The Warbler On The Wharf in Milton Keynes

Had a meal on a Wednesday night, the food was good and Nathan who served us was very attentive.

Food was good but portions can be quite small. Lovely location

We didn't eat here, but enjoyed visiting for the bar area and beer on sale.

Good food selection that was very tasty. Also a nice drink selection ! Amazing atmosphere with plenty of space inside. Also gives you an old pub vibe even though it is only a few years old.

Booked a table for 11 people from age 5 to 80 and all enjoyed the experience. Slightly negative review of the vegan sausages from one of the children but everything else, from starters to desserts, was excellent.

We visited to meet family for lunch, the staff were all friendly and super attentive. Good gluten free options!

Never enough bar staff cover but always friendly, food is really nice and tasty, possibly a little overpriced as its trying to be posh nosh.. I always feel comfortable here though. Great for a family get together.

Had a great time with friends, staff very friendly, tables nice and clean, food was nice and cooked well, our friends went again the next day, we will be back again soon as we don't live close by.

Went to the Warbler today and had such a nice time. Truly attentive staff. Lovely food. Great atmosphere. Even though it was Easter Sunday we didn’t feel rushed or neglected by our server whatsoever. Will definitely be back!

Love ending our dog walks at the warbler. Great food, lovely welcoming staff and a great dog friendly environment especially the comfy floor for the dogs to sit on

If I could give no stars I would. Our dogs and us have been coming to you for years and many of your team recognise them and say hello. We always make a reservation to sit anywhere that is convenient to the restaurant and always ask for an extra chair so we can pop Truffle and Peanut - who are like a size 11 shoe size - in their protective donut where they stay and are exceptionally well behaved and out of the way to all and not under anyone's feet to fall over. I have absolutely no words for your waiter today and rude manager - Easter Sunday - for the way they spoke to us when we asked for an extra chair - as always - to be told we have made a booking for 4 and we have 4 chairs, and we will not get another chair as dogs are only allowed on the floor. Which is clearly not the case as you can see from these pics two weeks ago. So we left which was very disapppointing as we had another 2 guests with us. Really shocking and rude customer service from the team.

Went to the Warbler for a Sunday roast and the whole experience was amazing. Attentive, professional and friendly staff from welcoming us to taking our order and drinks. The roast beef was fantastic and my wife’s roast pork was also amazing. Will definitely be back in the near future. Would also like to thank the entire team for making our two little dogs feel welcome,we really felt comfortable about the entire experience as they really are dog friendly.

Great food and great service. They are really dog friendly as well which is a big plus! Highly recommend this place :)

Superb. Second time I've been here and the food and beer excellent. Was sad they'd run out of roast dinners but the fish was superb

..Chantelle, bar person of the year. No bird spotting involved.

Celebrating a mates birthday here and the food was 10/10 every one on the table was satisfied with their meal myself too. Steak fritters and peppercorn sauce and Prawns starters is a must.

Cracking place to eat, superb food , super friendly staff..popped in on the offchance of getting a table..definately a recommend...

Absolutely can not thank Warbler for hosting our wedding venue last week. Christie was absolutely amazing with her team. Our intimate wedding held in the nest room was very beautiful. Everyone commented on how wonderful the food was especially the steak. We chose this venue due to myself having coeliac disease and knew I was safe eating here. The cocktails were delicious. We ate ever so grateful and so pleased we could have our wedding at a special place. Thank you so much. We will be back soon to dine.

Good bar in a nice location. Steak and fries good value at around £14. Staff are good and menu is big enough. Great in the summer.

Lovely place to bring the family. Dog friendly, good selection of beer and quality food. Beautiful location, with views over the canal. Vegan friendly too.

While I’ve not yet had the chance to eat here I certainly want to try, because it’s a wonderful venue for a drink, with a location that is great on a nice sunny day. Sitting outside overlooking the marina is beautiful and the decor throughout inside is very smart. All the bar staff are really friendly and even when it was busy were fast with the service. Prices are good for the location and the range of drinks offered is extensive. Great place and I’ll definitely be returning.

