Clocktower in Milton Keynes

This place used to be my local years ago. I visited on Thurs 29th November with my two boys. Wow what a change and all for the e better. Spotlessly clean, warm welcome by big guy who I think was the landlord, greeted as if I was a regular. Order 3 meals on the Thurs deal £6 each, Big portions, well presented and on the table within 20min. Compliments to the chef who I now know is Pierre. The value for money on thus deal is hard to believe. Then there is Natalie I am not sure of her position but whatever it us she needs a payrise. Buzzing around like a duracell bunny with an infectious smile and personality she even managed to snap me out of my bad mood and I am a miserable bugger. Outstanding service, she didn't pass one table or one customer without some kind if acknowledgment to each and every customer. All while serving drinks or deli vering food to tables and then making sure the tables were all cleaned down after. Well done clock tower proper first class attention to detail , good food and good customer service is still out there. We will be back......regularly. Wayne H

Good hosts, reasonably priced beers and good selection of bar food

It's a nice local pub with friendly staff food is usually good

Fantastic service as always, thank you so much to Tash and Jonty, always make us feel at home and welcome! You guys are amazing! Special shout out to Tash for brave the shave! Proud of you!

New to the area so decided on a bar crawl to find a decent new local. The Clocktower is definitely up there, great value for money and great staff. Leanne was really helpful with shot deals. Will be returning, 3 baby guinesses for £6! Yes please

Really impressed with the food and the friendly staff, would definitely go back again. Portion sizes are really big, amazing value for money!

What a grate place to come nice food, good beer, and nice staff. The food is reasonably price as well as the deals they have on every day make it worth while coming in

I have drank in the clock tower for a number of years but today's experience was shocking the (bar man) has got no people skills

This is a warm and welcoming pub with a great ambience.The staff are all friendly and helpful and the food is great value for money. Lianne knows her stuff and very efficient and that includes the rest of the staff as well

The Clocky is my local drinking establishment and is a PROPER local: 1. Reasonable priced drinks 2. Excellent deals on food - especially Wednesday Burgers 3. Craicing, and kindred spirited, customers! The (majority of) staff aren't too bad, either! I always feel welcome and completely relaxed when I visit. Well done to The Clock Tower and all concerned in the day to day running. However, Greene King "Area" and "UK" Management need to improve substantially and focus on customers with CLEAR ADVERTISING - NO bull$h1t 🤷‍♂️😮

Ange & Pierre thankyou so much for the lovely meal & drinks we had today, you were absolutely amazing to accommodate all 14 people at such short notice, fantastic service

First time inn. 2 adults 2 kids. Service was great start to finish. Man behind bar so nice very friendly n food was really good. We orederd share platter thing as no1 was really hungry but soon as came out we all wished got proper meals as was so nice. Ppl nice food nice n place was really nice. We dif b back

Just popped in for a drink, May have a meal next time. Friendly staff

Highly recommended - we often go here for food and drinks and the menu has lots of nice choices and deals and is reasonably priced. Staff are really friendly and service is fast.

Natasha is brilliant. Shes really friendly, smiles all the time. Sorted Rugby on telly for us. Five stars. What a girl. Will definitely recommend.

Reheated food stodgy food and dried up,beer was ok though.

Food was served up cold! , showed staff! They weren’t bothered, praying the bit I consumed doesn’t make me sick!

Friendly and cheap as chips. Good value

We stumbled on this pub when visiting Milton Keynes for the day and googled for local pubs serving food. As it was a Sunday evening we weren't sure what we would find. First impressions from the car park were positive. The pretty hanging flower baskets were welcoming. Staff were polite and helpful. We chose to sit outside where there was plenty of space and ordered food that was brought out quickly and was delicious. It was also very cheap! If we are nearby again we will definitely be back.

They people went into Clock Tower . They people buy beer and food for they family

Food was amazing, quick service. Got to speak to the owner/chef awesome will return. Excellent value for money, good atmosphere, great location easy to find, out door area in hot weather.

Very friendly staff, food was amazing for the price,will definitely be going again, spoke to owner who was very friendly.

