Extreme thanks go out to Nathan, Ian and all the team at the Montague Arms for giving us the best family get together for my wife’s birthday. Twenty seven of us, food was fabulous and hot, drinks were a plenty and the service was absolutely exceptional. Can’t thank you all enough and we will be back again for our next big family get together.

Fantastic food options with a good ‘specials’ offering. Warm, friendly bar staff - always service with a smile! Relaxed welcoming atmosphere- particularly weekends! Traditional food options to cater for various tastes including GF . Great atmosphere!

I took some friends here for dinner one evening, as it came highly recommended to me. The service was friendly and polite, the place itself is a mixture of both old and new, with the original parts of the building being 17th or 18th century architecture and the restaurant itself being a newer building. Food was served in good time and at a good temperature… extremely tasty and well presented… very good for the price. Would definitely come here again, although, maybe earlier in the evening than on this occasion.

This is a traditional pub in a beautiful village. We received a very warm welcome & the service was efficient with no wait to be served. Outside is a lovely pub garden with a good play area for children, camping field & large car park. A pleasant place to have a drink & some lunch. The food is exceptional! I had the Monty Burger which had a generous two burgers & tasted delicious! Always a good atmosphere even on a Thursday night, which was when we visited most recently. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love the Monty Arms. It has a play area next to the beer garden which keeps the children entertained. Food is excellent and there is a decent range of beers to choose from. Definitely worth a trip (or many!)

EDIT: This is still a good pub, with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the food has been lacking the last few visits. The roast dinner is fairly basic and the Sunday menu really lacks imagination. I recommend for drinks, but there is a lot better food for the same price at other similar locations. Nice country pub with attentive/friendly staff, good range of drinks. The food isn't bad, average to high pricing for the type of venue and location. Overall a nice experience the few times I've visited 👍

A massive thank you to Ian and his team for providing space for 50 of us on Saturday to celebrate the life of my Dad who sadly passed away recently. The staff were excellent, and the food and drinks were delicious. Guests arrived from all over the world to this event, and everyone was full of compliments for the location, facilities and friendly atmosphere of The Montagu Arms in Barnwell. Thanks again, you made the day special.

We booked the restaurant and a buffet for my birthday last weekend. Ian was so helpful in organising the food as we have friends and relatives who are vegan, vegetarian, gf vegetarian etc!! However everything was organised to perfection and there was so much yummy food!! The atmosphere was lovely, as were the staff, no problems at all , it was all so relaxed and pleasant and I would definitely recommend this as a lovely place for large gatherings . The gardens are lovely and available for my guests to go outside if they wanted to. The price was very reasonable for a savoury and puddings buffet for 32 people . Thank you Ian and all your staff, a very professional job and I had a great time!!

FINALLY!! A restaurant that has got the pate to toast ratio correct. This alone is worthy of a 5* review. Originally popped in last night for a pint, which turned into 2, which turned into - well you know how it goes. Decided to stay for a meal and are very glad that we did. Starters were duck, pate and prawns followed by three burgers. What we didn't eat was put in a takeaway box as well which was great! No complaints whatsoever from either my wife or daughter - a rarity I can tell you ;-) Hats off to all the staff! Will definitely be popping back in the near future and recommending to anyone that will listen. 10/10

I was very disappointed with the roast lamb dinner today. I was unable to cut the meat it was so tough and stringy. The meal overall was tasteless very disappointing The staff and atmosphere was very good but the food was a let down. The meat was left on my plate when collected by waitress and I explained that the meat was inedible but nothing was said. I did not make too much fuss as my grandson booked this for me as a surprise for Mother’s Day.

Met up with some friends for an evening meal. Lovely and clean interior and exterior. It was raining but could see a nice beer garden, plenty of seating, well looked after, some areas covered against the weather. The staff were friendly, the menu was pretty good, not big but sufficient choices for each course. It was busy, but we were still well looked after, not rushed or forgotten. A very good ambience, in fact we were the last to leave, as they have a bar area, you are not rushed to leave from the eating area. Would highly recommend 👌

Came in on a Friday night with a fairly large party and it seemed to be fairly packed. Plenty of seating outside and the inside looks like it would be a pleasant place to have a pint on rainy or cold day. There was an almost constant crush at the bar to order but staff was attentive and food was flowing from the kitchen fairly quickly. Food was okay. Nothing special but not bad either. All around safe bet for a pub.

This pub is situated in the beautiful village of Barnwell, just off the main A605 road. We visited a week or so ago and had an excellent Sunday roast dinner, no complaints. Lovely garden to the rear and the pub is perfectly located for people walking the Nene way path. Parking is to the rear of the pub. A very oldy worldy type pub that serves good food.

A lovely country pub located in the picturesque village of Barnwell. Only popped in for a pint but will certainly sample the food menu in the near future. Several real ales on usually with one or two from the local Digfield Brewery as they are also located in Barnwell. Nice decor inside and attentive staff, worth a visit.

We had a very good Sunday lunch here. The food was lovely. Being popular, the dining room was full and busy, and was really quite loud when we first arrived. Fortunately, it quietened down after a few tables emptied and we were then able to have a conversation and hear each other. The service wasn't quite as good as the food.

Book a table. They put us in the bar where we couldn't eat our food without other people bumping into us. No one came to take our order so we had to push our way to the bar. Then 40 mins later the food came out cold. Way over priced for the portion size. Ended up going to another restaurant for a second meal. Would not recommend this pub. Full of rough and load farmer.

Overall, we had a really good experience here. We had a party of 16 and the service was excellent, especially for a fairly busy Saturday night. Drinks were great and well made. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. However, the food is what dropped the score to what would have been 5 stars down to a respectable 4. I had a prawn tempura appetizer and a steak. The prawns were nothing special, but were good. The steak was good, but had some burnt crispy things on it and I couldn't identify what they were. Very small portion of chips(fries) came with it. Two in our party had the fish and chips and were woefully underwhelmed. Both said the fish and batter was flavorless. One only consumed about half and was just frustrated by the lack of flavor. I'm not sure how the others in our party fared with their meals. Splitting the bill was a mess too. The last person to pay, had to cover what was left. We like the place and I'm sure we'll be back, but will try some other meals next time. Other positives...the car park is huge and there is lots of seating if you include the outdoor seating area.

Beautifully refurbished, local pub at the end of a pretty walk from Glapthorn. Excellent choice of local beer and a wine list from local wine merchants. Small but good lunch and breakfast menu. We had the baked Camembert with a glass of decent red. First time I’ve ever had a Camembert and had too much bread! Can’t recommend this place enough. Use local or lose local!!

We were staying locally to visit a close family relative who is in hospital. After a day long visit we returned to our rental tired and hungry and saw there was a pub at the end of the road. For me there are three essential ingredients for a perfect pub - real fire, friendly locals and olde world decor. The Angel offers this and so much more - great food and to cap it all off a brass band playing carols. Aptly named, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Just perfect.
