Burnt Oak Milton Keynes in Milton Keynes

This place is a warm and welcoming environment with fantastic staff especially Ariani who was outstanding in her job and very knowledgeable and pleasant, lager wise I would say it is one of the cheapest pubs in the area and the lager is nice

New to the area looked online for cloest pub to us advertised as pie and chips night online went there sat down eventually a member of staff came over to explain kitchen was closed and always is on a monday?!! The door on the pub says pie monday?? Very confused as your advertising something which isnt there. Lady was also rude

Amazing pub! Live music! Nice staff! Good price ! Nice place! We had dinner and match the futebol after was a amazing one Guy playing songs

Amazing food coupled with good fair prices . I suggest you try the chicken wings , we tried both the Piri Piri and the Honey sharer , was so good (the Piri Piri) that I ordered as my main to have even more ! all the meals were great , fresh and no faults or complaints - The service is fast . The man behind the bar really takes pride in his meals and that we can see in the food- The seating in the bar area is a little loud but there is an option to sit in the dining room next door so you can select a pub environment or the dining room. Really cannot say enough times how happy all 4 quests were with the meal and my youngest son raved about his burger the whole way home. I did have the fish and chips once in an earlier visit and that too was large and prepared with pride. Well done to the team and those who have not tried the pub suggest you give it a try for a great meal at really fair decent cost.

My new local. This pub is everything you want - well served cider (or beer for others), friendly staff, great management and picture perfect food. There is no trouble here, just a relaxed and welcoming environment where you feel like part of the family. Not my closest pub from home, but most definitely my preferred. Keep it up!!

Nice and friendly staff ,love the atmosphere,really clean toilet and a lot of happy people! We'll come back for live entertainment

We ordered 6 meals. 5 came up on time. 6th was after we all had finished. Bar staff had got order wrong (although I pointed out on ordering that it was fish & chips not scampi as came up on the till). Apologised but left one of our family eating when everyone else had finished. Comment from a member of staff "well she did apologise" One to avoid in future

A great community pub with bargain food deals, me and some friends had the burger deal and it did not disappoint. Staff were friendly with recommendations for us, would definitely come back

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a true pleasure. I’ve dined at here several times and have never been disappointed

A great community pub. Stopped here for lunch with the family. Nice menu, food was served hot and quickly and was really tasty. A great range of beers and ciders and soft drinks. The pub was clean and tidy with friendly bar servers. Would recommend.

So amazing here!! Definitely the best pub to got to in West Milton Keynes. The staff are amazing, the food is brilliant and the atmosphere is loads of fun, especially if there's live music.

I visited again the 1st time for a long time and the pub is much improved, service is much better and I had food which was good.

Popped in for some lunch with the kids menu was great had everything they needed and the food was out quick enough to satisfy even my little Tarquin! Cant wait till summer to enjoy the beer garden.

I felt the pub had gone a bit down hill in the past, but the new managers have sorted it out big time. It is clean friendly and welcoming, there seems to be a new menu which we tried and the food was delicious, The service was great, nothing was too much trouble. I managed to catch the rugby over my wife's shoulder and enjoyed a good few beers while i was at it - best of both worlds! Great community pub.

Decided instead of going to a big chain pub, to pop into the burnt oak today for lunch. We had a lovely experience, warm welcome, table availability and a good menu. Typical pub grub. The children's menu is great, lots of choice. Food arrived in good time. Everything reasonably priced. £30 for a family of 3. Will be certain to return.

Don’t advertise sports if you aren’t going to play them on the big screen. Shoving fans into a corner to huddle round a tiny screen when England are playing and you’ve advertised the big screen is not really acceptable. You’re currently trying to over come the previous managements stigma so maybe start by delivering what you’ve promised. That’s 30 plus customers that’ll go elsewhere for the next game !.

Absolutely fuming. 30 rugby fans with 20mins to go moved to a small screen at the back because someone asked to watch the football. They advertise the 6 Nations. Will go elsewhere from now on.

I've read a lot of reviews about my local pub,Very unfair, the new management team are doing there best from quire frankly a train reck, Give them a chance and support your local a great fresh pint, Work to do on Ales of which I'm happy to guide but for politeness and a willingness to seve can't fault them

Subject: Burnt Oak MK Dons Date: 23/12/2022 18:43 From: Ian carmichael <iancarmichael03@gmail.com> To: info@awaygames.co.uk Hi Just a quick note about the Burnt Oak, I organised a coach for the MK dons Leicester game, I found the burnt Oak on your website, I tried to call but no answer but decided to just show up. The staff and managers were very welcoming and it is a good size boozer. I mentioned the phone call and have now updated their contact no. Would recommend it to other away fans. Only down side they did not sell my favourite tippel CORONA. There were 70 of us and no problems getting served although 1 regular was not happy as they looked after us 1st. 10/10 Kind regards Haggis LCFC

This pub was my local until 1 year ago never had an issue. We came for a drink to meet some friends and wow how it has gone downhill. If you don't know simple drinks and basic bar politics first come first served you should not be running a bar.