Very welcoming pub/restaurant, we have visited this establishment on a number of times for a family meal and not once have we been disappointed. Great value for money, staff always very friendly that always make sure things are okay with us and the place is always clean. Our last visit, 18th July, we got there told of our online reservation but was told that due to staff shortages they are not serving food. However they said that where it was only 3 of us this time they could fit us in. Now not many places would do this and it was very refreshing. Highly recommend this place for a very nice, great value for money meal and a nice selection of drinks too.

Spent the whole night playing darts and chatting with friends last Friday but we regularly visit at different time of the day and love it. Always feel comfortable (unlike other pubs). The guys and girls that work here and run the pub are amazing. Food is fantastic. Our kids love to come here for dinner aswell. Clocktower, please don't change

When we arrived, the only tables available were high tables with really high chairs that were really difficult to get on. I don't understand why pubs feel the need to have these high tables as everyone was choosing to sit at the standard tables if there was one available. The food was quite nice and good value as we had gone for the build your own burger option. However my food was missing an item. The servers were all friendly. The ladies toilets were in very scruffy condition and clearly in need of a good clean and replacement doors for the cubicles.

Service behind the bar is awful. Euros final and 3 staff working behind the bar when they knew it would be busy. One women started on the bar and 15 minutes later she left for a cigarette break while people were waiting for over an hour for a drink. Definitely need to re assess their service.

Staff are very rude and swear will swear at you

A quick thirst quenching pit stop on a day too hot to cycle. Excellent recommendation by the bar team, hit the spot that others don't reach. And there are two darts boards. A lovely community sports hub. Bar menu looks costly effective and tempting, I'll be back :D

Good value for money food.friendly staff…sports tv

Good food and friendly staff. Updated review 17th April 2024 My wife and I continue to visit the Clocktower. We really enjoy the seniors meals. They are very enjoyable and reasonably priced.

came in for some birthday drinks michelle was brilliant. Kept us served all night would highly recommend this place. thank you to the team and michelle for your diligent service it was an intergral part to making this a great night

Great dog friendly pub! We were only in Milton Keynes for the day and came across the Clocktower to watch the football. Food prices were amazing and the deals and the drinks were also cheaply priced. Would visit again if in MK.

We were recommended this place. We decided to have Sunday lunch. It is very close to our home so it should have been a rare find. It wasnt. Came to the bar we were waived to any table. Chose Sunday lunch. Food was cold. The meat was tough. No horse radish. Not that anyone was interested. The place really could do with a clean up.

Really good, lots of tvs for football, playing multiple games, low cost food for a lot

Good vibe pub for the England Ireland six nations. Child friendly Saturday afternoon. Decent Guinness and child menu food was standard but good.

The food was great!! My husband had a venison pie, with a proper crusty pie, not the shabby puff pustry pie. The slow cooked venison would melt in your mouth. I had a Sunday roast. The beef was very tender and the potatoes very tasty. Honestly, the best pub food. We decided then to have a plum crumble for dessert. Very nice, not too sweet. The sweetness came mainly from the fruit, rather than from the added sugar

The food came quick and hot and was delicious my partner and kids loved there meals and mine was beautiful definitely recommend

Came down for a meal during the six nations, had lovely service from the lady behind the bar, my food arrived quick and was nice and hot, the atmosphere in the pub was brilliant as well - lots of locals showing to support there preferred teams, credits to the team!

Lovely food at great prices. Ordered via the app which was very easy and food arrived quickly. Service was helpful and friendly, pub could do with a referb especially ladies loos. Loads of parking outside

Have never eaten in this pub before although we have lived in the area over 20 years, our local that we use was not serving food so we thought we would give it a go, we were not let down, the food was A1 the staff were brilliant and friendly so there is not much more i can say other than you will see us again.

We had our Christmas work do here. The manager and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was brilliant. Steak cooked perfect. Service time great. Will definitely book again.

No such place as Clock tower in ashtead. Delete this entry

Great local pub Really good value for money food

Nice place to visit and has a good selection of food and drink. Gets a bit full when footy etc is on, but shouldn't stop you from going. There is a large car park out the front that is free. The Staff are friendly and helpful. Not much more I can say really, try it out for yourself.

Had the "Wednesday £5 burger deal" Wow. WOW!! Tasty, delicious, and the portion of chips beat me! Well hosted and served by Andy, and excellently cooked by Adam - thanks gents!!

