The Ship Ashore in Milton Keynes

Lovely pub great service, no food currently needs a sign outside saying this unless I missed it. Been twice in last 3 weeks both times kitchen was closed. Generally a lovely place to eat and drink.

The toilet facilities were out of order when I visited and they seem to have been having problems for quite a while cause they were out of order the last time I visited. The pub is in desperate need of a refurb inside and out as it’s looking a little dated and run down. You wouldn’t believe this is a step up in quality (M&B pub) from the giffard pub down the road that is looking great. The only thing I come for now are the staff, great banter and very professional. Tia the landlady is doing such a great job with so little, well done her and all her staff.

Arrived around 1pm, party of 5. They were fairly busy. Waited over an hour for our meals, which weren't as described. The steak sandwich had barely even seen a cow, the salad I ordered was described as a tabbouleh which traditionally contains bulgar or other grains. There were none. The waitress clearing the table next to us continually ignored us while we waited, no eye contact at all. She was perhaps embarrassed at how long the food was taking but a little banter and eye contact never hurt anyone. Eventually another waitress rocked up with some lukewarm chips to share to keep us going, which was good because at that point I was about to eat my own arm. Pretty disappointed given that pre covid I'd been a regular and always had good service. Hopefully it was a one off bad day for them.

We went in for lunch today and the food was amazing both our meals were perfectly cooked. I ordered surf and turf but no prawns came out to start with but when we mentioned this they were cooked straight away and out in a few minutes. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Everything was great apart from we ordered from the app and no drinks came, so after a long wait, called waitress over. Apparently, there is a problem with the process of the drinks not coming with the order. Apart from this, food was great and kids enjoyed theirs too.

Poor service. Pub wasn't very busy. Ordered 3 lunches. All wrong. 2 katsu chicken burgers turned up just plain. No sauce. Cow and chicken burger no bacon or onion rings. Ended up having to eat meals at separate times as had to recook one dish and alter 2. Not offered any compensation. Wouldn't rush back. Basic customer service skills lacking. Poor training of staff.

Had lovely dinner, chicken a little over cooked but the rest of the food was perfect!Also everything else, the service, the atmosphere, the choice of gins and in fact the whole restaurant was exactly what I expected and needed for my Friday evening, with a friend. I have recently moved to this area, and I can imagine making this my local! Great job!

Liam is a top dog first time walked in there remember our names and ever since knows our drinks top lad should own this pub fantastic with staff and customers

Friendly team, good food and range of drinks. Quiz nights twice a week Only thing letting the venue down is it looks tired, but the Management need the Brewery to pull their fingers out to sort this.

Friendly staff. We went at lunchtime when quiet but still had to wait 45 minutes for food. When it came one of the dishes was wrong but got sorted quickly. The soup tasted nice but wasn't hot and very little quantity in shallow bowls. Nachos were nice though. I doubt if we will go back
