Dunstable regained some ground on the hosts with a goal of their own on 28 minutes from Dan Lidden but it proved to be little more than a consolation.
The visitors improved after the break and looked set to keep the deficit to just two goals when Jimmy Warner popped up to wrap up proceedings with a fourth for Town 25 minutes from time.
