Review of: The Barge Inn, Woolstone, Milton Keynes

3/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 22 Jan 2007

The Barge is housed in an old building next to the Grand Union Canal, in the pretty 'village' of Woolstone (now part of Milton Keynes). It looks like it's been a pub for decades. With this olde worlde charm and canalside location this should be a great pub. Instead it's decidedly average.

Part of the Vintage Inns chain (owned by the brewery Bass, if I remember correctly), the pub has been done out to look authentic and cottagey, but the impression is pretty fake. There are always a couple of Real Ales on tap which seem reasonably well kept, but the emphasis is really on food. The meals aren't bad, they're just the same stuff you'd get in any other Vintage Inn. Disappointing. Could be so much better.
