Lakeside in Northampton

Victoria is very friendly and attentive adding to the great, fun experience.

We go mainly for our Son. Wacky warehouse has been a godsend to us whilst he’s a toddler and looking to burn off some energy. Victoria is always working in wacky warehouse when we are there and she is so attentive, always there to serve but also always interacts with the children and has even helped me when i’ve been on my own and my child has been having a meltdown about leaving. Couldn’t ask for better service, definitely enjoys her job and it shows!

Served by Sue & Gary. Very helpful polite staff. Food was good. Would recommend

Very nice nom nom nom. Good Gary and Sue smashed it out the park give them a rise :)

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, Sue and Gary were great servants and very helpful!

Great service by Harry- very friendly and accommodating to our table and elderly member of the family.

Harry & Megan at the lakeside Northampton were absolute stars and gave me my husband and my 5 year great service, smiling and couldn’t do enough for us! Food was good along with atmosphere! Thank you

Not everything available on the menu. 1 they don't do anymore do I don't understand why it wasn't covered over on the menu. The tables weren't clear. 1 young lad behind the bar trying to do everything as not enough staff on. Outside lights weren't put on & it was pitch black outside. Not good when you've got to walk across a dark car park. My food was ok but the others I were with were not impressed.

Awsome place to go with your family Playing area inside and outside Lots of tables inside and outside Good food Big car park

Staff here are so lovely and kind, so family-friendly towards young children. Customer service excellent, nothing was too much trouble. Classic pub food, good portions.

We booked a table last nite for 6pm for my Grandson's 21st birthday.Our table wasn't ready took 20mins to even get a drink Table wasn't ready till 7 & told it be an hour for food We just told um to forget & went elsewhere Ruined my Grandson's si thanks lakeside

Burgers on a Friday evening are an absolute bargain. Good food and service.

Great pub, staff are really lovely. Helpful in every way really recommend! Manager Kache is amazing

Staff cheerful and friendly very approachable and the food good and came quick

Come here all the time, great place staff are amazing Kache is an absolute pleasure

Front of house staff was lovely, the kitchen the other hand was shocking. 2 hour wait for 2 burgers and left with a refund. Ordered at 14.09 left at 16.07 with nothing The tablet opposite had cold food served. Utter shambles. Avoid the food at all cost. I will be sending an email to the head office.

Great staff here, food was fantastic, thanks to "jay" the chef for turning out a perfect dish on a very busy day. will go again.

Absolutely lovely food and great customer service by the lovely staff member kache

Maria and Gary were very cheery

Gave this a try as we were nearby and the traffic on a45 was stationary. I would guess weekday lunch is the best time to go when it isnt full of families with feral children. The food was ok and the staff were lovely. However it is filthy, the loos in the ladies all had broken locks.

The food was cold, the steaks were tough as old boots and gristly and a member of our party, had their order forgotten, only one member of staff behind the bar taking orders for drinks and food orders on their own, plus got fed up with waiting for staff to clear our plate's off the table we ended up doing it ourselves! Won't be going back, unless we're desperate!!!

Don't come here. Breakfast appalling. Waitress couldn't cope with two orders, she had no enthusiasm or charisma. Half the breakfast options were not available. Couldn't this morning cater for vegan nor vegetarians. Spend your mo ey elsewhere.

Birthday meal with family, food was lovely, lady manager Charlie was very welcoming and helpful, went above and beyond to help with making this a great birthday, puddings were delicious

Probably the most awful food I have ever experienced in my life, I don’t even know what the mash potato was made off, cement I think? God smacked they could even serve that and call it food. Even the kids pasta wasn’t pasta! How can you get raw carrots and cucumber wrong? Surely that can’t be messed up, warm, wet and soft. Wow!

