George's in Northampton

Felt the afternoon tea a little sparce. Sandwiches very miniscule and a bit dry. Four pieces about 1" each per person . I was being treated so didn't want to complain.

Lovely little place. I have been in a couple of times, for a cuppa and for lunch without any problem but another time my friend and I went for lunch and there was no one about to serve us. Rang the bell which I found on the counter to no avail. We went elsewhere. Then again went for a cuppa and the same again, only saved this time by someone coming in who went through to the back and told them. They don't seem very bothered about it

Beautifully hidden secret of Northampton Town Centre. Lovely food, excellent decor & wonderful atmosphere with beautiful gardens.

First visit yesterday for tea and cake. Lovely. An old fashioned tearoom. No loud music so we could chat in comfort. Lovely helpful staff. Can't wait for the sun to shine so we can sit in the beautiful garden. Wouldn't believe you were in the centre of town. Definitely be visiting again. 10/10😃

Lovely chocolate orange cake and really pleased they have gluten free options

This is the first time I have been here as I didn’t know this place existed, what a lovely place staff so friendly and welcoming, the tea was just how I like it and the food equally good, I shall certainly be coming back, when it is a sunny day, there is a lovely area to sit outside, a real hidden gem!🤩

Nice place to have coffee and light snacks

Beautiful little hidden gem in Northampton. Seating here felt like we were somewhere in Italy. It was so quiet and peaceful. The coffee and cake was excellent. We were quite surprised to find this beautiful place so empty. If you're looking for a nice place to have a peaceful chat, this is perfect. The staff were kind and helpful. I would highly recommend this place. It's a shame that they are only open for a few hours a day.

Went there today with the kids. This is my new favorite place in town. What a hidden gem. Lovely staff and a beautiful garden.

Just popped in for breakfast, full English excellent, lovely friendly service, it is just tucked out the way but worth popping through the entrance down the hallway into the courtyard seating area and turn right into the restaurant. We took away some lovely cakes for later, Sue was very helpful as was the other staff. Thank you. A & P.

Always a great place to go when I am visiting in Northampton. Great atmosphere, great service, set in an oldy world setting, lovely fresh cooked food . My third visit we stayed for 2 hours. Its lovely in summer as you can sit outside in the garden. Waitress said they are going to redo it into a 1940s style but I like it as it is.

We've been coming to this tearoom fairly regularly for the past month, lovely food, great service with lovely kind and attentive staff. Thank you for looking after us!

The all day breakfast is absolutely divine and I would strongly recommend it to anyone, excellent friendly service and a place I shall visit again and again.

Brief stop in Northampton and found this tea room along the way. Very friendly host who made a great americano. Ordered the bacon, mushroom and cheese omelette and it was lovely. Since having covid in dec 2021, it’s been difficult to enjoy ANY food. This was the first time I did. Will be back.

The staff was lovely the food was brilliant such good value for money I had a meat platter small for 5 pounds and my husband had ham eggs and chips for 7 pounds the garden is lovely to sit in

Beautiful place tucked away in town, didn't know it was there, i had been treated to an afternoon tea for 2 so I took my 90 year old dad, the service was amazing, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, they even picked fresh flowers from the garden to put on our table. We sat in the lovely dining room to accommodate and make my dad feel comfortable. Very friendly and the tea was delicious, too much to eat, so they kindly packed it up for us to bring home.

I visited this amazing place on a day trip from St Albans and I was so impressed. The interior is so cool and the good is really good! What was particularly impressive though was the atmosphere. The staff were very very helpful. It’s a little bit hard to find but it’s a hidden gem and really worth it. Thank you 😊

Recommended by my sister who lives in northampton, not a huge place, and a hidden gem . For the first time this year we sat in garden as weather glorious. So nice. Service excellent and friendly food good ( maybe a touch hotter for sausage sandwich) . Great meet up place or I can see lovely in summer on your own with book. Definitely would go again. Lovely old fashioned China cups etc

Excellent food and service. Lovely garden area.

A beautiful place with wonderful staff, a hidden jem!!!! A visit is a must!!!