We went with a group. The food was great. I had the seabass special. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. A number of us had dessert too and there was a lot of clean plates. Katie was our hostess and she was so friendly and helpful. There were lovely views of the wharf and boats. Even though it was Tuesday night it was completely full so the word must have spread about this place.

I've been here a few times with family and have had no faults. Had my brother's wedding meal & reception /party here yesterday/last night, and the staff were great 👍 Even with my dairy allergy and my sister-in-law's celiac, we were confidently catered for, like we have been in the past. Though there aren't many vegan & DF options, there's plenty of great options especially compared to other places. Fantastic food last night. Also have mocktails, for those like myself who don't drink but fancied something a little more 'special'. Obviously OCCASSIONAL mistakes are made, but that's just easy human error and RARE in our experience, and they were always happy to help.

Went for a birthday dinner with over 25 of us. Managed brilliantly. Everything came out which was ordered and all pretty much at the same time. Highly recommend. If anything. Vegan options seemed quite limited

Had a beautiful meal and surprised my mother and father with a pregnancy reveal thanks to warbler and Katie for the wonderful service and warm company glad you was part of it will be back as soon as I can

Really great food, modern, spacious with good service.

Had a lovely meal for Mother’s Day. Service was great, Mason (our waiter) was very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious. Cooked and presented perfectly. Really nice place with a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

The surroundings are great and welcoming. Staff nice However, "traditional' fish and chips is unfortunately NOT cod or haddock..... was told afterwards it was Hake *would not have ordered if I had realised) chips were over cooked, not many of them and had a strange taste of the fat. Not enough mushy peas.

What a great place atmosphere great felt comfortable the service was great food excellent 👏 and it was very busy thank you for an amazing day 😀

Want to recognise the waitress CHANTEL, so lovely and so helpful and she went over and above to make it a great meal for the family.

Only ever been for drinks so can't comment on food! Bit pricy but very nice atmosphere and great location on the canal!

Was great to pop in for Sunday lunch. Roasts (beef and Veg options) could have been a little hotter, but overall the food was delicious, the service was good and accommodating. Venue still has it's own character despite being super new

We visited today and could not believe how rude the waiter in the restaurant was to us, before we even sat down. This was after being completely ignored by the staff who stood chatting at the door. The bar staff however couldn’t have been more friendly & professional. Our daughter was due to have her baby shower there today, which is why we went for something to eat, after a terrible week worrying about her and the early arrival of our grandchild. We couldn’t feel worse. Luckily we found another restaurant who welcomed us, had clearly been trained in customer service and we will recommend.

Food was fast to our table and supper tasty.

Went here for Sunday late brunch/early dinner with friends, and it was a great choice. Sunday toast chicken was huge, like really huge and I took it home. Service was nice, the design of the interiors as well. Highly recommend the place.

Lovely Pub / Restaurant. Highly Recommend

I have now been here numerous times but on this one particular occasion I have to say that the staff including be manager went above and beyond to make sure our experience was fantastic. From our initial tables in the bar area to the dinner table, we were well taken care of. Chantelle who was our waitress was simply amazing. Nothing was too much for her and the service flowed through seamlessly all through the evening. The manager was amazing too. Sorted out the tabs as we required them and then also the payment refund with respect to an already put down deposit on a corporate card. This is what makes loyal customers. I will definitely keep coming back and recommending this place to others.

A group of 10, everyone was loving the food, especially the steaks (referred to as exquisite), the duck (tender and full of flavour), and the coffee creme brulee (quotes as the best thing eaten in a long time) Looked after for the second time by Kirsty, who was brilliant

Came yesterday for a leaving meal, and we were looked after by Kirsty for a second time now. She was absolutely wonderful (again) and I have to thank her for her patience with us! She was constantly nearby to help, and it looked like she was juggling several large tables so effortlessly. The food was amazing, from the camembert starter and chicken skins, to cod loin, steaks, duck and fish and chips for the main, and coffee creme brulee for dessert, among many other things! Every dish was spot on and served beautifully! The lads working the bar were also really cheerful and lovely! Warbler will certainly be our go-to from now on, and we can’t wait to see Kirsty again. Many many thanks!

