Caldecotte Arms in Milton Keynes - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stumbled across this pretty cool looking building which looks like an old windmill. It's a pretty spacious pub and the staff were very welcoming. The menu isn't ground breaking and it's not home made food but for the price you get a decent meal. We were served by Beth who really looked after us and ensured that we had everything that we needed. Having a toddler makes mealtimes more challenging but Beth was lovely with our little one and made us feel at ease. There is a little miniature railway nearby and this pub sits right next to a lake and play area. It really is a great little find.

Only really visit for a drink The service is very slow I would never eat in the restaurant as the hygiene standards are poor I would shut it down for a deep clean and maybe new furniture I do feel sad to see the state of the place as I remember it first opening and being wonderful Finally toilets are shocking

Got bitten alive by bugs or mosquitoes by Monday they were big red blotches had to go to my pharmacy for antibiotics!! Unbelievable surely something should be done !!??

Plasic cups 🥤 NO Pimms NO garlic bread Çhips soft Katsu curry tastes chemically NO atmosphere ( music in background ) STAFF DID NOT MAKE US FILL WELCOME ( didn't come round and ask if everything is OK ONE OF THE STAFF MEMBERS ( Think is a manager), had their children running around whilst she is on shift!

We wanted lunch in the garden, but we were told that food is not served in that area, it was 28 degrees and we did not want to sit indoors, so we just had a drink outside, there was no parasols, we asked for one, which was brought to us, we had to put it in the table and put it up. A lot of the tables slope, there was rubbish all over the grass. The pub site says top notch amenities, certainly not top notch in my world

Excellent parking, and lovely surroundings and building, however there was some kind of disco quiz which was at a ridiculous volume and a DJ that sounded like a Peter Kay sketch in that you couldn’t understand him even if you wanted to. It was a shame because the waitress staff were attentive and friendly in particular Jeanette which somewhat help to rescue the evening.

Scabby and bitty! All the chair seats need recovering, all the glasses need replacing they look filthy ( bars excuse is it’s the dishwasher) food was served rock hard and burnt, tepid puddings, no salt and pepper on the table, sauce bottles nearly all empty, took ages to clear tables.

Our waiter harry was amazing did everything perfectly and to when didnt have burgers he gave me an amazing recommendation i couldnt fault him once amazing experience thank you so much

Best place in Milton Keynes to have a tomahawk steak (t bones are also great) delicious!! Fantastic staff as well, kudos to Alfi!!

Tabitha's customer service was DISGRACEFUL. Got my order wrong and blamed me for it like how disgraceful can you get? I will NEVER return!!!!!!!!

I have previously left a review for an outstanding experience provided by Beth, one of the waitresses, and returned to find myself amazed once again. The friendly and professional service provided by this young lady, Beth, makes me 100% recommend visiting this Pub and Grill purely for the pleasure of having beautiful food brought by fabulous staff.

Really disappointing. The trip advisor page looked amazing. But we were quite let down. The Tea was luke warm when it arrived with us. We wanted a starter but all but the bang bang caulflower and Hullumi fries were sold out. Our Beef roasts arrived. The meat was cooked to perfection and as described pink to the centre. The cauliflower cheese was pretty bloody good. The downsides were the Yorkshire puddings had the consistency of prawn crackers and the most concerning thing was that the beef had a fishy taste to it. The building is nice though, there are some nice walks and the EV charger worked perfectly.

Food came out quickly but whilst the starter was nice, the main was unpleasant, dry and overcooked fish, and the dessert was tiny. Very poor value. I would not eat here unless you are in the Premier Inn next door. Friendly and helpful staff. Probably nice for a beer in summer with the lake nearby but well over £5 for the lowest strength lager.

Very pleasant evening of 6 adults, 2, 5 year olds and a 1 year old. Very acommadating and excellent service. Food good and great location

We ate here for 3 nights and the service was quick and friendly. Beth served us on our last night and she was very helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was better than expected with the steak cooked particularly well. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Food was good, came out in a timely manner, tasty and hot. Service from Beth was great. Super friendly and efficient, made for a lovely Sat evening.

Lovely meal with a great view of the lake and fantastic service from our waitress Beth. Good selection on the menu and food we ordered was very tasty. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated.

We were staying for two nights at the adjoining hotel and dined here on both nights. The food was good quality and well presented. The two members of the restaurant staff that we interacted with, Lorraine in particular was extremely helpful and considerate over my wife's food allergies . We can not praise her enough. On our second night there we had the great pleasure of being attended by a very smart young man named Harry. His manner, skill and quality of service were wonderful.It was only later that we found that it was his first day working there. Well done Harry. I hope you new employer recognises what a great choice they have made in taking you into their employ.

