The Warbler On The Wharf in Milton Keynes

Went as a family group of 8 to celebrate 2 birthdays that week. It was a Saturday night and the place was vibrant. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. Food was as described and delicious. Definitely will return and have recommended. Tried to get in again more recently and it was full...that says it all. Keep doing what you are doing.

Come here on a regular basis for Sunday lunch which is amazing, other days we normally go for the steak which is the best we have had. However, this time I was dished the worst steak I have ever had. I started to cut around the outside and noticed the steak seemed tougher than usual and very chewy. Not liking to complain I tried to eat more but came to a section in the middle that I was not able to cut with the steak knife. I mentioned this to the waitress, and she took it away and replaced with a quality steak portion that I am used to here. Apology was provided by the management team, and a free drink was provided. Luckily this didn’t put me off and I was able to eat the replacement dish, and it was lovely, look forwards to returning.

Stopped here as we really wanted to try the Sunday roast. It was OK, lots of people raved about it but I didn't think it was that great tbh. Smallish portions, although there are options to add sides. Food wasn't particularly hot coming out. Disappointing but might just have been an off day. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Food was brilliant and a great atmosphere. We were served by a young lady called Brooke who was amazing, really friendly and super helpful.

Brooke looked after us really well, super friendly and very knowledgable. Lovely food. Very nice evening and will be back.

The menu is great for people with allergens. I am veggie, gluten free and soy free and I still had options to choose from. Nath was our server and he was very friendly and knowledgeable:)

Really friendly service, great location and very tasty food

We had a wonderful experience hosting a baby shower here. The staff were lovely and friendly and also very prompt and helpful during the email correspondence phase. The actual venue is fab and the food was delicious. Thank you team Warbler on the wharf xxx

We are always sure that we will have a delicious meal in comfortable surroundings and be looked after by attentive, friendly staff. Brooke in particular is an example of how to get it right everytime. Also caters very well for gluten free diners, thank you.

My first experience at Warbler on the Wharf is faultless - all staff were attentive and welcoming. We had a wonderful time, food and drinks were of excellent quality and value. Special mention to Ethan, he went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and had a great time x Can't wait to return 🤩

First time going but was recommended by family and friends. Had Issy serve us and she managed to get our food/drinks order quick and efficient while dealing with the dad jokes (asking for a left handed fork for one) she handled her first shift alone so well. Food was fantastic, having an allergy always made me conscious but the manager and servers were great with sending food out. Reasonable prices, good selections! Fantastic family evening. Big thanks to Issy again who really shined today! Will return!🙏🏼👌🏼🍷

Very busy and quite noisy but food and service was super

Ellie was amazing, food great and not too expensive

All staff at The Warbler are amazing especially Mitchell who is friendly helpful and very accommodating highly recommend

Excellent food served in a great setting right on the wharf, will definitely be back

Great food and lovely environment 👌

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and was not disappointed. Lovely place, food was excellent at a good price. Service was absolutely spot on by Kelly, thank you. Will definitely be back. Really impressed and I'd highly recommend.

My first visit here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Wonderful pub with a great ambience for a Monday evening. Menu is varied and steaks here are very good. Staff are very polite and service was outstanding. They went beyond the extra mile to make our evening a memorable one. Thankyou for a wonderful visit and we will be back in the future. Please keep up the excellent work from a great team.

Visited Warbler on the Wharf for a Valentine’s Day celebration with my wife and two boys, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a clean and spacious setting right by the canal. The venue is beautifully decorated, with lovely colors, pleasant scents, and a great overall vibe. Service was top-notch—Ellie took great care of us with her friendly smile and amazing service. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, making it a great spot for a family meal. Plenty of parking available, but I’d definitely recommend booking in advance as it gets very busy.

Really nice place to have lunch with my parents, we had lovely service from Mitchell.

Great service by Kayleigh. Enjoyed Good food and drinks. Definitely recommend the pub.

We were served by Kayleigh on valentines and she was lovely and so helpful. Lahbib was so kind and funny too. Lovely staff, great experience!

Food wasn't that great, chips cold,

Five star for the service and food for that price.

Really good service. Point off because the prebooked table wasn't ready. Otherwise, had a great experience.

This glorious pub has such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Staff are friendly and it’s in a convenient location. Highly recommend

We had the lamb and beef Sunday roasts, which were delicious. Nathan was our server - he was friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our time at The Warbler on the Wharf, that we will be visiting again soon.

