Having not visited England for sometime and looking to meet up with an old friend, I researched for bars in the Milton Keynes area that was central for us both. I came across the Kingfisher Newton Pagnell. Just a short taxi ride from Wolverton. Our experience was great. Admittedly it was during the week and before the general Rush hour. The staff were courteous and the Guinness and food were good. Being a pretty good cook I can be pretty critical. I was suitably impressed. Would definitely recommend this pub as a causal meeting place. Keep up the good work. Mark G Elie, MB, Canada

Came here a few weeks ago and ordered lasagne, it came burnt black and the knife couldn't even cut into it so I sent it back. Ordered lasagne again today and it was the same, burnt black and again the knife couldn't even cut into it so I sent it back. I was then told by their staff that I'm banned from ordering lasagne again (like a naughty child)! I did mention that if they didn't burn it to a crisp then it wouldn't get sent back. I've been coming here for years but now it's time to find somewhere else

Wouldn't recommend on our experience , the 3 off us ordered Fish and Chips, took ages, then was all burnt batter and wafer thin burnt fish. When I complained, all she said was sorry about that will pass your comments to the chef. Should have offered refund, it was inedible

I popped in last weekend for some lunch with a couple friends. Lex greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome instantly. We haven’t been to the Kingfisher before so it was lovely to be made to feel at ease. The team were chatty and served us our drinks quickly, they recommended the Lilleys cider which was delicious! We sat in the pub and it was full of life, you can tell the team look after their guests as i noticed on several occasions that they were pouring drinks for guests who much have been regulars so it was ready for them by time they got to the bar. This is a lovely touch. We grabbed a bite to eat, i had the Mango chicken kebab which was superb! It was well presented and nice and hot. We are so glad we stopped by this gem of a pub and will definitely be returning. I will be recommending to friends and family

We booked for breakfast with santa for my son and nephew 2years and 2 months and 2 years and 6 months.When arriving tables were laid out with letters for? the children to write to santa, telling him about themselves and what they would like for Christmas. A cracker was also placed on the table. And this was the first problem arose. The crackers when pulled were obviously not designed for children as several were filled with marbles, or pointed golf tees and other items which were unsafe for small children. This then ment removing the prizes. The second issue which presented itself was the drinks which were offered was given in glasses again not really suitable for small children. It would have been better for plastic cups or even fruit shoots style drinks to be offered. There was a long delay for food to arrive. Which considering was pre ordered should have been prepared in advance. We was told that the adults couldn't order until the kids had all green served. Santa arrived and each child spent time with him and he chatted and provided a present (which was a selection pack.) they were then each given a cup with oats and could select a coloured glitter to make raindeer food. Over all the visit with santa the breakfast making raindeer food and writing their letters was fantastic value at £6 however I would have rather paid a little extra and have crackers which were suitable for the kids. Ie with stickers or drawing items or even suitable sweet packs in. The adults food took far to long at nearly a hour to arrive. By which time the children had completed all their activities and were bored and not able to sit still while the adults ate. And the food was seriously terrible out of 4 adults with 2 eggs on each plate only 2 eggs were not burnt underneath. Not one of the adults could eat the bacon it was tough not even because it was served crispy but tough because it was like rubber. The chips were hard and under cooked the beans were cold. This breakfast has. Made us all realise we would never want to return for food again. We were told the wait was because they were so busy however including our table I believe there was only 6 or 7 tables of families all of which the kids had been pre booked for. And not all adults were eating. Discussing with another table who's adults had also ordered food they said the same as us the food was terrible and wished they hadn't ordered(note I have recently been to a different local pub for a breakfast with...... And the service was so much better and food organised so children and adults came out together. Plus the food was actually delicious and edible) The kingfisher could make it so much better with a little more thought into what is suitable for small children. Being prepared for the pre ordered breakfasts and also with a better cheif that can actually cook.

I came down to the kingfisher today for the first time to see what it is like and to get a spot of lunch. When we pulled up I could tell it was a nice small pub and looked lovely from the outside. As we walked in we was greeted by the lovely Hayley who showed us to our table and told us when we are ready we can order at the bar. Once we had a look at the menu we went to the bar and gave our order to yet an other lovely lady called Alexis or was very smiley and friendly. We wasn’t sat down that long until our starter was ready the food was amazing and very hot. Nathan then brought us our mains the burger looked to die for and my partner was very happy with it….. he said it’s nice that you can build your own and add in extras that you like. I couldn’t finish my mains as I was soo full but I couldn’t complain the food was soo good considering they have a new chef but the lovely Lottie did an mazing job, I will definitely be visiting again. It’s worth more than the 5 stars for the staff alone soo friendly and very talkative can’t wait to go back and see what it’s like with Christmas decorations up.

I had a good experience at the kingfisher with my family. Food was amazing and the bar staff were lovely and welcoming and I couldn’t be more thankful for the service they provided to my family. However, there was a lady there I believe is the manager leaning at the end of the bar while all of the bar staff were hard at work, dressed in a unkept tracksuit and sliders, she did not look as though she wanted to be at work. There were many people waiting who were not noticed by her which was disheartening to see at such a lovely family local pub. I have been here for dinner many a times not so much recently as I feel management is no longer taken seriously here. I have seen many reviews on this lady and feel they should be noticed by the company. Keep up the good work bar staff & chefs!

