Overstone Manor - Pub & Carvery in Wellingborough

Beautiful food Great service Very clean Wheelchair accessible

Lovely Staff went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies.

We came during half term, due to being short staffed, only carvery was being served. The food was nice and service suffered a bit. However, big shout out to Zeki doing his VERY best to keep everyone happy. Working hard with a smile on his face. Making time to come and speak to my small children. He really make our experience enjoyable. Zeki is an asset to you team!

Great carvery. During the week it's a nice quiet place to go and it's huge. Food was very good quality on the carvery nice and fresh

We go here at least twice a month. Always had a good carvery and good service.

We didn't eat, but the food looked great.

This place is run down now..The food is poor quality..I had the hallumi chips and salad..Three small pieces of Hallumi and anemic chips for £11.00 👎

Ran out of food for the carvery poor service!

Nice carvery, good beer, great price, lovely setting, great atmosphere.

We celebrated a family birthday meal at Overstone Manor and Adam & Josh were so helpful and friendly and we all had a delicious meal. Thank you both for a brilliant evening 😊

After an awesome ENLROC quiz night and the bar being understaffed, both the kitchen staff and front of house pulled it off. Cracking bar, highly recommend popping in for a swift one, bar staff are always friendly.

Editing this review due to recent events: The last two times we visited since July were awful. On the first occasion, we were forgotten again for an hour while everyone else was served, even people who came in after us. We asked several times and were told they were understaffed. Then we didn't receive some of the order, and we had ten minutes to eat it before we had to leave as it was near closing. The second time, we arrived at our reservation to be told, they had no carvery food left and no chef? We left and luckily managed to book somewhere else as it was a celebration. The food is good when it arrives. Very understaffed. The food is usually late, the staff are doing their best but we had to wait an hour for our food the last time we went. We've been on various days and evenings, and it's always the same. They are still friendly and professional, and the place was very clean. Highly recommended, but be aware of delays due to lack of staff.

I can not recommend this place enough. Good value and a very good carvery. You can buy food off the menu but the carvery is what we always go for with family and friends.

The staff at the bar were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. However, the queue for the carvery was ridiculous. One person was working on the carvery, and he stopped every few minutes to check on all the vegetables and sauces. At one point, he even disappeared to take a pile of roast potatoes to a table! Very thoughtful, but surely someone else could have taken them. We queued for about 45 minutes to get our carvery. When we left, the queue was even longer. People were leaving as they didn't want to wait. The other people at our table that were bot having carvery also waited the same amount of time. Even though the food was very tasty, I wouldn't go there again, sadly.

Came for a meal tonight was served by a lovely staff member called summer she was really nice and friendly and made out visit relaxed she was really helpful the food was amazing

Lovely Carvery, plenty of it, very popular place, so need to book on a Sunday. I recommend this place, was lovely

Friendly staff, welcoming pub its self and beautiful atmosphere. Great food .

Just be aware they dont mind serving you grissle and rare steak I did say something to the a member of staff and all they said was, oh sorry about that and walk off

Delightful place to eat! Beautiful setting, great food

Very good pints and the food was cooked to perfection. Very busy carvery.

Beautiful pub, always lovely food and a wonderful service. Thank you

Amazing food and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely revisit.

First time I've eaten here, had the carvery which was delicious. Dog friendly so an extra star 🌟 for that

Took an 1 hour to get dinner. Then the chicken was so tough it offered me outside twice. Also ordered a carvery bap was just a dried up turkey roll. Would not recommend unless you have a few hours to spare for dinner

Haven’t been here for a while for a carvery and was pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious and had flavour! Was hot and the chef serving was very polite and friendly, super impressed! Only thing we sat near the kitchen door and slamming noise was quite irritating but can easily sit somewhere else. Just a tip if noises can irritate you. Will definitely be returning!

An excellent carvery. Really good. Is a must for Sunday lunches.

Bad smell and not very clean. Just walked away!