Disgusting place, walked in for breakfast after staying next door, we found ourselves to be the only ones in. The staff was sat drinking coffee no friendly welcome or service Breakfast was awful, breakfast came out wrong and I had finished before they rectified Rude staff and food was like it was re-heated Will definitely not return Maybe the managers need to train staff

Came here with friends for breakfast as it been recommended for a lovely breakfast and great value. It did not disappoint! Lovely friendly staff aswell

Last minute breakfast stop and it did not disappoint friendly helpful staff and the breakfast was spot on,,! Leota was very chatty and helpful

Do you know what , this place is OK. Very pleasant and helpful staff. A good selection of drinks. Excellent provision for kids. Totally relaxed atmosphere. The food is pub food, nothing fancy but price wise you can not argue. When we asked for the salmon to be lightly cooked, that's what we got.

Awful. Never again. Ordered 3 Sunday Roasts and a children’s meal. The food came out so we went to get cutlery and there were only knives in the trays. Asked the staff and they went to the kitchen, returned and replied “We don’t have any” to which we asked “Should we eat our meals with some knives” and they said “We’re putting them through”. I asked for a tea spoon from the bar so my child could eat their meal at the very least. About 10 minutes later the server returned with 4 forks and I asked to speak to the manager. We said we were not eating cold food and will have a refund. The Sunday roast offer was £10 for a meal and drink, we had already had 7 drinks before this but got extra cokes due to the deal. The ‘manager’ refused to refund the full 3 x £10 and charged full price for 3 cokes so only a £20.25 refund was given. As we paid by card we were told the refund would take 3-5 days and “if we didn’t get it to call them”. There were several staff sitting around not doing very much, whether on a break or not on shift it didn’t look good at all. We watched as another person at the till required a refund and watched as a table received an incorrect meal. Surely someone could have quickly washed up 4 forks by hand and apologised with a free dessert for the child or actually given a genuine apology or explanation at the very least. No wonder it was empty on a Sunday lunch time.

Let's just say, "Will never go again."

Booked a table for 19 people with no problem. On the day all the staff were great and very friendly. They were short staffed but this did not affect the service given to us. Food came out quickly, we didn't have to wait too long for drinks either. The children in our party then went to the soft play area, where Fiona was very friendly and had good interaction with the children which was lovely to see. Thankyou to all the staff at Lakeside :) We will be back

Absolutely 10/10 service all polite staff and speedy service, new updated menu is a hit aswell very good food all round 5 stars

Me and my partner brought our 2 children into the wacky warehouse today, upon first appearance the wacky was very busy due to a large birthday party however the young lady Morgan who served us was still very attentive and when it came to ordering food and drinks she explained the kids eat for £1 deal and made the whole visit a breeze. She made us feel very welcomed and very happy with our visit

The food was burnt after waiting 40 mins wait And on return looked like it had been thrown on the plate There was other tables close by that had left And their plates was still quit full The tables and chairs was sticky and Food under the table from previous diners Honestly the food was disgusting I would never recommend this place It’s filthy and waste of good money After a long discussion we got a refund of a quarter of the total bill NEVER AGAIN 😡

A small group of us regularly visit after work on a Saturday evening. Staff are always very pleasant. Order food & drinks through the app & it is bought out to you. Small beer garden & kiddies play area. Plenty of parking.

Whenever I stay in Northampton at the Premier Inn at The Lakeside I always pop into this restaurant. Why? A few reasons - the food is cheap and cheerful, good portion sizes, friendly atmosphere, and in particular Jack who always greets you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. I’ll definitely keep coming back 😊

Foods good, along with staff and location. Decor is a bit tired in places, but it's clean.

Staff lovely and friendly. Place had a good feel to. The issue was the kitchens, we ordered drinks and a shared started, then we thought we would order mains after. Drinks arrived quickly, 55minutes later a luke warm starter arrived with missing items. So poor, and a shame for the waiters. I could hear other people chasing food. Also please make one side outside, non smoking. Essentially sort the kitchen issue out. We couldn't be bothered ordering mains or pudding.