Ordered a kids meal and once finished we went to order kids pudding. They have asked an hour and a half wait for a brownie because there is a table of six to serve. It is not the first time that they hold the kitchen service because they have “big” tables. A table of six. The brownie is ready to put in the microwave and add a scoop of ice cream. The service unfortunately went down since they have changed the management team. We used to come here last summer and the garden was always full. Now it is empty all the time. Big shame

When the food came out it put 5 guys to shame! The burger was loaded with cheese bacon onion rings and bbq sauce, and it was taller than my phone standing up! Don’t pay silly prices anywhere else! 2 of these burgers cost me £9.99. This pub I will definitely visit again

We had food here before so wasn't expecting much. 2 steams we had and they were the best meals we have had here in a long time. I had heard good things about the new owners and I have to agree.

We live locally and occasionally we come to the pub to have lunch. My partner is a chef in a pub and I have been working in restaurants myself for ten years. I can confirm this is the worse experience ever. Lunch for Father’s Day, only one member of the staff serving the bar and the “restaurant”, bless her, and nothing of our choice was available on the menu, no steak, so no roasted dinner or mix grill or anything else with meat other than chicken, no ice cream and the food we finally got (1 hour 15 min waiting) was soggy and fried with old oil. At the end we asked for our daughter fruit pot... open the pot and first spoon out, the item was expired 2 months earlier, on the 20/04?? This really put us off and we do not recommend to come over for anything else than a pint.

I'll certainly be back for a pint and chat with the friendly regulars, one of which was the very first customer back in the early 80's when the pub first opened its doors!

My first course was still frozen in the middle and the same with my second course. Coffee looked and tasted like dish water

We came here for a nice catch up with the family, and after an hours wait the children's food came, with the wrong food, which is a mistake easily made, however their was no apology for the mistake which I found really rude. The man who served the incorrect food tried to force us to eat the food instead of going and correcting it. Not only that, but 45 minutes later the adults food finally came, but only some of the customers food came. By the time the people who had received their food had eaten the two others who had not were starving and were wondering when their food would come. They went in to ask where it was, and were told it wasn't even being cooked. Those people were offered a refund but the staff were very rude and inconsiderate.

Este pub está en una zona de tiendas y a lo que se podría esperar de un suburbano local, pero quizás por encima de la media. Decoración limpia y agradable, con cómodos asientos. El personal era atento y el servicio estaba resbaladiza. El menú es...

Pub local bajo una nueva administración que están muy bien, como a la gestión anterior de renombre que sin duda no eran. Bebidas asequible y agradable personal. La comida es genérico-pub.

Avoid with family, not really a family pub . Too many chavs shouting and swearing can smell drugs being smoked as well outside.

What can I say? There are far much better places in Newport and Milton Keynes than the Kingfisher! Flat pints, cold reheated food that takes hours to appear on the table! Rude management and staff! Won't be going back.

Reservé una mesa en el Kingfisher, como me he mudado recientemente a la zona. Llevé a mi suegro por una comida, ya que era el Día del Padre con la familia y decidí sorprenderlo con un festín de carne enorme. Fue precioso, el bistec de cómo él quería, que era de tamaño, y él también dijo que estaba bien y juicey. Un montón de comida todo bien cocinado y aspecto apetitoso. Él quería postre que era un millonario diabólico, pero sus ojos eran más grandes que su vientre, pero que parecía bueno.

Had to wait for over one hour and thirty minutes for our food not advised of long wait when ordering and no apology given when enquired what was going on the manager became very rude and belligerent when we complained and asked for a refund. Refund only given when I approached staff and asked for Greene kings head office number.food was also of very poor quality ie burnt sausages and very oily burger.completely ruined father's day meal.would deeply advise potential customers to steer clear of this establishment,better food outlets near by in Milton Keynes ie kfc,macdonalds.better quality restaurants also nearby.

We love this local pub and hope the new managers make a success of it. We have eaten here and the food was nice pub grub but we will try the roast as they are getting great reviews. Our only criticism is that since the pub has been refurbished it really lacks warmth and ambience. The lighting is very bright and no pictures on the walls or lamps - it is no longer a cosy place you would sit for hours. Before they opened they had lovely hanging baskets too but not sure what happened to them.

As always good, food and coffee is excellent. When i was going to London every day, they wore the place to go for me, always fresh and never disappoint me with coffee.

I have watched this place get progressively worse over the years. I "used to" buy a large amount of selection boxes for friends and families but now take my custom elsewhere. First of all they seem to employ obnoxious, rude and unhygienic staff with Napoleon complexes as a standard. Second, The place is getting progressively dirtier to the point I have had hair in my selection box and I am sure I saw something verminous scuttle under a table on one visit. Thirdly, The whole covid thing gave everyone a chance to be scared of cash. Personally i like cash and have never been scammed on my cards... because i use cash. Now all the restrictions are lifted. One of the staff members loudly and arrogantly refused my legal tender as i attempted to buy a selection box (is that even legal?) and seemed very pleased not to take my money. I have never seen a business model that doesn't want to take money? But I guess they can have their donut and eat it.

Been to this Costa a few times and usually staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately today (24/11/24) whoever the dark haired girl with an Eastern European type accent was, who was making the coffees around 12pm, completely spoiled our visit. Not only did she get our order wrong, she was rude, dismissive and was heard snapping at her colleagues and complaining that she’d ‘not had any sleep and was not in the mood’. The other workers appeared to be treading on eggshells around her. I hope the manager sees this and has a word with her. To the poor girl on the till taking orders - you did a great job despite almost losing your head when you were trying to work as a team and make sure our order was right.
