Kingston Tavern, Milton Keynes

NEWSFLASH!

The Kingston Tavern has closed down! We drove past the place hoping to catch a quick lunctime drink there (we enjoy torturing ourselves by going to bad pubs for a laugh!) And all the windows have been boarded up, and the beautiful playground (that by the way was so dilapidated that any kid playing on it would get tuberculosis or worse) has even been dismantled and taken away by the bailiffs!

This pub had dire service, looked like the decor had been designed by Ronald McDonald's adolescent and Tempestuous brother and the beer was generally flat or the lines hadnt been cleaned!

The only thing it had going for it was convenience.

Lets hope that somebody gives the place a much needed refurbishment and a more commercially-minded operator takes over!

Having read the reviews of best pubs in Milton Keynes I recently had an excellent experience at Kingston Tavern which must mean that they have changed their Manager and it is now run correctly. The staff we attentive and everyone was friendly. The food was excellent.

Had the misfortune to eat lunch here recently - my partner ordered fish and chips and commented on it's taste which he thought was not right - I tried it and it was so off I had to spit it out into a napkin as the taste was so bad. I estimated that the fish was off by at least three days. The waitress witnessed this and offered a glass of water which I said no to as I had a soft drink. They refunded my partner's meal and took £1 off mine which I couldn't finish due to the taste in my mouth which wouldn't go away. Waitress apologised but didn't act surprised at what happened which was a bit worrying!! We are considering taking this further.

Avoid this place at all costs. Its supposed to be family frendly. We were left standing for 15 mins before staff told us there's no need to stand you just get a table. OK wer though - we ordered our food - 1 hour later it showed up - cold - the glasses were dirty. The place is messy and dirty. Not a pleasent experience.
