JD Wetherspoons in Milton Keynes

I ordered the large breakfast, but it was disappointing. The portion of beans was laughably small—barely even half a spoonful. The toast was burnt around the edges but still soft and barely toasted in the middle. And the fried eggs were so overcooked they were practically solid, making them difficult to eat. Quite a letdown overall.

Cold burger and chips, wouldn't recommend this at all.

Iys a wetherapoons cheap beer food is never hot at any of these and just mediocre

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. STAFF WERE INCONSIDERATE AND EXTREMELY RUDE. Will not be returning again. AVOID!!!

A great place if you want to eat typical English things. I was amazed, good beer and good food.

The beer selection has improved considerably over the past couple of years and the food quality has also improved by a good margin. Having online ordering means no need to fight for space at the bar. Several years ago I wouldn't have recommended going here but now I would.

Did not dine but atmosphere was good. Did take a while to be served at the bar.

Went on a Thursday lunchtime, and it was very busy food was OK but could have been better. Tables were not clean when we went in and had to move a load of plates before we sat down. When our food did arrive they still didn't clean the table until we asked.

You know exactly what you are going to get with a Wetherspoons for breakfast!

We didn't have food but a great pub. The security guard was really efficient so felt really safe

Nice place to spend a day with some friends and a pint

2018: Very good range of real beers, but venue can lack atmosphere 2022:. Nothing much has changed in four years, still best range of real ales in city. Still lacks atmosphere. Good value! Staff are great as well. 2024: Still the same - all the above still applies

Had a lovely meal when it arrived the server said sorry we have no peas so said I can get you some mushrooms so I said okay, just as I was Finishing my meal they brought my mushrooms 🤣😂🤣 Well should I say mushroom ❗

A brilliant breakfast every time

Standard spoons fare. Couple of drinks and scampi and chips. All good.

It was good very busy but still good service food came fast and was still good thought about going again last night but didn't want to walk back up the hill to the hotel lol

Nice spoons this one close to the station. It does tend to get very, very busy late afternoon/early evening, especially at weekends. For those who know MK’s history, the pub has that unique contemporary style about (you’ll find very few old buildings in MK - or the ‘new town’ as it was once known. It also has MK’s efficiency about it, with toilets on the same Level as the bar!! Food/beer/service is the usual excellent spoons standard and decent fast free wifi too. Very clean, lots of ales on. If you are down for football or an event at Stadium MK, there is a convenient bus stop directly outside the pub, where the X1 coach stops and takes you directly to the stadium for £2, bargain! For the return leg, look across the road when you get off the coach and you can take the X1 back to pub for a pint, again, all for just two quid! Enjoyed my visit to this one. 👍

Pleasant Spoons with easy parking for a quick drink. Good selection of keg and cask beer. Real ale in good condition. Very tidy for a Spoons, no plates left on tables.

Nice pub in "the hub" Milton Keynes. Quiz going on which is unusual in a weatherspoons but not overly disruptive and actually easy to join or take part. Server arguing with me, apparently the tilll is different to the menu and she didn't understand what I was saying. Walked off to help a colleague without any apology to me. Food delivered quick and hot and get what you pay for. Overall good night, average food, been to better for similar prices. Would return and recommend though.

It's. Wetherspoons, but the location is great, first time in Milton Keynes and though it was a special place!

Breakfast was poor,overcooked egg,toast without butter,not very hot! Staff at the front of house were efficient and friendly.

Nice pub, but found it noisy for me, no quiet room. But then again i was there just after 6 so it wad busy and packed just mange to find a table. Parking is good.

We enjoyed breakfast at a great cost.

Always nice luke warm food available! Too many tables makes it difficult to move around and spoils the atmosphere 😔

depending on staff capacity, great or ok staff

Can get quite busy but using the app for service is usually a good idea. Good selection of ales.

Large 'Spoons which happens to be on the way up from or down to the train station. Stopped for a swift and a bite and it's OK. A strange mix of panelled room, raised area and late 80's glazed exterior to match every other squat building in Milton Keynes. Staff young and keen but this particular spoons needs a cohesive refresh.