Great server. Great food. Great gluten-free offer. Just felt portions were a little small. Would visit again

A good selection of drinks with a good atmosphere and great service from the bar staff Mitchell served us today. The soughdough sharer is excellent and only £7 well worth a trip

Stopped here for lunch, the place has a nice cosy atmosphere, upstairs seating has a nice view and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had dietary restrictions to cater for too, which was no problem at all. They have a separate menu for gluten free, which has a good range of starters, mains and desserts! The service was fast and when our meals arrived the gluten free ones were clearly marked with allergy.

The second time we used the Warbler, we ordered Mozzarella as a starter it came in a a lukewarm sauce when we cut into the breadcrumb coating the Mozzarella was still frozen in the middle. Then the ‘fish’ and a few chips came out the meal was cold the batter was so thick you thought it was a large portion but once opened the so called fish was smaller than my finger and was a dark grey colour, we never got an answer to was it was, they brought out another plate which was glowing hot and so dry it was inedible. We were offered a refund on the main courses but it still worked out to £160 for the four of us. Never again will we cross the threshold, McMullans flagship has sunk to the bottom of the warfe

Really lovely place for food and drinks, had small nibbles plates and loved them. Really friendly service from Diana! Thank you!

Great service today and they took great care with my child who has allergies. We will be back. Thank you Daina 😃

So I can say with my hand on my heart that this is the best pub in Milton and even more that this place is top 3 pubs in Milton. Firstly the food is top notch, I've tried quite a few things on the menu. Second, atmosphere, cleanliness and coziness at a very high level. Third, the staff is great and very professional. I am writing these lines so that people know that this is indeed a remarkable place.

Have the onion nests, if you like a bit of crunch. Divine. Dogs allowed. Even kids are allowed ;)

Had a great lunch today. Food as always was superb and we really looked after by Katie our lovely waitress who went above and beyond looking after my mum. Many thanks and we will be back soon!

My partner and I had Sunday lunch at the Warbler and whilst the food and service was good, I was not impressed with the "old" cutlery and poor taste in Wine glasses. I ordered a glass of Malbec at £10 per glass and it comes in the glass that would not look out of place at a working mens club and was almost filled to the brim.

Service a little slow between but once ordered the food came quickly. Sunday options are great, really tasty. Really like the atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Wharbler on the Wharf. Food and drinks were delicious. What made our visit extra special was our server Katie, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely time, and even created us a drink not on the menu when our favourites weren't available! Would highly recommend, second to none service, very impressed. Thank you!

Lovely pub by the canal wharf. The food was really good we had 6 sharing dishes and it was all delicious. A great place to enjoy the sun

Lovely atmosphere very busy but didn't feel overcrowded. Food choices for vegetarians are very limited as they are geared more towards vegans, which is a little disappointing. However, it does seem the norm for a lot of pubs these days. The staff were excellent, very helpful and attentive

We were looked after by Katie, she was amazing, made it a lovely experience and the food was excellent.

Fantastic pub in the heart of MK. Great views of the canal and marina. The staff are great and the service is fast and friendly.

It's a very pub restaurant good food nice atmosphere well designed and really good bar staff no complaints 👌

Not bad food for a big pub , Just need to keep smoker's away from entrance

Good range of beers. I haven't eaten here but I bet it's good. Right on the canal if you want to combine a walk and dog friendly too.

I didn't eat here this time. It's a good pub which also serves food and dog friendly too.

On arrival we were told to wait to see if our table was ready. After a few minutes the family behind us were invited to follow our server, an easy mistake but unfortunately a sign of things to come. When we sat down our server instructed us that we needed to be out by 7 (sat down at 5) as the table had another booking. Our orders were taken and drinks delivered. The family that came in behind us were then served their meals before us as we waited for an hour for our food. Food portion sizes are not large. The market fish (seabass) was served with four new potatoes and a couple of leaves of kale. The lamb shepherds pie had a very small amount of mash. Both tasted good to be fair. Our server returned to the table and threw the dessert menus into the middle of the table before leaving again. We tried to order two desserts but were told they had run out of both. All together terrible service, no class and poor management of customer experience. Will not go back.

Nice ambience, food and service was great!

Fabulous service - food was fantastic- the best Sunday roast all three of have had out in such a long time. We arrived early for our pre booked table and they took us straight to our table - the staff were all attentive and we didn’t get forgotten about. The restaurant was extremely busy but this didn’t affect the experience or quality. Will go back, and definitely recommend.

