Eager Poet in Milton Keynes

We picked here for our family early Christmas lunch this year. Love it here because the chef is very good (have been a few times now - burgers are always spot on!) staff are friendly and the atmosphere is so relaxed inside too! Thanks again

A pleasent enough pub, nothing that stood out. Staff very friendly, food good value. Would go again

One of the members of staff was rude to my brother at the Milton Keynes pub. This happened on the 29/11/24, and there were two girls who were working at the time. One is called Sammie, but it wasn't her who was rude it was the other one. My brother suffers from anxiety, and she was just stuck up and showed no consideration in her performance to anyone. I'm not happy about this and would appreciate it if people make more effort to behave professionally in their job!

As a single vulnerable person I attended this venue,I was welcomed with open arms and treated very well.Ashleigh and Susane bent over backwards for me to make sure I was satisfied.Thankyou so much, Canarien mick x

Racists Rude horrible people horrible experience do not enter should be closed down!

Great value food and drink. Lovely staff too very welcoming and engaging feels like a real pub! Like in the old days!

This is our 2nd vist to Eager poat in neathill the food was not very nice again my sisters beef was like old shoe leather. The staff was rude did not even know what an Irish coffee was I can say I will never go there again

Very friendly pub and lovely food

Bartenders chef owner landlady, super friendly food really good build your own burger and a chicken mix is lovely and banging. This is just what I want to say. Thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️ From Mason

Katsu curry with a side of banter

I went to Eager Poet with 11 other friends and we had a lovely time… food was excellent albeit a little slow.. the service was great and couldn’t do enough for us. 1 friend arrived a little late and couldn’t order any food but the did make her a bowl of chips. We will definitely be back 😊

The food here is top standard! It's served hot and tasty with about a 20 minute wait but it's so worth it! Great drinks deals and a nice outside area. Inside is very hot and stuffy as the windows don't open which made us feel abit sick hopefully some fans will be put in. Staff are great 👍

Very good service Excellent food

Great pub, I can't stand Kit-Kat, though 🙄

Went to the pub twice with my husband. First time we had mac and cheese with salad and a burger, second time we tried the pies and muzz sticks. Both times everything arrived hot and delicious. The staff is very kind and the vibes were great. We loved it.

I was up the pub about 1,30 weeks ago and I had the alday breakfast and it was great , the service was top of the game. Plus they went out of the way to help me as I'm partly sighted and just getting over a stroke what a great place it is are be go back with the wife very soon . Well done team . 👍😋

My first visit for over 40 years and the darts board I used to play on is still here ! Nice pint of GK IPA and reasonably priced pub grub. A lively sports bar.

I was really excited to watch the Fury V Usyk fight at Eager Poet on 18.05.24 - as were my group of friends. I called the pub on 5th May and was asked to call back as the bar was busy. I duly called back an hour later and booked a table for four - my details were taken i.e phone number etc. I then called again on 11th May to ask about food on the night and was told I had no booking! So, yet again my details were taken including my phone number and it was confirmed that my table was booked! Due to my previous experiences, I called the establishment again on 14th May, to check my booking.....third time lucky?! NOT!!! I was told there was no booking but now I could book a table but would need to leave a deposit. I have no problem in leaving a deposit. However, could a representative not call me back - to relay this information and to take my booking?! Especially since I had called twice before and left my details - as it was evident that I really wanted to book a table! From 5th -14th May and 4 calls later, I was no further forward!!!!! Needless to say, we did not watch the fight at Eager Poet! Disappointing and 0 for customer service, from us!

Four for Sunday roast, excellent and the staff were most welcoming, thank you

I only went in for a drink but the staff were very friendly and will be going back to try the food.

Ash and Suzanne were top quality staff, very friendly and spot on service!

Great for pool, well maintained equipment. Food was pretty considering price point. Staff couldn't be more helpful. :)

Food was nice. Staff were friendly.

A very pleasant place, nice outlook and a lovely friendly atmosphere inside.Food us delicious and the chef and staff are excellent 👌

The Great pub food & drink are very nice And the pool table is not bad. Very friendly atmosphere

Friendly staff , good hot food.

