Restaurants in Milton Keynes

Hope it's ok for me to start a new thread? I was wondering if anyone in Milton Keynes could suggest a few nice places for a wedding reception? We have a very small budget, but only about 30 guests, so it doesn't have to be somewhere huge! I was thinking of a sit-down dinner for around £10-£15 a head - maybe even in a pub with a restaurant which could be closed off. Anyway, any suggestions are welcome! Many thanks for your advice.

Wedding went off ok (phew!), saving up for autumn holiday and house move now!

    I had my Wedding reception in The Herald Sporting Club at Stacey Bushes about 10 years ago. We had a Hot Buffet for 100 people at £3.50 a head, But I think they did sit down dinners. Of course things may have changed, but they were very accommodating at the time (letting me buy my own champagne from an off licence and they did house wine at £5 a bottle to go with the meal (10 years ago mind)).

    May be worth a phone call!
