Smith & Jones Victuallers, Dunstable, Bedfordshire

My wife and I used The Clipper early last Saturday evening. We had drinks and meals, and the service was excellent throughout. Staff were friendly and efficient, even coming to check if our meals and desserts were OK.

The premises were modern, smart, and clean, and the music on video screens was never intrusive.

The only surprise was how quiet the pub was - maybe people haven't discovered it yet!

Born & bred in Exmouth (Devon) I was greatly looking forward to the opening of The Clipper. Unfortunately, I moved away before it opened so last night was my first opportunity to drop in for a drink. My friend and I stood at the bar for several minutes unnotticed. A young lady in a black blouse came to the till directly in front of us, she did not make eye contact or acknowledge us. The pub was not busy but two young men were serving and unfortunately did not seem to realise that we had been waiting. My friend and I left without being served.
