Kiln's Kitchen in Milton Keynes

Great live music venue, went to see Ugly Kid Joe in August 24. The drinks were reasonably priced for a gig, I found the WCs to be clean enough, and the staff were polite and friendly. I arrived early and the car park was full, but there’s plenty of free on-street parking just outside. Entry was shambolic, a long, slow queue with people unsure if they were waiting for the bar or the main hall for the gig. Otherwise, 5 stars. Thanks for a great evening.

Went to MK11 to watch Ultimate Coldplay. Very good venue overall. There are two areas for live music, one in the main bar and a larger area at the rear of the venue. I would advise getting in the venue relatively early as the area is a L shape and there is not enough space for everyone to see the stage. I arrived a few minutes after the band started and had a slightly restricted first view for the first half. I would esttimate between 20 and 30 people would have had a restricted view so be warned. At the interval, the crowd dispersed and we were able to get near the front. Friendly staff throughout the venue and wait time at bars not too bad. Drinks prices are average in my opinion for such a venue. 2 pints of Madri and 2 vodka and lemonades was £24. The beer was good and enjoyable even out of a plastic glass. Venue slightly out of the way from central MK but we got an Uber fairly quickly afterwards. Stayed at Premier Inn, Willen Lake which was 10 mins away, I would recommend this.

Visited MK11 for Kickin' it Country Event. The venue needs a health warning, which is a shame as the event was very good. The ladies toilets' are disgusting. They smell and I don't think have been cleaned in a long time. In the event hall only 1 toilet out the 2 flushed and only 1 sink out of 3 worked. The toilet close to the garden smelt terrible by 9pm I couldn't even enter. They really needs to consider spending a little money on these areas, even if its paying a cleaner £15 an hour to mop the floors with bleach once a week! If you are considering eating there....I wish you luck.

Well, what a place, we went to see The Lottery Winners. The experience stated as we arrived, met by security who were brilliant and full of banter, went to the bar and was served quickly by very polite staff. The concert room was just the right size for the gig and everybody got a good view. I will definitely come back if another band I like play there. A little gem around the roundabouts in MK.

Attended the Bob Marley Experience concert. Band are brilliant and definitely worth a watch. In my opinion the organisation should have reduced capacity and charged more for the ticket as the place was dangerously over subscribed. Standing at the bottom of the stairs because nowhere to go we were constantly hassled by security to move, when we respectfully asked where we could go they marched us to the bar where you have no view of the band! The manner in which they conducted themselves was very heavy handed for an audience that was largely 60+! Lesson learned, won’t be going back 👎🏿

We went to see the Marley experience and it was way too crowded ! You couldn’t dance. Then around the corner where you could breath, you couldn’t see the stage?

Been coming here for years. The new venue in the old squash courts holds more people but if you go to the bar the sound suffers & no view as it's L shaped. Just a suggestion extend the building making it square & then put the bar on the back wall. Lower your drink prices a pint of Cider & pint of coke over £10

Good place for live music but could be so much better! Toilets are a shambles and only one ladies and a disabled working. Also the drink prices are crazy! £8 for a small Prosecco!! That’s £2 more than anywhere else! Get a grip guys and improve the facilities and charge normal prices please!!

We went there on a Tuesday night, which happened to be a jam session and it was amazing! Great beers, food and incredible atmosphere. A must-do when in Milton Keynes

Went here for the Mexican festival Cinco de Mayo! Good atmosphere, great drinks and courteous staff! We had good fun!

It's not a place you'd ordinarily you'd go with a family but it's pleasant enough and we are close by. The chicken wings were quite blackened and were drowned in the sauce. Portions a tad small and generally just below par on previous visits. Used to have a couple off interesting ales on but on a Saturday afternoon they only had Doom Bar on and then that ran out and it was going to be half an hour before the Tribute came on. It's still a great place to watch sport and see bands but I'll pass on eating there for a while.

Awesome club, great crowd ,lovely bar staff will definitely go again.Small venue but great sound system.

Cracking place with great food and drink choices. Always showing the big games and put on awesome gigs. Best bar in MK

I went specifically for the Storyville Jazz, had a burger before the music started which was delicious albeit slightly pricey, the band was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I will definitely go again. My only complaint is that I know it's a sports bar, but having the TVs going with football on during the band's set is not good, I feel they should be switched off during live music. Also there were only about 6 parking spaces which i thought was a bit odd, it's possible there was another car park but I didn't see it signposted.

