About This Pub

Ah, The Peartree Bridge Inn – it's one of those places in Milton Keynes that feels like a reliable old friend, you know? They've got this great lineup of food that's spot on for a casual get-together, with their stone-baked pizzas made from fresh dough and those classic carvery roasts that are perfect for a Sunday unwind. The deals are brilliant too, like half-price pizzas or cocktails for a tenner, and it's all so affordable, which makes it ideal for popping in with the family or mates after a long week. The staff really shine here; from what I've seen in the reviews, folks like Debbie and Kate go above and beyond to make sure everyone's enjoying themselves, adding that personal touch that turns a simple meal into a proper treat. On the downside, it's a shame to hear that the place has lost a bit of its sparkle over the years – some have mentioned it's looking a tad worn out, and there are mixed feelings about whether the food and service are as consistent as they once were. Still, with a solid 4.0 rating overall, it's worth giving it a try for a relaxed evening out, just keep in mind it might not be the flashiest spot on the block anymore. All in all, it's a balanced choice for anyone after good grub and a chat, but maybe plan for a weekday visit to catch it at its best.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • Their pizzas and carvery dishes are spot on – fresh, flavoursome, and great value, especially with all those daily deals on offer.
  • It's a proper family-friendly spot with plenty of options for veggies and vegans, plus fun rewards through their app.
  • They've got a warm, welcoming atmosphere and even support local charities, which is a nice touch for the community.
Cons
  • Some areas seem to have gone a bit downhill over time, with a few folks noticing wear and tear that takes away from the experience.
  • The quality can feel inconsistent, as it's not always hitting the high notes like it used to based on what I've heard.
  • With so many reviews, it's clear not every visit is perfect, and you might catch a off day with the service or food.

I have to say Debbie behind the bar really make the experience that much more pleasurable. She is so attentive and lovely to my children. They always enjoy seeing her. So thank you so much for a great experience and I look forward to our next visit.

Overall this place use to be better, I would struggle to give this place beyond a 2 star rating though in it’s current state and condition. It’s a been a place my family been coming for many of years and yeah personally as times gone on seen huge decline in the restaurant itself. Obviously that don’t mean it’s always bad recently because some days you come and it can be good but on 90% of recent occasions it’s not been good and been below par. Yesterday was celebrating a family birthday and food was disappointing to say the very least. Peas, were certainly not fresh and been under hot plate for too long, potatoes were good actually, stuffing was alright but everything else barring the gravy, cranberry sauce and horseradish were really just disappointing. Had a bit of all three meats, turkey, gammon and beef, also paid £1.49 extra for 4 carverys which would include pigs in blankets and these weren’t great despite the extortionate price and furthermore only was given 3 tiny sausages which were like them party sausage and they was overcooked! In terms of the person who served me, she did a good job but I also seeing one of staff members just recording for at least a good 10 minutes the Christmas decorations. I mean to me that’s speaks volumes where this establishment is at, more interests in making maybe a TikTok post rather then getting the food quality correct. I asked for some of the turkey skin but needless was I realize none the wiser it was burnt to a cinder!! Now it’s meant to be crisp not cremated! I’m not a big Carvery goer and ultimately I would definitely not recommend Stonehouse to a friend. Not sure I wouldn’t even recommend it to my worst enemy. That’s how poor it is. Also the portion sizes of meat they give you is ridiculously small compared to what it use to be and small compared to what the main rival does Toby Carvery.

Peartree Bridge Inn Stonehouse in Milton Keynes is the perfect spot for a hearty meal if you're after good quality, no-nonsense food. The menu might not be fancy, but it delivers exactly what you want—wholesome, well-cooked dishes that satisfy. Whether you're craving a classic pub meal like fish and chips, a juicy burger, or a comforting pizza, you'll find something for everyone here. The portions are generous, and the food always comes out hot and fresh. The range of options is solid, offering something for all tastes. For example, the mixed grill is a popular choice, packed with well-cooked meats, or you can opt for a lighter chicken Caesar salad if you’re after something more refreshing. They also have a nice variety of pizzas, with toppings like BBQ chicken or margherita, which are perfect for sharing. The drinks menu is equally appealing, featuring affordable beers, wines, and soft drinks that pair nicely with your meal. One of the highlights of dining at Peartree Bridge Inn is the staff. They’re friendly, attentive, and always make sure you’re well taken care of. You feel genuinely welcomed every time you walk through the door, and the service is quick without feeling rushed. What’s also great is the price. You won’t break the bank eating here—most mains are priced around £10-£12, making it a great spot for families or a casual night out with friends. With its relaxing location next to the marina, you can enjoy your meal with a lovely view, making it a great spot for a lazy afternoon or a peaceful dinner. I’ll definitely be back for their Sunday roast for sure—it's one of the best value meals around, with all the trimmings!
