Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Milton Keynes

The restaurant was busy on Saturday night in the lead-up to Christmas, but it was easy to find. A little noisy, which was fully expected. Despite her hectic schedule, our restaurant attendant Anastasia was attentive and considerate of my dairy intolerance. The starters and main courses were delicious; however, I thought the dessert selection was limited for those who avoid dairy. We would be happy to return, as we had a wonderful experience.

Lovely pre-Christmas meal in central Oxford. We booked early after spending the day shopping and felt welcome and unhurried, although I’m sure they had a busy service. I also liked the layout - tables weren’t cramped together despite it being a compact venue. My oysters were spectacularly good, and my black bream main was cooked perfectly. My party also ate kidneys, rabbits and steak and had desserts. My chocolate dessert was a little one-dimensional, and the bread and sides were quite ambitiously priced for the quantity provided. However, overall, we thought this was a very enjoyable meal cooked and presented with evident skill and care.

Six course tasting menu plus amuse bouche. All courses were excellent, packed with flavour. The Carrots in a Thai broth were superb and packed a punch. I had the scallops for the third course which were excellent but my wife had the Mushrooms as an option they were even better. After the venison course 5 was a very clever palate cleanser (called a Snowball but was a yuzu granita with coconut and eggnog) before the final dessert. Every course has interesting and different flavours. Thomas, Howie and the rest of the staff are as good as they get. Friendly, helpful and efficient. A place for special occasions and a treat. My favorite restaurant.

Great selection of food options and lovely ambience

Had a great night visiting the Sky Lounge. The cocktails were great and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
