Blue Scrumpy left this review about Brewhouse & Kitchen

Chain pub in the main pedestrianised shopping area of Milton Keynes. It is surrounded by other bars, restaurants, hotels, theatres and other entertainment venues.

I'm not a particular fan of this chain of pubs and staff in this branch didn't exactly make our experience any better. Despite being the only customers, they tried to persuade us that it was table service only. Although I didn't fully hear what they were trying to tell me and stood at the bar regardless. Eventually they served me, but it wasn't the friendliest of encounters.

Just a couple of their beers were on - 12th Street & Colossus. I tried the 12th Street, but as usual I wasn't impressed. There were also a number of craft beers and ciders.

Brewing equipment is apparent amidst the seating areas which are spread over different floors. The drinking environment is pleasant enough, but service and beer quality let the place down.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Brewhouse & Kitchen

Probably the best place for a pint in central Milton Keynes, not that there's a plethora of stiff opposition... Looks like it was created from two adjoining units on slightly different levels, one of which contains the brewing equipment under a high ceiling. There are two separate seating / dining areas in the part housing the surprisingly compact bar, with a mezzanine above and private rooms at both first and second floor level. Only two of the four handpumps was in use when I visited, pouring a Smoked Porter (£4.85, 3.5) and Leaping Man golden ale. Ten craft beers (mostly their own) and a couple of ciders available on the various counter founts, with nine more (mostly guests) from a row of taps on the bar-back.

Close to the town’s main shopping centres, Campbell Park and the Milton Keynes Theatre, this is a smart new-build brewpub from the ever-expanding chain. The bar is in the left-hand, raised part of the pub and has limited seating and a bit of a disjointed feel to it, thanks to various pillars and the steps down to the main part of the pub. There’s an open kitchen just past the end of the servery, with a white tile surround and some standard tables and chairs opposite, whilst comfier options can be found in a small lounge area just around the corner. The stairs lead down to a circular lower-level space with red velvet banquettes and button backed bench booths around much of the perimeter, an open space full of high tables and stools to one side and the brewery equipment taking pride of place across two levels in the very centre of the room. Interestingly, the brew plant had a sign on it which read ‘The Upside-Down Brewery’, which I could only assume was a reference to the way in which they have configured the brewing apparatus. The room has a bare boarded floor, large windows to one side looking out to a nice patio garden, a large malt store cupboard, over-sized cog-wheels and other such industrial-themed items on the walls and a really great feature wall made from curved sections of old wooden barrels. Images of hops have been painted around the upper part of the walls, a ‘Periodic Table of Beer’ was painted elsewhere and the improbably high ceiling had light fixtures made from old cable spools. It all comes together nicely to create a comfortable, beer and brewing themed room that I really enjoyed spending time in. There was also a TV screen showing a subtitled daytime TV programme whilst pop music quietly played in the background and a collection of board games for punters to choose from.
As with other such branches of this chain, the cask ale is all home-brewed, with Colossus, 12th Street, Leaping Man and Webber’s Stone the four beers available on this visit. I found the beer here to be in fine condition, whilst the food we sampled was tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, although one waitress had a weird habit of starting to address us from some distance away as she approached the table, resulting in a few moments of confusion as we’d not realised she’d been talking to us!
I really liked this place and thought they’d done a great job of creating a characterful new-build pub with lots of interesting content, plenty of comfortable seating and some good home brewed beer. Milton Keynes doesn’t really do independent pubs in its town centre, but if you’re going to drink in a chain, you could certainly do a lot worse than this fine venue.
