Visited 30th January 2011.
Like Slough, Milton Keynes is somewhere that everybody seems to have heard off, usually for the wrong reasons, so it was with a little trepidation that plans were made for today's trip. We set off intending to make our first port of call 'The Moon Under Water'. As it turned out things did not quite go to plan and after a seemingly endless course of roundabouts we ended up... somewhere else. But at least we were near a Wetherspoons, maybe. We parked and set off on foot in what we thought was the correct direction to find 'The Secklow Hundred'. As it turned out our course took us straight passed 'Wetherspoons'. Our plans are always fluid so we turned a few paces to our left, took some photos and went in. It's big, a high ceiling, spacious and airy. To be honest we weren't paying to much attention to the decor as we were both starving and cold. I swiftly ordered a beef roast and a pint of Camfel Flame for myself with Mrs S. opting for her favourite BBQ chicken melt with a 'full fat' Pepsi. The place was reasonably busy but we didn't have to wait very long before our food arrived and what can I say, it was very nice. Having replenished our energy we felt ready to carry on looking for 'The Secklow' and then Mrs S. decided she didn't want to play 'hunt the pub' and cheated by asking the waitress. What can I say... there's no way I would ever have asked for directions!
