Paisley Pear Brackley in South Northamptonshire

First of all Caroline and Hayley need a huge pay raise and a Huge Thank You for being fabulous...!!! Great customer service and such lovely people...! The room was basic but ok, not much outside noise but the room above is was a bit noisy and in the early morning there was a dripping sound outside the room that woke us up... The Food was fantastic and there was plenty of it, the drinks were fab and it was a lovely evening meal... Breakfast was great value and cooked well... Would recommend booking a table as it was a busy...

Room was very clean, evening meal lovely, friendly staff. Continental breakfast absolutely fine, really nice coffee

4 of us visited 18.02.24 at 6.45pm to try out the much advertised new menu. We were very disapointed to find only 1 meal from the grill option was available. This is not the first time the menu at this venue was short of many of its meals. I find this extremely disappointing and not what a customer should expect. I will not be going back. Service is poor also and staff didn’t care at all. Slow service.

Had a fantastic overnight stay. The hotel exceeded our expectations. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and is mobility scooter friendly. The staff were all outstanding and the meals served were without fault.

We stayed overnight and had a pub meal , the hotel was excellent basic but clean and comfortable and quiet The pub was excellent the food and service was good we had an evening meal , breakfast and lunch One bonus if you have and electric car there are plenty of charging points We will definitely stay there again

I had Scampi, chips and peas, plenty of scampi, good variety of drinks and nice lunchtime atmosphere. Waitress polite and double checked our orders including a nut allergy, she was very attentive.

Very comfortable room, generous toiletries & towels, comfy beds & pillows, friendly staff. Even decaf coffee & herbal tea options in the room. Better than premier inn at less than half the price!

We travelled down and stayed the night, had an evening meal, in the morning had the breakfast and was served by a very very nice well experienced lady called Julie. We will be back again soon many thanks Shaun & Mel.

Absolutely awful. We wanted a nice meal for 4 people for New Years, and thought the paisley pear in Brackley would be a good choice. The menu looked great, however, the food was far from it. We ordered king prawns for 2 peoples starter. These were NOT king prawns at all. It seemed like a joke and someone would appear with the king prawns but sadly not. Considering we consider ourselves as people who love our food. Not one person completed there plates. We then asked for the bill and surprised to see that we had been charged a surprise charge of £40 which when asked, was for the disco. Which again was absolutely awful. My mum who wanted asked for a fruity wine was sold a rose with some lemonade for £9.85!!! that was more expensive then anything else. We were left very very disappointed and sad that we felt we had been completely robbed. We will not be coming back and we will ensure we let people know to avoid this place in future.

Very friendly staff gave us a very warm welcome. Order taken very efficiently. Food arrived in an acceptable time and was of good quality. Now we know it is there we will return.

Excellent friendly Service and Great Food. We called here for a late lunch after a morning shopping. Some of the friendliest, most helpful staff I have ever met in any restaurant setting, regardless of budget. The food was great too. We were all very impressed and will be back. Thank you.

Excellent food and value for money I made a mistake with my order it was put right no problem, couldn't have been more helpful despite being busy.

The Paisley Pear bar and restaurant is adjacent to their hotel. This is a fairly new hotel and restaurant. The venue is conveniently situated on the A43 North Brackley near the BP garage. Also on the site is a Costa and a medium sized Sainsbury. As a local my friends and I regularly go to this restaurant and enjoy a good quality meal at a fair price. There is a good sized car park with electric charging points. The restaurant is fairly popular and it is advisable to book. It is simple to book the restaurant on their web site. On this occasion my partner and I went to the restaurant for a quiet meal. We were met by Caroline, our waitress, who was polite and efficient. We were seated at the far end of the restaurant on a quiet table as requested. The menu is extensive. We both chose steak which was cooked well. This is our first choice restaurant in this area and is well worth a visit.

Visited on a wednesday evening at the end of September.Service was friendly and were got our food quickly. Food was very good and I will be visiting again

Part of a large chain , but with faultless breakfast. Upon arriving was shown a table and everything explained to me crystal ,being a hungry bugger ordered the full works , whilst waiting jumped into the freshly baked pastries , perhaps too much , my works breakfast arrived prompt , and everything cooked fresh , crispy bacon ( unlike that uncooked rind you find sometimes in other chains) which puts me right off tbh , black pudding sausages hash browns , it were right busy , but nowt was too much bother, jugs of fresh orange and apple juice available, I couldn't fault the breakfast nor the service, as I could only see 3 staff of duty, cracking value for your money anyway of the week

Absolutely lovely. Food was great. Service was a delight. All in all it’s back to being a great place to dine. Really pleased with my food and the quantity of it.

Booked as staying at the accommodation. Very friendly staff. Starters (koftas and arancini) very good, mains average and desserts poor. Reasonable value for money. Good service from Jo.

Had a great time many thanks to Caroline and Hayley for making us feel so welcoming. Both couldn't do enough for us.

Once again we were greeted by the amazing Caroline. If you get her as your server you know you will get the best ever service. Food was amazing today. Arrived quickly and presented fabulously. Deserts were fab love the brownie sundae. Thank you for a...

We were welcomed in by Caroline it was lovely she recognised us from our last visit. The pace of the order was just perfect. Drinks ordered and brought to table at pace. Caroline was very efficient at taking order, repeating it back, ensuring she got...