Visited the burnt oak tonight for a darts match. There was no draught beer available which I thought was very poor in a Marstons Pub, famous for Marstons Pedigree. The food supplied was poor. Undercooked chips and rubbish sausages.

Great pub, great dart board, live games and friendly bar staff - Lianne is the best. Good food (try the wings)

Had a meal with my husband tonight. Food and service was brilliant as ever. Can't recommend the Burnt Oak enough. Nate served us our food. Keep up the good work.

We had a fabulous afternoon at the Burnt Oak for the band Silver Spring. All guidelines were adhered to. Fabulous day. Thank you to the Burnt Oak Team

First time I had been in here to eat,never again,food cold,no customer service when serving our food, a dog roaming about in the restaurant,no track and trace,a one way system that no one was using,no hand sanitizer,no cutlery given had to ask,prawns looked very pale,would...

A group of us visited to Burnt Oak today to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We booked tables outside to see the visiting band, but these were taken by locals. The staff didn’t seem to care too much. There was no sanitizer, or any reference to...

Went for cheap night out very surprised how good the food was a limited menu but all our food was good. The staff were excellent and very friendly definitely will visit again.

We had a lot of trouble finding Easy Hotel this time. It was dark, the last time was during the day and was easy. This time, at night we were lost ! Lack of any signage for the hotel didn't help.

Friendly pub with cheap drinks. Food is average but you get what you pay for. Probably due a refurb now but don’t let that put you off. Some good bands on a the weekend as well.

Cheap food but you do get what you pay for so not that bad really. The best thing about the pub is the staff, they are really good, very helpful and very polite.

Well I must say that my experience today was great. We finished work to have a few beers and some finger food. The service by Ash and her colleagues was superb, good food and good prices. Really happy with the overall experience . Well done....

4 of us popped in for a meal after looking at the online menu and not ever visiting before. We ordered three steak pies and one veggie lasagne. All three of the pies had rock hard pastry and the meat wasn't much better. The lasagne,...

We have visited this pub on many occasions both for lunch and dinner, the food is cheap and cheerful with quite a good choice and consistently good quality. The Light Lunch menu is excellent value for money.

Food is fab. Service and staff are brilliant. Menu choices are varied. Prices are fabulous. Food arrives quickly and freshly cooked.

Um mal abends ein Bier zu trinken und einen Burger zu essen. Verschiedene Biere, auch frisch gezapft. Nettes Personal, wer mag spielt dort auch Dart.

This is the go to pub for a wonderful English Breakfast...yeah with Chips... in Milton Keynes. I have been here a few times and the all day breakfast is just great...two eggs, two sausages, bacon, tomato, beans and yes chips! This is a friendly and unpretentious pub in Shenley...I guess you would call it a community pub, nothing flash, TV, Football, Fruit machines and yes friendly.....and for a breakfast, one of the best.

The menu is varied and well priced. Often eat here and always receive a nice welcome from staff. Even the drinks are reasonably priced. Not a glamorous pub but clean.

This is a friendly and quite unpretentious pub in Milton Keynes that produces a wonderful all day breakfast, I have been several times and each time the breakfast is great. The staff and friendly and the service is swift. If you are looking for a good value English breakfast.....with some chips, then this is a must try pub, as I say friendly and down to earth...what a good pub is.

Booked a table for my granddaughters 5th birthday, we were allowed to dress the table and window up. The food was excellent and the staff were attentive. All of us had a great time.

Paramos aquí para ver un partido en Sky y decidimos almorzar. La comida era comida de pub y estándar pero de buena calidad para el precio era excelente relación calidad-precio. Dos cenas y postres y bebidas era 20 libras. Cervezas eran interesantes y tenían 3 en oferta. Creo que volveremos.

Hi we have eaten at the burnt oak pub on various occasions and the food has been acceptable but nothing special and on the last occasion we had a party of 8 and everyone's food was awful to the extent that we complained to the manageress and was told that next time the food would be on them but as we were not planning to use this pub again for food we never took her up on her offer. Today we heard that the chef had changed and so had the menu so we thought why not give it another chance, we ordered a chicken dish and a mixed grill and I must say that the food was marvellous and honestly could not fault it at all. Upon speaking to the manageress we told her that the new chef had our compliments and she told us that he had come from the beams pub on the next estate and that Meade perfect sense as we have eaten there many times and always found their food fabulous, so give The Beams another go - you will be glad you did !

have just come back from the burnt oak was a delicious sunday dinner ,there were 6 in our party 5 had meat roasts that all said were lovely and I had nut roast which was the best ive ever had and on top of that all staff were lovely ,helpful and friendly

Arrived at 8:30pm kitchen closes at 9:00pm we waited a little while but it was well worth it, the food was lovely, hot and plentiful, very nicely served by very obliging waiter/bar man, would definitely visit again if in area, the toilets smelled lovely and very clean as was the pub.

