Eight Belles, 28 Buckingham Rd, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 5HL

About This Pub

You know, I had a great time at Eight Belles in Milton Keynes the other day, and it's exactly the sort of place you'd recommend for a proper pub experience. The staff are just lovely, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which really adds to the welcoming atmosphere. The food's a highlight too – proper British classics like Sunday roasts and baked goods that hit the spot without breaking the bank, and it's spot on for families or groups wanting something straightforward and enjoyable. They're well set up for watching the footie or other sports, with plenty of screens and that buzz in the air. Plus, the beer garden's a treat if you're with the dog on a nice day. On the flip side, the hours can be a tad unpredictable, so it's best to double-check before popping over, and if you're after somewhere a bit more upscale or contemporary, it might not quite fit the bill. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint and meal with friends – honest, unpretentious, and full of that community spirit we all love.

Pros and Cons

We just popped in with the dogs for a lunchtime bite and drink Would describe the Eight Belles as a traditional pub. Not one of these plastic pubs that seem to be everywhere these days Food was good, well presented, quick service and great price. Staff were welcoming and really friendly. For a local pub this is highly recommended
