My rating is marked down due to the appearance and atmosphere the customer service and food is great.

Impressive. I was staying at a nearby hotel and walked past a couple of times during my stay before deciding to drop in for a drink. There were three groups of people enjoying drinks when I arrived. Unfortunately, I got there half an hour before closing so there wasn't any time to try anything from their kitchen. Although they had several beers on tap, it didn't feel like a beer atmosphere to me. Their cocktail menu had lots of choices and I would probably have sampled a few things if I had come earlier. In the end, I had a Pina Colada. It was actually quite good so I imagine their other drinks would have been good also. Next time...

In a city with such little heart it's a blessing that somewhere so honest and true has prevailed,…read moreagainst all the odds. That somewhere is The Cricketers, Milton Keynes. Whilst my experiences here are limited to Thursday's "Curry Club", prior to the rugby last night, that singular experience transcended normality, taking me and my colleagues to formerly uncharted territory in terms of our gastronomic Weltanschauung. Besides the aforementioned Balti-Bonanza, the pub's kitchen produces food offerings covering all corners of the globe, including American, British, Italian and even fusion via their unique "Mix-it-up Buckets". Rarely in life do you find such culinary variety in one place. Lager lovers are very well served here as The Cricketers boasts Stella Artois, Carlsberg, San Miguel and Coors Light on tap - a line-up more impressive than the '98/'99 United team. From an entertainment perspective you'll find SIX fruit machines, a top quality Winmau Blade 4 dart-board (as used in BDO professional competitions), a pool table and many, many televisions. There truly are very few places on God's Earth that stir the soul in the way The Cricketers in Milton Keynes does. Bravo.

When I got there I found out it shuts before the advertised time on the web. When I pointed this…read moreout the waitress didn't care a jot even though I pointed out this could be very disappointing for customers coming from out of the area. I have several food intolerances so when asking about the ingredients in their homemade cakes I got a message back via the waitress that she can't guarantee the cakes were free from what I was intolerant to. As people with food intolerances are always ending up having to go without gorgeous food, I asked if I could have more detail of what was in the cakes so I could make a decision on what it was I could or couldn't eat, just in case there was something I could have. This was very obviously an inconvenience to the waitress and the manager who had baked them. She tried again to say she couldn't guarantee anything because obviously this was the quickest way to solve the issue for herself, but after explaining that I'd like to try to see if there was something I could eat, it was again very plain that I was wasting her time. It was late afternoon and they weren't busy, so I would have appreciated a couple of minutes of her time without the attitude. After finding out there was indeed a piece of cake I could eat, I sat down to enjoy it only to be served it with more attitude by the waitress. If she could have got away with grunting at me I sure she would have! I unfortunately had to ask for a pot of hot water as the tea didn't come with one, and AGAIN got a look saying 'are you bothering me again?!'. Cleanliness was also not great with tea-stained table clothes, dying roses on the table, and also dust on the teapot holding the roses which was next to an open sugar bowl which no doubt had the same amount of dust in it! Also, amazingly, a dog walking around the kitchen area with it's bed behind the serving counter!! (Yes, I am about to inform environmental health dept!!) Lastly, my table was being cleared before I had finished. I did notice however, that the other table still in there didn't have their table touched, so I'm guessing that was a touch of nastiness from the waitress also. I was there looking for a place to take 18-20 friends for my birthday which is coming up soon as we fancied a gorgeous afternoon tea, but we will definitely be going somewhere else after that experience!