Absolutely in love with that place, our waitress was really friendly and nice:) good - delicious!

I had a 3 course meal the starter onion soup was plenty full, the main course cod loin was tiny a child like portion with a few token new potatoes and barely any spinach. Sticky toffee pudding was ok but nothing special over all for the cost the portions and standard were not reflected in the price.

Popped over to visit friends at the marina located by the side of this pub and decided to visit for a meal and drinks, food was on point atmosphere was friendly and buzzing with views over the marina. Overall cannot recommend this establishment enough and will certainly be paying a visit again in the near future

Food was good but a bit pricey. Service at a good pace without being too quick gave us chance to digest the courses. Music a bit loud when trying to talk as went with friends for a catch up but difficult to hear without shouting.

Amazing food, our waitress did a brilliant job and the dog was relatively well behaved. Very dog friendly pub

We had a great evening last Friday at the Warbler. We were a family party of nine. All our meals were excellent and the timings of each course were perfect. Olivia was a great and very patient waitress. It was a first visit for two of the family and they were very impressed with the ambience and loved their food. I was sorry I was too full up to eat a pudding as they looked and apparently tasted wonderful.

A really nice place, right by the canal and just across from Willen Lake. Car park is small but if you're on a bike ride along the redways of the canal then it's a nice little place to stop for refreshments. Oh yes, cracking Sunday roasts too! Enjoy.....

Never been before. Lovely decor and very clean. Although it got very busy everything ran like clockwork and we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks or roast dinners which were delicious. It was great to see a hospitality venue with the right compliment of staff to look after the amount of guests that were there. Lovely friendly service from our waiter Josh. Will definitely be back.

70th birthday for 30 service was very attentive, friendly and quick. Food was good with wide variety on offer and despite size if the order arrived together in reasonable time. Everyone was impressed by the Warbler

Charming pub in a lovely canalside location. Menu is great, if slightly on the expensive side, but food is worth the higher price point. Staff are always very welcoming, especially to any dogs who come in.

Updated 07/02/2024 Don't go here if you're hungry. The fish and chips was nice, but can't with barely any chips. They provided sauces in sachets which are hard to open - I used scissors on my multi-tool. The sticky toffee pudding was nice, but took 30 minutes to arrive (it came 2 minutes after I enquired about it) and it came with vanilla ice cream when I ordered honeycomb ice cream. The quiz was fun although they don't tell you when booking a table that you have to tell them in the notes that you are doing the quiz. ------------------- Far too much ice in my diet Coke (half a glass). The Wagu burger was average and only came with chips (only a small amount of the optional grilled cheese was added). A very small pot amount of mayonnaise was given. The Eton Mess was mostly cream and not much meringue. My wife's vegetation dish was good though, in terms of flavour and portion size. The service was ok. Plenty of available car parking spaces (at 7.30pm on Sunday night). The decoration and atmosphere are ok. Overall, the food was overpriced as it didn't meet the expected quality or portion size. There are other pubs and restaurants in Milton Keynes that offer better quality meals and value for money (e.g. same cost, but better meals).

Very nice place good atmosphere good food

Waited about an hour for our food , tried to served our starters same time as our main. Not sure why they did that. Which we asked not to. So Some of our starters were lukewarm and some of our mains were cold. Some of us were still chewing our starters when our empty plates were whipped away and our mains were served. . A few of us have been here before and had great food and great service. But this night wasn't as good . But would go back to eat again.

Really terrible. Food spent so long on the warmer, all the salad was wilted, knives too hot to touch. Presentation was poor compared to other pubs in the same chain. Disappointing. Hand driers were broken and there were no locks on toilet doors. Waited a long time for drinks and over an hour for food. Really unorganised.

Went for Sunday lunch really pleased with the service and the food was very good 👍 price was very good would highly recommend and all the staff were really friendly

Dog friendly. Didn't eat. But food looked amazing. Went on a Sunday. Really busy. Would say best to book in advance for food. We went for a yummy hot chocolate Good places to walk the dog. Parking was really busy and hard to get a space.

