Lively Milton Brewery pub with standout beer and generally good stone-baked pizzas, though recent reviews flag inconsistent food and brusque service; great garden and fires make it a solid local if you prioritize drinks.
The Haymakers delivers reliable neighborhood pub quality anchored by solid food quality and an exceptional rotating cask ale selection that keeps regulars returning. However, recent consistency dips—particularly with calzone and service tone—prevent a higher grade, and the mild 2025-26 decline suggests execution challenges. The warm fireside setting and expansive garden enhance appeal, but this remains a beer-first destination where pizza quality has become variable.
One caveat: Recent diners report underfilled or bland calzone; consider classic pizzas instead
