A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The Picture House is a great value, family-friendly pub in the centre of Leighton Buzzard. We offer great value food from breakfast to dinner, buffets to sit-down menus. We show all sporting events from football and rugby to the NFL; whatever the guests favourite sport, we\'ll be showing it!
