As a Milton Keynes blogger I often get out and about around the city. Milton Keynes (“MK” to the locals) is just north of London in Buckinghamshire and despite the press giving us far too much coverage about concrete cows and the excessive volume of roundabouts, the city has a huge amount to offer.
On my blog I write MK restaurant reviews, days out in and around MK and cover off my experiences at various places around the city that I find interesting.
Slowly but surely I’m working my way around the growing number of restaurants that Milton Keynes has to offer with my most recent meal being at Jamie’s Italian on Silbury Boulevard within the Centre:MK. Quick and Easy Dining Jamie Oliver’s latest book is centred around “Quick & Easy Dining” which […]
Last weekend I was kindly invited to The Wheatsheaf in Bow Brickhill (on the outskirts of Milton Keynes) for dinner. The pub has received a top to bottom makeover and within just 4 short weeks has been transformed into a modern looking bar and grill with a London inspired design. […]
Pizza Express is one of those restaurant chains that now appears on every high street up and down the country and they all look and feel the same. That does of course bring a sense of familiarity to the brand but it also means a lack of personality and localisation. […]
Weekends for me are all about relaxing and enjoying the money that I bust my gut to earn 5 days per week. This usually comes in the form of eating out in and around Milton Keynes. This Sunday was no different and so I decided to head to Zizzi Italian […]
If you’re a follower of my blog you’ll know that I head out for dinner in Milton Keynes fairly often. I like to mix things up a little and so where possible I try to head to new restaurants and pubs to see what I’ve been missing out on all […]
Last night I headed out for dinner at The Garage in Buckingham to celebrate a friends birthday. The restaurant hasn’t been open for long and so it offered us the opportunity to try out somewhere new. First things first, sort out an outfit for dinner. With it being a cold evening […]
Hi everyone! I’m Chiino, a reseller with a blog. Nick kindly gave me the chance to post here, and the first thing that came to mind was how good the charity shops in Milton Keynes are. What’s Treasure Hunting? Treasure hunting is exactly what you think it is: the act […]
On a very wet and windy Saturday evening I headed over to The Prince George pub in Tattenhoe, Milton Keynes for dinner with my family. The pub is still fairly new having only opened in Feb 2014 and in true British style was named after Will and Kate’s royal baby. […]
Last weekend I headed to Turtle Bay at The Hub in Milton Keynes for a taste of something different – casual dining with some Caribbean food. Turtle Bay in a chain in the UK, sure, however there aren’t many places I can name or even think of that serve Caribbean […]
Milton Keynes isn’t a destination you may think of when it comes to comedy however over the past couple of years the MK comedy scene has been rapidly growing with numerous TV celebs making appearances around the city. Personally I absolutely love a good comedy night out with one of […]
At the weekend I headed across to The Don Indian restaurant in Milton Keynes for dinner – having been for dinner at Middletons Steakhouse last weekend and had a pretty abysmal experience I was hoping an Indian restaurant might revive my faith in eating out! My usual Indian routine in Milton Keynes typically […]
Yesterday Sarah told me that she had secured herself a new job which was fantastic news. I wanted to celebrate the occasion and so decided to take her out for a fancy dinner in Milton Keynes and chose Middletons Steakhouse & Grill as the destination. We’d been to Middletons a […]
Most weekends I, like many people in UK, try to find new places to visit and experience. It always feels a bit like you’ve done everything locally however every now and then someone mentions somewhere to you that you were completely unaware of. Last week a guy at work mentioned […]
With the sun shining and an afternoon spare, yesterday Sarah and I headed over to the MK Feast in Bradwell Abbey, Milton Keynes. The event was positioned as a fun family day out with food stalls and locally produced products. I had no idea how busy the event was going […]
Living in Milton Keynes presents a number of challenges and stigma from work colleagues and strangers alike… “it’s just a load of roundabouts”, “it’s not a proper city”, “there’s nothing there” etc. however most of those comments tend to arrive from those that have either merely passed on through on […]
So last weekend my friends and I headed over to Stony Stratford in Milton Keynes for yet another round of the annual zombie pub crawl! This was the 2nd time I’d been along, last frequenting the zombie filled pubs back in 2012. This year we decided to rave it up […]
Last night I headed over to Willen Lake in Milton Keynes for the International Festival. This is a 10 day event put on by internationally renowned music organisation, The Stables, which has been running since 2010 across various locations of Milton Keynes. The organisers describe the event as, “a world-class, […]
On Sunday 22nd June I headed over to the National Bowl in Milton Keynes for an afternoon of music with several great bands. It was an all day event with the running order for the day comprising of: Last Internationale Twin Atlantic Haim Kings of Leon The National Bowl The […]
