House Of Chicken

Verified
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.

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 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.

  • 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

Old Beams is a real gem of a pub in Milton Keynes, offering a warm, welcoming vibe with cracking food and service that makes you want to linger over a pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, with those historic wooden beams, cosy log fires, and a lovely garden for alfresco dining when the weather's nice.
  • The food is spot on – think delicious Sunday roasts, daily specials, and a great selection of real ales, wines, and beers that really hit the spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • A couple of folks mentioned it as good rather than outstanding, so if you're after something truly exceptional, it might not blow you away every time.
  • It's tucked away in Shenley Lodge, which is lovely but could feel a bit out of the way if you're not local, potentially making it tricky for a spontaneous stop.

The Barge is a charming country pub in Milton Keynes with top-notch food, friendly service, and a cosy vibe that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.

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
What's Great
  • 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.

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
  • It's a bit of a shame there's no website listed, which might make it tricky to check the menu or events in advance.
  • The place seems geared towards sports fans, so if you're after a quiet, relaxed setting, it might feel a tad overwhelming at times.

The Barn in Milton Keynes is a warm and welcoming pub that's spot on for affordable grub and friendly service, though it's not without the odd hiccup with food consistency.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and really go the extra mile to make you feel at home, like sorting out a last-minute spot for a big group or decorating a table for a special occasion.
  • They've got some cracking deals on offer, such as the daytime lunch with eight mains under £8, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly meal without skimping on taste.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be a bit inconsistent at times, like when someone ends up with a tough steak that doesn't live up to expectations, even if they replace it.
  • The pudding menu doesn't have a huge selection, which might leave you wanting more choices if you're after something sweet to round off your meal.

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.

Sportsmens Rest is a welcoming pub in Milton Keynes that's ideal for sports fans and casual socialising, with friendly service and affordable drinks, but it has a few niggles like outdated furniture and noisy Friday nights.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home, always going the extra mile to help out.
  • It's a brilliant spot for watching sports on large screens, perfect for catching the game with your mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The furniture could do with an update; it's a bit worn out and could make the place feel dated.
  • Fridays get too noisy with Karaoke and loud music, making it tough to have a proper chat or relax.

Pros and Cons

Areas for Improvement

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.