Love the pub and the friendly staff, manager kache is exceptional and provided excellent customer service Will definitely visit again

Great food and great staff, me and the lads all love coming here

The place was empty and it took over 30 minutes for me and my partners food to come out. The I wanted to take my pudding away as the food filled me up. I was forced to have it as the did not have any take away boxes for puddings. That took over 20 minutes to come out. The when I got it. It must have been microwave as it was so hot it burnt my mouth while trying to eat it. So we will not be coming here again

Friendly staff and very nice food

Having left it too late to book a family of 9, somewhere to eat out for fathers day, I called lakeside on the off chance that it wouldn't be fully booked like everywhere else today but it was. Thankfully Morgan contacted me back and had arranged a space for all 9 of us and had spoken to management and arranged furniture to be rearranged to fit us all in which I thought was amazing. Can't thank the staff enough I've had a lovely afternoon here. Food was lovely.

Staff were friendly and helpful, but had to be prompted to bring cutlery. They brought dessert for my grandson whilst we were still eating our main course. Meat was difficult to cut, although the rest of the meal was very tasty. Small things, but ratings can be very easily improved.

Quick pitstop for dinner with my little one. Fiona was very helpful with letting us take out his ice cream in his kids meal deal.

Great evening meal at lakeside Hungry horse. Food and service good as always. Staff super friendly and helpful. Thank you Sue for looking after as.

Popped in for quick meal - food was good and excellent value for money. Served by Jack who looked after us very well. Thank-you!

Typical Hungry Horse restaurant. You know what to expect at these chain type places. Boring menu with nothing really exciting to choose from. Decor is out dated. Sticky tables & dirty chairs. No cutlery given when ordering, had to find it ourselves. Sizzler dishes weren’t even sizzling. No “How was your food” from any staff. Staff sitting in restaurant, on phones/eating etc. Also bringing full rubbish bags through the restaurant isn’t a nice sight. Overall experience - wouldn’t recommend or return in a hurry.

Had a beautiful meal for my birthday here with friends. Staff all so friendly and even a complimentary drink from the lovely Manager called Leota 🥰 The chef Bailey even came out the kitchen so I could thank him for the well cooked food ! Such a friendly place....very recommended 😊

It was good to try the curry night again. Good flavour and they were quick with the service too

Although the food and service was good, we could hear shouting and swearing coming from the kitchen, which made us move seats as we didn't want to hear that. Kids were running around the restaurant too, which I know was not the restaurant's fault, but made us reconsider actually returning unfortunately.

Loud music coming from kitchen, staff shouting at each other, other people's children running around screaming. Food was generally OK but was happy to get out.

First time I visited this place for a business meeting breakfast with 6 of my customers and found the staff very helpful & with a good sense of humour. Service was quick and the charge was low for the quality of the breakfast. Great service keep it up and will be back again.

Good food, great service from Hunter. Very efficient.

Went to the lakeside with all the family this morning for breakfast, both ladies couldn’t do enough for us, the kiddies even got a special treat of one of the mangers before leaving. I’ve forgotten the ladies names, but 5* for both of them. Will be returning next Saturday morning.

I have no words for how angry i am. Used to be a fantastic place. Booked for 18.30 this eve. Waited 10 mins to be seated at the wrong table. Then had to wait 20 mins for a drink and order starter. After going back to bar at 19.25 to order food was told kitchen shuts at 20.00.no problem ordering now. Half way through order get told kitchen is now closed and can't order any food. Half the staff sitting down talking and your new assistant manager also joining them. Great way to run a pub. There was no statement on facebook. Also the review was deleted I would like to say that since said manager is no longer there. The service is fantastic, food is great as always and staff are lovely. The only thing I have to say is. I'm upset we can't have the extra steak anymore. But I enjoy coming here again

Came in with my husband for breakfast. Service was good but the coffee and the food were served lukewarm so we had to ask for a warmer coffee and had to eat our breakfast fast before it became stone cold. Replying to your response. It was our first time ever using this establishment we travelled up from Kent to visit family, we are coming up again at the end of this month I will be booking into the nearby premier Inn but I will be eating elsewhere.

lovely staff and food was really nice! excellent service!!! thank you to lauren and hunter who were amazing today

I went with my family for dinner and we asked for some tissues and they said they didn’t have any, they also didn’t have any soap left in the bathroom, the tables were dirty and sticky, one toilet was out of order and one toilet had no lock on it so there was 1/3 cubicles available, the food took forever to get served and the food was not nice and the fudge cake was supposed to be warm but it was cold. One fork was really sharp and broken as well.