16 of us with a wide range of tastes were at the Caldecote for a family meal to celebrate my Grandson’s 21st Birthday. The food was really good, but above that was the tremendous service we received from Bethany our waitress. It was decided that the bill be split 5 ways and Bethany arranged it brilliantly. Nothing was too much trouble for her, she smiled cheerfully throughout the whole meal, which made the event extremely enjoyable. Well done Bethany

Lovely food, great location. Comfortable and relaxing fantastic service. Parking very convenient. We had a lovely time and will return.

Tabitha was a great. Lovely steak and extras. Nice atmosphere. Polite and attentive service. Well priced wine with access to water.

We booked dinner as we are staying at the Premier Inn next door. The food is very nice and the service was swift and attentive throughout. Thank you to Beth our waitress who was great. She even took an item off of our bill with...

Currently staying at the premier inn next door, we came here for dinner on our first night and had a great meal, compliments to our waiter Reece who recommended his favourite dessert to us, it was amazing! Will definitely revisit!

We had a very enjoyable lunch with our family including two young grandchildren (6 & 3) which included kids fish fingers and beef burger with chips, gammon steak, crispy chicken burger, Tex Mex burger followed by kid's chocolate brownie, ice cream, raspberry cheesecake, sticky toffee...

The service and welcome here is amazing and the staff are really attentive and helpful - a special shout out to Jenny and Reece for looking after us so well, they are both fantastic!!!

Disco Bingo and our main man REECE was amazing! Can’t thank him enough! Professional, caring and just an amazing guy! Took care of us from start to finish xx

Reece was amazing, he made sure we was seated and checked in on us all night! Always had a smile on his face and was so kind! Top year service will 100% be returning if the service is as good as his!!!

Food was lovely. Beth was very friendly and helpful making sure we had everything we needed! I would recommend to friends and family.

Arrived in Milton Keynes for a uni trip - popped in for a cappuccino here while waiting to check into my room room at the premier inn. Stunning lakeside views and easy access walk by the water but my favourite part was the friendly staff....

Beth our waitress was great, very attentive and lovely, nothing was a bother to her. The food was ok, pub grub and filled a hole & easy when staying at the Premier Inn. If it hadn't been for Beth the rating would be lower

Lovely lunch very attentive Waitrose in Beth. Beth was lovely Beth was superb very engaging and a lovey smile. The roast beef was very tender

Our waitress Beth was very good. She was welcoming helpful and friendly. She had a good knowledge of the menu and wine. She was honest and open. It was clearly a very busy evening which she managed well. Well done Beth! And thank you.

Was a lovely meal, food tasted freshly prepared and had amazing service from waitress Beth who couldn’t do more for us. Very friendly and great experience xx

We came to the Caldecotte for dinner in march and the service that Beth gave us was exceptional, friendly and very professional. Beth made sure that we were well looked after, very good knowledge on the food and wine and most importantly had a constant...

Don’t bother! Woefully disorganised bar staff who are rude and disrespectful I won’t be going again. There are other better places in Milton Keynes to spend a Sunday afternoon

We regularly come here as of recently due to my pregnancy’s craving being the stake sandwich and Mac and cheese and this place has never disappointed myself a soon to be little one 😌 Our server was Beth this time and she was fab, quick...

We stayed next door at the Premier Inn and had dinner here for two nights. It is a nice pub, great wine and very good food although a few more chips would be good. The service is excellent and we were looked after by Beth...

Staff were excellent especially rosa with all our special requests nothing was too much trouble and food was always hot and fresh stayed here for 4 weeks and was always impressed 👌

Went to enjoy a meal with our friend on Monday evening, we did not book but it was not crowded. This was about 7.15pm. We were told there was no room in the restaurant and they were reserved and we would have to sit in...

Very good experience, Beth was lovely and very professional, keep it up and we will return. Most refreshing as previous visits have been not so enjoyable.

Popped in today after a walk around the lakes and was served by Beth who was very lovely, polite and helpful. The food was quick and very tasty

Went today and was served by Beth who was amazing, attentive but also gave me and my husband the space to catch up and be child free. The venue itself is beautiful, food delicious and service excellent. Highly recommend

Food was delicious, Beth, our waitress was absolutely fantastic! Lovely atmosphere, 5* would recommend. Rump steak was very very delicious and very good vfm

Beth was really friendly and provided good service throughout the night even though it was very busy. Food was also very nice, I would recommend to others

Pub food. Food was alright. Not bad, not amazing, but not over expensive, so that's fine. I was served by Beth, who have have to say, for someone so young, was very good. Well done Beth!

