Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a student restaurant on the campus of Milton Keynes College. The standard of food is extremely high. Don't go in a rush, sometimes orders take a while to prepare, but it is a lovely place to eat. Their Christmas lunches are amazing and they often have take-away deals so get on their mailing list.

The trainees who work at the Brasserie were really friendly, attentive and helpful. We had delicious burgers that were served with onion rings and triple cooked chips. I had the chicken burger which had a beautifully crisp coating and was absolutely delicious. The onion rings were fab! The staff who waited the tables were smiling and engaging as were the drinks station team and the chefs. We had a great meal and are all looking forwards to going back again soon.

This is the training restaurant in the college. It is quite a simple environment but pleasant-enough. We visited for a light lunch. Meals were presented quite simply but were tasty. Portions were on the small side but adequate and competitively priced. Service was slightly odd but effective. These are students after all. Would return

If you want to try the best quality cusine of Michelene star quality without breaking the bank this is the place to go.
Also you are helping tomorrow's top chefs learn they're trade.
The taster night on a Thursday is a must.

Chefs and teachers are very rude to college students, they don't let us in when it's supposed to be open and tell us in a very unpleasant way, prices risen a lot, considering this is a cafe in a college where surprise surprise are college students that are often asked to leave when we do not purchase there overpriced food and drinks while studying, we are minors many without jobs they should be allowed to sit within the college premises between lessons without feeling turfed out , the students who work there are lovely polite and have lovely customer service but the adults not so much. On a few incidents now i have come across a very rude and arrogant chef who really needs to learn basic manners and politeness.

Ignore the times mentioned above. It is only open to the public on Thursday evenings. Coffee and cake available at other times but there is no parking

Highly recommend one of their taster evenings. The food was of a high quality, we had 5 courses a little too much for me but hubby was happy to help out.
He had the drinks flight that went with the meal. Very good value. Students were very personable. A highly enjoyable evening.

I went for a valentines meal there. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff were courteous and the food was to die for. The students there may be learning still but they are all at a high end level. I am proud to have come from there and look forward to see what fresh talent shall come from there.

We’ve not been to the catering college restaurant for many years and this was a very different experience from our memory. The original restaurant was fine dining with linen tablecloths and silver service but the Brasserie is nothing like that. Maybe we were expecting something very different but the restaurant didn’t really have any atmosphere. I chose the shepherds pie which was tasty and the chips were good - it just didn’t have any ‘wow’ factor. My wife enjoyed her chicken but the quinoa wasn’t great and the dish lacked a sauce of some kind. The deserts were tasty and possibly the best part of the meal. The students who served us were friendly and attentive. I think the pasta would have been a better choice and we may give it another go but I’m sorry to say it’s definitely not the experience it used to be and I don’t think we’d go for dinner.

Once again a really great meal, as this is a training establishment thought l would make one observation and hope this is taken constructively. We asked what a potato dish was and the reply was it's done differently said it would have taken 2 mins to ask, we were only one in at this time. Meal was great as usual thanks

As usual the quality is second to none, staff are a credit. This is a fairly new venture, and felt you did not get very much for the cost (£16.95) although this did include a glass of prosecco. Ample sweet product but lacks savoury, some sandwiches would have made the experience 100% instead of 85%

Having read the previous reviews I was looking forward to my visit. Surprised when I saw it would be open for Saturday lunch but as it was my birthday that was perfect. Based on the Winter Menu, which is all that was on the website when I looked the previous week, I went ahead and made a booking.
Can’t fault the restaurant itself, nice furnishings and relatively easy to find. The menu board outside the restaurant still gave no clue as to what was coming.
However, we were handed a Lunch Menu (now on the updated website) with a very poor choice given that I was expecting to eat from the Winter Menu. I did not expect to be eating a chicken WRAP for my birthday lunch - totally ruined my day in fact. It wasn’t even well done - I opted for a salad side and it was literally straight from a pre-packed salad bag, no tomato garnish etc and very dry as no dressing offered. The chicken was rather sparse and with a lot of waste (fatty thigh meat). The soup starter was ok but nothing special. I didn’t even attempt dessert but I’ll give you a clue ... it’s not called Chef’s Mess without good reason!
I’m not new to college training facilities (I visit my local one fairly frequently and I can only sing their praises) but this was a whole new experience to me and not one I shall be repeating any time soon.
Based on the above experience I’m afraid I can’t recommend.
