The Dolphin's a cracking little pub in Milton Keynes, with a friendly atmosphere, top-notch carvery, and plenty of options for events – it's got that cosy, welcoming charm that'll make you want to return.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
- The Dolphin has a really warm, family-run vibe that's perfect for a relaxed get-together with mates or the whole family, and they're even dog-friendly which is brilliant for us pet owners.
- Their traditional English food is spot on, especially that Sunday carvery – reviewers rave about it being the best in Milton Keynes, with delicious, hot meals and plenty of choices.
- Prices are nice and reasonable, so you can enjoy a good pint or a meal without breaking the bank, making it a great spot for everyday visits.
- They've got a fantastic function room for up to 100 people, ideal for birthdays or wakes, plus live entertainment like karaoke and darts to keep things lively.
- The staff are incredibly welcoming and go the extra mile, like providing nibbles or flowers for events, which really adds to the homely feel.
Areas for Improvement
- There aren't any specific operating hours listed, which could make it a bit of a faff to plan a visit and might mean missing out if it's unexpectedly closed.
- It's tucked away in Bletchley, so if you're not local to Milton Keynes, it might not be the easiest place to pop into for a quick one.
- While the reviews are mostly glowing, a couple mention not sampling the food, so it could vary depending on what you're after – though that hasn't put anyone off much.