Mediocre food AWFUL TOILETS no excuse for that filth and smell couldn’t finish my meal after going there don’t know how they can legally stay open with toilets like that I could smell hours after leaving you only get a strong ammonia smell like that when urine is left for days and it crystallises bleach everyday 30 seconds job done

Went for breakfast with a mate, food was hard and cold. Eggs were like rocks and the sausages were cold. Unbelievable.

Good place for food and drinks also have special on every day

Dirty git thr order wrong and poor quality food

Really long wait for drinks and food even though not busy and most disgusting part was the raw sewage in gents toilets, all across floor and going out door. Informed staff but nothing done about it.

Was good until there was a power cut

Relaxing, quiet period time, breakfast. Services very good, can't order on app as some pubs do. The foods are well presented, cooked to my likely and good filling. The pub has plenty of seating, some areas are well lit and some areas are shadowed. It also has a wacky warehouse for under 12 to play in but charge. The whole of pub is well clean. However the bathroom needs attention. Ladies and disabled toilet really need refurbished big time. Faulty toilet in one, the toilet roll holder is broken, the door handle is broken, falling apart, need lick of paint, the sink cover in tape out of order. The whole experience in toilet is very unclean. It is a very good pub with great service, just the toilet really needed to be dealt with asap.

Lakeside food, service is basic also service a bit slow ordered food @7.30pm food came about 25mins which looked like it was thrown together hardly any sauce, food was dumped on table with no indication on where the cutlery also sauces, no-one on front bar because we said Deserts after mains still waiting for plates to be cleared nearly 25 minutes waiting asked for desert which took another 10mins honestly wouldn't be using this restaurant again

Love the breakfast xxx always cooked and presented very well. Great friendly atmosphere 😃

Went to the lakeside with some friends for food and a few drinks, the food was great, but the service was better, the girl working there kept checking to see if we was OK and made us a mix of drinks/shots 🙈 we definitely kept you busy! Thanks for a great evening, the lady did tell me her name but was a little tipsy lol think it was kache? I may be wrong lol. Thanks and will be back soon!

Went for a family meal Very clean great staff and service !!

Visited this lovely restaurant last week the service was amazing the food was beautiful great portions and cheap all the staff lovely and very helpful aspecially the girl who served me kache so polite and just beautifully mannered My son come with me and it is very kid friendly he loved the wakeys Thank you so much we will see you again next week ❤️

We have had lunch and dinner here and not a problem and was spot on . However we had breakfast 24/03/24 And had this been our first experience we would of never returned . Long wait not a problem but to have many item deep fried sorry this day and age so wrong .may I add we have eaten breakfast at other hungry horse restaurants and never had this . We will not return for another one ps ordered white toast but was just given brown my wife said ok but does not eat it . They could of asked and even refunded before just serving it out . Sorry I had to write this but it was disgusting

I stayed at the Premier inn next door and used this restaurant every evening while away on a trip for work. Excellent food, really fast and friendly service. Excellent prices too. Could not recommend enough, I will definitely be back!

Great breakfast 21/3/24 Nice staff

Decent chain pub. Baguettes are nice enough. Has a pool table which is the main reason we go

we come here on the weekends and take my three children into the wacky part where a lovely lady called brittany serves us she is absolutely lovely so friendly with my children which can be hard work but makes me feel relax and interact with the children when needed wouldn’t go anywhere else thank you brittany, also is amazing at her job

Had a wonderful breakfast was all perfect and beautiful presentated and value for money service with a a smile will be back soon thank you

