Eyas Restaurant in South Northamptonshire

Arrived with rain pouring down. From arrival to departure an absolute joy. A thoughtful birthday card on the table set the mood for a great celebration Stand out food was a point of debate for the rest of the weekend. Garlic soup and the gnocchi definitely favourites, the beef with the most wonderful broccoli ever, and then definitely a panacota that was made in heaven. The grandkids had a second portion of chicken from the bar menu, that I think is self explanatory. All in all a wonderful celebration with a devine meal. Compliments to all staff

Overall we had an enjoyable visit to Eyas for Sunday lunch. There was plenty of space to sit and enjoy a drink both pre- and post-meal. The whole hotel is beautifully decorated with excellent attention to detail. Very Kit Kemp-esque. We found most of the staff to be attentive and were pleased to note that allergies had been observed from the booking system and taken seriously. The food was good, although a limited menu served on Sundays. The roast sirloin was cooked perfectly, and we all thought that the accompanying cauliflower cheese was a highlight. One niggle - and the reason for 4 stars rather than 5 - was the slightly slow service. We waited over an hour at our table for mains to be served (we didn’t have starters). I think when the menu is limited to just 3 dishes, they should be able to served at speed.

We are fortunate to be close by to this restaurant. It is considered ‘expensive’ but for special occasions or a treat, imo it’s worth it. Chef certainly knows his way around food. Although the Sunday lunch menu is part of the a la carte menu we could still enjoy a traditional beef and Yorkshire pudding- and it was delicious! There was a good atmosphere in the dining room as there was a couple of larger tables as well as couples but not too noisy. The service was excellent- as always Fresh flowers, linen table napkins, (it’s the little things) My only niggle is the choice of background music is not conducive to the dining experience- could be more subtle and the charge of £4 for a bottle of unbranded sparkling water. Apart from that, as usual, very satisfied.

Took my mom here for Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the ambience was calm and relaxing. I went for the Sunday roast and it was the best I've had. Mom loved the starters menu so she went with the wild garlic soup, crab, and English asparagus. Everything was so fresh and flavors well balanced. Service was as well balanced as the food. It was a very warm day and when we asked to move to an outside table to get the breeze they quickly accommodated. Will be back.

I've been a few times since it opened, and I've always felt the potential was there, but something was always wrong.. My wife and I went on Friday night for my birthday and almost everything was perfect. It's such a beautiful space, the waitress was knowledgeable and attentive; now they've gotten rid of the tasting menu, we were able to order what we wanted, which ended up being 4 courses anyway.. and every dish was just perfect.. The food is extremely reasonable for the quality; as is the wine.. Really really great job, team! The only negative is that it isn't more popular - the room was not even half full - If they were in the Cotswolds it would be impossible to get in to.. I'm sure The Comptons can stretch to some more Marketing/PR budget...
