Situated in the tiny village of Great Brickhill in Buckinghamshire this pub is a great mix between hub of the community and classy country pub date material. On one side you have the restaurant serving up delicious local produce such as steak as well as a few spanish flavours (tony the landlord is from the canary islands) On the other side is the public bar with a few round tables and a roaring log fire in the winter months to keep you cosy. In the summer the garden is wonderful overlooking the beautiful countryside of aylesbury Vale. They also have various events throughout the year such as tapas nights and beer festivals. The drinks selection is good with some fine real ales and a decent selection of wines as well as some fine salty dog crisps to snack on if you're only there for a drink. Its also only 15 mins in the car from the centre of Milton Keynes so after a hard days shopping its a great place to unwind. Little known facts about this pub: the krays used to drink there as they had their countryside abode just across the road, Mick Jagger has had lunch there when researching the movie enigma. If you find yourself in this neck of the woods, i would heartily reccomend it.

Newport Pagnell is a hotbed of pubs. It truly offers everything from the venues favored by the…read moreunderage, the open mic nights, the old man boozers and the riotus kind of places where fights break out every night. The Dolphin has always seemed to be a spot for the fashionable over 25's (and occasional alcoholic in the corner) to come and enjoy a pint and a game of pool. On my visit last week, I was surprised to note it had been redecorated and generally smartened up (finally getting rid of the strange smell which had haunted the pub for quite a while). It's now a bright and cosy little drinking spot with a smoking garden added out back (a welcome change from being sent out to the street to enjoy a cigarette) and is under new ownership. Unfortunately, these changes have meant the cost of a pint has now increased; however, as the Milton Keynes area is now fast becoming a suburb of London it is to be expected to pay between £3.70 - £4.50 a pint at a selection of the pubs in the area. A round of two import lagers and a bog standard Stella was nearly £12 at the bar, which again, unless your headed to some of the well-known cheaper drinking spots in the area could be considered average. The menu has also been revamped and looks quite reasonably priced with a decent enough selection if you are meeting someone for a quiet lunch or caught needing to line your stomach before imbibing a few pints. Out of the selection of bars in the area, I have to say I do favor the Dolphin. It's quite "Vanilla" (nice, but nothing special), but at least with a fresh lick of paint it now looks clean and inviting for an occasional visit.

This pub will get good reviews on here, but it's distinctly formulaic (like EVERY Hungry Horse in…read morethe UK) and so distinctly average. Nothing wrong with that, and the staff do make an impact on the atmosphere, but last time I was in there, the kids were running riot and there was not much peace in the back section. Maybe it's changed very recently, but I'd rather have some peace with my Sunday Lunch, as well as the peas! It's easy to find, being right off of the Houghton Regis roundabout - enough car parking space and always people both in the sports bar and the family bar. A good night out is guaranteed if you go with the right attitude and a smile!
