Started off at the Coachmakers in Newport Pagnell, a pleasant place for a drink, the patrons and the bar tenders were all very welcoming. The choice of ‘ale’ however, limited.

This month, our last review of 2023, we chose a Thursday to visit Patley. Even so, the restaurant was quite busy, especially when you consider there is plenty of competition in the area.

As we entered there was nice greeting from the staff and they seemed genuinely pleased to see us. The table was ready and they settled us in for our drinks and pops. The pops were good and the dips were varied and plentiful. Worth also saying here that the staff were very good all evening, some of the best we’ve seen, only let down slightly by a little slow with the starters. However, everyone was polite, efficient and generous.

Really difficult to criticise any of the food but you will find a bit more detail in the positive/negative section below.

Very good value, with generous sized portions. We would certainly recommend a visit.