Food was really good. Really good value for money. Had the Sunday roast however the stuffing was cold and hard. Did taste nice enough but if we had slightly more gravy it would have been better. The only thing that marks this place down is...

Nice atmosphere, tasty macaroni cheese and friendly waitress Beth. Side salad not so good (mostly onion, limp leaves and hard green beans) but that's a small matter.

Excellent food and service. Jenny was super friendly and helpful, absolutely made our visit a pleasant one! Thank you for making us feel so welcome

I had a Lovely flatbread and was served by a friendly waitress - Jenny- who did a fab job! Thank you for the shortbreads too :-)

Jenny was an absolute dream and nothing was too much trouble. Food was fab and the warm welcome and great service made a night away from home less of a chore - well done Jenny!!!

Lovely Sunday lunch, trio of roasts was plentiful and tasty with a selection of tasty vegetables and a big Yorkshire pudding. The vegetarian Stilton Wellington was tasty too, served with roasted new potatoes. The service was very good, Beth looked after us well and made...

Beth looked after us very well! :) Had a lovely trio of roasts, all of which were fab! Would definitely come again soon! :)

Only leaving review for the extremely warm and friendly waitress called Beth. Who was so attentive and quick also making conversation which breaks down the barrier of server and customer but made me feel like I was speaking to a friend. Absolutely what was needed...

Fantastic evening with awesome food and made to feel extremely welcome by all staff, especially Jenny who was our waitress for the evening. A delight to meet and chat to her. Amazing customer service which just added to our evening.

The staff here were exceptional especially Beth who was friendly, efficient and well informed. The food was very good.

Really friendly service & Beth looked after us with great enthusiasm & professionalism. Our steaks were sumptuous!! Thoroughly enjoyable evening

Staying over with work and arriving after a long day was welcomed. I was found a table for 1 and dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Had the steak and it was brilliant. If you’re near here worth a visit.

The food was fab! Me and my friend had two of the veggie options and it was delicious. Shoutout to Monique for the amazing service - she's an absolute gem, so polite and caring! Would 100% come again!

Came in for lunch. Food was delicious. There were lots of options available. Staff were very attentive and made our visit amazing!

We had a lively meal, served by Donna. Really pleased with the food and service. Husband likes the gammon meal withapple crumble n custard to finish,

We had a fantastic late Christmas family get together. The food was lovely and the waitress (working on her birthday!) was very attentive. We visit regularly as we have family locally and always come away happy.

Tabitha is the best waitress in here. Attended to all our needs. Lovely food. Give her a pay rise;) food was amazing would deffo come again.

Food was good, service was quick, waitress was very polite and funny. Over all a good place for a date. Tabitha was outstanding!

Lovely visit to caldecotte today Demi and Rosalia were very helpful and pleasant behind the bar both full of smiles nothing was to much trouble credit to the team

Came at 8.30 all the way from Doncaster to be informed the kitchen had closed it states on the Web site 9 the staff weren't accommodating at all wasn't very busy lots of empty tables was very dissatisfied and was so looking forwards to eating...

First time coming in a few years and what an improvement. Good service and food was fantastic. Will be back.

Brilliant service, lorraine specifically good tasting food was given an extra sausage which im grateful for

Had a relaxing start to the morning with a delicious Custom* Full English Breakfast served by Lorraine. The sun was shining over the lake.The food looked clean and cooked at a high standard.

Great place to have a drink with friends after a walk around the lake. Pleasant staff especially Monique and Lorraine.

Stopped for a couple of pints and was greeted by Rosa at the bar. Great service with a smile, had a good laugh. Customer service was A1.

Great venue. Tabatha is amazing, can’t praise her enough. Shame about the ladies toilets. The only thing that lets it down.

A group of us, including wheelchair users went on 2 separate Monday afternoon. We had been to visit The Caldecott Experience and was having lunch. So of our group have adapted food 😋 The staff couldn't be more welcoming and accommodating. The adapted the menu slightly and moved furniture to say the least. They treated us all respectfully and were helpful, professional and friendly. I was ultra happy with the superb service from all staff. 1 of whom gave the name Lorraine Lloyd. She was on our second visit.

Great venue, free parking. Great food, fresh and hot, service excellent. Tabitha our waitress was so friendly and polite, food delivered quickly

Great place, clean and tidy ready for service. Lovely calming atmosphere with great food. Shai serviced us from start to finish and was a pleasure to have serving us. Always smiling and genuinely happy to help. Great experience here.

