Once a tenancy, The Lilley Arms is now a 'free house' offering a range of wines, gins, other spirits, and an ever-changing range of real ale. Our main priority is to serve home-cooked food at reasonable prices. We can also cater for vegetarians or most other dietary requirements. We open at 12 pm from Monday to Sunday for drinks. We finish lunch at 2 pm during the week, 2:30 pm on a Saturday and 3 pm on a Sunday. Usually, Sundays are one of our busiest days due to our popular roast dinners, so it is advisable to book in advance. In the evenings we serve food from 7 pm to 9 pm, but unfortunately not on Tuesdays and Sundays. Pre-booking for dinner is essential. We do, however, cater for any type of occasion, from christenings to funerals, at any point of the day. You can choose from a selection of venues to suit your requirements. Right from a small, cosy snug to a converted barn complete with its own bar and a garden that can accommodate up to 80 people, we have it here.
We offer accommodation in three en-suite bed and breakfast rooms at reasonable prices which are perfect for walkers, bird watchers, holidays or business trips. There are tables in the beautiful garden during the summer and lovely fires in the bar and restaurant during the winter. We welcome everyone including dog owners. Dogs can come inside the bar or the garden but aren't allowed to enter the food areas. However, you can sit in the snug or bar with them to have your food. The parking is in the courtyard. You will also find a lot of free space out in the front of the pub and it is only 2 miles away from Luton, and just off the A505 on the way to Hitchin. It is the perfect place to come and enjoy yourself.