Great little pub staff very good and food is nice and tasty

Excellent price and service, the staff is very knowledgeable

Very good bar service and nice friendly atmosphere 👌

Haven't been here in years, decent menu, decent full English and hunters chicken, madri on tab is always a bonus.. will be coming back very soon

We had a wonderful afternoon with good food and music bingo which wad enjoyed by all of our party. Merry Christmas Thank you Amanda

My self and my sister have dinner every Monday and we love the friendly atmosphere especially good service from Samantha

Attentive staff great pub food and atmosphere. Yasmin who served us was super amazing and helpful. She was amazing can't say enough about her, helped alot especially as we had 2 kids with us.

My brother and I came to watch the football and found a nice seat straight away. We ordered the burgers which you can “build” yourself. I was expecting some cheap pub chain grub but it was like a gourmet burger. Delicious. And only cost a tenner with chips and onion rings, and my drink! Also plenty of screens for the football ⚽️

The Eager poet is my go to place for a warm welcoming pub which has great food - especially the build your own burger and the steaks. Lovely landlady too!

I have drank in the poet after work and always noticed the Sunday roast £11.50 for two and thought wow I wonder if that was acceptable, am NOT expecting it to be like the cross keys £37 for two meals or Blanc for £40 but if I wanted a Sunday off cooking and not worry about dressing up this had potential Well I can confirm if you are on a budget and you want simple food with excellent service I rate this place 10 out of 10 !!! Clean , acceptable food and a great pub , I would 100% go again with the wife knowing it’s clean acceptable and does a job . With lovely staff . The lady behind the bar Chelsea I believe she was called was fantastic We had table 4 in the corner Sunday 19th around 12pm and she was fab

Lovely pub and great food at fab prices. Cant fault it at all and we’ll definitely be back. Staff were friendly and the service was great!

This is a sports pub so can be noisy. Food was good and very good value. Parking is shared with the shops. Will go again

Great pub, great grub, great service.

Super place to eat, Yasmin so friendly, polite, quick service ordered via the app, very welcoming with a great ambience. Chef Simon cooks food well is piping hot, nice plate full and very appetising, big outside drinking area, great bar staff and good prices on drinks & food too

Friendly pub, my partner and I ate here on a Tuesday night. Not too busy, I had the hunters chicken and an IPA, my partner had the chick n mix. Our host Yasmin on the bar was polite and looked after us very well, Simon in the kitchen cooked our food perfectly and we both enjoyed our meals. Greene King pubs are cheap and cheerful, that's exactly what we came for and exactly what we got.

Fantastic food and always accomodating with different sports being on

Run out of Sunday roast at 1pm on a Sunday Great organisation not impressed Nice pub cheap beers shame

Quality of food and service is magnificent, only issue is the strong pong of the toilets

Great drinkers / eaters pub. Ask the staff where the pub name came from. Outdoor bench seats need repinning or tightening though!

Bar staff are amazing! So friendly and up for a chat, within two orders our barmaid already had mine and my friends orders memorised. Feels like a proper local, good for a hangout with friends.

Its a pub. food is very good for the price.

Better than average pub grub, well kept real ale, a Greene King Pub with Old Speckled Hen and Green King IPA, they are delicious 95% of the time. 2 massive meals for under £11 during the week, real good value. EDIT: It should be know that the other 5% of the time, the ale is great! :) x

We went to the Egar Poet and it was not a nice atmosphere. We went because we know they have a pool table and we wanted to play a few games. We bought 4 rum and cokes and 4 shots of fire ball. This was between 4 people. After this, we played a game and then went to order another drink. They told us they would not serve us because we were too drunk. We explained we all had autism/adhd and maybe because of this we seemed a little more drunk. They still refused to serve us after we had multiple conversations were we were very clean and precise (not drunk). This bar tender didn’t offer for us to speak with a manager and made us feel isolated (there were far more drunk people in the pub) and forced us to leave. It started as a good evening but after this we will defiantly not be returning to Egar Poet.

The staff and management are really good from me having been in the bar trade

Great food served piping hot and a big smile from the waitress who was very hospitable.

Only one person serving. Half the menu unavailable. Food was quite nice. Good value.

Best KG pub for food and drinks.

Nice friendly atmosphere with a good selection of pub food at affordable prices. Toilets could do with a good clean though!

Had a really lovely meal with my elderly dad. Plentiful fresh and well presented. Very friendly staff too.

Grat pub, dog friendly, great staff and good food... what more do ya need

Alright place to stop for a pint whilst waiting to pick up takeaway from nearby restaurants.

