House Of Chicken
1st
4.8(693 reviews)
96/100
House Of Chicken in Milton Keynes is a hidden gem for authentic Portuguese fare, with top-notch food and a welcoming feel that keeps people coming back for more.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – think delicious, authentic Portuguese dishes with standout chicken that's crispy outside and juicy inside, plus amazing rice that folks rave about.
  • The owners are a delight; they're passionate about what they do and make everyone feel right at home, which really adds to the warm, family-like vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems like the place might be closed at the moment, which is a real pity given all the positive buzz – do check before you head over.
  • There's no website listed, so it's a bit tricky to look up the menu or get more details online, which could put a dampener on planning a visit.

The Chequers
2nd
4.7(235 reviews)
93/100
The Chequers is a gem of a pub in Milton Keynes, offering a brilliant vibe and affordable drinks, though it's more focused on pints and snacks than a full dining experience.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's warm, welcoming, and feels like a proper local hangout where you can relax and unwind.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers, including local ales, craft options, and even some fantastic Milton Keynes-sourced rums like that pineapple one, all at really reasonable prices with pints under £4.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit limited on the food front, with no proper meals on offer – just those pork pies and snacks, so if you're after a hearty dinner, you might need to look elsewhere.
  • The cask ale selection can be on the slim side at times, like only having a couple on tap, which might disappoint if you're a real ale enthusiast seeking more variety.

The Dolphin Pub
6th
4.6(301 reviews)
91/100
The Dolphin Pub in Milton Keynes is a cracking little spot with top-notch food and a cosy vibe, though it can get a tad crowded at peak times.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday roasts are an absolute delight – generous portions, perfectly cooked meats, and all the trimmings make for a proper hearty meal.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a light, airy feel inside and plenty of space that makes you want to linger over a drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • The bar seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis, so you might end up waiting if it's a busy evening.
  • Food service wraps up relatively early on weekdays, like 9pm, which could be a bit of a downer if you're out late.

Old Swan

4.4(379 reviews)
88/100
The Old Swan's a friendly local pub in Milton Keynes with solid grub and great service most of the time, but it's not without its off days when food falls short.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food can be absolutely spot on, especially the Sunday roasts – fresh ingredients and homemade touches like those proper Yorkshire puds make for a right tasty meal.
  • The staff are brilliant, always friendly and on point with service, making you feel welcome from the get-go.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss – some dishes turn up lukewarm or with processed ingredients that don't quite hit the mark.
  • Portions might feel a bit stingy, like being told exactly how many roast potatoes you're getting, which can leave you wanting more.

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.
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.

The Bull and Butcher is a lovely community pub in Milton Keynes with top-notch food and a warm welcome, though it's had a couple of off moments that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons

  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always smiling, super friendly, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is spot on; it's home-cooked with locally sourced ingredients, like that award-winning meat from Padbury, and the flavours are just proper hearty and satisfying.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been a few slip-ups with service, like getting a drink in a dirty glass or a flat lager, which can really put a dampener on things.
  • The garden area's been described as a bit of a mess in some visits, so it's not ideal if you're hoping for a tidy outdoor spot to relax.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • There have been a few gripes about food not being up to scratch sometimes, like dishes arriving cold or not fully cooked, which can put a dampener on things.
  • Service isn't always spot on, with some mentioning long waits for food or even extra items turning up on the bill that weren't ordered.

82/100
McCarthy's Sports Bar in Bletchley is a welcoming spot with a buzzing atmosphere, friendly service, and solid food and drink options that make it a go-to for a good time.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a sports bar, with a lively vibe, dart boards, and a pool table, perfect for a fun night out with mates.
Areas for Improvement

4.1(300 reviews)
82/100
The Swan Hotel is a welcoming spot in Milton Keynes for a casual drink, sports action, or a comfy budget stay – it's reliable and friendly without the frills.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on for a relaxed pint and catching the footy on one of their eight large screens – it's a proper sports bar vibe.
  • Rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer great value, especially if you're after a simple overnight stay near Bletchley Park or other local spots.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's a bit no-frills, so if you're hoping for something more upscale, it might feel a tad basic and underwhelming.
  • No clear operating hours listed, which could leave you scratching your head if you're planning a visit and it turns out to be shut.

82/100
Clocktower is a welcoming pub in Milton Keynes offering solid, affordable grub and a friendly vibe, great for live sports and casual meet-ups, though it has a few quirks like early food service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is consistently tasty and hits the spot, with standouts like the chicken katsu, wings, and build-your-own burgers that keep you coming back for more.
  • It's brilliant value for money – affordable prices mean you get a proper meal without breaking the bank, making it ideal for a casual night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • They finish serving food quite early, which can put a dampener on things if you're planning a late evening meal.
  • While the food's good, it might not be the most memorable or top-tier experience you've ever had, more reliable than extraordinary.

Furzton Lake is a charming waterside pub in Milton Keynes that's great for a relaxed outing with affordable eats and lovely views, though it has its occasional service and food niggles.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • Prices are really wallet-friendly, with deals like the £10 specials making it easy to enjoy a hearty meal without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement

4.0(2793 reviews)
80/100
The Peartree Bridge Inn is a cosy Milton Keynes gem for hearty pizzas, roasts, and friendly vibes, though it might not be quite as polished as before.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

Terrace Bar in Bletchley is a charming little spot with friendly vibes and outdoor perks, but watch out for the odd closure and higher prices.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, which makes for a lovely atmosphere.
  • It's a great spot for small gatherings, like up to 40 mates, especially with that BBQ option on sunny days.
Areas for Improvement
  • Drinks can be a bit pricey, so it might not be the best for those watching their wallet.
  • It sometimes closes unexpectedly without any notice, which can be a right nuisance if you've trekked out there.
