Wanted to pop in for a drink after being to the cinema, however was turned away at the threshold upon arrival at 21:15 as they were closed due to it being a ‘quiet day’!? Have been a couple of times previously for pre-match drinks and found the establishment quite pleasant however won’t bother again now.

This is a great venue, we really enjoyed it here. We came to Milton Keynes to meet up with family and had a fabulous meal. The staff were so friendly, especially to my dog :-) who was made to feel very welcome. We will definitely go back when we are next in the area. Highly recommended. Parking was easy right by the pub and the lake was beautiful. Can't rate it high enough. Thank you to all the lovey staff members

We recently had our company social at the Inn on the Lake, as we loved the idea of the BBQ buffet. From the first interaction, Leigh and Sharon were totally on board with my idea for the social and went above and beyond to help deliver a really great company social. It's a beautiful area next to the lake, giving us plenty of room for games of rounders. The food was amazing, they allowed us to have inflatables and provided us with giant games such as connect 4 which was a really fun addition. The service was excellent and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to host a group party/gathering. Thank you so much Leigh, Sharon, Suzanne, Claire, Hayden, James, Sadie and Alvin. You were all excellent!

Only stopped for a drink but we’re made to feel so welcome! Take That we’re on at the stadium and the place was packed with fans who had pre-booked however we were welcomed in for drinks and chatted to the owner and his son. Absolutely lovely family atmosphere and although we didn’t eat the food looked lovely! Would 100% come back as it’s so rare to find such lovely accommodating staff especially during such a busy period. The owners clearly love what they do and put their customers first! They also cater for one off events which sounded amazing!

We were celebrating our daughters wedding at this beautiful venue. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our ever need, helping us decorate the back room and last minute dietary needs that they accommodated quickly and went out of their way to help. All staff were so warm and welcoming, thank you all for everything you did for us, you are all a credit to the Inn. The back drop of the lake, trees ect is beautiful. The food was delicious and they even provided take away boxs for everyone to take home left overs if you wanted. Thank you all for a lovely day.

Great sunday lunches! Very generous roast beef dinner (husband had to finish the meat for me. He gad Gammon joint which I tested and both agreed very good. Nice crackling with the gammon. Both had desserts and a pint of soft drinks each. £50 in total. Liked that most of their normal menu was available as well. Lovely staff friendly and genuine.

A really friendly place with a great Sunday Roast! We visited without a booking, with our son and his dog. The Landlady remembered the dog from when he was a couple of months old and the dog certainly remembered her and her generous welcome. All of the staff were friendly and attentive, making it a great experience with excellent food.

My friend and I had afternoon tea. The quality of the food was superb, really outstanding, all homemade, delicious and very tasty, and plenty of it too, it was very filling. We would both highly recommend it. The service from the staff was excellent and as it wasn't very busy in there at the time (3pm) we were able to chat with them at our leisure. All in all, it was a very relaxing but highly pleasurable couple of hours at a very nicely furnished Inn in a lovely setting beside a lake. We will definitely be back.

Meeting friends for lunch we picked The Inn on the Lake due to the localaty, menu and the fact it is dog friendly - it would have been hard to choose better.The food was excellent, we had four different meals from the menu and all four were first class, as was the desert. The staff were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble.After lunch we had a nice leisurely walk around the lake.

My wife and I came here after booking a table as the eat out to help scheme has certainly made the place popular. Loved the decor and the over riding reason for eating here is the friendly service. It is though very closely followed by the food, the portion sizes alone offer value for money, then sprinkled with the quality I have no problem recommending this as a place for an evening meal, I had the whitebait for starters, well cooked in a nice batter and the tartar sauce is lovely, my wife had the garlic mushrooms served unusually with a sweet chilli sauce which really works. My wife loved the liver and bacon, I went for the tex mex burgers and there was probably to many flavours going on but I still enjoyed it.

We already love this restaurant, but wondered what it would feel like since the pandemic and with all the social distancing and measures they have in place. Well this evening 6 of us went there for dinner and it still has the welcoming friendly feel and the service and staff were fantastic as usual. The food was delicious and we have 4 very fussy children who cleared their plates. Keep up the great work guys. Would highly recommend.

After a bit of a wild walk with 4 x children and a dog, we decided to pop in for lunch at the Inn on the Lake. We were warmly welcomed and although confined to the 'bar' area, this was more than adequate and comfortable. Great choice of kids meals and lovely lunchtime food for us. Nicely presented. Weird comment maybe, but toilets were spotlessly clean (it's a thing of mine). Even the dog was given his own bowl of water. Was rather nice watching the torrential rain from this cosy spot. Excellent friendly and attentive siervice. Will definitely visit again.

We have visited regularly and always been very happy with the food, the staff and the atmosphere. This place is really “on the lake” and there is always something to see out of the window. Had a super Sunday roast today. Beef with yorkshire puds and a good selection of vegetables. The place was buzzing and the staff were kept very busy.Very reasonable price so we didn’t break the bank and we wont need anything else to eat today.