Spent last Sunday evening at the infamous MK11 Club in Milton Keynes watching the Absolute Bowie Tribute. The venue has great beer and a great atmosphere that fails to disappoint on every gig I've attended there. Friendly staff on both the door and bar. One of my favorite Venues.

Great food all round and reasonable prices. Also great to watch sports, although make sure you check the events schedule before visiting because you may be disappointed if you looking for a lively atmosphere, depending on the event they have on.

i noticed a band that i wanted to go see where playing here so booked tickets online (very simple). easy to find venue with lots of car parking out the front. on entering you soon realise this venue has a lot more to offer than just a place to see a band - feel free to explore thier website. beer prices pretty reasonable and not too much of a wait to be served. the gig area is a nice size, not too big and not too small. you can see the stage from wherever you stand. great sound too, i was very impressed. all in all a great little venue, well worth a visit. everyone was so friendly

A truly weird and most unpleasant place which is a real shame because the bar staff are very friendly and helpful, it’s in a great location with h a shortage of other sports bars and the food is ok too. So what’s the problem then?? Well it’s a biggie... Upon entering the establishment, which I did for the first time on 29th October 2018 and again last night on 6th November, I was told the main bar was out of bounds - last week with a live comedy act and last night with a live band (neither of which were very talented by the way) so I had to use the “Lower Bar” to watch the Champions League Football. Here’s where the massive problem comes in. Whether you like it or not, and if you are a non-smoker you will not... the lower bar is home to the biggest electronic cigarette shop I have ever seen and is full of people “Vaping” inside who blow out huge clouds of nicotine filled smoke constantly. I left there with my lungs burning with a bad cough. When I asked how this was legal they assured me that it was and the young man defiantly informed me that the Vape shop was his business. I asked him why it wasn’t made clear to visitors that e-cigarettes are smoked on the premises he said it was the job of MK11 sports bar and not his job. In summary if you don’t practice the dirty habit of sucking back smoke then avoid this place like the plague.

watched Big Country here and what a great night . really small but really fab place for a concert had a great night. free car park , really good access it was a fab place would go to another event here. recommended .

Came down here to watch Summerslam on the big screen. A different and unhostile atmosphere compared to a lot of sport bars in the North, was a nice night out....except the gents toilet. One toilet to a large number of drunken dudes is a recipe for disaster. Especially on the nostrils. Literally had to leave because I needed a massive poo and didn’t fancy a behind covered in many men’s fluids. Great courtyard though.

Being a massive live music fan and appreciating great bands, I had the opportunity to visit the MK11 Sports Bar and Music Venue for the first time last Friday. WOWWWW ! Why had I not been there before !! I was fortunate to see the fantastic WRONG JOVI in this great venue. Service, beer, food and music all first class. A credit to the management. 10/10 for a great night ! Doug

the wings are amazing, the fries are amazing, the brie bites are amazing and the bar staff are amazing. woooo

I go here regularly for a catch up with mates, either for live bands, dj sets, sports etc. The range of entertainment keeps us coming back. The venue is very spacious with many different areas to suit your mood. The staff are super friendly and service is generally fast (dependant on capacity). The food is also good for the price. Amazing venue. Highly recommend.

Visited this venue to see my favourite band Ezio play. It was easy to find, plenty of parking, really friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely return, so many places have downsides as a venue but this really didn’t have any that I could find

Great music, superb beer, good times! Tiny Rebel Marshmallow Porter? Hard to find delight! Def Leppard? Come on!

Went here Friday night to see roddy radiation, fab night great to get right up the front and get very close to the band. Great atmosphere. Great selection of drinks. Didn’t have any food but it does look good, will be back soon, looks great place to watch the footie of rugby.

Visited MK11 for the first time on Friday 2nd Feb 2018 to see Mr Tea and The Minions, supported by Billy Nomad and the Common Army. We'd seen Mr Tea and The Minions at the River Cottage Festival last year and they were great - and they were just as good at MK11 - a stomping balkan ska performance of epic proportions! Overall the music. lighting, sound, crowd and facilities were all excellent - and the staff there were very good, friendly and competent - so we'll definitely be back.

Recently moved here and was looking for friendly place, awesome beer, good vibes and this place had it all.