Great pub, Great food, Great staff. Been here a few time with family and friends. It has a lovely atmosphere. Family friendly (although no children's play area that I could see.) *Beware* if you're not a fan of dogs. They are allowed in this establishment although there is, no doubt, some sort of rule. Never been a problem though. Not the cheapest place on earth but pricing is reasonable and the food is great!! Will be visiting again soon!!

Really nice 👍 place and good 👍 food and service really would recommend the location is great for a walk before or after please visit

A group of 15 friends visited The Warbler on the Wharf, lunch time on the 31st of January. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, our experience was very positive. The food was good and the waitress (Kirsty) was a credit to the restaurant, cheerful and extremely helpful. Thank you,

Katie was an excellent host and made this a very enjoyable outing. Highly recommend her and this restaurant. Top waitress!!

Great place to eat. Very dog friendly with water available and treats at the bar. Excellent.

My favourite place… from just a coffee to lunch to dinner… great all round , staff are so friendly and helpful and atmosphere is always great

My Wife and I choose this venue to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, Saturday evening 27.01.2024. We would like to share our gratitude on the amazing experience we had all round. Food was delightful, service impeccable and atmosphere warming & comforting. Would like to say a special thank you to Bebe (front of house) for accommodating us with a requested quiet, romantic table.

I left a review of OUR experience at WARBLER it was not a nice experience for our 84th birthday guest of honour already it has been removed on 25th january

Ordered main and a dessert, they bought out my dessert first...then was swapped for my main, it was lasagna, nothing special...dry as if been left under the hotplate for too long or microwaved too long, garlic bread looked as if the bread has maybe been in the same room as the garlic at some point. £41 main dessert and drink The 2 stars are for the dessert.

Recommend this place, food was delicious (had the lasagna) service was great, waitress was friendly and helpful. Definitely going back again

Just been for Sunday lunch , atmosphere is great , food was warm not hot. Pork crackling was hard and dry like pork scratchings, service mediocre, real shame for the price . Wouldn’t eat there again. Was looking forward to it.

Ah! A jewel in the MK crown... The warbler on the wharf is an absolute delight of a place with a fabulous and varied menu on offer... the staff are polite and helpful... and there's a doggy area too which is not an afterthought in a dark and dusty part for a change.. it's all rather lovely and we will be back for sure.. pretty soon!!

We visited for a work gathering. We were a party of 8. The food was good, the service excellent. Our waitress, Katie, was superb at keeping us all fed and watered and regularly checked on us. Only suggestion for improvement would be to ensure the fires are on over winter. Would return.

Fantastic venue in MK. We have been here for lunch and dinner on numerous occasions Most recently, I held my 30th birthday here. We hired out the top floor. A huge thanks to all the staff everyone was fantastic and our guests had a wonderful time. All staff went above and beyond and they were a pleasure to deal with, nothing was too much for them! Thank you for helping to make my birthday special.

Out waitress Katie, was friendly, cheerful, helped with menu choices and made the dining out experience a pleasure.

Burn's Night was fantastice. Great food and service. The Piper and Drummer were brilliant.

Really nice new pub that has opened close to me. Good location and great on a hot day. Food is nice and a pretty good selection of drinks. Staff were very helpful and the service is getting better week on week since it opened. Some small issues with service when it just opened but no issues since. Edit: Recently held a private event here upstairs. The service was amazing and our guests had a great time. Food was complimented by everyone and the cocktails were made to perfection.

Cold steak and chips not appreciated

Went for an afternoon drink so did not have any food. Arrived after lunch session to a busy and active restaurant and bar lounge. Lack lustre service from the bar but nice welcome on arrival. Good, busy atmosphere with nice view over the marina. Lots of outside tables which would be very busy with warm weather. Family friendly with lots of children and dogs.

Rotary MK had its festive get-together in January in Warbler's lovely secluded area upstairs. 30 of us with a lovely buffet meal - which kept on coming. Staff could not do enough for us. Thoroughly recommend.

Found this pub today and was very impressed. Lovely inside,friendly staff, great roast and affordable prices. One of the best Guinness's ive had also. Highly recommend it. Will be coming again! Also good for families with kids

Good food, very good service from Leila, pleasant experience very popular and very convenient for where we live. Look forward to next visit

Lovely location and venue. Great food, and the upstairs is accessible via a lift.