Second visit here and it’s great. My kids loved the HUGE Christmas tree. The atmosphere is great; menu is good and food was also good. Children’s menu good - portions are very big. Sunday roast also looked good. Great staff too, very friendly.

First time I've visited this pub and what a great place it is! I ordered the steak frites and bbq chicken thighs and they were both delicious dishes. Really friendly staff too! Highly recommended.

Nice decor Parking is limited, so be prepared to park elsewhere & walk. Although it’s along the canal walk was nice. Food, ok. I went for the Vegetarian Rosary goat’s cheese tart. Sounded delicious, but sadly disappointed. Goats cheese was more like foam & not enough of it, tart was dry, could have done with more dressing. Friend ordered fish & chips & partner ordered the Plant burger. No one asked if we wanted sauces etc. Had to ask for it & disappointment that the fish & chips didn’t automatically have tartare sauce. Plant burger was expensive for what it was. Server was lovely, really attentive & knowledgeable. Wasn’t our allocated server that brought the food. For a main course & 1 drink each, expensive in my opinion.

We went last week for Christmas Eve & had the set festive menu. The food was absolutely incredible. The pub had a great atmosphere alongside live music playing. We stayed back for drinks & had the best evening! Parking is abit a nightmare here, so make sure you leave with plenty of time to spare in case you need to find alternative place to leave the car.

The best place for celebrating the new year 2025! Lovely food, great music! Warm, wonderful and friendly staff! We love this place! Nathan is a star and Ellie is an angel !

Very impressed with this pub. The food was excellent - best fish and chips I have had for a long time, the batter was perfect. Service was also good and the pub was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Thank you to all the staff at the very buzzing Warbler on Saturday 7th Dec for taking care of 22 of us in the Nest upstairs. The whole decor was tastefully festive. We had the Christmas menu which was delicious. Special mention for Brooke who was very professional, patient, efficient and lovely…x

Food was decadent, local, and satisfying. Service could've been five stars; however, the attentiveness of the staff was a bit lacking. Multiple servers for one table were a bit much. Overall, it was an amazing time for friends and family gatherings.

We just had christmas dinner here today, the food was amazing and Josh our waiter was the loveliest waiter we have had in a while! So happy and helpful!The christmas decorations were so nice too! Thanks for having us for christmas it was amazing will definitely recommend and come for dinner again!xx

Had a great meal, food and service was fantastic, well done to all the staff

We had our Christmas dinner here tonight 20th December. It was incredibly busy but the service from Miles Nelson was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Nice pub in a good location with semi separate seating areas so you don't feel crowded in. We didn't eat but the beers and wines were good. A better selection of hand pulled beers would have gained the extra star

Great places to eat, the atmosphere is amazing, always buzzing, especially if they have a band or open mic night on.

Food portions are very small, they’ve been downsized despite a price increase. Very disappointing meal with my husband and neighbours. Unfortunately not good value for money. Lovely location though.

Very good pub, been there for a couple of drinks with colleagues, and they were all pretty happy, location is big and warm

Katy looked after our large table, she was awesome! The Sunday roast was tasty and came quickly

(NEW CUSTOMERS BE AWARE PORTION SIZES AND PRICE FOR SUNDAY LUNCHES ARE NOT WORTH IT, TURKEY YOU PAY EXTRA) Me and my partner thought it would be nice to visit for a sunday lunch, given we have been here before for meals other than a sunday lunch what could go wrong. We ordered our sunday lunch one standard with turkey and one gluten free, there were no parsnips, carrots were tiny only two and the turkey looked like you could get it out a can from tesco, only received one pigs in blanket but as i had a glueten free meal they put in one more! the portion sizes were absurd! (Extremely less then you would expect). I mean you go out to restaurants to pay for a service to enjoy your time without needing to cook at home! Not to mention the price absolutely expensive costed around £54 for two people. There are better places than this. Although the staff were friendly and did provide on the house desserts I still think they should really talk to the chefs and not stinge out on the food portion sizes. I also reached out to management via email and they were looking into it but its been over a week now and not heard back. Really disappointed with the experience.

Great place up by the canal. Drinks are very expensive large white wine cost me £9.75!

Wonderful meal, delightful place

5 star place, everything was spot on.