I am a regular visitor to MK11 on Tuesdays enjoying a couple of drinks not knowing who will appear on stage on the open mike weekly sessions. Some nights are terrific with great musicians assisted more often than not by the excellent house band Jukebox or OFITG. Sometimes a new band takes the whole stage for 2 or 3 songs which you may like or dislike. There are a few frequent guitarists that play rock and that can leave a smile on your face. A really friendly place but be prepared also for some acts that you might be wondering why you are there - you just don’t know but that’s also part of the appeal. Free entry so that’s a plus nowadays.

Once a month the exceptional House band play with a guest performer on a Wednesday evening. The drums and percussion are exceptionally good as are the Sax, Double Bass, guitar and Keys. You must visit to appreciate. Full bar and ample seating available. Easy parking.

I am a regular visitor on Tuesday nights from 8:30pm until close at 11:00 because they have a live band ( Jukebox mainly ) with miscellaneous singers and musicians taking to the stage, sometimes solo but usually replacing a band member to do their stuff. The majority of guests play 2 songs and Jukebox do their best to compliment the artist. On a good night there are a few super talented musicians that play a couple of rock classics and more often than not just join the band on stage. When this takes off it is fantastic but on the odd evening you may wonder why you are there !

A gin festival was on the go so for sure my friend and I were paying it a visit, I have never been to MK11 before and I was not sure what to expect.

Didn't hear about this place til recently but a must visit place. Live music, great staff, friendly people and a...

Came to try out the Wings Wednesday deal. Which was amazing. They had a great choice of beer at a...

We enjoyed our visit for a private party, it was a great venue the drinks were reasonable and the outside...

Recently visited MK11 with friends to watch a tribute band, this place is a hidden gem. Nice beer garden in the centre, great atmosphere, friendly bar staff and a good varied selection of craft beer on draught and in bottles, no Bacardi tho which didn't fool the missus. Not much seating but who cares when you go to watch music. This place isn't just a music venue and has a full and varied calendar, check it out.

Nos encanta este oasis de música en vivo, ver la obra de banda regularmente la casa de jazz con algunos de saxophonists top de este país, percusionistas, pianistas, guitarristas, reproductores de lubina y cantantes. Una gran acústica.

An ad hoc visit to an unknown place and what a fantastic find it was.No chain, no sleazy gimmick, no bad attitude.It's basic, no glitzy, but its relaxed, has a great party feel. We went on a rum and reggae night, the dance floor was full with an eclectic group, all mixing, having a great time and engaging.The bar staff were great, the choice of gin was stupendous, but that leads to having a few to many!!! But well worth it.For a different night out in MK, away from the chain pubs, attitude!!!, arrogance and over prices go here and just let your hair down.

I thought this rough pub would not have good food but although simple it was good and had good live music ..I would recommend it

Been here a few times in the evening to see a live band. Great time to be had for not a lot of money to hear live music. Staff are friendly and efficient behind the bar even when busy!

Another great night at this venue. They started their monthly comedy night tonight. Got there nice and early at 19:20, ordered some food and grabbed some seats. Food was fantastic as always.People think burger and chips is just burgers and chips, but the ingredients and cooking here are just fantastic, my partner upgraded his "£3 comedy night burger special" tonight to £5 for some extra toppings, not expecting much more than just a tasty burger, but his dish was far superior to the specialise fancy burger places dotted around MK. Loads of choice on the menu for veggies and vegans too, top notch fries as well. Can't recommend the food enough. So the comedy night, free entry with 10 comedians onstage. Really high quality of comedian. Not exactly all to my personal tastes. But that's comedy for you, I belly laughed until I ached at others. MK11 encapsulates all you could want in a local, independent business, its run by two local brothers, who have turned the venue around and the interiors and courtyard into lovely spaces, friendly staff, serving great food, showing Sky and BT sports, offering snooker, pool, a vape bar and they cater their live music (and now comedy) to all types of fan. Live music and DJs there range from folk, to jazz, D'n'B, acoustic, rock, punk, metal and hip hop. Plus the awesome tribute bands they put on. I can't harp on about this venue enough! They cater for everyone's tastes and it's so friendly that you go there alone and make new friends easily. Support local business and check MK11 out. You won't regret it.

As a vegetarian, MK11 comes highly recommended from me! Their tofu ciabatta at their recent Faux Fest event was amazing. Thank you for proving decent vegan/vegetarian food.

Pete Pete burger must be tried , I am going back today to watch the rugby and to eat this again with sweet potato fries , it was exceptional.And the wurzels were fantastic.This venue is fantastic.

