Al's Hobbies Store and RC Plane Collection

Al’s Hobbies is a specialist model store stocking the latest products for hobbiests in the UK. Including; RC Planes, RC Helicopters, Drones, RC Cars, RC Boats, Model Kits, Rockets and more... Aswell as being a Hobby Store, Al's Hobbies also have a large collection of rc models that's free to view to the public. Including rc jets, rc planes, vintage rc helicopters and more... The collection is limited by the size of the store, so please bare this in mind, a look around the collection normally takes 15-20 minutes, but many people stay longer to see what we have on our shelves. Parking is limited but nearby are Lidl and Tesco, so you may want to combine your visit with a shopping trip and make the most of their parking.

Having travelled all the way from Dorset to return a plane bought by my son which had some problems, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome. We then had help choosing another suitable plane for our 10 yr old son , advice on model clubs near us and some flying tips. We will definitely be back when our son is ready for his next model plane. Thank you

MK Biergarten

We are Milton Keynes’ first micropub and bottle shop. We are multi award winning, support our local suppliers and are the friendliest business around! With a range of bottled and draft craft beer and cider both from the UK and further afield, the shop is the ideal destination for beer lovers who would like London's range and expertise in craft beer but are also looking for that little bit of northern hospitality. A cosy seating area provides a tasting space for 20 people and serves a fuive tap bar which also satisfies your growler needs. The shop runs regular events, including beer tastings and a monthly food night, which showcases local producers. In German beer culture, a Biergarten is a comfortable, friendly space where you can spend time on your own or with friends and family alike. It's a place where you meet strangers for a chat and watch the world go by. At the MK Biergarten, bookshelves and boardgames invite you to relax and play.

This is my favourite place in MK to go for a drink with friends. It has everything you need; -Friendly helpful staff with a huge knowledge of beer -A choice of drink for everyone (trust me, there’s a beer for the most fussiest of drinkers but also a selection of wines, ciders, artisan spirits and soft drinks) -Cosy ‘living room’ style seating area for people that prefer to enjoy a drink inside and outdoor seating that is sheltered from the rain in bad weather. -Spacious shop area to browse bottles and cans to take away -Incredible range of German beers, predominantly Munich styles to match the name of the establishment. -Most importantly for me, a strong focus on local produce and community spirit including monthly ‘Bier clubs’ (taster sessions with a selection of different style beers, usually following a different theme each month), a brilliant selection of local beers on the shelf and on tap, brewed by nearby businesses and small businesses all over the uk. Bread collection from a local artisan baker including traditional Bavarian pretzels available to buy at the bar with a pint of Munich lager, Chocolate collection from a local chocolatier, perfect for a sweet treat or a gift and many other community events including art clubs, gin clubs and occasional food events. I can’t rate this place enough! I also want to add that during the COVID-19 pandemic the business wasted no time in adapting all aspects and have reopened the pub/shop with government guidelines strictly in place and I can honestly say that they have managed to retain the cosy easygoing atmosphere whilst retaining a strict and safe place to enjoy an as-close-to-normal as possible experience that even the most nervous person would feel comfortable in. Well done MK Biergarten!