Very good service very good on food

Excellent as always, very reasonable and tasty lunch

Gets busy but service and food was great. Definitely visit again.

Felt a bit like an airport spoons

Consistency is awesome with Wetherspoons. Friendly and helpful team in this location.

Very average. Titanic Porter is always good. But no ice for the Aperol Spritzer? That's poor

Standard wetherspoons, no complaints!

Always great at a spoons. What value!

Usually really good but on this visit 31/8/24 there was no beef burger for the Tennessee burger and no fried egg on the all day brunch, given scrambled instead!

Always a good breakfast from here

Missed requested additonal ingreedient from the burger. Other than that the food was good.

Catching up with a mate. Perfect for a quiet pint.

One of the better places and the fish n chips was better than other spoons I have used.

As far as spoons go, pretty good, the service is always quick, and of good quality There is sometimes trouble getting seated, but otherwise very good

Usual Spoons, nice atmosphere. Eat or drink in or out. Street parking

Nightmare getting served, loads of staff as well. The worst 'steak' I have ever received. Nice in the sun, get the app and order early

Nicest spoons ive been in in ages. Staff are so friendly and polite. Security are really on the ball. Prices are great and the food was lovely.

The best pubs in the world: cheap, large, and - best of all - without pop music playing.

What can I say, it's a spoons, can't go wrong

Exactly what we needed when we needed.

It's a Weatherspoons. Nothing special.

Great atmosphere big crowd having a beer or two before going to festival

First time at a Wetherspoons. No glasses offered with bottled water served at the bar, they had run out apparently. Ordered Panini with fries, very bland and no side salad. Had to get our own sauces. Absolutely no service from the server (who looked miserable) will never return!

Great place and prices you can afford for a good quality meal and a drink.

Food is typical pub food but lovely! And such good value for money! Drinks are also so well priced you absolutely can't go wrong!

Good prices but there was a fight when we were there

The food was poor. Not good examples of vegan friendly food.the burger was dry, and there wasn't much guacamole or salsa in it. My boyfriend had vegan curry, and the rice wasn't well cooked, and the naan was hard and crispy. Naan should be soft and delicious. Really wasn't impressed with the food at all.

Rare spoons with no stairs to the toilet

Really reasonable priced food and drink with great deals.

Can't fault a Spoons. Big place with enough seats. Fast, easy ordering via the app. Was there early eve so no wrong uns knocking about either 👍

I have going to this place since the day it opened two . Thankfully nothing much has changed. We have been holding our Fantasy Football auction here for over two decades which we describe as the best night of the year. Don't expect real gourmet food but the beer is cheap and the food is good.

Came for a drink and food after a day with my mum and we had one issue which was quickly resolved. Ryan was lovely and helped us deal with it and was very accommodating afterwards. Thank you so much Ryan 🫶🏻

Ryan, the duty manager, made our visit here really special after an error in service could have made it not a good one. He went above and beyond to rectify the situation and gave us diligent attention and made sure that we felt taken care of and had the best time. I don’t often get to spend time with my daughter but he really made it a great visit. Thank you Ryan.

I visited the nearby Premier Inn after booking the incorrect Avebury Blvd hotel and was annoyed at first as I assumed there was only the Moon Under Water in MK. So once I realised this was close by my error was relegated to a minor mistake. A large spoons with lots of seating and even had a quiz night.

Usual mixture of good food and value pricing. Not enough staff at the bar but they hope that will make you use the app I suppose. Better on the latest visit. Must have managed to hire more staff, it was busy, but still good service and the staff were friendly and helpful. Update 20/7/24 : Still good and exceptionally good value on drinks. One third of the price of other local pubs. One customer ahead of me bought a round of drinks (three 1pint beers, and the total was less than £5!! ) the customer couldn't believe it and commented loudly to all at the bar. If you're a drinker, you'd be mad to go anywhere else.

This place has been very busy on my two visits, The service from the staff is very good. The food is very good. The wait times for food are not very long, considering the place was very busy (not more than 10 minutes). Using the app to order is really easy. The Atmosphere pleasant.🙂

Went here during the football semi-final, despite the pub being full I was served straight away and ordering on the app was also quite quick

Good choice of beers and tried the new crispy chicken burger and pint. Really good value for money. Just think the place needs a uplift as now looking a little dated.