Popped in for early dinner and was not disappointed. Food was very reasonably priced and served really quickly. Great staff, very friendly and excellent location.

Great food, service and vibe on 23/11/24. I booked for a party of ten as this venue had been recommended - would definitely visit again. Brooke is a great Waitress! From Nicole

Great food and service. Well recommended.

Enjoyed the meal and our server was excellent

We went with our friends and had a lovely meal. The staff were very friendly and food was fantastic.

Aside from the pub having a beautiful atmosphere to it, with gorgeous decorations; the prices and desserts were terrible. Not only is it shocking that a coffee costs £4.50, but also the desserts were cold, the sticky toffee pudding was cold and thick like a cake not pudding, and the creme brulé wasn't tasty. The prices for it werent great either, so I expected the desserts to be really good... Beautiful place but if you want to charge so much for everything, at least keep high quality.

Very nice place for a Sunday roast. It’s a busy pub but worth the visit.

It was my first visit here today, staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing quality and worth the price 100% the decor was lovely and cosy! We will be back!

A lovely meal, the slow cooked beef is amazing 😍

My dad's 80th birthday celebrations we had a private room which was beautifully decorated. Staff were very attentive and our meals were brought out together and excellent food. We are booked for our next birthday celebrations.

Fantastic buzzy venue. A lot of money was spent to create an amazing pub/restaurant! The atmosphere was great but unfortunately I feel the food, particularly the mains are not as good as when it first opened. They look very minimalist, mains don't look attractive at all. They seem expensive for what they deliver. The puddings however were lovely.

Met up with friends from work, following my absence from work after the death of my husband. Warm and friendly atmosphere, with smiling staff. the menu seems to offer something for everyone and my beef burger and the chunky chips which went with it were excellent. Great idea to offer coffee and a mini dessert, just finished the meal nicely.

Nathan, Christie and team were so so accommodating when choosing the room upstairs to host my baby shower. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was perfect and the service was incredible. Thank you again

Love this place. Best fish n chips I've eaten by far and they skin the fish

Visited for Sunday Roast. Food was great value and the service was excellent. Will definitely be returning.

Nice place to have a drink, dinner or lunch!! Perfect for long summer afternoons and cozy for the winter! One of our favorite places in MK

We went here for lunch. Sat outside with dogs, didn’t need to book. I had the best steak frites I’ve ever had, including in France. Lovely little bit of tender ribeye, cooked to perfect medium rare. Not too many fries, making it a perfect lunchtime portion. Sometimes less is more. Excellent, friendly staff, closely supervised by eagle-eyed managers who were present regularly. The place is very big with lots of seating options, including an upstairs balcony overlooking the canal boat marina. I look forward to going back. A lot. Edit: We have been back several times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The only issue is that the car park is far too small, to the degree we park at Campbell Park by the canal near the cricket club and hike in. Slight pain in the a…..

We came in for our mums 80th birthday celebration and our server Nathan was excellent - really attentive and helpful and even remembered my mums name and sang happy birthday. He really made the experience a good one and would recommend him as a server in future

Had a lovely pint on a sunny autumn day and watched a few narrow boats pass by. Bar staff very nice.

Lovely food, ambience & staff!!!

Lovely food nicely served in lovely surroundings

Nice location and facilities but portions are small for the price. The food was okay but should be better quality at the price point. For us, the broccoli stems were al dente but this led to them being very woody and some portions of chips were not fully cooked, but others were fine. The desserts were all very good though, as is the gluten-free menu.

Ice cream didn't taste like vanilla. There's no need for 2 fishes. I was already full with one fishm it's unnecessary. Just have one big fish.

Great food and good service. I had the slow cooked rib of beef. Delicious 😋

Nice pub / restaurant. Due to the age of it and the style, does feel like you’re walking into somewhere in the US that trying to be British… if you go you’ll know what I mean. Meal and location was very pleasant.

Amazing food and service and decor and prices

Expensive and the first time I've had a la carte size gammon steak for 17.50

We went for Sunday dinner, it was quite busy, the wait for the main dishes was about an hour. Thankfully, we ordered starters, so we weren't left hungry. The steak was excellent, though the portion could have been a bit bigger. but if you get a starter (which was also really good), it balances out. The total cost was £70 for two adults and a child, which seemed reasonable.

Really attentive staff and lovely food and dog and child friendly but without being too much

Just a drink this time, but very impressed we will be back. A huge plus is they allow dogs inside.
