Local record
History of this pub
The Brache was a purpose-built pub-restaurant on Osborne Road, about a mile from Luton Airport and close to Luton Airport Parkway station, with a Premier Inn attached. The land was leased to Whitbread by Vauxhall Motors for 99 years from August 1999, and the hotel grew over time, with permission granted in 2016 for 39 more bedrooms to bring it to 173 rooms. CAMRA described an open-plan restaurant seating 220 with a further 80 in the bar. It served its last meals on 10 September 2026.
The Lutonian’s August 2026 report records a 39-bedroom hotel extension approved in 2016 and a current hotel total of 173 rooms. It does not confirm the restaurant building’s future after the 10 September closure.