I was greeted in the morning by Lorraine with a smile & a welcome, I order coffee & was served promptly with zero fuss. Very professional. Always a lovely place to go.

Really enjoyed breakfast here this morning. I had berry and yoghurt pancakes and my husband had full English. Both really tasty and the pancakes were beautifully presented. Shai looked after us really well and was a cheerful and friendly face. She was attentive without being overbearing and we’ll definitely come here again.

Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere. Food was served promptly by Shai who was very attentive and looked after us. Table next to us had a minor disaster with a drink and initially I thought the young lad who was serving had ignored them and walked past them but he'd gone to grab some stuff to mop up the mess and resolved the screaming kid situation with the minimum of fuss. Food portions were good, tasted fresh and the Tex-Mex beyond burger was very tasty. Could not fault our meal out.

Excellent service from Tabitha can tell she really enjoys her job and really friendly staff member…..

Stayed at the Premier Inn and had 2 dinners and a lunch at the Caldecott. Very amiable staff and good service. The food was nicely cooked and presented, with enough choice for all tastes.

The staff are amazing, the food is great and has a lovely selection. Will definitely eat here again when I’m next working in the area

The restaurant is absolutely stunning, the food was lovely and arrived super quickly, but the real star of the show was our waitress Skye! She was attentive, personable, helpful, and generally just lovely! Abbie also came to our table to give us the bill and...

Have eaten here many times over the years but was really disappointed with Sunday lunch today, I had the trio of roast meat which was OK but the vegetables were terrible, peas, carrots and broccoli was so overdone it was like eating tasteless rubber. The...

A lovely meal. Our waitress Beth was especially friendly and helpful. Always lots of smiles and couldn't do enough for myself and my partner.

We always love coming to The Caldecotte and today we had the pleasure of meeting Tabatha, who helped us choose our drinks. Tabatha provided excellent service, she was smiling and chatting to us the whole time. Wonderful experience!

Lovely meal and service. I had a steak which was perfectly cooked and delicious. We were served by Tabitha, she was friendly and very prompt.

Stopped overnight in the premier inn next door (after visiting Harry Potter) and our server, Skye, was fantastic. My eldest has ASD and was feeling a bit overwhelmed from our day out and she bent over backwards to be helpful: giving us extra time to...

Shai was our server, service throughout was great, food was really nice. Not too noisy so was able to have good conversation, definitely go back again.

Amazing and they have quiz nights in Wednesdays Please try out the food and drinks and if your there weds nights it’s quiz night

Fantastic meal, great value for money m. Tabitha especially was incredibly polite and helpful. Will be returning when next visiting IKEA

Lovely food, efficiently delivered by our (Halloween'd) devilish server. Tasty range of dishes. Great job!

Birthday meal for 2. Excellent service by the waiting staff Jack, Tabitha and Michael but the best mention by far was the quality of the steak. I am very picky on my steaks but this was absolutely delicious. We had the tomahawk, such flavour, expertly...

This restaurant was a fabulous! I really loved the aesthetic of the windmill, the ginger waitress (Skye) was lovely, the meal was delicious.

The food was great and the service was timely (considering there were a bunch of us). Our server Jack was lovely, couldn’t fault him. Well done guys :) x

We’ve loved this venue ever since we had our reception here in 2019! We received outstanding service from Skye today, really appreciate the extra effort, especially considering our young boy was struggling with his food and became emotional. We don’t write many reviews which speaks...

Had a lovely breakfast at The Caldecotte, Jeanette catered for our every need and was very attentive even with the fire alarm sounding.

This is the second occasion in as many months that I have been to visit here, and both times I've had exceptional service and simply the best food and experience to go with it. Treat yourself to a steak, you won't regret it. I have...

Oh just wow wow wow!!!! We were welcomed by Lorraine . Great service with a beautiful smile, ordered the full English and enjoyed everything on the plate,,,, will definitely return, free to park motor home overnight

Very nice food, arrived in good time after ordering, great service and friendly staff, would definitely eat here again, highly recommended.

Had an amazing full English breakfast, great food and good price. Served by Lorraine who was brilliant and went out of her way to look after us. We will always go there when in the area Thank you Lorraine and the Caldecotte.

Food was great except the veggie roast wasn't available. Was also a little cold in the building. Having said this we would definitely return. Service was lovely, our server Lloyd was friendly and welcoming. We'd had a long day, and his friendly attitude was appreciated...