This place is off the beaten track and to be honest when we pulled up I thought it was shut, very bizarre to say the least? The door was a heavy duty secure door that just didn't look right. In fact we only went i as someone walked out and we could see the bar was in fact open. There appeared to be 2 separate areas, one which appears to accommodate "smokers" and is a semi outside area and another area where we watched the footy on a large screen. We only had one beer (nothing exiting on cask) and I noticed several "fruity" ciders on tap, maybe aimed at the younger end, not sure ? It appears that this place does love bands at the weekend as we noticed lots of indication that this was the case, i.e. Blackboard with a schedule list and postcards everywhere with bands on them. It's probably "Rockin" at the weekend but alas I'll probably never know. I suspect it would be a good night as the staff and clientele all seemed friendly.

This was my second visit to this venue last Friday night - went to see the band Toffees primarily but the other bands were good as well. We got there early to get some food before the music and were glad that we did - good value tasty food with a choice of burgers, hot dogs, sub sandwiches, nachos & fries. This is a very good small venue with a great chance to get close to the bands and enjoy live music. Will definitely be going back.

Will keep it simple: great food, great beers, excellent staff, great events and top football/ sports / music bar with their own spin on things. Beer garden, pool area, vape bar for those who vape and regular bands playing. 5 stars

I have been told on multiple occasions how impressive the food in MK11 is however I was left extremely disappointed. Ordering the Pizza fries and boneless wings I was of course surprised when the wings cake with bones and chips cold. On returning the food I was treated as if it was my fault! When returned the chips has clearly been put into a microwave for about 30 seconds and the wings had clearly been rushed as they we're not up to the standard I was expecting. However, an extremely good choice of beer. An the lady that served me at the bar was extremely pleasant and really improved the whole experience. Side note: If you are not keen on smoking or vaping this is probably not the best place for you.

Went here to meet friends and to watch the football. Get there early to avoid disappointment with seating. Great drinks deals and amazing style street food

Absolutely in love with this place and yet I've only been once. Went on 6/11/16 to see The King Blues... Amazing. The staff are friendly, great atmosphere Will definitely visit again. by Neil McCarty

Cracking music venue, bar and restaurant , great enthusiastic staff, good range of real and craft ales. A real bonus to MK

Love this venue. Come here occasionally during Tuesday open mic night and during festivals. Good chance to try amazing craft beers and ales as they often have special weekends/days going on. Make sure to come earlier on Saturday if some event is happening as they reach full capacity quite quick. Even during regular days it's awesome place to be. Rarely eat here but Blue Moon and Doom Bar are definitely my favourite drinks.

Been here man times and always a good night out. If you are looking for something alternative in MK this is the place to come.I has a cool house party vibe to it

Great for a good night out if you like music loud! Drinks reasonably priced although the white wine needs to be in the fridge for a good few hours before serving. Guiness however was good and well poured! Service was good too.

Great service, friendly peopleFantastic food and big portions served, one of the best burgers I had in MK.And - what a great choice of Ales they have!! :)

We visited as a group of 6 to watch Fleetingwood Mac; a tribute band, who were brilliant. The venue was buzzing, must have been close to capacity yet the service was good with care and polite staff. We did not eat but heard others comment that the food was good. We will return soon.

... organised a party last night to the "Funk Soul Brother #5 - St.Georges Day" special event DJ night playing music from the very best disco, funk, modern soul, jazz-funk and motown all night long.......unfortunately the event didn't even start for us veterans of the caister weekenders type style goers... the only soul the DJ's had is from the inside of their shoes....!!!It sounded like they're had purchased a bad batch of vinyl's from a car boot sale and thought it be clever playing all the unknown "B" sides...To be fair there were "OK" stint's however we're let down by the lack of their knowledge selecting songs that will keep "us" the audience dancing... (stop dancing and leaving as it was in our case).. :(Great customer bar service MK11 Sports Bar...Cheers... shame about the Funk Soul Brother #5 efforts at deejaying!!!

