The Bricklayers Arms is a haven for real ale drinkers in South Bedfordshire, well located near the railway station in the characterful Victorian Hightown area. Thankfully reopened after COVID, the range of real ales is still second to none, served up in a very traditional setting. This pub is very much ‘wet led’ and is ideal if you are a lover of real ale or want to meet for drinks. Also used regularly by Luton Town... View all feedback.
What Relax18960 doesn't like about Bricklayers Arms:
An unpleasant landlady ruined our experience at this restaurant, leaving us questioning how the management and staff are able to work with her. It is clear that there are difficulties in running the establishment. Unfortunately, we will not be continuing to support this pub. It is no surprise that pubs are forced to close down so frequently.

The Bricklayers Arms is a haven for real ale drinkers in South Bedfordshire, well located near the railway station in the characterful Victorian Hightown area. Thankfully reopened after COVID, the range of real ales is still second to none, served up in a very traditional setting. This pub is very much ‘wet led’ and is ideal if you are a lover of real ale or want to meet for drinks. Also used regularly by Luton Town supporters and football is shown on large screens when it is played. A well recommended real ale pub.
A really lively, vibrant night enhanced by the wide selection of beers and spirits on offer. The cientelle is as diverse as Luton itself. Proper party atmosphere, added to by the visit of a large group from the Hatters Supporters Club of Scandinavia. Only downside was a bunch of misogynistic mail-menopausal men at the barrel by the door. Couldn't cope when they were checked by the landlady. Obviously not regulars or they'd know she has successfully run this pub for 35 years.
All four of us tried the set lunch, which on the whole was tasty and well presented. The starters were good and so was the calves liver main course but I was disappointed that it only came with mashed potatoes and no other vegetables. My husband enjoyed the creme brulee but it was not light enough and too sweet for me. Our friends enjoyed their starters too and fish dish that they had. The staff were very pleasant and efficient and even warned us when there seemed to be a delay after the starter. However the delay was welcome as the rather large starter was quite filling..
This is a lovely traditional pub with a nice variety of ales and a small selection of sandwiches. The service is friendly and welcoming. It was the highlight of our visit to Luton Town FC. We enjoyed it so much that we stopped by again on our way back to the station.
Our meal was perfect. The starters ' selection was varied; My smoked fish platter and the scallops had by the other members of my party were as near perfect as possible. Our mains were exceptional. Cooked well, presented well and the serving staff did very well too. The puddings sticky toffee and something called a coconut bounty were oh so naughty but oh so nice. Actually 'nice ' does not do them justice. The cheese and biscuit option was good too. Fresh cheese that was neither dry nor too cold.. One small point, we were in a corner and, at first, until I sprayed a little perfume just above it we were aware that it needed a dose of 'shake and vac '. Soon though, the aroma of the food ensured that this faded.
