Maltsters Country Inn in Daventry

We popped in on Saturday to see if they do a gluten free Sunday lunch. After a moments thought, Simon said yes and the Sunday lunch he prepared was delicious, will definitely be going back.

Lovely nice place great service friendly vibes

From the approach in through the village I thought I was going to like this short one night stay but unfortunately the carpark at the rear of the Inn was very scruffy, unkempt as all the headge and trees surrounding it were overgrown with litter and old leaf stroon around the base, there was an old skip full of junk at one side of the park that looked like it had been there for months, as we parked up and headed inside to check in, the place looked tired and in need of tlc, not very clean and tidy, in the bar we picked up the key to our room witch was not bad compared to the rest of the place, be carfull of the very steep staircase though, was a bit like climbing a ladder, breakfast was terrible, I'm not going to say anymore about that suffice to say we couldn't wait to get in the car to find somewhere to eat. Nuf said

Lovely Sunday afternoon spent here amazing lunch! Its a really peaceful spot in a nice village. Great bar area and all of the people we met who worked there were very warm and friendly. Look forward to returning!

Traditional village pub with superb Sunday roast. Super service.

They must have changed the chef recently because the food was not good! We came as a large group and the majority of the dishes were lacking any flavours. Lamb shank and the fish pie were bland and the cheese burger came without any cheese. We left disappointed

Really enjoyed our stay here. We were here for 3 nights, breakfast. Dinner food is slow, took nearly over an hour for it to come but luckily we no rush and were having a catch up. Breakfast can come down any time as long as you don’t want cooked breakfast. Breakfast on the first day really good lots to choose from. Next 2 days no croissants at all and not so many muffins. Last day no water in kettle so not sure if could go into kitchen to get any so went to bathroom instead. Teapot was not cleaned out and was put away. Rooms all good gets very warm due to the landing heater is on so high so window had be left open. No room service at all. Milk was gone off, power pressure in the shower needs sorting as takes longer to have a shower. Otherwise nice place to come

This was a rather serendipitous find as a change of plan led to us being in an unfamiliar location but without an internet connection. We decided to change this pub and were very glad we did. The staff and owner could not have been more welcoming so we decided to stay for food. The menu looked great, with several possibilities for us vegetarians. We will definitely be returning when next in the area.

What a little hidden culinary gem this place is. My partner and I went by chance for dinner on a Friday evening. Having no previous idea of the place, we were extremely impressed with the quality and taste of the food! It felt like whomever is in the kitchen really cares about the food they are serving. Brilliant place. Thank you

Serving well cooked, traditional food at an amazing price. Very friendly and excellent service. Be sure to book as they're busy!

We came on a Saturday for lunch as we decided to do a long walk around the area. It was quiet when we walked in (unusual I believe!). They had the fire on which was lovely. We all had the Steak and Ale pie which was delicious, homemade pie, there was plenty of steak, the chips were lovely and the mushy peas were homemade and really good! Very impressed. We also had banoffee pie and apple crumble, both of which were also super yum! The chef came out and spoke to us for a bit too, staff was great. Overall, highly recommend and will be back!

A lovely pub, great service and cheerful staff. Plenty of room in a relaxed atmosphere. I'm not keen on the cider on offer so I had Guinness, which was good at a fiver a pint...my local charges £5.60😳. We both had burgers from a good selection on menu. They were tasty and properly cooked, served with coleslaw chips and a little pot of cheese sauce, not just any cheese sauce, this was banging, a treat to the taste buds. It has paprika in it apparently 👍 So, a nice pub , recommended if you are passing,or if you can afford to live in the village. Support your local pub. 👍👍🍻

Beautiful place and great service

Lovely village pub. Great Sunday roast too. Been again for a little private celebration and again the food was lovely, nice atmosphere.

I've just had the best Sunday dinner here. Fabulous!

We were a large walking group and we booked in with Megan for a bacon Butty breakfast with coffees. Numbers and requirements changed as we got closer to the date but nothing was too much trouble. Thank you, a lovely start to what became quite a long walk at Christmas. Would love to come back and try the main meals. Everything looked lovely.

We had an enjoyable afternoon with our Son and Grandson a good start to Christmas.

Stayed night here Christmas Day, such a lovely place and village. The room very clean, decorated well, comfy bed, lovely ensuite. Good breakfast. Very good value too compared to other places nearby. Highly recommend.

Service a bit slow, beautiful location and lovely building

Attended the fortnightly themed dinner service on Italian night. The food was delicious, service was great, and it was a lovely atmosphere, I would highly recommend.

Lovely stopover location before heading on to work conference. Self service continental breakfast with plenty of choice

Great pint pizza and hospitality as always. Sunday roast always a must.

I took me parents for Sunday lunch at the Malsters Country Inn. It was a really pleasant and relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful Village. They allowed dogs which was perfect as we had 4 little dogs with us after having been on a nice woodland-walk. The food was excellent. It was cooked how we asked. The desert was incredible and all good value for money. The service was fun and entertaining and everyone friendly. We had such a lovely time and plan to return again soon.