From the outside it looked pretty ordinary but inside the staff had made a beautiful job of doing it up with Christmas decorations. The restaurant was clean, the manager and staff were excellent. The food although a festive menu which some places can be a hit or a miss was taste and well priced. Nothing was too much bother for them and they were welcoming to kids but also seemed to have areas where people who wanted peace and quiet could dine too. I would certainly go back there again.

We were a family of 10 for afternoon tea just before Christmas. Service was slow and we had to ask and wait for the teapots to be refilled. Sandwiches were average. As were the scones. Now the cakes were something else, and not in a good way. Costco mince pies! And what looked like mr Kipling boxed cakes, however I think they were possibly a cheaper version. There were plenty of them but just not really nice. Not what I expect from an afternoon tea. We won’t be returning!

We (5 adults and 2 children) had a very enjoyable Sunday Lunch at The Inn On The Lake. There was a pleasant atmosphere about the place, which was aided by the Christmas decorations and helpful staff who went out of their way to please. It is not a large dining area but we didn't see that as a problem at all, more of an advantage with most tables having views of the adjacent lake. There is also an area set aside with cosy arm chairs and sofas for drinks prior to or after eating. What we also liked was the fact that we were never rushed to place our orders and stayed for almost 4 hours! We will definitely visit again and once again our thanks to all the staff for a most enjoyable afternoon.

I visited this place before and I always were happy for food, service and atmosphere. This time atmosphere was same but not food and service. This time there was new waitress. Always I ordered same food...salmon hot salad but this time I have ordered something new...chicken with pineapple. Chicken was burned black. Not only a bit but all over chicken fillet was burned black and been hidden under the cheese and pineapples. When waitress asked "if everything is fine" I showed her chicken but I told her "I'm ok and no need change plate". As good will waitress asked "if I want coffee or something else" as half dinner wasn't good. Tonight I come to this place specially for desert chocolate cake with ice-cream and that what I have asked to waitress to serve for us. For free or for full price but that is what for I have come. After we finished dinner on the way out in stead "thank you for visiting" waitress shouting on my back "greedy!'. I think this is not acceptable. I have be nice and did not make complaint about burned food only because I won't disturb other visitors with nice and peaceful atmosphere. One little comment from waitress change a lot.

We had sunshine and it was a perfect setting for a silver wedding anniversary with 60 guests, adjacent to the public park so kids could roam around, provided someone kept an eye on those that were heading for the lake. They had great fun collecting the duck feathers. We had the party rooms that opened out onto the patio and park. The BarBQ was served just outside, and, with the sunshine, those that wanted to could eat at the bench tables outside. My sister-in-law, 50 years a vegetarian, said this was the best ever selection of veggie kebabs, and she ate all three. Also a vegan option. Leigh said that the veggie option was as good as, if not better than the carnivorian, and he's right. The 5" burger defeated me. You could come back as often as you wanted for seconds/thirds - and Leigh said only once has has he run out - and that's when 40 unexpected guests turned up. Couldn't have asked for a better celebration venue

We were out for a bike ride and got peckish and this was the nearest place but I had reservations due to past experience of the pub . First pleasant surprise was the French white wine which was reasonably priced it was actually cold which is not always the case nowadays and it was really nice. We ordered the fish baguette which came with a salad and dressing, it was tasty and well cooked. Outside area is lovely to sit looking over the lake . We will defiantly be back and advise to give the place a go .

The venue offers a room ajoining the main bar area for private functions, which on this occasion was a wedding reception. The room. Looks out onto the park and lake area providing a pleasant vista. A buffet was provided which was excellent, with varied hot and cold dishes, including chips, wedges, pizzas, a variety of sandwiches, salads, sauces and nibbles. Drinks were available in the adjacent bar area. The tables were placed in the normal pub layout which maintains the friendly and informal ambience rather than a banquet style formation, this was good for mixing and chatting among the group.

Went to the Inn on the Lake for a midweek meal with friends, after reading some mixed reviews was not sure what to expect. I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised, although it was not busy the staff were very welcoming and responsive which was nice. The restaurant itself is very well decorated, and the tables are well spread out not like some you see. The food menu is very varied and extensive, again some places now only seem to offer a restricted menu, which is a shame. I had the Liver and Bacon casserole, served with creamy mash, crispy bacon and a good onion gravy absolutely lovely. So nicely cooked as it can be dry, but not here have to say.

Not the best lunch, two out of the three meals where not enjoyed. The fish and chips where a disappointment because the chips although plenty where dry and the fish inside a huge amount of batter was small and of poor quality, the tikka masala was very dry and needed extra chutney to make it palatable, however the vegetable tart with new potatoes and salad was enjoyed. Irish coffee was served with squinty cream from a can and was sinking to the bottom of the cup. All in all this is not the cheapest place to eat and we will not be rushing back.

