Big Smoke Taphouse & Kitchen, Luton

7/10 — Setting 7 Selection 7 Service 7 Food 7 Value 7 Overall 7

Taproom in departures of Luton Airport once through security. It's nothing special as far a taprooms go, but of course it's a good space to kill a half hour or more in a area with very sparse craft beer options . I've been a few times now, always able to find something I've not had before. They've a few stools at the bar in a reasonable sized restaurant, which a extra larger space in the centre of the walkway.