I love MK11, Simon and Marc who run it have completely turned the place round and work so hard to make the venue a success. It really does have something for everyone, if live music is your thing, they have everything from loud rock and punk gigs, to folk nights, reggae nights, acoustic afternoon sessions to banging DJ sets. If you like a large choice of drinks, from real ale, to speciality runs or wines, then MK11 caters. More recently they've made the venue a go-to for live sports too, not just football, but rugby, boxing and wrestling to name but a few. In the summer they open up the lovely courtyard, fire up the BBQ and it becomes a draw for couples, friends and families alike. They also serve good food, whilst it's a fairly simple menu, wraps, burgers, fries etc... The portion sizes and the flavour combinations are brilliant, it's very well cooked and the veggie options are amazing. One more thing I would say about this place is regarding the vibe. It's such a super-friendly and relaxed place, the staff are awesome, complete strangers talk to you and you could easily pop in there on your own and get chatting to anyone. If you've not been to MK11, you're truly missing out. Fab, fab place.

... Chicken wings are unbelievable! A must try (go with the original MK11?sauce ;-) ..) A great place to watch the football with super friendly staff. Best sports bar in MK!

Only one place to watch the Derby with my Geordie! So many screens, loads of seating and such a nice setting! I put up a review a while ago about how it would be nice to have proper cues and chalk and the manager Marc emailed me to say they have replaced it all, to their upmost credit they offered me a few games of pool for free when I came back in and they honoured it! Ordered the food, yes it's a bit pricey but the quantity of it alone and the quality more than makes up for it. Only place in MK I've been in where they serve blue moon with orange! Great place with a lot more warmth and hospitality than your average spoons or brewery pub. Can't recommend enough

This place has sprung up and back to life after years as an ageing sports and social club. It's now the most brilliant music venue with great food, atmosphere. Staff and owners are brilliant. It's a truly 'cool' place to be with a mix of people and ages from 18 to 80. It has loads of events and theme nights that give of a true feel of diversity. The owners have given it a rustic makeover that suits this old collection of barns with a great courtyard area in the middle. I would highly recommend it for a great night out!!

MK11 is a great place with character, good food and great beers.Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

I've been going to MK11 for a while now, so it's about time I wrote a review! Ths place is genuinely fantastic. I've been there for football and wrestling events, and the place is regularly busy. The owners, Simon and Mark, and the staff are warm and friendly, particularly their constantly chirpy barman James. The prices are very reasonable with new choices appearing regularly. The real winner though, is the food. Today I tried their new Jamaican Barbeque Jerked Chicken burger, which was out of this world, but the entire menu is packed with amazing choices - I've tried most of them - and it's not your usual pub fare, but a range of burgers, wraps and ciabatta sandwiches which are inventive, may seem a little strange, but I've not found anything yet which doesn't work. Their beef burgers are the best that I've ever tasted, bar none. My only issue is that I can't genuinely finish a burger and a portion of fries or sweet potato fries alone because it's too much food! I have more than a dozen pubs between MK11 and my house, but they're not comparable. Despite not really being a drinker, I'm a regular here, and I will be for a long time to come. I can honestly not recommend it enough.

Forget all the "plastic" pubs and bars that seem to be everywhere in Milton Keynes, this is genuine. Not old nor pretending to be, but thoroughly independent and unique.Taken there for lunch by son, who having discovered it about 6 months ago, has raved about it since, we were unsure what to expect - a lads' den maybe. But the interior is fabulous, use of cable drums as tables, and great use of wood on the walls. Son and husband loved the screens (we were there on a Saturday afternoon) for the sport, but - and this is where MK11 wins in my estimation over pubs showing sport and the ubiquitous Sports Bars - they weren't on too loud and didn't actually inhibit us chatting. We sat on very comfy armchairs round a cable drum table, husband could see rugby, son could see football but we could all chat, really a great atmosphere.The drinks on offer are amazing, craft beers, draught beers as well as the predictable ones (not too many of those thankfully). I was also offered a choice of red wine when I asked for a glass. The prices are reasonable too.The real star, though, has to be the food! Not a wide choice admittedly but what a choice. I had the Hoisin Duck wrap and it was crammed full of meat, home made slaw and salad, more than that though, so tasty. Side order of onion rings were amazing. I love onion rings but 9 times out of 10, you are given greasy, tasteless, processed substitutes. Not here, the coating is light but seasoned and delicious, fresh onion and the whole ring. Not usually a lover of BBQ sauce either, but I really enjoyed the dip with the onion rings. The guys had boneless chicken wings which again were thought delicious, the cheesy chips were fresh and devoured hungrily.The staff are so friendly and it is obviously they who create such a great atmosphere. From the layout, it is obviously made to be a music venue and I would expect it to really come into its own then, will try and get there to check it out for sure. The only downside as I could see, and it is probably as another reviewer said because it is independent and quite new so funding, was the Ladies. Functional and clean but in need of some maintenance and a little TLC perhaps. I am sure, though, that that will be addressed.Style wise this bar is Steampunk meets rustic meets almost going-round-a-mate's , very friendly, very individual and very welcoming. A 21st century Cheers?