The people went to Pub. Pub has tv wacthing sport football, cricket. They people order buy food , beer and wine. They children have some dinner follwer family dinner and solf drink . We every quite

Was a lovely time cheeky drink in the beer garden on a sunny day will definitely have to go back, Try the food

My husband and I have eaten here several times and are never disappointed with the build your own burger! It is always absolutely delicious. The fries are always hot and the perfect texture. I love their onion rings, they're the best I've ever had. The Jamaica sauce, I can't quite remember what it was called exactly, on the chicken wings is fantastic. The prices are very reasonable as well!

Locals type pub with sports on tv .

Fabulous food a little slow service, but we are happy to wait as it came out with friendly smily face with a thank you for waiting. We was worried on 1st visit but never been let down 👍🏼 try it !

It was normal pub food, with a few additions. One or two new items to me.

Lovely little pub. Great food. Good value

Really enjoyed our burger meal, all cooked beautifully

Helpful staff, good food and drink at sensible prices. Well worth visiting.

Good food - quiet during afternoon Women's toilet needs work - not pubs fault it the clientelle- repair and tissue replacement

Last minute booking for 10 , really glad they could fit us all in . Lots of screens to watch the football on and place was clean . The food is the standard green king menu - very good prices as always

Nice pub good prices good atmosphere

Very helpful staff, had my mums wake here and the Buffett was brilliant

Absolutely great. Bar staff was very kind and outgoing to help with everything. The food is a great price. Really enjoyed. They finish serving food VERY early so we won't be able to go again as they are not that local. Thank you! Top marks and also love the music and darts!

Good food and quick. Great price

Good pub. Good selection of drinks

I came to the clocktower today and was served by a lovely man called Andy....who was very professional and welcoming I ordered the vegan filets and my partner ordered the hunters chicken, both cooked to perfection and they were amazing. Complements to the chef. We will be retuning.

I have just returned from enjoying an evening meal with 3 friends. It was my first visit & I am an extremely fussy eater. My quorn meal was absolutely delicious, & the other 3 meals looked amazing & I’m ensured they tasted as good as they looked. The prices were so affordable, service was spot on and we will definitely be returning…. Thank you.

Friendly and caring staff Made you feel really welcome

It's a locals pub Friendly staff d Good atmosphere

As schools on strike bought my daughter for lunch at the clock tower. Daughters Steak was cooked perfectly rare by John, always rely on his expertise in the kitchen and this is all backed up with Natasha who runs the front of house with a smile and great service. Great team and defo be back. Thanks guys

Good pub for sports fans. TV's all over the place. Great selection of beers. Only called in for a few beers on the way to football. Will do likewise again

Am impromptu lunch date . Great table service from Natasha and Jane and fresh, tasty well cooked food from Ben.

Natasha is very nice cheerful and polite she’s quick and makes lovely drinks! 😉 The foods really nice and prices are so good! One of our favourite places to go for lunch.

Well where do I begin the staff are fantastic they go above and beyond to cater for every one needs the food is lovely and it is the best pub for going to watch sports and the atmosphere in the pub is awesome I am proud to have this pub as my local.

Last week decided to go to the clock tower with a few friends and our children for a mid week meal, upon our arrival we was greeted with a friendly smile, she introduced herself as Jane and took care of us throughout our visit, I was most impressed by how accommodating and understanding Jane and Jon were, lovely family friendly pub would highly recommend

Clocktower (Clocky) is truly an unmatched pub. It's got everything; great pint selection, live sports for all occasions and not to forget the staff - easy enough to say they make the place and it wouldn't be the same without them. Jane behind the bar, Ben in the kitchen. Rest assured, you're in safe hands if you come to clocky

Often go to the clocktower with my mates. Veronica behind the bar is always so friendly and delivers exceptional service. Food is pretty good too.

