We just loved this venue.
Clean tidy , lovely food, and was good value.
The toilets were the best I'd used in a very long while. Spacious , privacy panels in the urinal section , and we're in clean and well maintained condition.
The only minor observation was the door entering the gents was quite narrow to enter .
I assume there were separate disabled toilets else where in the premises as you will struggle to get in with a wheelchair.. otherwise a really lovely place and the app worked well for ordering food and drinks.

Every time I visit MK I go there for breakfast, sometimes even for lunch. It's tasty, it's not expensive and the staff is very friendly.

The food was nice and hot and well cooked, service was behind and slightly poor quality but they did seem over run and understaffed!!! I felt extremely uncomfortable here people on more than 3 different tables kept staring at myself and family!!! Would only come back as food was well cooked and hot

We visited The Moon Under Water in June 2023. The pub is reasonably sized with a large seating area at the front and extends into the Xscape complex. It’s decorated with quite a strange mixture of clashing colours, although there are plenty of tables to choose from and a very interesting sculpture on the ceiling.

We came in for some food and a drink. However there was no tables free and when we got one it was disgusting, myself and my wife cleared the table ourselves and then cleaned it.

When our food arrived it was cold so we had to send it back. They also got our orders wrong.

The Drapers arms in Peterborough is far better than this.