We booked a table on a Saturday lunch and glad we did as it was very busy... in January! The lovely person at the door (sorry didn't catch their name), arranged a booth for us (and I was delighted with this). Hubby and I both ordered the fillet steak. Cooked to perfection and they changed my chips to the triple cooked ones. Staff were attentive and friendly. I had the pavlova for desert. Food is to an excellent standard and I love the decor/layout of the venue. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, great decoration and atmosphere. Nearby construction did not help though with the unpleasant smell outside. However inside it's fantastic, a bit on a steeper side cost wise, however overall very good. Recommended.

We came for my brother’s birthday on Xmas Eve and it was our first time here. We had the best time! The restaurant was lovely, the food was incredible (best Camembert I have ever had and I have had a few!) and our waiter was on it! He kindly took multiple pictures of us all as well (great photography skills). I can’t remember his name (sorry) but he was the tattoo’d guy. Wish we lived closer but will definitely return!

I was so disappointed. The service was poor and the food was worse. I ordered a wagyu burger but what I got was a very cheap burger from Iceland warehouse the server then dismissed me when I told her my thoughts. It was clear her had been told the burger was substandard before. The server added a £30 steak on to our bill but brushed it off like it was our fault. Will not return again EVER!

Don’t go here for a quick drink when it’s busy. I quite understand them not letting us sit down at tables laid for dinner but they wouldn’t even let us sit at unmade tables not in use because they were in the restaurant area not the bar area. Every table in the bar area was already taken and the restaurant was fairly quiet. We sat outside for a while but the temperatures were sub zero and there are no heaters outside. Drinks are also fairly expensive.

Nice and modern. Makes a nice change. Pleasant outlook overlooking the narrow boats in the marina.

Grandparents, parents and toddler for a Sunday lunch. Warm welcome and great food- thanks to Josh for serving! Baby enjoyed himself and we will be back.

Food was brilliant service was excellent will go back was there for bills mini bus and coach hire xmas party

Great pub, big bar and good atmosphere.

We celebrated a family 79th Birthday with seating for 24 guests. Great decor. Excellent buffet selection.

First experience at this restaurant and was amazing. The interior is well decorated (British pub style), spacious and well lit with views to the Marina. High atmosphere ! A table nearby was celebrating a 70th birthday and was contagious! The service is fast. Lovely and helpful staff. Giovana was super kind. Fish and Chips, wagyu burger and lamb shoulder are highly recommended. Kids menu option, dog friendly, private parking and better to book in advance. A reference in MK. Highly recommended!!!

Good food from set Xmas menu. Friendly service from staff. Nice atmosphere.

New Year's Day lunch with family at The Warbler. The food was excellent, great atmosphere, everyone was friendly & helpful. Special mention to our server, Gigi - thank you!

Had a lovely visit on Christmas Day, food and service was excellent. Highly recommend

Birthday lunch for my sister on new year's day 2024 with family. Food was amazing and the service was too. Lovely staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Gigi was absolutely amazing! Wonderful person made us feel absolutely welcomed and comfortable - brilliant food also!

We came on the 28th December with our friends and children. We arrived a little earlier than our booked table but were accommodated very quickly. Special mention goes out to our host Nathan, for looking after us so well, he was very attentive and patient...

Visiting family who suggested eating here. Excellent menu choice. Pork roast dinner was beautiful and the cherry pie was so tasty. Excellent & friendly service by Gi Gi Thank you

went Christmas eve.lovly and lively pub.

Overpriced Cheap quality of food My husband had a winter salad with prawns that cost £17 4 small prawns on a skewer and the rest made up of mushy kale and mushy butternut squash I had fish and chips Well it wasn’t cod or haddock...

Expensive pub food, however atmosphere was nice. Service was okay, slow but okay. If you don't spend money they don't seem to care to much about you.

The food is perfect quality 👌.... The service is excellent 👌...... The atmosphere is cozy ✨️.... The prices are bit expensive, but is worth. If is bit cheaper will be perfect (with 10%-15% cheaper)
