About The Buckingham Fort
Caribbean Restaurant in Milton Keynes
Stepping into The Buckingham Fort in Milton Keynes felt like a mini-vacation. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a relaxed Caribbean vibe that instantly put me at ease. It's not overly flashy; think comfortable booths and a friendly buzz rather than anything super formal. The lighting was soft and the music had a nice, low-key rhythm.
Their menu is pretty straightforward Caribbean fare, focusing on things like chicken and other familiar dishes. One photo shows a perfectly plated jerk chicken dish that looked incredibly appealing. While the reviews mention some inconsistencies in portion size and taste, I’d be keen to try their cocktails – especially after hearing about the "Flaying Tiger," though perhaps I'd specify which beer I wanted! I'd probably stick to the more classic dishes to avoid any surprises.
The Buckingham Fort is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends or a relaxed date night. It's not fancy enough for a big celebration, but it's certainly a cut above your average takeaway. What makes it stand out is its genuinely friendly atmosphere and the promise of a taste of the Caribbean without traveling too far. If they can iron out a few kinks with consistency, they'll be onto a winner.

The food is excellent and the treatment from the staff was also excellent. Price quality, excellent too. Will we return? Of course we Will.
If I am giving 5 * for atmosphere then wht change it wud b when food is not up to d mark!!! In service, ordered "Flaying Tiger" (cocktail), they came with Tiger Beer 🍺🤣😂🤦 Even other chicken dishes tasted not so good, the quantity was sooooo tiny n less. Not worth going... Overall **
Food is reasonably good with scope for much improvement. Service and ambiance is good. A bit more heating and hot water would have been great. You will not get a printed itemised bill though, only your credit card receipt. I was not able to expense it for my business meal... disappointed!
The gentlemen who run this places are just that - absolute gentlemen. The food is so yummy - every single thing was just delicious - and that’s every time we order. Not yet done dine in, but I’m inspired to now - the gents who invited us in and dealt with our pickup order are just the loveliest, and the restaurant is done up very nicely. A very warm atmosphere.
We had yesterday dinner out! Chose to try Buckingham fort for the first time. Food was great,papadoms with all extra just amazing. My only one suggestion is to change complimentary drinks from Bailey's to house wine. After greasy meal you don't want to have a glass of this