Fuimos con mi anterior y ambos conseguimos nan un plato principal y un postre y estaba delicioso, sin duda lo recomiendo a todos!!

Cenamos el día de Navidad aquí. Y tiene que ser el mejor lugar en Milton Keynes. Fue muy amable y el camarero era tan bueno que nos permiten relajarse entre nuestras comidas y él era tan relajado. totalmente se reserva para el próximo año

Not a lot to say. It was an extremely nice visit and the food has improved considerable from my earlier reviews. There were 9 of us and 7 ate with a varied selection of meals.I had the popcorn chicken, my wife had the Cajun chicken, there were 3 breakfasts, a quesadilla and a burrito. All food was well cooked and this time all were well presented. The pub was very busy but the service was friendly and quick and the food hot. I must add it is an extremely varied menu with a very wide choice.

Good value for money. Had been recommended and had lunch here with my daughter. We both agreed it was a satisfying lunch and good menu to suit all tastes.

We take Sunday lunch at the Burnt Oak a couple of times a month and over the past few months the standard has improved beyond recognition. There was a time we avoided it but are now more than happy with the service, menu and the food. The staff are cheerful and friendly, which does make a difference to a place.We find the menu simple but effective and with a reasonable choice.The food is now well prepared and presented and offers good value for money.

The last time I visited the meal I chose was not as described and of a lower standard than expected. This time I chose something lighter and had a BBQ Chicken and Bacon Baguette. It proved to be of a very good standard and exactly as described.I also enjoyed a pint of beer that was also excellent and satisfactory price. It was a new beer and I cannot recall its name.We went as a family of 6 and on this occasion we all enjoyed it and had good meals.

This place recently had a referb, which looks ok. The staff were friendly enough, however on arrival (when they opened at 12) I went to get highchair for my 1yr old and was disgusted at the state of it. Obviously hygiene isn't their priority. There was dried bean juice etc on tray and then opened it out to find what looked like really old corgette and other lumps of food. Other chair was just as bad, so ended up having to sit him on my lap trying to eat.... great!!! Food took ages to come out and then was pretty average. Husbands curry looked more like a salsa with chicken in, which he said wasn't great. I don't normally do reviews on places to eat but felt I had to on this one. Safe to say that was the first and last time. Not good at all.

We went on a Monday evening for dinner with friends, on arrival there was ample parking in the large car park. Once inside the pub was not very busy but we had to wait a unreasonable amount of time to be served drinks as there was only one member of staff behind the bar. Having to select your choice of food from the menu and then having to go to the bar again to order is a practice that I personally find a chore especially having to remember what everyone wants, maybe a number system on the menu and supplying pen and paper would improve the system.When the food arrived it was quite good, however rare steaks were served medium but on the whole not bad value for money.We would return to the Burnt Oak when cheap and cheerful dining was required.

My Husband and I have been for lunch at the Burnt Oak twice in recent weeks with our baby girl. We hadn't been in a few years as we were fed up of microwaved food coming out half cooked and still frozen in the middle.We decided to try again on the spur of the moment and were pleasantly surprised to find the whole venue had been refurbished. We selected a table and sat down, placed our order and honestly our experience from years ago could not have been more different to now. The staff are so lovely and friendly, personal without being over the top, discrete without ignoring you completely. Just a brilliant mix of all the things you'd like when eating a lunch. The food was a bit slow the first time, but came out and tasted lovely and fresh. Nothing like the microwaved, half frozen slop from years ago and when we mentioned on our second visit a week later about the fact we didn't have much time they made sure our food was on the table in a timely manner.We're a large family of ten, and could never visit this establishment for meals before because of lack of tables that could accommodate us so are very excited to see a large table available too.We'll definitely be back very soon, I believe this may become our new regular lunchtime haunt!

Bit of paint and a monstrosity that negates second telly, Rugby World Cup elsewhere then.Good luck, think you might need it.

This is not a review per se but I wanted to flag up that the brewery are soon to carry out a refurbishment here.