Been meaning to pop in for a while , went on a Friday night , staff could not have possibly been more accomadating , after a bit of deliberation ,me and my wife tried there Aussie Burgers with fries and we added some Haloumi , all I can say is that there were delicious , loved the atmosphere of the place , we will 100% be returning , looking forward to seeing some live music there ,

MK11 is a refreshing change to any of the other bars my friends and I have visited in MK. It has a great alternative and laid back atmosphere, with one of the best selection of beers and ales (bottled and draught) around, complimented by a modern streetfood-esque menu. We primarily visit for the sports-bar element of the place, rather than the music venue side, and it has firmly become the main place for us to watch sports in MK. A multitude of TV’s, including the massive projector screen, and all the main sports channels mean you are surrounded with a choice of sports. The owners are also more than happy to put on any sport you want to watch. The bar did a great job with the rugby world cup, and with an Oktoberfest/Beer Festival last year as well! The separate snooker room with a couple of tables is a nice touch, and the layout of the place means it’s easy to find either a quiet place to sit and eat, or as a group watching sport/music. Although I’ve not been primarily to see any bands or performers, having been there on open-mic nights a couple of times, and seen other reviews on TA and Facebook though, it seems as good a music venue as a sports venue. + There are always a regular and wide choice of artists performing. The food as well definitely deserves credit! I was disappointed to see the hot-dogs taken off the menu at the end of last year (seriously – they were the best hot-dogs me and my friends have ever tasted!), but the burgers and sandwiches are all great, and they seem to keep trying new and exciting sides and dishes (fistful of bacon!!). A final word on the chicken wings (with their own MK11 coating) – Phenomenal!! We always have them and can never get enough. My friends and I have taken American and Canadian friends there who say they are better than any wings on either side of the Atlantic. Prices are great to. Both food and beer is very reasonably priced, and, like I said, the variety is right up there with the drink on offer. The only reason for the 4-out-of-5 is that some of the surroundings and furniture could do with updating, especially in the garden however this is not meant as a huge criticism. As an independent bar it presumably doesn’t have the large funds that a standard brewery-run or chain bar would have, and has to work bit by bit to get better and better. Which it is. Saying that, the use of cable drums as tables is a really nice touch, and great for sitting a large group around. It’s not been open for too long compared to other places, and doesn’t have the luck of being in the middle of a housing estate or in the town centre. As it gets more popular, I’m sure it will get the finishing touches it needs to make it probably the best bar in Milton Keynes for sports and live music. The ages of customers in there we’ve seen range from people in their teens to people in their sixties, and all in between. We’re all in our thirties, and in no way feel either too young or old for the place. Original and independent bars are few a far between in Milton Keynes, and even fewer can boast live sport and great food. Some pubs and bars in the older, original areas of MK (Stony, Fenny, Bletchley, etc.) are ok, but all quite similar (albeit with varying degrees of quality). Otherwise all the other bars and pubs (or mainly restaurants in CMK!) are standard ‘chain’ venues found in any town or city in the UK, without much originality. MK11 easily stands out as a great alternative for a fun and relaxed night out, and offers something slightly different to any other venue in Milton Keynes. The staff are all brilliantly chatty and friendly, and seem happy to accommodate in every way. Since we first visited back in the summer (2015), it has since become a regular for all of us for either a Friday or Saturday night out, or a weekend afternoon/midweek evening watching football. I really can’t recommend the place enough, and it deserves all the custom it gets to keep it going!!

Well and truly one of the best places I have ever been to. James the barman is very kind, welcoming and friendly so are the owners mark and Simon. If you want to go to a nice venue for live music/just a drink I would strongly recommended MK11

Spontaneous trip with some good friends to avoid the typical British weather and pleasantly surprised with this place! From the outside it doesn't look much but once inside I was pleased I came. We met a very friendly chat behind the bar and I found myself chatting away for a good while. After a few drinks we decided to order some typical pub grub but when it arrived I was flabbergasted. The Aussie burger is bloody massive and gosh darn delicious. Will be back...P.s get another pool table, these guys have been hogging it.

