I use this bar as someone that regularly stays in MK and once you realize that its a 'place to be seen' rather than perhaps a place where you will find fine real ales, its great.
The selection of European beers is OK I like Wies beer and they do a good one on tap. I have eaten here a few times and the food is good value for money.
It has a good atmosphere, especially if you are out with the boys/girls. All this said, I use it in the week and not weekends, so things could be very different.

Always good beer, even if the surroundings are very nice.....but very 'corporate'. The food has always been above average, which has justified the above average price. Recently the food has not been so good. The bread basket no longer comes with the assorted dips, the usual chunky chips somewhat raw, a blip in what has consistently been a pleasant experience at the Olive Branch....I hope.

The beer is well kept and just about the best you'll find (Dark Prince & Proper Job are superb..!), we went there most days.
The Sunday roast is exceptional and is not to be missed...!!
Very dog friendly too, which is a bonus.

Food was good and is now awful.
We have been going here for a good few years and witnessed a good pub 'corporatised'.
Beer is good though.

Just about the best pub you'll find. The food is excellent and great value, considering the quality. Beer is spot on too and all in a wonderful setting.

The Thatched House, Northbourne
Have tried with this place a number of times and given up. Its the kind of place that if it had a piano, it'd stop playing when you walked in through the door.
Good luck parking in the car park, its full of white vans.

Full of the Bournemouth wannabe set, not a proper beer in sight. If your aged 16-25 this is the pub for you to stand and talk about the size of your exhaust fitted to your Vauxhall Nova..!
Careful not to brush against any of the blokes or girls, as you'll get covered in fake tan.
Good for hen & stag do's

The Organ Inn, Warminster
Great pub in the spirit of what a proper pub should be with bags of atmosphere. The beer is very reasonably priced & always kept well. Cheese lovers will love the selection that this pub has too.
