THE BIRCH REVIEWS

First time here today. Great initial impressions as the bar area is very welcoming. Excellent customer service, and the option to preorder the food before getting to your table is a really good idea. Very comfortable seating in a bright and clean dining area. Really good food across 3 courses plus coffee. Generous portion sizes and very reasonable pricing. Definitely returning. The politeness of the staff deserves special praise.

I’ve been wanting to dine at The Birch for years. We finally made it there last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. The exterior has beautiful hanging baskets making the entrance very inviting. The interior décor is lovely and bright yet has a calm, relaxing feel. All the staff were so friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The food was delicious. We both had a starter and a main and shared the cheese board. I would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again.

First time visiting The Birch, we normally go to the sister restaurant The Black Horse at Ireland. The staff at The Birch were friendly and attentive. There was a relaxed atmosphere which was inviting. The food was delicious I have the Ham Hock Terrine to start followed by the Lamb shoulder served with mash and mushroom finished with a Apple and Blackberry Crumble with Custard. Everything was define! We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend well worth a visit!

BROWNS MILTON KEYNES REVIEWS

Found on the corner of the Hub in the city centre.. There's parking nearby in plenty of road side spaces ( it costs ) or you can walk from the main shopping centre which took 10 minutes.. You can book a table online. Service was very fast, and the staff seemed happy to be there. The atmosphere is up market and the decor is modern, with a piano near the entrance. The food was nice and had plenty of flavour.

I was booked in here as part of a group booking whilst on a work trip. The service was excellent, we had to pre order which actually I find the easiest thing to do when you’re out with a few of you, and they served the food by the persons name which again was just easy. Lovely salmon starter and the main chicken schnitzel was very good - with an egg on top too! Didn’t have desert as was so full, the portions are a decent size. Nice lager on draught so kept fed and watered all evening!

Really nice place for a breakfast or brunch. Very friendly stuff and tasty food. Really liked black pudding in traditional breakfast. Mocktails were beautifully garnished. I’ve been there some time ago but definitely recommend!

THE CROSS KEYS REVIEWS

The service is fast and the food comes out in minutes. The staff is always kind and helpful (they are always asking if everything is OK or something is missing!). The Hand Battered Fish is my favorite dish here, but my family loves others like the Fish Platter, Burger… and of course the kids menu. They have private parking and better to book in advance. Very recommended!!!

Booked Thursday lunchtime for myself and my work colleagues, and it did not disappoint. Even though lunchtime was bustling with a vibrant atmosphere, service was absolutely spot on . Polite and efficient without being overbearing. Food was absolutely spot on and represented excellent value for money all things considered . Will definitely return with friends and family.

Have eaten here several times and never disappointed. Food is delicious, extremely well presented and top quality. Great choice of dishes and a wide range, and feels much more expensive than it is. Great for vegetarian, vegan and gf. Service superb. Lovely decor. Would highly recommend.