Unplanned visit with friends, good food, good beers on tap and friendly staff. Don't be fooled by outside appearance or location

Whilst the exterior is ok! The service, quality of food and atmosphere that awaits you inside is exceptional. I had the extreme pleasure to visit MK11 yesterday with friends and family after a long day in Milton Keynes. We were 12 in total including our children and we were made to feel very welcome. The Service was first class and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this venue.

We were the first customers there today, and were welcomed in by the barman. He went out of his way to talk to us and make us feel comfortable. Later, after he discovered that the chef was ill and not coming in, he multi-tasked to become the Chef, Barman and Waiter all in one. Enjoyable meal, filling and tasty.

Visited here for the first time Sunday to watch the north east Derby with my partner. Lovely little setting inside, really decent prices for drinks and I had the best sweet potato fries ever! The only gripe I have is we went to play pool after the match and the cues were broken and there were no chalk or darts, as a sports bar I really hoped they would have this basic. And clean up a bit in the courtyard. Other than that - perfect x

The food was simple and totally tastey, served in a great atmosphere by very interactive staff.The food was a lunchtime menu with different nationalities represented in the forms of classic and unique sandwiches with optional sides. Sweet potato chips were the best I have ever had.

Top spot hidden away with a few cheeky snooker tables and plenty of outdoor space. Also plenty of sports. The ultimate hide away from your wife and nurse your Sunday hangover.

I was taking my husband to the moto gp in Silverstone and forgot that the All Ireland semi final was on the day we were leaving!! I emailed mk11 to see if we could watch the match there and they said 'of course'. When we arrived they set up a room for the 2 of us, with 2 tvs. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. The food was really great too. Really enjoyed our visit. Thanks all :-)

I was there recently for their Tuesday 'open mic' night, arrived early so had time for something to eat. Really good food well presented. A great night out.

rated the best in the area by tripadvisor!it isnt the best for food but could be the best sports bar withmultiple tv screens and a stage for live gigs.the outside arealooks in need of attention and the interior feels a bit too dark.toilets should have either tissues or a hand dryer.food was okby pub standards but no better.

Friendly staff, wide range of drinks and very tasty food! The menu is great, good value for money excellently cooked. Plenty of entertainment in the evening and lots of live music showcasing local talents. Well worth a visit, you won't be disappointed.

If you ever happen to be in the Newport Pagnel area of England check this place out. We went last night. This bar has been around owned by 2 brothers who have gained a love for the items they offer: Good music, choices of craft beer from around the world, and great burgers.The Dead Pony Pale Ale from Brew Dog of Scotland smelled like a floral IPA but was still smooth with no bitter after taste. The Aussie burger was juicy and the sauce was filled with flavor. The Lamb burger had a kick of heat from the roasted peppers that were cooled by the creamy feta cheese. The surprise came with the mint thrown on. One could think that something with such a distinct flavor couldn't possibly go with a food smothered in a good where you can taste the garlic throughout the rest of the bite, but the mint rounds out the bite with a pallet cleansing aspect that leaves you ready for the next bite.Where will we eat today? I'm not sure but I hope it's as good as this place.

I've been to many bars/venues across the UK but I fell in love with MK11 the moment I went to it. Not only were the staff very welcoming and friendly, with excellent service, it is a great place for live music and sports. There is a lovely garden area, plenty of parking, great choice of food and drinks at such reasonable prices, that you have to check it is the right amount! If you like live music, it has a great stage and sound in the venue, and for sports there are plenty of screens to watch it on. They have a wide range of music from touring bands to open mic nights and jams which are great fun to go to.The owners and staff have made sure MK11 is everything you want from a bar/live music venue and there is such a brilliant atmosphere there. One visit and it will become your new favourite place for a night out and definitely worth travelling to.

Been here a fair few times over the last few months. Bar has a great choice of beers and the food is good quality and value. The owners are a great pair of guys and really care...definitely drop in here!!

I've been about 5 times over the past few months. This place is perfect if you love decent beer, HD sport, live music and great value quality food.

Hi went here to watch the first game of the season with a group of friends and it was fantastic. The game was on a big screen projector, great food menu (and food) and they serve Newcastle Brown Ale! They have both BT Sport and Sky Sports so it's definitely going to be my go to venue for sports in Milton Keynes. A thousand times greater than the MK casino!

