This large two roomed community pub was reopened in July 2011 after a fire in the upstairs living accommodation caused considerable damage. There is a comfortable lounge with a large area available for diners, while the public bar has darts and pool to offer. There is also a large patio garden which is ideal for warmer weather. Good, reasonably priced, food is available. Pie night Tuesdays. Spanish food Fridays. Sunday carvery. Breakfasts served 9:30-1 Friday and Saturday with alcoholic drinks available from 11. Its ales and up to 10 ciders (some real ciders) are gravity dispensed in the tap room.

New local mother & daughter licensees took over in November 2025.

Historic Interest

The Carlton Arms first opened its doors in December 1959. Initially it was collaboration between Wells & Winch brewery (Biggleswade) and Whitbread. It was managed by Mr & Mrs Alan Davis.
