“Called in here at the start of our trip to pubs in Buckinghamshire around the Milton Keynes area, and found this Ember Inn a little disappointing in beer choice as the lines were being cleaned at lunchtime Saturday so the ale choice was restricted to Landlord Pedigree and London Pride. Chose he Landlord which was ok. The pub is listed in the 2019 Good Beer Guide.“

“Large Ember inns pub in an MK suburb. Food-led (aren’t they all around MK?), the Ship Ashore keeps very good real ale, although the recent CAMRA award was a bit of a shock. Atmosphere is stale, with annoying piped pop competing with conversation. On my visit there were well kept ales (although too cold for me) by Butcombe, Cameron’s and Sambrooks as well as GK IPA. Discount on real ale for CAMRA members. Bottle selection not up to much although they have a couple of old fashioned staples in Mann’s and Gold Label, the latter of which I thought was extinct! Food was very good for what it’s worth.“

“A modern pub on a retail square in modern Milton Keynes. Food orientated but decent choice of ale well kept. Plenty of room, recommended.“
