The Old Millwrights Arms is a Greene King pub and with fairly low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It was fairly quiet on Christmas Eve lunchtime. Despite a couple of the handpulls being unclipped, there was still a decent selection. Greene King IPA & Milly's Ale & Morland Old Speckled Hen were the Greene King ales. But there was also Skinners Christmas Fairy & Hillfire 3C. They also had 3 ciders - Westons Rosie's Pig, Cornwall Cider Company Mango, Lime and Ginger & Cornish Orchards Pear Cider. There were few customers inside. But the interior had a nice feel to it and the barmaid was friendly. I even got a CAMRA discount for my cider. Not quite as good as the Hop Pole at the other end of town. But possibly the second best pub in Aylesbury and it was my favourite from this tour of Bucks.

Refurbished yet again about 6 weeks ago. Bright and airy now but still the recognisable as the Millrights. Pub quiz on Thursday(s). 4 ales on including XT4, XT8 and GK Revolution. A previous visit just after it had just opened yielded 4 Rebellion and 2 GK. Beer £3.40/pint. Worth a visit.

New Management has transformed this pub. Quiz night, two pool teams, darts team, three good beers and a great atmosphere. well worth a visit. Don't miss Stella the pub dog the soppiest dog in creation.

Two words sum up everything wrong about this place - GREENE and KING - not necessarily in that order, but advisible.

A good pub with friendly locals and staff. Worth going to if you enjoy actually talking to your mates rather than shouting at them over crappy too-loud music all night. The beers aren't bad either.

Good pub. Friendly staff and usually someone to have a game of pool with. One of those all afternoon lazy beer drinking places. Well stocked jukebox full of old cheesy classics

This pub is called The Millwrights. I think it's improved in the last few years. It used to be very smokey if there were more than a dozen people. Someone seems to have sorted out the air-conditioning, making it much more pleasant. The beer (Greene King) has also improved in the past year or so. There is a pool table, dart board and a very pleasant patio garden. There is also a quiz evening on Thursdays, which is usually well attended. A good local provided they keep improving the quality of the beer.
