Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Victoria Inn
Good Beer Guide in the old village of Bradwell swallowed up by the expanding new town of Milton Keynes. Modernised, but the tri-part interior retains some character in the central bar, with an extra and slightly lower seating area to the left and a pool room on the right-hand side. A fencing beer garden with a gravel surface can also be found at the front. Beer-wise, three of the four handpumps were in use, pouring 6X, the English Bitter from Stardust and Bowland's Deer Stalker (both £4.50).

A traditional, stone built pub in the centre of the old village. There are a few benches on a patio area at the front and on a recent visit there was also a “To Let” sign up. Hopefully this is not a sign of imminent closure.
Inside it’s quite traditional and perhaps a little dated. A public bar is off to the right with a pool table, darts board and a plasma stuck up on the wall, although this was not in use. The flooring is predominantly carpet with some tiling around the bar counter. The lounge off to the left is split in to two, one part down a couple of steps. Decor wise it’s fairly similar, with red, leather button back bench seating around the perimeter and tables and chairs elsewhere. There were a few old bits and pieces around such as a candlestick telephone, and old wooden radio and a chest of drawers. Another plasma was stuck up on the wall here although this was not in use either. Instead background music was provided courtesy of the digital juke box. There were a couple more fire-places, one of which had a few coals burning away. A table video game was an unusual feature.
There were a few old boys who were presumably locals sat around chatting, and they struck me as friendly enough, unlike the reviewer below. That was fairly early on a mid-week evening however; it may of course be different at other times.
Beers on tap were Adnams Southwold, Marstons EPA and Doom Bar. Ciders were Stowford Press and Strongbow.

Claims are made in the local newspaper that this place serves beer from the local brewery. If you ask for this beer, the bar staff just answer with blank stares.
It's a scary place - you're far better advised to go to the pub over the road.