Hidden gem in the middle of the town centre

Lovely setting. Cakes and tea fantastic. Worth a visit and keep away from the maddening crowd.

Best coffee and lunch in Northampton.. Amazing garden,lovely service!!

I did not know this existed until a friend recommended it to me. It is away from the Hustle and Bustle of the town. A lovely water feature in the garden. The staff are friendly and obliging. A good selection in the menu and the food is good. I am really pleased that my friend recommended this hidden gem.

Came here on the first day it opened. Enjoyed a good value omelette in a really lovely setting. Service is informal and friendly

Unexpected epic and beautiful find in the middle of Northampton, definitely will be going back , thankyou for the gorgeous food and lovely service xx

Nice surroundings pleasant staff good coffee

Really good food as always. Service rather slow

I first visited here with a friend who is a member of the Town and County club. I expected it to be all airs and Grace's but it isn't. It is a very ordinary cafe, with very average food, priced reasonably. What really makes the difference here is the garden. Sat in here you would never know you were in the heart of the town. It is quiet, beautiful, secluded and a sun trap. I would highly recommend here on a nice sunny day. So much so that I went again a few days later with family.

What a wonderful place to visit with a secret garden, quaint fish pond and best if all the food was amazing the salmon fillets and razor clams were outstanding. The staff were warm and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend to everyone I know

Absolutely recommend this place, fantastic food and a great atmosphere.

Five stars best poached eggs and scrambled eggs. Lovely coffee

Poor. Called in on a Saturday afternoon for tea. Was told that the reason that there was no milk was that "we've been rushed off our feet". Three other tables being used in the cafe; and the two diners that there had been in the dining room told me that they weer the only ones for lunch. If that is rushed off your feet, you ought not to be running a cafe. No glasses ("Oh, we've been *so* busy !"). Oh well - we've tried it once - we'll know better for another time. Just across the road is the cafe in All Saints church.

Lovely Coffee - nice atmosphere and really welcoming and friendly service 👍👍

Received a delivery of a chicken kebab & a cheese burger without the cheese. The food was absolutely awful, greasy fatty chicken which tasted rank & the burger was greasy, cold & tasted awful too. I rang George’s to complain & he wasn’t interested.

Cosy, friendly with lovely coffee

Walked in and sat there ignored for 15 minutes. Moved out of the way to allow a staff member to walk through who looked me up and down and walked on without a hello. The biggest mystery behind their mystery shopper award is how they got it. Absolutely atrocious. Avoid at all costs.

Used to be great, and whilst the food is still very good, the service has dropped below par, with questions about what's available to eat seeming to cause unnecessary issues ; plus, the man who appears to run the private members club, next door, walks around the Café with a constant sneer and like there's a smell under his nose... if he thinks he's so superior, he should stick to hanging around the club, rather than putting people off their tea/coffee and meals!

A wonderful hidden away cafe eith a beautiful garden. Great staff and lots of treats to choose from.

Worked there when a private club lovely atmosphere

A hidden gem in Northampton town centre

Friendly and welcoming staff, freshly prepared food to order and now tucked away "off the beaten track" 👍🏻

Love this cafe it also boasts a lovely garden which you can sit outside with food and drink

Brilliant. Had scrambled eggs on toast and it was enormous and reasonable price

A peaceful haven slap bang in the middle of town. We had breakfast in the cafe which lacked a bit of character,but the food was good. Would not return to the cafe but would certainly re visit the garden area for alfresco. An amazing area ,hard to believe that you are a few steps from the centre of Northampton.

It used to be 5 star but unfortunately it has rapidly gone down hill on quality.

We called in for a quick morning coffee but found a delicious offering of cakes made on the premises. The lemon drizzle is a personal favourite, it was delicious & the others on offer looked seriously good too! A friendly & attentive lady made us feel really welcome, she engaged with all the customers making it feel quite different to other establishments. It’s hidden away but just a few steps off the George Row pavement, through a hallway brings you into a quiet garden which is where you find the entrance George’s. They do breakfast, coffees, lunches, afternoon teas & those great cakes, it’s worth a visit!

