My wife and I, together with two of our friends went to the Purple Goose on Saturday night (just gone). The food as usual was fantastic, as was the service and the atmosphere. The head chef making an appearance at the end of the night to check how we found the whole experience was a nice touch. More

One of my all time favourite restaurants. The food is truly delicious. Fine dining, but with decent portion sizes! Setting is very homely- It feels like you're sitting in a friends dining room, and service is spot on. Love the fact that the chef comes out at the end to discuss the meal. A really wonderful touch. Could not recommend... More

We went to the Purple Goose for lunch on Sunday 13th May 21012, the staff were extremely polite and the service was brilliant. I had the crispy pork belly rissotto which was outstanding, followed by slow cooked pork belly with potatoes and vegetables which was also very good, my only small moan (and it is a small moan) is that...

Enjoyed a fantastic meal with the family. I love that you get salted and unsalted butter with the homemade bread at the beginning! The food was top quality and imaginative. The portions were ample and despite being a bit on the full side I still couldn't resist the delicious chocs that came with the coffee! The staff were really lovely... More

This very small privately owned restaurant in the center of Woburn Sands is a pleasure to dine in. The menu was not vast, but everything on it was awsome. I can say this because we went in a group of friends and between us, I think we had just about one of everythig on the menu. We all agree the... More

We visit this restaurant reguarly and it's a breath of fresh air amongst the chains of Milton Keynes. The food is excellent, the service great, and Scott the chef regularly comes out for a chat at the end of the evening, a real differentiator in our opinion. Definitely the best restaurant in MK More

We were taken here for a Christmas meal by a family member. The food was amazing and the waiter was very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. We hope to go again when time permits. More
