202 Sat 14/10/17: The Black Horse, Luton

Beer: Leighton Buzzard Brewery Narrow Gauge 3.9%

Unlike the last couple of years at The English Rose there are, mercifully, no Stevenage fans in this pub. I daresay the majority are fine, but the little band of noisy youths who chose to grace our erstwhile pre-match watering hole in High Town two years running were skin crawlingly embarrassing.

The music in The Black Horse tends on the “too bloody loud for a Saturday afternoon”. Michael bloody Jackson… turn it bloody off. They don’t, but they do decrease the volume a little after a while, which makes the audio assault a little more bearable.

It’s a shame because, apart from that – this is a good pub, and there are way too few of them, especially to cater for the pre-match football following. We decide that, if we ran this pub, we’d make it far quieter… and possibly get rid of the pool table.