Abit slow to get your food but the food is lovely and the manor itself is a nice place. The staff are really nice and friendly, and there’s even a kids play area there’s also an outdoor seating area but we was unable to visit this on this occasion as the uk weather let it down

We waited over an hour for our food and when we got it the peas were like bullet's and the food was nearly cold, there wasn't a member of staff in site to complain to

Was First time here, wasn't that busy had booked a table but told to sit anywhere, they seemed to be a bit pushed for staff at the carvery, the meat cutter was in n out of the kitchen every 5 minutes filling veg up, the beef was very tough ,was the end bit, couldn't chew it but the rest was bloody lovely n tasty, definitely be back again 😉

Good carvery and drink selection with a lovely big outside area!

We didn't get there until Sunday evening and a couple of food items had run out because the afternoon had been very busy. However the staff went out their way to help. Great service by the guy on the carvery. Pet friendly. Great space outdoors for children. Big and spacious inside and an extensive outdoor area. Good value for money.

Nothing more to say, excellent food, staff, atmosphere

Just a drink outside in the sun, service was good

Like it here..bought a carvery late.. had no roast.pots.. staff should have said before I paid.. kitchen staff were super nice

One of the best carvery’s in the area for a reasonable price. Large beer garden and plenty of parking.

A busy carvery managed well by a large staff

We recently made a last-minute booking for a group of 15 people at Overstone Manor - Pub & Carvery, and it turned out to be an excellent choice! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring our large group was comfortably seated. The food was absolutely fantastic. The carvery offered a great selection of meats, all cooked to perfection, and the variety of sides and vegetables was impressive. Everyone in our group found something they loved, and the portions were generous. The desserts were also a hit, with a range of delicious options to choose from. Service was top-notch throughout our visit. Despite the short notice and the size of our group, the staff managed everything smoothly and efficiently. They were attentive without being intrusive, and their warm hospitality made our experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Overstone Manor exceeded our expectations. It’s a wonderful place for a meal with family or friends, and we highly recommend it for both the quality of the food and the excellent service. We’ll definitely be returning!

Sadly, they were short on staff today, so limited menu (carvery only), but that suited us as they were still able to catered for the GF in our group. Staff were running round like ..... but still wanted to make sure everything was good. And I think the empty plates speak for themselves.

Excellent carvery that never lets us down! The food is great and the chefs on the counter are generous. Unfortunately the drinks service can be slightly hit and miss but overall, it's a great affordable alternative to cooking your own roast!

Lovely big pub but let down badly by shortage of staff,ordered meal at 18.15 and was told there was a 45 min wait which we were ok with that at 19.30 I went in and asked how much longer the food would be and was told they were plating it up another 15 mins went by and still no food again enquired as to whereabouts our food was and was told they are bringing it out now ( no appearance)my wife again went in and complained and the bar server said she would bring it out herself this took another 5 mins when food arrived the fish was overcooked and tasteless it was hot though,this used to be a brilliant place to eat but like a lot of places the standard has fell well below expectations which is a pity as it has such a nice setting it will be a long time before I try this place again for food. There were 3 of us eating.

We didn't eat this time but the food looked amazing so we will be back.

IMO the best carvery in Northampton, even beats those that are in the same group. Always plenty of veg on offer and their beef dripping roast potatoes are delicious. I come during the weekday as not too busy and I like the quietness but the staff are always jovial and make for a good atmosphere. I keep telling myself it’s a once a month treat but seems to a weekly thing 😬.

100% will revisit. A more than adequate venue.

Pubs is good when they have the staff to cater for everyone. Good function rooms at very reasonable prices and a decent menu of food for events.

Decent carvery. Could do with a couple of people serving to reduce the queuing

Had Jonny serve myself and partner the carvery absolute legend very friendly and served with a smile and gave us a treat for our dog 🐕

Had the carvery Johnny was so helpful and the food amazing don’t need to eat for a week amazing

Nice place in a lovely setting. However, we went for a pre-booked private function for our child's football team. Despite pre-booking and pre-ordering, we arrived to be told they were short staffed due to poor planning by the manager and therfore our food order was going to be late. The venue was very busy with walk-ins that the manager had not foreseen, despite it being the warmest and nicest Friday for weeks. It became VERY apparent that walk-in orders were prioritised, as we arrived for our 7:30pm booking and food did not come until nearly 10pm!!! Our children were amongst the last to receive food. Kudos to the front of house team though, they handled an extremely stressful situation very well, while the manager ramained in the kitchen. Great service team, let down by very poor venue management. Felt very sorry for the poor ladies behind the bar.

