Our first visit to The Old School House and we were not dissapointed. The food was tasty and hot. Friendly and good service from Emma, Emma and Jack. Nice atmosphere and we will definitely visit again when next in the area. Thankyou.

The staff were friendly. The lady who asked for our food was nice. The food was disgusting. My salad looked like someone had regurgitated it. There was no finesse even for a bistro pub. The roast looked microwaved and the veg was over cooked. The kids food looked sparce and we didn’t get our nachos untill our mains came out and they looked like they could have been made within 2 mins. As a family I won’t ever come here again. It’s for old folks from the 90’s who want a beer. Or …. The football crowd Not modern families who want decent bistro pub food. Sorry - We still paid for drinks and some of the food we didn’t even eat. They should have offered us everything for free. They need a new chef. Big shame.

Just happened to be passing through Stony Stratford recently and looking for a meal stop we spotted The Old School House. A very varied menu with several vegetarian options. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly. The quality of the food was superb and served in a timely manner. If we lived even remotely close to the village we would be frequent visitors here. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

My name is David, I came to the pub for the England game with a mate and we sat at a table which didn’t have a reserved sign and the lovely assistant manager Emma popped over to see us and politely said it was already booked and we could sit on another table if they didn’t come in 15 minutes , on another note I feel that the portions for the chicken burger could be twice the size , also had a all day breakfast and the bacon was streaky and crispy when all I wanted was normal bacon the food was lovely just the portions a bit to small Many thanks @Emma keep up the the excellent service Many thanks David fuller

Nice enough staff but would be more of a professional establishment if the staff were more than half dressed. There's more skin on display than should be and it was uncomfortable. It felt like a gentleman's club rather than a family friendly pub, shame really.

Came to this establishment Sunday May 6th for some bank holiday drinks with my wife and some friends. It’s my first time visiting Stony Stratford and I must say this is a nice pub, some bits are a little expensive but nothing is too crazy. However, it seemed the two girls working this evening were under a lot of pressure unfortunately, I think they were understaffed. They even had their family/significant others helping out at one point but they were all still positive and helpful especially the young man collecting glasses! I would come back , I just hope things will be a little more organised.

Not great! I had the steak and ale pie which came with the peas positively drowning in gravy and the pie contents thermonuclear hot suspiciously like it had been nuked in the microwave. The peas were rock hard and their replacements were also rock hard. No compensation despite complaining twice. The hazy ale isn't that nice either. Not recommended! 😡

Shocking on a previous visit we had spotted the ploughman's platter on the menu we came again to have said platter (sharing platter) £13.00 IT WOULD HAVE DONE ONE PERSON one pickled onion, a couple slices of apple, half a pork pie when it clearly states pork pie as a whole not half the slices of sliced cheese cut in half to look more same with the ham wilted salad leaves and a single roll between two of us not offered side plate felt completely insulted and ripped off so disappointed.

Popped in for a late lunch on a whim. Lovely waitress came to table to take our order as they were quiet. Very helpfully checked ingredients of drinks and was patient whilst taking our orders. Unfortunately a few things came out wrong and took a while to rectify, also had to wait for ketchup so kids were left waiting for a while for dinner. The food itself was OK. Chicken burger was fine, sausage and mash is cheap sausages and the gravy wasn't particularly nice. Shame as I went here in October and had awesome hotdogs but the menu has changed and the food standard appears to have dropped. Staff were lovely and went out of their way to help us just a bit disappointed in the actual food.

Visited here when looking for a Sunday roast last minute! Football was on and still a "pub" atmosphere like the plough used to be except surprisingly quiet for a Sunday at 5pm! My partner and I got a roast, with some peace and quiet. You don't get table service for food but you get really great food (better than the expectation "pub grub" that we were after) We will definitely be visiting here for a roast again! Highly recommend adding cauliflower cheese & leek to your meal 😋 👌

I had my birthday party held at the Old School House over the weekend and I would like to say thank you to all the staff for being so friendly and accommodating. We all had a lovely time celebrating! The venue was nicely set up and decorated. We had a buffet for the party and all the guests enjoyed the food. Finally, as it was on Saturday, the DJ was on. We had quite a few children with us and wow, they all loved the music and danced the night away (until 9pm ish). The DJ even threw in a few Disney songs which was super fun.

This was the first time I'd been in here since it was taken over, first impressions was it looked really nice with the colour scheme and lighting, however it was empty (about 15 people) and had quite few bar staff on, apon ordering drinks we were made to use plastic cups, I'd asked can we please have real glasses as we weren't planning on sitting outside as it was the evening, the response was we don't have any clean ones, looking behind her there were 2 trays of dirty glasses, with the bar staff just sitting around chatting they could easily been cleaned, apon entering the toilets there were half eaten sandwiches and more glasses in there to, won't be in a hurry to return.

Myself and colleagues received a 50% off discount code which we intended to use. When we went to use the code, it wouldn’t load and the staff said they had seen this a lot recently. They said they couldn’t manually put it through and we had to pay full price. Good marketing strategy to get people in, not sure it will get repeat custom when it seems the code deliberately doesn’t load

Waited for over an hour for our order, not once anyone came to apologise for delay or ask if we need anything in the mean time while we wait. When I asked the staff is there any updates of when we will receive food as we were waiting nearly 1.5hours and started to think of going take away across the road - she started argument that "no, it wasn't this long" ... Anyway, we waited and expected food to be delicious, but unfortunately my pasta was too oily - havent even finished and now my stomach is not too well. My opinion this restaurant is overpriced for what it is and the customer service could use some improvement.

well let me start by saying we live in derby and have been having Christmas meals in stony Stratford since 2004 staying with our friends in beechampton. this year we looked at several venues for our xmas meal and came across the old school house festive menu this came out in favour of all the others hands down with choice of food options including a fantastic choice for vegan options, we booked early so a discount was added to our booking. menu choices were easy and confirmation was instant. on the day of our visit we called into the pub early to see where our table was we spoke with the manager and asked if we could be placed away from the resident DJ so we could enjoy our meal and also have a conversation catch up with our friends who we only see once a year. this was no problem came the reply from the manager we were placed in a great spot away from the DJ .when we arrived later that evening we were shown to our table shortly after the food arrived and wow lovely starters all hot and plentiful then came the mains and again presented wonderfully and full plates again good sized portions.. so onto the deserts all served excellently. the table service was excellent the ambience is excellent we loved the Christmas crackers being totally recyclable no plastic toys but instead lovely cardboard tree decorations. and i have to say you made our Christmas night out a brilliant experience thank you. happy Christmas from Steve And Kim Allison. and our friends.

I have eaten here a couple of times now and at £17 for a main meal I think it’s too expensive Each time I’ve chosen the 4 plates for £20 (+ a starter) as this is much better value than ordering 2 mains Last time I visited I went to a lovely country the pub the next day and it was only £12 ish for mains which I think is much more reasonable Also on my first visit my friend and I stood at the front bar where a young lady was very slowly making cocktails, we stood there for what felt like 10 mins only to be told by her after she had made them that we needed to order drinks round at the other bar (like she couldn’t have told us that straight away)

A very friendly and welcoming experience that offered a wide range of choices - not just Sunday roast! I chose a delicious cajun chicken dish which was both generous and full of taste. In fact it was so generous in size that I decided (like most of the group) not to have a dessert, though they did look tempting! It's a lovely relaxing place to eat and drink for all dietary needs - vegetarian, gluten free, vegan - whether it's for a meal or simply a coffee. Well worth a visit.
