Step into Missoula, Milton Keynes and you step into a flavour of the bountiful state of Montana, USA. The décor reflects the passion and the pride of the city, while the food combines the authenticity of quality American dishes with the plentiful array of cocktails, beers and brands.

This latest development by the award-winning Stonegate Pub Company genuinely steps up the game in hospitality. A warm and welcoming meet-and-greet service sets the scene for a truly entertaining experience. Take breakfast – out with traditional bacon and eggs, in with stacked American waffles and Scramblers, available until midday. During the day you can choose from a selective menu that includes such delights as The Big Pig Sandwich – a feast of Hickory BBQ pulled pork with all the trimmings.

The seven world beers including Shipyard American pale ale and Anchor Steam; 14 classic cocktails, 11 signature cocktails bursting with new flavours such as the Huckleberry lemon drop and Ponderosa pine will provide a taste sensation; Buffalo Trace and High West Rendezvous Rye are among the 22 whiskies; along with eight gins and nine vodkas make for a premium drinks offer that spoils you for choice. All served with a dash of passion and flair.

Over £350,000 aided this transformation. Flamboyant touches of draped hide throws compliment the weathered wooden walls and floors. Landscaped scenes of the ‘Garden City’ and action shots of ranchers and rodeo’s help create the contemporary, warm backdrop. Over 40 staff took part in a premium customer service training programme headed by a ‘local’ no less. Molly Smith, born and bred in Montana, took charge of ensuring all things authentic when it comes to good ‘ol American hospitality. 15 new jobs were created.

Caroline Linden, Manager at Missoula said “The new Missoula sees a dramatic change from our existing offer and aims to enthral and delight our guests. The exceptional hospitality by our lively, enthusiastic team will enhance the overall experience and will set us apart from the rest of the high street.”

Open from 8am seven days a week, Missoula transforms its offer throughout the day and energises each evening with a backdrop of live music creating an upbeat atmosphere of fun, conviviality and celebration. Missoula will no doubt make its mark in Milton Keynes.