Food was epic Jonny was our server very friendly and happy to help, even gave the fur baby a treat absolute legend thank you

It's ok, the staff did there best.. photo is me waiting for the food

We were served by Lynette, who advised us of a forty minute wait for food. Both of us ordered steak and ale pie.This was our first visit to Overstone Manor. Food arrived just over forty minutes, and it was well worth the wait as the food was excellent. Will return soon.

Chef Jonny was very polite - working hard

Jonny the chef was very efficient and polite

Lovely carvery today and friendly staff

Came today for a carvery,and what can I say jonny was our server,and he was very professional chef,he was polite and great customer service well done,shall be back

Cannot thank Mason (carvery guy) enough for all of his efforts with our carvery! He went above and beyond! Happy Chap doing overtime and still giving excellent customer service! Will 100% recommend him at the Overstone manor restaurant. Made our visit worth it! Thankyou Mason 😄👍

Enjoy the day. Very much stuff was very friendly and helpful

Absolutely useless, Went in for a family meal, went to the bar to order drinks initially, asked if I wanted to order anything else no mention of not serving food, went to order on the app which I couldn’t get to work with my blue light, so we went to the bar to be told, they’re not serving food! Absolute abysmal! Communication awful, not notice to say not serving food, paid for drinks to go with dinner, now have to find another place for food, costing me more money as will have to buy more drinks! Ridiculous, always something with this place only gave 1 star because I had to! Best part out this place is the outside space, rest of it a waste of time! Shocking!

The food was amazing. Service brilliant. A few of us went for lunch for a friends birthday, the atmosphere was brilliant and the garden is lush

Crap service, with over an hour wait. There were 5 of us. Three of us went to the bar and ordered, the other two through the app. After waiting ½ hour,I went to chase up the drink of ordered on the app. Staff were basically ignoring me, and when I did speak to someone (after standing there 10 minutes), they got my drink. We were still waiting for food, so I stopped a waitress, who apologised and said she'd find out, only to be never seen again. We got someone else who was quite rude, and told us there was up to an hour wait, despite the kitchen showing as being closed on the app. I then got someone else, who did chase our food up. When it arrived, it was dry, and wasn't very good Very disappointed, will never eat here again. Really spoiled my view of eating with Greene King, a brand I constantly use

Went for carvery member if staff marlee was very quick and helpful. Good service

Our recent visit with The Northampton branch of the NHS retirement fellowship. 17 members attended and we were given the Green Room. A few hick ups but Matt & the team did us proud. Thanks again

We come hear a lot the food is lovely carvery, our server Alyiah was lovely always running round makin sure everything is well and all ok she brightens up the place

Not the best for vegetarian. I had finished my food before the veg pie arrived.

Good food at reasonable price. Took a little while for food to arrive despite not being that busy. Kids play area could do with a clean and upgrade.

Visited today at 4pm walked around and left tables were filthy with plates and empty glasses not at all welcoming will think twice before going again

Food was ok,just we had carvery,they had run out of Yorkshire's,stuffing and 1 meat,but still charged full price.20 min wait to be served,and filthy toilets that didn't flush.

The staff were very blasé with responding to questions about allergens. Staffing issues meant only a carvery was available all vegetables were covered in 'unknown' glaze. No vegan/veggie option. Junior chef was very accommodating and cooked fresh vegetables. Overall Disorganised and a real shame as the venue is lovely. Toilet facilities are grim and need attention.

Lovely building and surroundings but let down with very poor service took over a hour to cook just 2 child's sausages , kids getting grumpy waiting for there food whilst we ate our carverys ,was not busy and no way even half full so why the very long wait for food ? and I was ignored twice at the bar .....!!? Lad carving the meat was a good lad though .think we stick with going Spoons , faster service cheaper too

Bank holiday Monday inside play area closed we had with us our 4year old great granddaughter and.no childrens menu only carvery so needless to say we didn't stay 🙁

Only thing going for this place is the building and the ladies behind the bar taking orders..food was a let down

If one is not going in to order and pick up himself, the wait is so long

Just want to say a big thank you to Adam one of your bar staff he was so polite and helpful to us both each time we have been for lunch .