Visited for the first time today..and so glad we chose this place. Lovely country pub where we received a very warm welcome. The food was superb...I had the beef bourguignon..the beef was so tender with the best creamy mash. We will definitely be visiting again

Fabulous restaurant. The food and service was 100%. staff, owner and chef were very welcoming and were super friendly. And great value. Would definitely recommend.

Great supper, friendly service. Handmade, tasty food. It was my birthday and felt really treated.

Have driven past many times but this was the first time to pay a visit. Friendly staff and a nice pint! Will definitely do in again and will check out the food menu next time too.

Friendly staff and good food. I give it 4 stars.

Food was very disappointing…. Shoved into the back room …. Was cold and uninspiring, have eaten there a few times food was always fantastic…. Since it’s been taken over it’s very poor …. I won’t be going there again, in response to your reply …. June 30th 2023, my partners birthday …. There was also another couple seated in there as well after us

This must have been taken over recently. There are two very polite new barmaids who don't know a lot but they give everything a go and check if they're not sure. I beleive one is the daughter of the landlord. There was only one meal choice, a burger. The past reviews shown amazing food so was very disappointed in this. It was nothing special. I hope this is teething issues as its my first visit to what is a very nice venue and location

Sorry we had a really disappointing meal at the Maltsters recently, we ordered the Burger which looked so unappetising as it arrived on the plate with a bucket of chips along with a small burger in a bun with a slice of tomato , NO coleslaw , onion rings cheese , bacon or salad . The meal looked sad with no effort in presenting a nice meal. The puddings were also that small it was not worth the money we paid . We left very disappointed and hungry. The staff were friendly but not very attentive and didn't ask us if wanted more drinks. The Pub could really do with finding a decent chief that will turn the place back into a good eating pub to draw people back in as it is I couldn't recommend

Lovely pub. The new team are brilliant. Megan, Zach, Evan and Simon are all really friendly. Great customer service. The food is brilliant - the dishes we had were all home made, delicious, and reasonably priced. Nice big garden, dog friendly, and they do a good pub quiz too. Recommended!

Disappointed we were not told when ordering oue mains that there are no puddings as chef has no stock as menu is changing. I felt was pretty poor all round, communication, average roast, seriously shrunk meal, a tiny yorkshire pudding. Best to ring ahead. Cannot recommed to friends anymore. Staff were nice.

Good food but really poor portion sizes for the Sunday roast

Perfect break away from the day to day grind, wanted a lovely little area to go with our dog and relax and this couldn’t have been any better! Megan and Zach are great hosts and doing an amazing job, couldn’t recommend this highly enough, thank you and your family for a lovely few days break. Keep up the great work

My local for 6 years now and fantastic, friendly community asset

Service was amazing! Food was incredible, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!

Attended a wake here .a good supply of beers and wines.i had coffee as was driving and the coffee was lovely not instant but fresh out of a machine..

Very nice little country pub, excellent food and very friendly helpful staff 😊

Lovely old pub. Friendly staff, great selection of drinks. Good atmosphere

Fantastic pub! Great service and ambience. We had amazing home-made nachos as a starter followed by a delicious wild mushroom & spinach risotto. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, service and although we didn't eat, the food looked very good.

Local village pub. Interesting music theme decorations in the lounge. Book a steak on Thursday. Really good deal.

Lovely meals, including a Sunday roast. Staff are really friendly and attentive, saving my husband's roast as he was running late. Lively cosy atmosphere.

Staff and food was first class really enjoyed it

Excellent and delicious food served by friendly and courteous staff. Afterwards we went for a walk in the woods which made for a lovely day all round. We will probably come back in May for another fantastic meal and the bluebells ☺️

Good food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

This is a lovely village pub. Great food. Make sure to book a table... And the cocktails, lovely.

The Great British Sunday Lunch in all its glory - absolutely delicious

Friendly staff but pub lacked customers. No real ale, two beers on tap were awful. Had to drink lager which was good but expensive 😫 car park is rather on the small side. Food that passed me looking very good 👍 Would return if real ales are introduced 🤔. Captain Quick.

Nice beer garden, and also for the musicians there's a few guitars available for anyone who wants to strum! Three decent beers on draught but would have been nice for a bit more choice

Lovely food been here 3 x now Lunch with sons. The posh chips are delicious we love the truffle mayo

Amazing food and the staff are lovely

Had a lovely lunch in the pub garden. Gemma was working solo and was rushed off her feet. She still gave excellent customer service regardless.

Excellent service, good food and drinks well presented. Staff friendly and highly efficient. Would recommend to family or friends. Good job Malsters!

Real nice, we were surprised by everything. The service was very good, professional, smart, well done and friendly. The food was great, not badly priced and well prepared and presented.