I love it here. Lovely garden, inside is great too...very comfortable. Food is excellent - daily specials are very good value. I had a salad and a glass of wine for £10 on my first visit. Been back 3 times for coffee and cake - highly recommended.

What an absolute hidden gem I found in Northampton. Obviously part of an old private members club, they've opened their doors to the public utilising the restaurants chefs.Freshly baked cakes and an extensive breakfast and lunch menu set in a tranquil location with garden seating for the warmer months.

Great place to meet friends, chill and have a breakfast, coffee or lunch

A lovely independent coffee lounge hidden in Northampton and County Club. Had the bbq pulled pork and applewood cheese with slaw absolutely fantastic . Well worth a visit and i will be back. Fabulous home made cakes as well

Secluded café with a beautiful garden, delicious food.

Most recommended.Large dining area, few steps for elderly, good food range , pleasant quality of customers.

Loaction, venue, decor very nice, food very nice and prompt. Favourite is the chefs special flatbread. I need of atmosphere and clued up staff.

What a cosy and pleasant english place! Homemade cakes are served by the friendly staff. I definitely recommend! ❤️

This place is easy to miss but well-appointed. There is a beautifully maintained garden with memorial tributes to the fallen tastefully done.Although I only had tea on my visit the food looked delicious & the venue is comfortable with helpful staff. At the time of writing the coffee machine was pending repair - it might qualify for 5 stars when this is done.Good for a quiet chat with friends or a solo unwind away from hustle-bustle.

It is nice and relaxed and has a lovely garden...nice in the summer. It also has tributesin the garden to our fallen soldiers. Very pleasant!

Wouldn't have really even known it was there from the outside but so glad we went inside! Very homely, tasty and great value food. Will definitely be returning!

Nice, good cake, quiet. Horrible toilet

Hidden away at the back of George Row a laid back little gem ( lovely garden too, weather permitting) Usual cafe fare done well and by very pleasant staff.

Like having tea in a conservative club!

We had the most amazing flatbreads for lunch today! Fully loaded with bacon, avocado, tomatoes, spring onions and a poached egg... very generous portion, freshly prepared and delicious!

Great cafe in the heart of the town, had a very homely feel, it's like going to your nans house except the food is delicious! Staff very friendly and welcoming as well.

Comfortable, interesting interior, shady (in this weather) courtyard garden, good coffee, excellent Victoria sponge. What's not to like?

A little oasis in the heart of Northampton. Quality food and pretty garden.

Have been to this cafe a few times now. It's quite and peaceful. A lovely garden to sit in during the good weather we are having. The inside of the cafe is unusual and in no way corporate.Food is good , staff are lovely. So different from other places in the town. I recommend it to all my friends.

Visited lunchtime. Offer of bacon,advocado flatbread. Big portion, freshly cooked , plentiful topping. Nice cup of coffee also. A lovely garden setting, quiet and very relaxing . Will visit again very soon.

Great cafe away from the crowds.

Second time we have dined since the refurbishment. We were a group of four mid week early evening and everyone was pleased with the all their food.

I've visited the Club premises before during a Heritage Weekend so was aware of the lovely building and garden. George's is a great place to eat, or have a coffee - the menu is varied and tasty. The garden is wonderful, and so quiet even though it is in the town centre. I had Eggs Benedict for lunch and it is very good, the eggs were perfectly cooked and there is plenty of ham and sauce. I especially liked the toiletries available in the (downstairs) Ladies', with body spray and deodorants as well as hand cream. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit in Northampton.

Bit lacking but a good escape in the middle of town.

Popped in here to meet friends for coffee having heard good things about the place. As you enter Georges through the door on George Row you walk through the property into the lovely courtyard garden which would be great to sit out in on a summers day. The cafe is then on your right and on entering the decor is homely with plenty of farmhouse tables and chairs. The coffee was good and the staff were nice with good service. We didnt try any of the hot food or sandwiches on offer and no cakes were on display to tempt us but we'll be sure to pop in again next time were passing.

This place is a hidden gem. Friendly staff, great food and a lovely decor and environment. Perfect place to go before a trip to the theatre.

