A classic (and Classy) British pub with a modern twist on pub favorites, I went there with some friends we were visiting who live in Milton Keynes; what a treat. I wanted a cask ale on a pull, and they had three (I tried them all; oh, I was not driving).

The dinner was very, very good. It included classic pub fare along with modern dishes. Everyone enjoyed their dishes.

The service was excellent, fun, and attentive. The inn itself is very inviting and warm. It's a great place to meet some friends and chat.

I can't wait until we are back in the area; I will definitely make this a stop.

It was My 1st time here. It was really nice and chilled on a nice hot day. It was busy outside and quieter inside. Service was not table service so I had been waiting at the table for about 10 mins before going to retrieve a menu for myself. The portions of the food for myself coming from London did not resemble the price i personally felt like I get same or similar quality and larger portions in London so pricing for out of London I could not understand the reasoning behind it.
The food came promptly and the table was cleared promptly also. The dining area was clean and well looked after. I will come back however if I’m in in the area again
