About This Pub
Ah, The White House in Luton – it's one of those classic Wetherspoons spots that you can't help but appreciate for its straightforward charm. I've heard from a few mates that it's spot on for a hearty breakfast; the meals are consistently good value and hit the spot, especially when you're grabbing a quick one before heading out. The app is an absolute winner too – it streamlines everything so you can just relax and enjoy your time without faffing about at the bar. The vibe is generally warm and inviting, particularly early in the day, which makes it feel like a proper local haunt. On the flip side, though, it's not without its flaws; some folks have mentioned the food quality dipping now and then, like overcooked bits that leave you wishing for a bit more care in the kitchen. And let's be honest, service can be a tad slow even when things aren't manic, which might frustrate you if you're in a rush. Plus, it does get a bit rowdy with the crowds sometimes, turning what could be a chilled session into something more hectic. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're after an inexpensive pint or meal, but I'd say it's best visited with realistic expectations – it's got that reliable Wetherspoons vibe, but like any pub, it has its off moments.

Food quality can be hit or miss, like when the bacon turns up a bit burnt, which is a shame after all those years of visits.
-

It’s probably one of the best pub in Luton central.
When you download the Whetherspoon application it gets much easier.. you just order with your table number and the team handles the rest for you.
Audience and the environment pretty fine.. what can be expected from Luton central tho. The pub kinda preserves its own quality and hence you’d enjoy it smoothly..
Not a best place for a first date but why not for second date 😁..
I like this place anyway
"Argyle on tour" I have been to more "Spoons " than can recall but I do know this is up their with the worst. Nothing redeeming and even the real ale "Doom bar" was not very good. It ramped up in the early evening with football fans and they stopped the ordering of food and drinks on the App as they didn't have sufficient staff.....not that they actually told anyone. Toilets, unlike most Spoons, was rank and disgusting. Sorry...no photos....nothing redeeming....at all !!
This pub has become my go-to spot for breakfast. The meals are consistently delicious and offer great value for money. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to start the day. Its convenient location adds to the appeal. Ordering through their app is a breeze, and the food always arrives promptly. Highly recommend!

For the past 6 years I am visiting this pub weakly, especially in the morning time for its breakfast.But I can see that the food quality lately is going down.I mean, this bacon is fully burnt,and is not the first time when I have it like this.
To the chef that is cooking the bacon,please do not burn it.
Apart of that I like this pub,service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great!
I don't have very high expectations for a Wetherspoons but sadly even the low bar wasn't reached on my visit to the White House when I went for a catch up with friends.
It wasn't massively busy but it took ages to get served, and food took far longer than usual to come, and multiple members of our party were forgotten about. When the food came a lot of it was not good at all-- charred pigs in blankets, poppadoms swimming in oil, sad chips.
Staff were OK, nobody particularly rude, just weren't bothered.
On the upside its a pretty well kept pub, it looks good for a Wetherspoons.