Did not change the opening times! It does not open at 10 anymore it’s 12! UPDATE YOUR TIMES

A great pre drink to Silverton. Friendly crowd, very good service.

Nice selection of beers, very friendly and helpful staff. Amd the clientele were very friendly too.

Went there to watch the football, although watching the football on the projector screen wasn't great it was a good night with great atmosphere

Menu has got a lot more expensive recently for no difference in quality or amount. Tennessee burger ordered but had to pay additional for the tennessee sauce (the only thing that actually sets it apart from a normal burger on the menu) won't make that mistake again

Order piri chicken got lemon chicken instead and told it was same thing but bonus I got piri sauce to cover it with attitude to cover it over 🤮 Onion rings delivered cold and Mgr with attitude delivered others quickly launched onto table again with attitude she must have had busy say 🤬🤬 No way to be role model to your staff and yes I did notice you laughing when you were told

Crowded on a Friday afternoon. Very noisy. Prices are good and food quality is moderate. Ok for the city if you are on a tight budget

Love this local pub. Great central location, good prices, nice and cosy place for a pint or two!👌😉 😀 👍

Say what you want but Wetherspoons does what it says on the tin!

Food was alright but rude customer service.

Nice, food is priced as it should .

Very grubby outside. Staff so slow at serving .wouldn't eat there

Didnt eat just a couple of beers with family

Went with my daughter although pub was busy got a seat easily. Ordered food and drinks via the app and they arrived very quickly. Food hot and tasty and at a great price. Even showing the football.

I try to spend no further money here and regretfully fall to social pressure occasionally. May this franchise wither.

Pleasant lunchtime birthday drink for a friend's birthday. Bit of inconsistency with bar staff who served people who walked straight up before those who were already waiting but a few words resolved the issue

Large break fast was really nice tbh

Helpful staff, food was plentiful but a little on the dry side. Will give it another try next time I'm in town. Relaxed atmosphere, very airy restaurant. Plenty of tables and on third visit the food has improved. Chips are still not brilliant

Tried some San Miguel tap beer 5/5 - Affordable pricing - lively atmosphere - open late

Always of a standard but sometimes the customers can let the place down.

Absolute sweetheart Jess made sure we were okay when approached by stranger thank you for noticing x

Been here as a stop off to London.

Couldn't eat the food, I ordered beans on toast, the beans had been watered down so often they had no flavour the sauce looked and tasted like orange water, the bread was also tasteless and was very, very cheap. However, service was friendly and efficient, parking is just outside for £2 an hour. I think the management is pushed so hard for 600-800% profit, that they have to source the cheapest stuff that has the appearance of food, so that eventually the business will have to diversify. Or fail. I won't be coming back, my last meal here was the full breakfast, again lukewarm, tasteless. I've tried.. twice

Great Food Great Prices as Always.

Souless, it's cheap but you get ok food. The problem is, and this seems to be with every spoons is how hit and miss they are with the temperature of the food. Usually some of it is piping hot and on the same plate something (usually the bacon) is stone cold, there's no reason why food should be presented in this way.

Cheap food and pints. Does a good job

This is good for a Weatherspoons. Food is always out on time and never had a problem with any of it. Drinks availability is good and staff are polite

Just a one of Wetherspoon's pubs,. Quite busy with a lot od seating outside on sunny days.

You always know what to expect from a Wetherspoons. This one was nice, spacious and very clean. Nice outdoor space too. Food and drink ordered on the app and served pretty quick. Large toilets (would you believe not up any stairs?!) and some nice artwork on the ceiling.

You cant go wrong with a spoons,i travel all over the country for varying reasons and i always look for a spoons..never a complaint

Always a good people watching spot

Apart from a sticky table everything was great!! Happy, well fed customer!

I go regularly because I know that I get for my money and is a good place to be on your laptop 💻 do some work. A question we are very concerned about the business but why no one is asking the employees what they think about the business?

Spoons is spoons. They forgot my drink so I had to chase that up but it is what you would expect

Service slow. Beer less than average. Didn’t eat any food. Good for a late night drink.