Good Food, friendly and attentive staff, very tasty Long Island Ice Tea

Most expensive drinks I have come across in a Northampton pub, 25% dearer than the average.

Absolutely amazing Pub! Such friendly staff, amazing food and great atmosphere! Perfect to pop into after a nice walk round the woods!

Great staff, great food, great pub !

We had an excellent meal. What a fab country Inn! The staff are lovely and so welcoming. Thanks for a great time

It was out first time there and I have to say it was excellent. The staff are so welcoming , friendly and attentive . Even though it was a reduced menu the choices were great and the food itself was very very good. We would highly recommend , well done!!!

Great welcoming country pub. Good beer and friendly staff. Ample parking and a well kept beer garden

Absolutely fabulous 👌 staff are amazing food was fantastic. 5 star all the way.

Fabulous, friendly service and delicious food. The Sunday roast is excellent.

A hidden gem! What a perfect country pub and restuarant. Staff were really nice and friendly (even letting us try some experimental cocktails), food was excellent and far exceeding typical pub food expectations. Great choice of beers and drinks and set in a lovely little village. Highly recomend, will certainly be going many more times.

This is the second time we have eaten at the Malsters and both times have been impeccable food and service. It’s rare to find a pub nowadays that nails both food and service so I’m pleased we’ve found a gem! Thank you!

Very good all round. Good food, decent beer, excellent staff. Def worth a visit. 🙂👍

Staff extremely friendly , cocktails and food were lush , great atmosphere, highly recommend this pub 👍

Great service, knowledgeable bar staff and good atmosphere. Highly recommended

Went here for a Sunday roast a few weeks ago and it was one of the best roasts I’ve ever had! Delicious beef, crispy potatoes, great veg and even pigs in blankets. The service was fantastic and the pub had a really warm, friendly atmosphere. Perfect after a walk in Badby woods. Will definitely be back!

Visited for lunch with my husband and mum. Service was warm and friendly and food was lovely, we had the steak sandwich, chicken burger and mushroom on sourdough. Would definitely recommend! Thank you.

Came down from Nottingham to visit some friends, had Sunday lunch, very nice thank you very much. The staff were most welcoming and a credit to the owners 💯

Great food, service and price. What more can you ask for?

Had Sunday lunch with my Son and two friends last week, not cheap but Probably one of the best roast lamb Sunday lunches I have ever had, beautifully cooked and plenty of it for the hungry. Complements to the Chef

Nice place, lovely food with attentive friendly service.

Great fish and chips. Great stsff

Really lovely visit, Excellent food & service, will definitely return

Good food and really friendly staff

Lovely place the lad who served us was brilliant cant wait to go back for steak night on Wednesday with the experience of our steak ciabatta today cant go wrong thank you

My friends and I had Sunday Lunch here at the Masters today and it was absolutely excellent, beautifully cooked and full of flavour, compliments to the chef. I will be recommending The Masters to people I know

Great country pub good selection of beers and food.

Had a fantastic meal here, was just unfortunate we were left for 45mins to have our desert order taken. Other than that it was nice

Great food and staff are so friendly and tentative. Would massively recommend after accidently stumbling across this place!!

Great food. Great price and wonderful friendly staff.

Lovely food and great service 👌

Nice village pub by the green. pleasant to sit outside on a summers day and watch the world go by. Good parking and toilets.

Lovely food and very friendly staff

Lovely village with great dog walks into the woods really good quality Sunday lunch and good pint of ale highly recommended will definitely go again

Good food and beer with very friendly service.

So pleased the Maltsters is open again - my family love coming here. The beer, food & service is still excellent & the Covid restrictions feel managed.

Lovely pub, gorgeous food, really friendly owners 5*'s

Great local pub serving quality home made food with a smile (behind the Covid-19 mask!). Having stopped by on a Thursday I had to have a pie (Thursday is pie night) and I can't remember the last time I had such a tasty, rich beef pie. Delicious.

Very good Sunday lunch. I went with 3 other people, a lunch stop during a Sunday country walk. We had 2 roast beef and one belly pork lunches, and a soup. All the meals were well cooked and tasty, enjoyed by everybody. The 'Proper job' ale was good too. The staff were friendly and efficient, a great Sunday afternoon experience.

We ate there last nite 25/09/20 and was very impressed firstly with it rules regarding Covid. Masks on all staff, as well as customers entering pub... hygiene standards high. Food was fab and good portions 😋... lovely relaxing evening with our friends and a small bell ringing at 9.30 to tell us all to drink up and eat up and out by 10pm curfew time ! Bless... Felt very comfortable there and definitely will return again....

Really friendly, great service, highly recommend this pub.

Top Boozer, Fab staff, quality food and drink. 👩‍🍳🥩🧄🍺🍷

Lovely food,drinks and service.

Especially given corona, everything was exceptional. We did find two tiny pieces of plastic in the vanilla ice cream but it was an unnoticed broken tub not a systematic issue so we will still give top marks, but are transparent.

Well managed during these strange times
