Most Disliked

While many love the energetic vibe at Allotment N11, some diners note it can get quite busy, especially on weekend evenings, potentially leading to longer wait times. A few reviews mention that the restaurant’s space might feel cramped when full, which might not suit those looking for a more subdued dining atmosphere. In terms of the menu, some guests feel overwhelmed by the extensive selection, finding it challenging to choose just one dish. Additionally, occasional service hiccups during peak hours are reported, though the staff’s friendliness generally mitigates any frustrations. However, these minor issues don’t detract from the overall positive experience for most visitors, who remain loyal patrons.

Stopped for a quick lunch, excellent food and vibes. Goat curry and jerk chicken were great sized portions and delicious. Nigel was explaining how much they do for local community projects which was really great. Will definitely be coming in the evening in the future to sample it in full swing

I'm glad we were stopped by the owners as we walked by looking for something to eat. The food was delicious 😋. My daughter was famished after playing football and wanted to have something before we drove home to MK. Wish they delivered to Milton Keynes where we live, so we could have more!
