Place nearly empty, stood at the bar for 5 mins and nobody came, wandered off to find another pub.

Stopped for lunch here. The food was lovely and plentiful though took a little while to arrive. The girl behind the bar was doing the work of two (give her a payrise!) as she was single handedly managing two bars. She was a model of efficiency and professionalism. This is a great little pub. Worth a visit.

An unexpected diversion through Newport Pagnell led to the discovery of this gem! A very warm and friendly welcome from Chloe & a personal recommendation to try the BBQ chicken toasted sandwich, which comes with fries and salad. Wow! This is the best toastie I ever tasted! I would highly recommend it. I'm not sure if it's on the official menu, so if it isn't, don't be shy in requesting it - you will not be disappointed! So good, I'll make sure every trip to Milton Keynes includes a diversion into Newport Pagnell and The Dolphin. Sunshine and watching the world pass by from the benches at the front was an added bonus. Totally chillaxed! Oh, and the locals don't bite either, especially if you tickle their tummies! Well done Chloe, keep up the great work! Thank you

We've just had a lovely meal tonight. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Thursday night is pie and a pint for £10. The meal was freshly cooked and the pie was homemade, it came with fresh vegetables, mash and roast vegetables and gravy. I'll definitely be going back.

Very good food & excellent service, waitress was also attentive to our needs & very jolly ?
Nice pub and surroundings. Found the the food to be mediocre. But the worst thing was it was freezing cold in there, most people had their jackets done up. (Not the potatoes!) There was some old fat geezer at the bar moaning about the happy hour promotion being withdrawn. He wouldn’t shut up about it! One of the barmaids was very rude when I mentioned the cold temperature in the place. I’m not sure what her name was but a very nice young bar person called Emily assured me it would be warmer the next time I came in.

Beautiful looking pub from outside. Had read good reviews. Dog friendly, so decided to go here for Saturday lunch. Inside, the pub is completely different from outside, it is completely soulless, all character gap been removed and it is bland with no atmosphere. Only 4 people eating and one man sat at the bar. Menu limited and typically sandwiches etc served with chips. After seeing how deserted and lifeless the pub felt, we decided just to have coffee and a dessert. Coffee lukewarm and not very nice. I ordered treacle tart, which had soft floppy pale pastry, appeared uncooked in centre, inedible but was warm so I assumed it had been briefly microwaved and returned it to the very pleasant barman. He spoke to chef who apparently said it hadn't been microwaved, it had been in the oven! Obviously not for long enough! My husband had lemon meringue pie which was cold, pale very soft meringue and tasteless filling, not nice. We paid and left, found another really nice dog friendly pub with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and had a very tasty lunch. We would not visit The Dolphin again, nor recommend it.

Treated to lunch by my mother in law. Food was good and well priced and they had a selection of alcohol free bottled beers to help with a dry January pledge. Happy to eat there again.

We had breakfast here, one vegetarian and one normal, both really tasty. The staff are always on the ball and friendly