Obviously this is my personal view. A family lunch at the Burnt Oak was, for me very disappointing. I decided to have the traditional Lancashire hotpot. The description is where the word traditional is misunderstood. Expecting to get what was in the recipe I was really disappointed. I could not find any roast parsnips, the sauté potatoes were not sautéed, and as for being finished with cheese there was neither any sight nor taste of cheese. As for the jug of gravy, it was non existent. It was nowhere near what could be described as a Lancashire hotpot. Nuff said !!!

The burnt oak has a friendly welcome the staff are both helpful and friendly. A wide range of entertainment for all ages. Two areas so you can choose wether you would love to watch all range of sports or have a quiet meal or drink.

Estate pub with large catchment area. Eclectic clientele provides a varied mix of conversation levels. 2 outdoor gardens, covered smoking area. Sky/BT sports usually showing live action. Friendly staff. Cheap and cheerful pub grub. Range of real ales, regularly rotated and at a decent price. Regular disco/karaoke evenings. If only the brewery would spend some money here, they'd see a good return on their investment, I'm sure. Even a new carpet, tables and a lick of paint would transform the place without breaking the bank. Other local inns have followed this so the Oak now looks like a poor relation, but it needn't be so.

The Burnt Oak is a typical Estate Pub but the surroundings are pleasant and the choice of beers is good.The food is ok but nothing to really shout about.In my opinion its a good place for a quick snack or lunch but not a place to go for a special occasion. Prices are reasonable but then that's reflected in the food.

Me and 10 of my friends booked a Christmas meal here. Top class service, amazing food, and they were able to cater for a large party too. Very welcoming friendly staff made our Christmas meal lovely. also able to cope with various food allergies without any issues or fuss. Will use this pub again.

10 of us were very well looked after for our Christmas Meal by the pleasant &amp; at tentative staff.Drinks reasonably priced.3 course meal for £11.99 was excellent value and lots of choice. Generous servings for people who love their food!Well done to all the staff &amp; we had a good evening :)

we recently met,for dinner,the organiser,had forgotton to book a table at the resteraunt of our choice!!!! I booked at table,at the last minute at the burnt oak,and found them to be very accomodating.The food was pub grub,it all came out together and was of an acceptable standard.I would like to thank them. Its a nice friendly local pub.

I'm actually appalled!It's right on my doorstep so I thought I'd try it with my kids on a Sunday lunchtime.The service was awful - miserable staff. Cutlery trays practically empty, decor really old fashioned. Washroom floors all sticky too.Ordered sausages for the kids only for bar person to say we've run out but some other member of staff has gone to the shopsTo buy some more!Kids had nuggets and waffles and corn on the cob. All dry and /oily. We also ordered off the adult menu - don't get me started so awful I had to ask for my money back! Won't be going back there in a hurry even I'm hungry!

Moved into Shenley Brooke end and was super excited to have a pub just outside the house, walked in there and realised I'd rather walk for an hour or so to go to any other pub. The owners are SO miserable, it's almost like they don't care about the custom, and the whole atmosphere is just so dull and lifeless, it's awful. Worst pub in mk, and I've seen almost all of them.

Popped in for lunch on a weekday after my wife had been to the hairdressers opposite.The staff were really friendly, helpful and effective.The food was perfectly decent mass produced pub grub, It was served hot and was pleasant enough to eat.The half of EPA I had was a pleasant draught ale with a different blonde colour.But, and it is a big but, the tables were scruffy and desperately needed to be sanded down and revarnished and the whole place looked like it needs a makeover. Perhaps that explains why ti was virtually empty of customers.

Quite simply, food quality was poor, and service lacked imagination.I would suggest that Ikea buyers need to sample the oven baked fish before serving to their customers.......it's awful.Making our way to table I noticed the usual statements on the subject of returning trays and used crockery to various stations in order to keep costs to a minimum.....I suppose partly cleaned tables are also cost cutting.Our food was barely warm and returning it was met with indifference, it was replaced with more of the same, although a little warmer, it wasn't hot.

I cannot say that this is a rough pub, I didn't get that feeling and was comfortable being on my own. Very very tired decor specially at the back, screaming for a refurb. Friendly staff, decent cheap food and drinks, nothing special but nothing bad. This is simply a place without pretensions, patiently waiting for somebody to eventually be able to spend a bit of money on a new decor. As such, only adecuate for meeting people with both feet on the ground, not to impress, but keeping that on mind it is not a bad place.

Visited twice recently. The first time slow service but good quality food well cooked and presented.The second tine at 8.25pm on a Tuesday we were unable to order food even though the notice outside stated food up to 9pm. The excuse being that a party was still in and they were unable to take any food orders? Why when the group were well into their meals and the place was fairly empty? The main comment related to the tables and decor BOTH in need of some Tlc. The have a good selection of wines and beers but seem unable to cope with any busy spells. We will not be going back unless things improve.