Just started drinking in the clocktower after moving to the area. I have to say the service is always impeccable and the staff are wonderful every visit! Just come back from there this evening after a lovely meal served by Jane. Perfect as always

Just bn told 1 hour wait 4 food ! Ok I can work around that ! Now bn told the kitchen can’t do me a slice ov toast with my all day breakfast!! Pubs are struggling !! Well they don’t do themselves any favours do they ???? Walked out

Went for a meal on Thursday 19th January and the food and service was excellent, very happy with our experience

Been to the clocktower for a drink and a meal natasha served us extremely helpful allways smiling lovely meal and as all ways here the service is brilliant

Very poorly ran pub the manager doesn't seem to care about the staff or what's going on. Today boxing day 22 a massive day for football and they closed at 7pm because of lack of staff, the lovely lady behind the bar could not apologize more about it. We all know people get sick or whatever it was due to but on a boxing day you make sure you have enough staff to cover things. This is not the first time it's closed early the manager likes to shut it early as he doesn't want to be there past a certain time even when it's busy as a local I want to support my local. Plus he has sent away entertainment even when they have turned up. This place used to be fantastic but since the new manager it's gone to pot. As a local I support my local but hard to do at times. The staff are amazing at what they do and always so friendly but management needs to be sorted out. Boxing day 22 is when they lost 2 to 3 grand easy and a lot of loyal people.

Great place to go for a nice vibe.

3 of us had a cracking meal here. Gammon & Chips, Chipshop Special and a Double beefburger. Well cooked, flavoursome, hot, couldn't fault any of it. The staff were absolutely excellent. Friendly and professional, they made the evening. 2 locals offered to help my elderly mother-in-law as we were leaving. I can't recommend this pub highly enough.

Decent pub with everything you'd want in a pub nice selection of drinks, plenty of seating inside and out, few TVS for the sports and reasonable prices. Was pleased to see booking tables for the World Cup to avoid disappointment

Great ambience and friendly service will be back again 👌

Nice pub. Went for a lunch with my work mate and we loved it. Chicken wings was realy nice, with nice peri peri sauce, Hunter fries and onion rings. I will definitely be back with more colleagues on Friday for a few beers and big plate of wings!! See you soon!!

Brilliant. Staff are extremely nice friendly people. And hard working, food is excellent.

Sports pub with value. Loads of parking and very accessible. All sporting events shown with lots of fruit machines and a dedicated darts area. Good sized paved rear garden area. Large menu of standard pub grub, all tasty and hot at a good price. Staff always friendly.

Really good pub for whatever occasion. Has multiple screens for football with a good atmosphere, also really good food for a good price. Would recommend

Looks old and tied with wooden garden benches indoors

Sunday roast…. I, like others in the pub on the day left most of my plate….carrots-raw, broccoli- equally awful, roast potato’s would have been ok had I had them a day earlier. Yorkshire pudding felt like I was eating a tyre. A completely forgettable experience.

Called in for lunch on Sunday and pleasantly surprised. Hard working and very pleasant staff, clean pub and very event grub for 4 adults and a child. Will definitely be going back in the future.

It would be nice to see the work as hard as the assistant manager.

Just waited nearly 20 minutes to be served. Pub almost empty. Bad management

We had a great time at lunchtime today, good food, nice pub atmosphere, decent food which was tasty and actually hot (not warm like other places!) We had the All Day Breakfast, which was on a deal of two for £11.99,what you got what a decent hearty portion,lovely sausages(!) I'll definitely be going back!

We enjoy our trips to the clock tower every time. Staff is super friendly and helpful. It's always clean and tidy and the food is yummy.

Just wanted to say what a lovely pub this is. We’ve had lovely service on the past two times we’ve been here, first time by benji and Sarah who both went above and beyond made sure we had everything we needed, so thank you both...

It was good, food was good , service was good staff were friendly

Best place in Milton Keynes to go. Lovely staff especially a lovely young woman named Jade who helped us all, seated us and was so polite. Best bar woman I've seen in so long. Good job Jade, keep up the good work!

After seeing numerous good reviews we decided to give it a go and popped for lunch today (25/08) We weren’t disappointed, we were served by the Amazingly bubbly Natasha who couldn’t do enough for customers The food was tasty and good quality with great portion sizes - I couldn’t finish mine so my son helped out even after demolishing his huge triple burger!! Great place and we will return

Was served by Veronica, amazing service, we don’t come into the clocktower a lot but will 100% be coming back, have not been in here for about 10 years beforehand due to reputation, but will definitely be going back! Thank you Veronica!

I visited on Wednesday 17th August and had a great meal , the two ladies Veronica and Jane that served us, couldn't do enough to make sure our visit was exceptional. Thanks so much ladies.. looking forward to seeing you soon.