Very nice and fast service good food

Really enjoyed this place. Nice staff, cheap drinks

Went for a roast dinner but had run out of most of the menu by early afternoon and very under staffed

Good atmosphere, very polite and pleasant staff, typical pub food, but to a good standard.

Great local pub, The food is great and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Good food and service.very pleasant atmosphere

I've been going to the Poet on and off since the early 90s. While it's seen many changes it remains fundamentally the same. Sports on the screens, good pub, good staff, reasonable food and interesting patrons. Today was quiet for a Sunday afternoon with back to back football matches. But just as good as ever.

A warm and friendly atmosphere,great staff great food ,Child/Dog friendly a great night out any day of the week

Warm friendly atmosphere, clean tidy and great value.

Three girls on bar bar last night was amazing great pub good vibes love it 😀 think there might of been a guy working lol. Food amazing I worked for Green king in the past these guys have it down to T

Friendly staff, good food,.good prices. We always visit here when we are in the area. Great pub. (We live on a narrow boat)

Great pub good environment and great food

Friendly landlady and cheap drinks

I used to have a beer in this pub many moons ago but after the last couple of visits i would not go back first its not that clean, the loos are disgusting and very smelly, the food is very bellow par with other pubs, the pub to be honest is very chavey, Now for the staff, i have never met such a insulting old hag of a land lady who runs the pub, so so rude for no reason, you will remember me lady as i would not put up with it and gave you better than you gave me, hence why you walked away with no reply, i guess thats why the pub is so chavey with some one like you in charge.

Great staff and generous portion of food

Lovely place! Delicious pub food, good prices and friendly staff. Gives off a cosy feel!

Friendly local, good choice of real ale, well priced.

We've just moved into the neighborhood, been there with the family a few times and it was brilliant good food, drinks and service all in all proper British pub

Nice place with good value food

Great pub, lovely staff, place to meet friends, food delicious and reasonably priced, always clean. Would recommend x

Not pretentious or fancy, Just good service & a good selection of drinks on offer. Perfect pit stop before going into or coming back from town.

Brilliant food, decent price and friendly staff, I highly recommend 👌🏻

Came by on a Sunday evening for a few drinks and game of pool. Friendly enough crowd and staff very welcoming. Didnt eat but I could see food being served. Looked nice so will be back for lunch/dinner.

Not the best pub I've been to, but had live music that night and staff were nice. And they werent serving food at 9pm when we got there on a Saturday.

Brilliant atmosphere bar staff were all great. Very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Amanda was lovely, chatted with us. Food was excellent very well presented and good value for money

Good and friendly pub and good food

Poor food ,however they did try to make up for it

I don't mind the Eager Poet but the food isn't too great and it is rather cramped

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great beer with a lot of draft choice. We only had chips and the kids played pool (there's also darts). We sat inside and watched sports on a number of screens but there's also small garden outside.

Десет вида наливна бира (и сайдер), за всяка има различни чаши. Отделно бутилки и кен. Отлични пържени картофи. Няколко вида спорт на телевизорите и задължителните билярд и дартс. Е какво повече може да искате? А, да - има и маси навън. Големи компании, удобно и за деца.

Good service. Callum was friendly and very helpful. Deffo recommend :)

The food here is very good and a very good price too

Friendly service..Good food .Great value. Good ambience. Live music too once a month.

Nice pub with big screens and speakers for the sports! Their specials keep us coming back

Good pub to watch footy with nice atmosphere .. beer & food good 👍

Great pub. Friendly lady behind the bar. There's two pool tables and a dart board. We had the signature burger which was fantastic! Unfortunately the football was on the TV when we were there and it was turned up way too loud, so just 4 stars.

Very nice local pub with multiple screens

I've been here a few times now and always get welcomed with a smile by every team member I've encountered. The team are friendly and knowledgeable, nothing is ever too much hassle for them. Amanda the manager is fantastic and has impeccable service skills and most definitely shows the team how it's done. Will most definitely be returning for more top notch service from them all

Good prices, good staff, need new pool cues!

First time in this pub but I can say I'd re commend it good food god value for money and good service pleasant to eat and drink in

Staff were professional and friendly, didn't try the food however. One point, the gents toilets stank. Maybe that was a one off, but from about 7 to closing and the mens toilets were awash and far from fragrant

Great music mix. Rock to reggae on a Saturday night. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Good local pub that has decent prices for both food and drink