This is a great place to hang out - I wandered in not knowing what to expect but seems to be a well kept secret. Friendly service and a nice eggs Royale and halloumi vegetarian breakfast.

We had wanted to visit George's when it was out the front opposite All Saints but had to wait until they had moved to their new location at the back of the Northampton and County Club. The entrance is now through the pillars and whilst we were a bit concerned when we found the black door closed, it was unlocked. Once you go through the door, follow the alleyway through to the back and the entrance is on the right.

Worth a vist next to Northampton & Country Club opposite All Saints right in the town center Good meeting place very friendly no frills varied menu pleasant surroundings

Popped in for a cuppa after Xmas shopping with children and their Grandfather, and ended up staying for an early evening meal. The cafe is cosy with vintage/shabby chic decor, eclectic furnishings and lovely staff. So warm and welcoming. The menu was varied, but simple English food, all homemade and cooked to order. Great value. Please go, small businesses like this are so much nicer than the big chains!

Food delicious, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. A little gem of a place had a wonderful evening. Highly recommend. Will definitely be going back. Thank you to all at George's.

We stopped in here tonight on a way to a show. Wow what a great place. Food was fantastic the ambiance was wonderful and the people running it were so friendly. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Quirky wonderful oasis with lovely staff! Fabulous daytime venue serving home made cakes & candle lit ambiance for dinner in the evenings! Uniquely different offering theme nights for entertainment as well as great food & service. Highly rec'd!

So fancied going somewhere a little different, popped into town and stumbled across this little gem. Nearly outruled it as it looked a little pricey but not at all. A decent New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for £17.

Seeing a show at the derngate and decided to walk around en route to find a place for dinner and caught this beauty, this place has a quirky lay out, soft lighting and bespoke furniture - a really lovely ambience!

Wonderful food fantastic service lovely cosy atmosphere, and a great tour of the crypt with some surprises along the way. we all enjoyed it and will be going again very soon. 😀

I thoroughly enjoyed my evening with friends. We had a lovely vegetarian curry with rice. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. I will be going back for dinner again with ladies very soon . Well done.

comfortable and spacious place which has not only the front tables but a very nice lounge style seating area down some steps. I have been two Saturdays in succession. a pot of tea and something to eat. Quality was good, nice tea cups. pleasant easy listening live music the second time and an excellent resident portrait artist to watch. Only downside is having to give orders at the counter rather than to the waitress. I am curious to visit for dinner to try their themed evenings which were fully booked. Well worth visiting as it is class, as another reviewer said, in a nice part of town!

We had a brilliant evening having fortunately reserved a table for four people as it was quite busy by 7 pm. We had a 3 course meal and I am not exaggerating when Steve said his whitebait was the best he had ever had. I can recommend the sea bass for the main course. The rum and raisin ice cream is made by the chef and I gave him the compliment of it being stunning.

There were 8 of us, celebrating 4 different birthdays. We choose George's as we had eaten there once before going to the theatre. The service was excellent, the food including starters, main and puddings was excellent. Will be going back there again .

Very nice quirky place customer service perfect not over the top and genuine food really nice couldn’t fault it definitely will be returning 😀

Was looking for somewhere to get a nice relaxed breakfast and chanced upon Georges. Really glad we did.

Staff were pleasant. We ordered a SMALL cappuccino and a LARGE Americano. we were surprised to receive a large, very milky and weak cappuccino and a small Americano. We asked about this, thinking they had mixed up the order. One of the waitresses told us that these were the sizes we '..had to have.'! Clearly the customer is wrong ;-)

Had the lamb curry in the bistro ,one of the best curries I've tasted .love the look of George's .not many people use the bistro because they don't know about it which is a shame ,

This place is tucked away next to All Saints Church and the Council offices of County Hall and is a really lovely cafe/bistro.

Friendly personnel and good Cappuccino. The lemon cake is great.

Fish cakes had bacon in? This isn't discribed on the menu. Imagine if I was a pescatarian.

Great place for a bite to eat x Carrot cake was delicious
