Secklow Hundred, Milton Keynes
Yes its good, and will benefit from a large gathering due to the opening of two large hotels next door. Good starting point.

A steady pint in here is a definite, but try to ignore the fellow drinkers who will be ridiculously pretentious.

Had a party here and yes its dingy, but the life size model of Lothar Matthaus more than made up for the interior. My impression of Andreas Brehme did not go well though especially as one of the waiters looked a little like Peter Shilton, and attempting to lob him with a packet of pork scratchings aided with a deflection off my mate did not go down to well with the doormen, or my head consequently hitting the pavement!

Whilst studying in Newport, I visited this pub to try and Watch the Cricket one evening. Kent Vs Hampshire, the landlord happily put the game on, and in the end most of the local got involved in the game. Nice friendly pub

Really is a winner here. Great to take a partner or first date! Plush, well run, good drink, excellent meals. Top Draw.

Was once the head of Daventry's late licence world, now has become one of a few. Has benefited from a number of refurbishments, they notice a new face here, which of course is good and very bad! I suggest you take the 10 or so mile drive to Northampton.

Popped in on a themed Serie A night, was quite amusing, went as Paolo Maldini myself, but did not try the Karoake, my favourite moment was when a bloke dressed as Alessandro Del Piero sang Rick Astley's "Whenever you need somebody". Decided to leave when a Totti Wannabe tried to sing Joe Dolce's Shaddup ya Face!

This place is famous for the drunk Steve Ryder lookalike who stumbles around shouting and threatening the youth of Bath whilst swigging from an always empty bottle of Gold Label, Of which most of it has gone down his beige Pringle pullover!

Spent an intriging Saturday night in here, waiting to go home after a all-dayer, thought the place was quite dull, but just before Midnight, myself and a few of the locals got down to a bit of Rage against the Machine, had to be stopped when one rather drunk reveller smacked his head off the pool table.

Seems to have a high regard of its self as most of the customers do to! However if you like me have been to many of this chain's bars before, you will know that this one is quite small and not as good. Sorry!

Hidden away in Calverton, is this gem overlooking the Bucks Countryside. Can be prone to have strange live music nights involving some musician with a fiddle, but is worth going for a relaxed session.

Recently refurbished and looks good. Its reputation with Lads & Ladettes is probably unfair as it has a wide range of clientele. As with most pubs in Stony I don't think you can go wrong.

The Rat and Parrot, Milton Keynes
Like most Rat & Parrots around the country, this one might just have had its day. Still it might turn into a Walkabout soon. (Please)

A quick drink here will not do any harm. Besides they have Hoegaarden on tap.

This pub firmly fits in to a scene, a scene of partucular music genres, if its dance/trance you like then this is your place. If like me that music gets you agitated and angry then its best avoided. Have witnessed numerous times gangs of lads in tracksuits hanging around outside. You have been warned.

The White Horse, Stony Stratford
Cosy as previous reviewer says, the two large screens dwarf the pub a bit, and sometimes on evenings its so dark its like visiting an old cellar. Very popular, but beer is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is friendly.

I have to say although not to my taste, this pub would suit alot of people. It has a lot of live music and if that is your scene, you will not be disappointed.

Ahh the life of branded pubs is well alive if this place is anything to go on. Popped in on FA Cup final day to find the place swarming, very expensive and very much like a Walkabout only American and not as good.

Yes it is it slightly Townie, but I think its a mild haven from some of the tight rules of other establishments in Milton Keynes. Yes you can wear trainers, yes you can wear non collared shirts, and yes you can drink till late. Unfortunately you may get the odd psycho but hey its about the drink not the clientele. Isn't it??

The Old Swan, Bletchley
This pub is fairly decent and with good beer, a decent mp3 jukebox and a sporty theme throughout, its one of the better in Bletchley.
