Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes

This particular outlet of Tim’s empire was built in 1995, so its modern looking and very light and airy , being floor to ceiling glass on three sides. And actually Whetherspoons have made a very good job at matching this pub to the surrounding Milton Keynes central shopping area. Meaning it is soulless, boring and completely void of any character. I’ve had the misfortune to go to this barn on a couple of Friday lunchtimes because as Mr Badger says below there is very little choice for the poor patrons who work close to Milton Keynes centre. And I can report that not a lot has changed with regards to the service and beer availability over the intervening three years of the previous review. Fortunately on my last visit Hook Nortons Old Hookey was on and a decent pint, which made the trip almost bearable, especially with the beer at £1.50 when utilising the 50p off Camra vouchers.

Takes an age to get served, even when you are the only one at the bar and there's two staff behind the bar. What looked like a wonderful selection of ale was 90% not on, and the small amount they had on was seved ice-cold (what's that all about?) But in the real-ale desert that is central Milton Keynes, it's the best you're going to get. Which is a shame.
