Captain Ridley's Shooting Party

We visited Captain Ridley’s Shooting Party in June 2023. The pub is huge and wonderfully decorated, with a massive beer garden to the rear and plenty of outside seating at the front. The pub is full of history, with references everywhere to nearby Bletchley Park from the enigma machine to the bombe machine-inspired carpet.

Tuesday 24th October 2023 Today, this weatherspoons was visited This real ale pub has adequate real ales on the pub is massive the real ales well kept staff good a good to middling atmosphere to this pub and a good out door drinking areas at front and back of pub This is the only decent real ale pub sadly on Bleatchly full stop It needs a couple more guest hand pumped ales on to get 5 stars off me sadly

Easy 4 stars. Pleasant service and the food arrived swiftly. The usual value for money from Wetherspoons. Poached egg isn't easy to get right, and this one was marginally overcooked. Never mind, well worth visiting, particularly on a sunny or dry day (started raining) to enjoy the impressive beer garden landscaping at the back.

Argyle on tour! I've made it to Bletchley....2 miles from MK Stadium where we play tonight. What else but to visit a new "Spoons"!! And fantastic it is too. Only 4yrs old, rebuilt but on the original site where the intellually brilliant saviours of our nation used to come on route to Bletchley park to unravel Hitlers encrypted codes. They used to masquerade under the pseudonym of "Captain Ridleys shooting party" to hide their identity in 1938. The usual fare, I had a curry on arrival and next morning beans on toast with hash browns. The beer was ridiculously priced at 99p !! Girls serving were great. Can't get used to the fact that over 40 miles from London and everyone talks like a "cockney geezer". Love it !! You can't beat a "Spoons".....
