What to check before booking a restaurant

Food businesses in England are inspected by the local council and rated under the Food Standards Agency's Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, so it is worth checking a venue's score on the FSA website, where 5 is the highest. Restaurants are legally required to tell you about the 14 major allergens in their dishes, so ask staff directly if you have a dietary need. If a venue serves alcohol it must hold a premises licence issued by Milton Keynes City Council, and you can also look at recent independent reviews to gauge consistency of service and food quality.

Booking, access and local context

Central Milton Keynes has a concentration of chain and independent restaurants around the shopping centre and Xscape, while the older towns of Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell and Olney tend to offer independent and pub-based dining. For busy periods such as weekends and holidays it is sensible to reserve a table in advance and to confirm opening hours, as these can change on bank holidays. If you have accessibility requirements, contact the venue ahead of your visit to check step-free access, parking and any adapted facilities.

How do I check a restaurant's food hygiene rating?

Search the venue on the Food Standards Agency website using its name and postcode. The scheme rates premises from 0 to 5, with 5 being very good. Many restaurants also display their rating sticker at the entrance or on their door.

Can restaurants cater for allergies and dietary requirements?

By law, restaurants must provide accurate information about the 14 major allergens present in their food. Many venues also offer vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options, but it is best to tell staff about your requirements when booking so the kitchen can advise or prepare accordingly.
