On Sunday 6th October, I had the pleasure of experiencing Milton Keynes' inaugural restaurant tour, an innovative idea that incorporates eating, drinking and socialising. When I was offered the chance to review the first one in MK, well of course I jumped at the chance.
The Restaurant Tour business concept revolves around offering curated culinary experiences that allow food enthusiasts to explore various dining establishments within a single outing. This immersive experience not only highlights diverse cuisines but also fosters community engagement by promoting local eateries. Ideal for tourists and locals alike, Restaurant Tours enhance the dining experience, transforming a simple meal into a social event that celebrates the culinary landscape of a city.
Having already garnered success in cities like Bristol, Birmingham, and Liverpool, this culinary adventure promised to be a treat. The concept was simple yet delightful: one Sunday afternoon, six restaurants, six dishes, six glasses of wine (soft drink alternatives are available), and an app to guide us along the way.
Booking the Restaurant Tour was incredibly easy, thanks to the user-friendly app that streamlined the entire process. Participants simply download the app to access their tickets, which could be scanned at each business along the route. The app also allowed users to customise their experience by selecting their preferred starting and ending locations, making it convenient for everyone involved. Additionally, it offered an option to input any dietary requirements ahead of time, ensuring that all guests could fully enjoy their culinary adventure without any concerns. Overall, the app enhanced the experience, making it seamless and tailored to individual needs.
I enlisted my husband for the afternoon’s escape from parenting, found a willing friend to entertain our son, and off we went to explore the vibrant dining scene at The Hub. This area is a hotspot in Milton Keynes City Centre dedicated to dining & drinking, and with nearby hotels those wishing to extend their stay to explore the rest of the city, can find a place to stay easily.

Overall, this restaurant tour was a delightful way to experience the culinary delights of The Hub in Milton Keynes. With a perfect blend of independent eateries and trendy venues, it showcased the diverse food scene in our city. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to explore local flavours while enjoying a leisurely afternoon with friends, loved ones and in our case complete strangers. I can't wait to see what the next tour will bring, which I hear along the grapevine will be coming early next year!