Came here for a family meal on freebie Thursday , all of the food was fantastic and we would like to give a special shout out to jack the manager. Even though the coffee machine was down he got it made from the wacky warehouse for us. All of the food was served quickly and with friendly service from all of the staff. We will definitely be back, highly recommended

Came here on Wednesday, Friendly service with a smile , Lauren and hunter were great ! I highly recommend coming here for food

great place great for families, service from lauren was fantastic

Party of 8 for a family birthday meal and had a terrible experience all round. Slow service at the bar. Half the menu not available. I personally had to change my choice twice. No burgers, salmon half roasted chicken, chicken skewers or salad! No napkins! Not acceptable. Corn on cob over boiled and very soggy, jacket potato very dry. Sunday dinner was not great - veg looked and tasted over boiled. Yorkshire puddings very chewy. The normal size was smaller than normal with very limited meat. One of us upgraded to large for £2 that was a good size but again the above applies. The facilities were terrible. The woman's toilets were a mess. One out of order. One no loo roll. Only one functioning cubicle and a wet floor sign covering the sink. No hand soap. Mens were no better, stunk, no toilet roll and hand dryer didn't work. And to top it off my glass had a lipstick stain on it. Really gone downhill.

Pub was welcoming staff was amazing. Special thanks to kache who helped me with my requirements for my disabled daughter she made her feel very special Mix it up was a hit too

I went to the lakeside on Friday with my family. I have a disabled family member and the team, kache and Jack were so very accommodating towards us. Making us feel very comfortable. Food was brilliant service fantastic. Defo recommended.

Amazing service , lovely deal on burgers. Staff are such a joy and had a laugh with them thanks Kache and Jack

We had a lovely meal at the Lakeside Thursday, we were greeted by a lady called Kaché who was extremely polite and very accommodating. Great food great service. Highly recommend.

Waited 20 minutes at the bar. Staff ignored me multiple times and I was clearly waiting. JUST TAP WATER. Pisstake🥲 no check backs after food was delivered.

I came in with my girlfriend and have never been greated with a more friendly face, I believe his name was jack and his smile lit up our night, good and service as excellent, definetly coming back

Great spot for midweek drink&food. Nice and clean. Great service received by Jack O’Connor, a very polite approachable staff member

Vert limited food on the menu, floor was sticky, table sticky had the beer and went to another pub down the road, never again

Very good value friendly staff

This was absolutely horrific. We had a table booked which wasn't ready when we arrive. The staff just cleaned the table and pushed all the food on to the floor. When our food came had to wait around 10 minutes for cutlery. Food was cold, or burnt. I will never go here again.

5* all the way, fiona was so lovely and welcoming, Nat's breakfast was 5* absolutely amazing. Will definitely be coming again. Thank you x

Another lovely breakfast here. The breakfast lady always makes us welcome and accommodates the fussy eater we have (sorry, we’ll leave her at home next time lol) Happy, friendly atmosphere. You’ll be seeing us again soon 😁

I took family here at the weekend for a birthday treat. I was served by a lovely gentleman called Jack who was brilliant along with all of the staff. Would highly recommend. Great establishment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We honestly had such a great experience when we came here for dinner! Although the restaurant and the Wacky Warehouse were busy, our server (Vicki) went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best experience possible. Nothing was too big of an ask for her and she was so patient and kind to our little one when interacting with her. Thank you!!

We came in to the Wacky warehouse for a little treat after shopping and to let the kids blow off some steam. First time going here the member of staff that served us went above and beyond (vic) the way she interacted with both our kids was honestly amazing!! Will definitely be back when we’re next in the area!.

Great value, lovely food added bonus of the wacky! Staff were lovely especially Jo so helpful and great with my kids! Will defo return!

food was amazing, customer service was banging, love the staff, hope they r well :) overall amazing place to eat, amazing aptmosphere as well, very clean and tidy

Had an absolutely amazing time at the lakeside recently. Food was great, staff were lovely, Lauren was so helpful and friendly!!! Star

I came for dinner and had great food cooked by Loz. The portion sizes were great and food was cooked well! Would definitely come again and recommend!