Cannot fault the carvery especially weekdays as very good value for money. My wife likes beef well done so they offered to carve it then grill it which was ideal, thankyou to carver who offered this service. Also no issue with cranberry sauce running out, it was replaced quickly. Great selection of vegetables including parsnips, swede mash, cauliflower, sprouts, red cabbage, minted potatoes, carrots and roast potatoes. Would recommend!

Great place to take the family. Delicious food. Play area for the kids, outside seating. Lovely staff. Good value.

Atmosphere is nice, service was slow, but beer cold.

When I arrived there was so many tables that had not been cleared problem finding a clean table and wasn't busy.Then found a clean table no cutlery waitress said she would bring some never did. Some Tables were still not cleared by the time we left made the place look very dirty. Carvery was nice

Absolutely lovely place...the cavery was Absolutely amazing tastes homemade and the caver was top notch...lovely sunny day for kids to play outside

Carvery server Feri deserves credit for the great atmosphere and service he delivers!!! He made my kids experience and amazing customer service!!!

The chef was nice, very chatty. The meat was so thin it was just crumbly bits on my plate. The veg wasn't very warm. I have been to Manor many times, usually good, don't think I will be back in a long while

Tried the mid-week carvery. Great selection, good quality, and really tasty. Excellent value for money. Staff were super friendly and cheerful. The scenery was amazing, the weather even gave a helping hand and provided a gorgeous sunset.

Very bland place at the time we visited, was served raw gammon and hardly any staff to talk to. Plenty of better options very local to this place I can't see myself returning in the near future

We had a table booked for 5.30 we ordered food at 18.06 and was still waiting for food at 19.30 food wasn't as good as we have had before service was appalling tried to find a member of staff to discuss these issues and a refund but the were hard to find there were tables that hadn't been cleared from previous customers ..the ladies and men's toilets were disgraceful we won't be visiting again it as really gone downhill .

We had a lovely family lunch here on a random Saturday and will definitely be back with more of the family. A special shout out to Olly on the carvery, extremely welcoming and should be recognised for his efforts - thank you!

Food was great but service was shockingly bad. Can't blame the staff as they were almost running everywhere, just not enough of them on a night they decided to have an organized pub quiz! Come on Overstone Manor, get your act together!

I can’t score the food as we didn’t eat but a very interesting place. Extremely large and would be well suited for big gatherings with a Massive outdoor space and lovely beer garden.

Beautiful carvery today cooked just right :)

Great carvery pub as you would expect

Never again Q after Q. Food was OK. After a very long wait even though we had booked a table. Most pots at the carvery were either empty or very dry. And to top it all off the Woman sat on the table next to ours had her DOG on the table & no one said anything to her. Unexceptable. Health risk.

I booked a few months ago and spoke to the manager asking for a table near to the carvery for someone with a rollator and someone who cannot carry their own plate. I reiterated this when we checked in. We were then told we were 30 mins early and there were no tables even in the bar for us to sit at and wait. So the waitress took us to table 41. I was unable to go to the carvery due to the distance so couldn’t choose my own food. There was no apology for this. The member of staff also ignored me twice as I was sat in a rollator and clearly disabled but I was the person who booked and checked in. The room where table 41 was had screeching children running all over the place and making the chairs vibrate. It was sensory overload for me as I am neurodivergent. One child tried to touch our food. Ordered drinks on the app but still took a long time. Most of the veg was hard and we couldn’t eat it. Your staff need equality training.

Very nice Carvery. The staff were very welcoming.

Front of house staff nice , general manager was very rude with and aggressive attitude and nature , Wouldn’t recommend the venue for private functions . Use of bad language and shouting aswell. Very unprofessional

Absolutely beautiful Sunday roast dinner.

Just passing and was very busy but had a take away carvery to eat in our motorhome . Very helpful staff and food was fresh, hot and very tasty . Would definitely recommend

Been here many times now and still great value for a carvery

Would be nice to have fresh cooked food not left overs from night before then re heated. Lady who served us at the carvery section even said it’s all from day before. Had to ask for fresh beef as you could tell the beef that was out was old and re heated. Same as rest of the meat. Poor food poor quality. I would be ashamed to be serving food like that to paying customers.

Came and had a carvery. The food was amazing and definitely will come back. Thank you for welcoming motorbikers

Lovely venue with a good atmosphere.

Needs some updating. More staff required. Could be a great pub as it's a large area inside and out.
