The Nut and Squirrel in Milton Keynes

Good value food and drink with great customer service always made to feel welcome…..

Popped into The Nut and Squirrel for a midweek dinner with my partner, and it turned out to be a great choice. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a cozy pub vibe that made us feel right at home. I ordered the Peri Peri Chicken Skewer, and it was delicious—tender chicken with just the right amount of spice, served alongside a fresh salad . My partner went for the Apple & Cinnamon Pie for dessert, which was indulgent and perfectly spiced . The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable, making it a satisfying meal overall. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It's clear they take pride in providing good service. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the menu, while offering some tasty options, could benefit from a bit more variety to cater to different tastes. Nonetheless, it's a solid spot for a casual meal, and we'll definitely be returning to try more of their offerings.

Nicely decorated pub with choices of good quality foods. Staff were very attentive and provided excellent service.

The food in here is amazing. The staff always try to accommodate you and they are so friendly. The caramel cheezcake is to die for, the chicken and bacon salad was wonderful, well with it. Definitely coming back here!

Came here just before Christmas 2024, really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff are top quality and always making sure everything is satisfactory. When ordering food on numerous occasions, I have had food recommendations by different staff, always gone with that recommendation at the time and never have I been disappointed. Since then, I have come here at least once a month and sometimes more and will continue to do so into the future. Well done to the management and staff.

We love coming here for a Friday night drink - the staff are so friendly and it’s always a good time 🤩

Food is amazing and staff are friendly and relatable. They have TVs so you can watch the football or whatever is on.

Walk into this pub to eat. Atmosphere was very stressed. Two young lads behind the bar with absolutely no direction from the manager. Who was talking to an elderly customer disgracefully. Because he could not remember his PIN number for his car. We just turned around and walked out. FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE KEY

Reasonable price food? Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff .

Lovely place, great staff and tasty food. Manager is very accommodating! Thank you

Really lovely staff! Would happily come here again

Great service, food was really good

Really nice, clean pub with well kept selection of wonderful ales. Been there a few times now and I really enjoy it when I get an opportunity to visit.

Great pub with a welcoming vibe, friendly staff, and excellent food. Went back for a karaoke night and had just as much fun. I’ll be back when I’m in the area.

Didn't quite like the food, shame

Fab service from Dan W, always polite and attentive. We ordered the chicken, bacon and avocado salad, dirty fries, beer battered mushrooms and kids chicken nuggets and chips. All were delicious.

The pub is amazing, the staff are friendly. Definitely recommend this pub.

I visited this pub some 8 years ago and wasn't impressed at all. Today I returned and the difference was just astonishing! Nice friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble and very wheelchair friendly 😀. Clean and tidy, relaxing atmosphere and good food at a good price . Definitely will be returning and encouraging family members to pay a visit. Keep up the good work guys and we'll done ✔️

Really nice lunch and quick service even though pub was busy

This is a chain and we had low expectations. It was all very tasty. The service was especially nice. Tom is cool. We had the nachos, sea bass, mac and cheese and creme brule. All were delicious, especially the sea bass.

Had a lovely lunch on the 19th of April .. I had the chicken avocado wrap .. it was fresh and delicious.. thank you

Very overpriced food, kids pizzas looked like they were £1.50 from Tesco express, adult mains were really small, quality was of the standard of weatherspoons but triple the price.

Been here many times and always have a great experience

Welcoming service, good food and warm atmosphere.

Curry night was brilliant. The best pub curry ever.

me and my friends had a very nice time at the hut and squirrel. the staff were kind and friendly. the service was fast and the food was lovely,

Lovely 3 course lunch cooked by Kieren. And great service from Harry. Only advisory is the resturant is cold as temp dropped outside. But otherwise a lovely expierence first visit for 15yrs+.

I have come here a couple of times now having recently moved and this is an Amazing local pub, the staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. The ember inns app is great too, you can easily see the promotions available and you get a free drink just for signing up! What’s not to love about a free drink! There is a loyalty card available on the app, rewards for the 2nd, 4th & 6th drink. I definitely recommend this pub it’s dog friendly and it’s such a lovely local pub which I feel we’re running out of now. Thanks for all the staff making it feel like you’re truly welcome at all times

Excellent food and service from the team. Ben and Emma were great. Love the BBQ chicken wings . Great place for a chill out after a long day.

Had the pork belly on this occasion and it was delicious but the food had always been great when I've eaten here so no surprise. The staff are always friendly and welcoming along with the other pub goers

Good Guinness, nice quality fairly priced food.

Came in with my family the other day and had an exceptional experience. The place has really turned around for the better since the last time we visited. Our server Ben was amazing, very polite great customer service and couldn’t do enough for us. Dan served us at the bar and was a great laugh. 100% will be returning.

Lovely place to sit and chill, lovely staff and environment

Very good food and beer. Now my local...friendly and warm welcome. All the staff are great

Very good meal. Great service. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. The pub needs a little bit of work done. Like seats. But this doesn't stop the lovely staff and great food. Very good menu and prices are from 10.00 a maal. Two lovely men on duty nothing too much for them well done to both the Daniels, see you again soon.

We came to eat yesterday for my mother’s 70th birthday celebrations. Apologies, but I can’t remember their names but the chap and the new lady who served us did an incredible job. We had to order separately but the food came out promptly and the quality of the food was fantastic. We have been let down before with anniversaries and birthdays but not this time. Thank you so much for making my mother’s birthday very special. Do you manage to cater for 20+ people and we really appreciate the hard work.

Been there a good few times & always had a great experience.. Service was good & staff where very polite. Price was extremely reasonable as food was to a high standard & will visit again !!!

Daniel on service was lovely, very friendly and accommodating person. Food was great and atmosphere was very welcoming.

Good service, pub was busy when we arrived and we were asked if we would like to sit in the bar area or restaurant- we chose restaurant. Daniel was polite, cheery and served us with our food.

Food was delivered very fast but tasted amazing. Service was beyond what I expect as manager was polite, efficient and attended us a number of times to check we were happy with everything. 5/5.

We had an amazing buffet selection and really tasty. Would 100% recommend the nut and squirrel. Thank you to all for making our celebrations so good.

Friendly staff food is yum but I find the toilets smell really bad smells like urine on the carpet as you enter the toilets and over heard someone say there was sick in the urinels that was still there from the other day

Celebrated a 73rd birthday, food good, there were a few items out of stock. Server was friendly and overall a nice place to eat.

Dan was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. Very attentive. Food was very tasy and fairly priced. Lovely fire where we could warm up on a winters evening.

Popped in with some friends for a bit of lunch. A wonderful young woman called Tallyn sorted us out and recommended some food for my friends. She was lovely, friendly, and hilarious. The mixed grill was awesome. The Nut and Squirrel was lovely to relax in. Thanks for a great time.

Tallyn was super helpful and friendly made the experience wonderful