I found this pub restaurant about two months ago, to have Sunday dinner, set in great surroundings next to a small lake. Normally you get small amounts of food, along with a high price. Not this place, it's certainly not skimpy with the food. Plus the hosts were most welcoming, not the usual plastic smiles but real ones. So based on that experience, a group of friends (ten of us), went there last Friday evening, immediately noticed the care and time it must have taken to put up the Xmas decorations. Well we all had a really good meal, not one complaint from anybody. A really enjoyable evening, so glad we took that chance to invite friends, and get a good result

We visited the area at very short notice on a Sunday. The restraunt, as I expected, was very busy. After a warm welcome a table for my party of three was found. Although the menu looked very good we elected for the Sunday roast. We did not have to wait long. The roast beef was tender and there was plenty of it along with a large quanity of good quality vegetables. While we ate we were struck by the splendor of our surroundings and were fasinated to watch the birds and beauty of the lake. The staff were very approachable and despite being busy, ensured all was well. This visit to the area was very special to the 80 year old lady in my party, who had been seriously ill earlier in the year was desperate to visit the house in which she was born and the area she lived in until 1984. As we drove the 70 miles homes she talked excitedly about the visit to her old home, the area and the restraunt with the view with a big smile on her face. Good memories are made that day.

On September 15th we had our wedding evening at inn on the lake, from the moment we entered for our pre evening dinner with 11 of our family and friends, the staff were extremely attentive, friendly and professional. The food was delicious and all brought out in time . We had a really lovely relaxed dinner and felt no rush from the staff to finish.

Looking for somewhere to eat after a busy day in MK. We googled, and the Inn on the Lake was high up the list. After checking out Tripadvisor reviews we decided to give it ago.

Food was great, generous portions. I had a Prawn cocktail, followed by a Steak and Ale Pudding with fresh vegetables, new baby potaoes and to finish Lemon Merangue Pie. A trip down memory lane. I have not enjoyed these on a menu for many years! Really yummy! Restaurant staff were friendly and helpfull. Behind the scenes, the toilets, were spotless.

I attended a wedding reception here, and it was a lovely day, the staff were friendly, the manager most helpful, and the food being a buffet was a mix of hot and cold foods.

A pleasant, modern pub with very friendly staff & clientele, and huge portions of good 80s pub grub! To get there we walked through the woodland around the lake which was unlit at night but felt safe. We were seated quickly and had a relaxed meal, a large portion of whitebait, garlic mushrooms (with sweet chilli sauce which we thought odd) suet pudding and scampi, we were too full for any pudding but they looked good on the next table. If visiting during the day there's a good view across the lake and a garden with plenty of seating. We would return if in the area but not eat as much during the day!

We had stopped off at this busy restaurant on the way to the Cotswolds, and had no hesitation choosing it on the return journey. Ample parking, and a very pleasant walk with our three dogs along the lakeside (red kites and cormorants in evidence). Then back to the restaurant, where the friendly staff found us a dog-friendly corner even though some 80 people had arrived just before us for a wake.

Had spent sometime searching for a good restaurant which would allow dogs and cater for some difficult dietary requirements. Chose the Inn on the Lake for our family lunch because they were extremely helpful from the initial call to book the table, right through to accommodating extras who turned up on the day. Service was superb and everyone enjoyed their lunch. We all agreed that a return visit was in order, and would like to thank Lee and his staff for a lovely afternoon.

Nice surroundings. It’s by the lake. Attended at 5.40pm on a very hot day. Only two other diners. Pleasant lady took orders. Served in reasonable time. Home cooked (?) chicken and mushroom pie. Soggy pastry, bland filling. Had all the indication of some mass produced economy brand. Oven chips. Strangely, served with mini saucepan of gravy on the plate.

Three generations of family came for an afternoon tea. We asked for sandwiches for us three who are vegetarians. This was not a problem at all. The sandwiches were delicious and a tasty savoury tart too. Beautiful Victoria sponge. No room for scone so it was put into a box to take home. The staff were attentive and friendly. We had another pot of tea with no extra expense. I would highly recommend and return.

Booked for Sunday dinner but not really necessary. Our order was taken swiftly and our food was delicious. Staff were attentive, but not overpowering and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Horrific attitude from the owner. I was not happy with my burger as it was rock solid so I was not happy to pay for it and she was very argumentative would not agree that her food was not nice. I would not recommend going here to expensive for not nice food and horrible attitude off of the OWNER!!

Var en tur i Calverley Grounds for en gåtur og da der kom en regn byge valgte vi at gå ind i denne lille hyggelig cafe. Her er servering både inde og ude. Hyggelig typisk engelsk. Flinke unge som var hurtige og vakse. Et fint tilbud af små retter, varmt og koldt og alt til meget rimelige priser. Vi valgte the og kager og hyggede os mens det regnede. Kan anbefales og vi vil helt sikkert gerne komme her igen.

Great place to drop into if you want a quick cup of coffee (and/or snack). The service is quick and friendly and the coffee is good. You can either drink it in your vehicle or at the outdoor tables (with good views across the surrounding countryside), as long as it's not raining or cold.

A lovely lunch today … tasty shepherds pie my partner had the lamb shank, which was beautifully cooked. I would highly recommend a visit to Waterside cafe, great food at a reasonable price, welcoming staff and all in a great setting overlooking beautiful lake! Will be back again!
