry, the roast beef were thick slices and a good portion but as tough as old boot, the potatoes were out of a frozen packet as were the vegetables. The meals were cold with the gravy warming up what it covered, the yorkshire puddings were burnt and I mean black. It is the worst meal I have eaten in a years and if it was not due to time restraints we would have left them and walked.