MK11 is a gem in of a venue in Milton Keynes - it is an independent business ran amidst a sea of chain restaurants & bars. Friendly hospitality, unique music nights with a sociable & laid back vibe.I have eaten here (Kiln's Kitchen) on a couple of occassion, peri-peri chicken, corn on the cob with slaw & pulled pork wraps being my favourites!Would highly recommend a visit, play pool, listen to local/visiting bands, watch live sports on their screens...and make sure you try the food! :-)

Been several times in the last 6 months, and never disappoints. Great venue with great beers and food, great music and staff. Would recommend!

The other week, i was lucky enough to play with my band, forest of fools, live at this venue and not only was that a huge success, but after sampling their food and singling out the Hot Wings, it became quickly apparent that these boys not only new how to host a night of music, but also, they certainly knew how to make some serious food! These wings were cooked to perfection, zingy, tangy, hot and full of flavour that exploded in my mouth with every bite!So, not only is this place a great santuary for live music, friendly staff, friendly punters, but is most definitely amongst the big hitters of this countries restaurants!Highly, highly recommended!

We discovered this venue thanks to Groupon. The deal included snooker, burger, wings and a drink.We went as a four and had a fantastic afternoon! The staff, led by Simon, were extremely friendly and the food was delicious! We would love to revisit, and will keep an eye on their website, as they often have live bands performing!

I've been going to kiln farm over the past few years for birthdays, live music events and food and it's the place to be! My favourite venue in MK by far. Can't fault the friendly environment and the food is amazing! Get yourself there!

Kiln Farm is a well known establishment in our community - its known for its friendly staff, amazing food, great range of drinks and its live music! I regularly visit here to meet up with friends for a few drinks and to enjoy the music they put on, it has always been a welcoming place to have fun and wind down! Its a fantastic venue which I'd personally recommend to any of my friends or family :)

We went to Kiln Farm for a friends birthday lunch and we are glad we chose Kiln Farm. The service from the staff was really friendly and helpful; we were treated more like friends than customers. The menu looked quite ‘pub-y’ with plenty of burgers etc, I ended up going with a starter of the Chicken Wings with special MK11 sauce and a main of Beef shot rib with sweet potato fries. The food came out really quickly without any fuss. The food was cooked to perfection; full of flavor and the servings were pretty big too! Our table was very happy with the food and the atmosphere. We’d recommend Kiln Farm Kitchen to anyone looking for a quick, easy and tasty meal in Milton Keynes!

Went here with a group of friends last weekend after hearing good things, was not disappointed! Great place to have a drink and relax and with snooker, pool and darts available there isn't a lack of things to do. Plenty of screens to watch the sport and staff behind the bar were fantastic. Great choice of beers and we originally didn't go in to eat but when a couple of our group got some food the rest quickly followed! One of our group is a wheelchair user and staff were quick to lay out ramps for him so he could make his way around easily. Will certainly be going back!

We held a football presentation evenng at this venue last week (15/05/15). The venue was great with our own private area, with a live band playing in the main arena. The staff were great and the food and drink was brilliant, and very well priced.A good evening all round!

Visited for lunch on a Saturday. What a great find! This music venue / sports bar / restaurant is a delight with it's creative decor, good customer service and excellent food. Do not be put off by the surroundings of the outside of this converted listed barn which is situated on the edge of the Kiln Farm industrial estate.....once the door opens, it reveals a venue that reminded us of the many classy and funky music venues in Seattle. Our burgers, selected from a good and varied choice, were amongst the best we've had. We chose as accompaniments to share (a generous portion of ) delicious sweet potato fries and coleslaw, which was very good. We ate in front of the stage area which was surrounded by big screens showing sports but understood that there was also the option of a quieter area . Kiln's Kitchen is semi self-service with orders for food and drink taken at the bar and recyclable cutlery etc. to help yourself to. We look forward to returning in the evening to take in some music and try another of those great burgers.

Since I have been back from Uni for Easter I have had food there 3 times. Every time it has been outstanding.The diversity and the quirky-ness of the food makes an exciting menu. Staff are friendly and helpful as well which make a nice experience. A reasonably priced menu, plus a good ale/bottle beer selection makes this an ideal location.The concept of 'gourmet street food' is a nice unique touch for a largely unoriginal and corporate town. Portions are well sized too.Really recommend to anyone who wishes to watch sports, see live music or taste fantastic food.