This is our go-to place for 3 reasons - close to home, GREAT food, and an amazing lady that so looks after us (and everyone else we see her serving, so we are not singled out!), and that AMAZING lady is Caroline!

Great veggetarian options loved by my wife and daughters plus good size portions that satisfied both me and my son! Lovely staff, quick friendly service.

We have been here many times and will definitely come again and recommend to others. The food is always very good quality. Its a home cooked roast dinner and very worth it for the money paid. The staff are always friendly and attentive. We love...

Great food, great service as usual. Thank you. Caroline was really helpful and lovely. Would recommend the trio of roasts. Was fantastic!

Great location for Silverstone track event that we were at. Stopped one night, room was fine, Travelodge type, just not quite to my standard on cleaning (bathroom bin was minging) and PLEASE, PLEASE invest in some shower screens , shower curtains are disgusting and should...

Went here today with my 2 children and girlfriend. Before arriving I had a look at the menu at home and decided what I was having already. When we were seated we were told there was no mix grill. Yes you guessed it that’s what...

Impromptu decision to go for dinner, we were served by the ever delightful Caroline and as always food and service good. We hadn’t booked but was shown to a table in a reasonable time

Fantastic value and super friendly service, Caroline deserves more than just a mention she always goes out of her way to make sure everything is perfect - great service and delicious food

We had a family meal for 10 booked in, the food was really good and we didn't have to wait long in-between courses. The lady that looked after our table was called Caroline, she was absolutely amazing. Caroline was funny, kind and looked after us...

Great Sunday roast definitely recommend and will be using again. Oh and this visit wasn’t our first it’s a local eats for us.

Four of us cannot all be wrong. We agreed that the plates were cold along with the Yorkshire pudding. Overcooked beef and vegetables. waiter did not take any notice when he asked us "how was your food"

On route to south coast and needed a "wee" stop and lunch. We were given a table on arrival. Sadly it was near a very loud birthday party and opposite the WCs. Seating was comfortable. Menu provides a wide variety of choices at a reasonable...

Excellent Service on a VERY BUSY Friday night! Everyone worked really hard to make us feel welcome and comfortable

Made an impromtu booking here as the hotel we were staying at close by was fully booked for dinner, so glad we did. Even though it was a Saturday night we were able to get a table for a suitable time. A nice welcome and...

Very impressed with service, ambience, food and price. The staff gave us a quiet table, as requested, and took our order promptly. We had the Sunday lunch and our only complaint was the vast quantity of food. My husband had 3 meats (beef, turkey and...

Very nice rooms in a separate building from the pub. Very comfortable hypnos bed . This was my second stay here and both times I’ve had no drama. The staff are fantastic. Especially the chap who was covering breakfast and help find my lost receipt....

We stayed here on an overnight stopover. Very easy to find. Booked in for an evening meal and there was only one item not available on menu. Which to be fair is good as we've been to places where on a sunny day has had...

Served by Jay, lovely young lad. Food great as always, never had a bad meal here. Very resonable prices. Bar side to the left as you walk in, where you are allowed to take dogs in. Can get busy so pre book table if possible.

Really pleased with the service and the food was served by Jay who was very helpful and polite I had the mixed grill which was great value for money was very busy but wasn't kept waiting

Was fairly quiet when we arrived. Had their gammon which was excellent. Had a novice serving our table and he was very obliging. Good value for money. Will definitely be back again.

Had a lovely meal with friends, would highly recommend. Great service from Caroline who looked after us all evening. we will be back for the Kofta's

Absolutely great. They couldn't have done more for us on a family Easter weekend. Good food, great service and drinks. Friendly staff without exception.

1 I would write 0 if that was an option!! Have sat in the bar area with a child and the language from the kitchen staff is disgraceful 😔 the f word extremely loudly has been used on couple of occasions so that the whole...

We had a great meal here on mothers day, so glad we booked as the place was rammed! We had the set menu and thought the food was really good.

Waitress not friendly. Ordered a ribeye, arrived not cooked as specified, then returned, arrived again and it was like Donkey, chewy is an understatement. Advise do have steaks !!

Nice restaurant it’s clean. We sat near the toilets and it was freezing. I had to actual ask if we could order our meals. No one came back to ask us if we were ready to order. Food is nice not very much choice for...

Visited for the first time for a family birthday. Pub is clean, fresh and has great decor. Service was excellent and the lady who served us was exceptional. Sadly the food was a little disappointing. We appreciate that costs are rising and that prices need...

A relaxed, beautifully furnished, clean, friendly Pub. Food is good and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and helpful. They are pleased to see you.

My partner and I first visited this pub a few months ago, the inside was clean and comfortable, we had booked a table and so sat in the restaurant side. That visit we couldn't fault, meals were not cheap (around £13-15 for a main) but...

Visited Thurs 23rd Feb. 1 real ale ran out because next barrel had not been tapped. Had just 1 pint of different ale and that ran out and again the next barrel had not been tapped. This left just 1 more ale that was horrible...

We booked in for one night and were very impressed with the size and layout of our room. Exceptionality clean, with the usual amenities. We had a couple if drinks in the bar and the staff were friendly and helpful. Then we had a meal...

Food very slow to arrive. Meal took 2 hours overall. Portions small, mostly reheated oven food. Chips too greasy to eat. Serving staff trying their best but otherwise very poor quality meal.

The customer service isn’t great anymore. Almost like the staff aren’t enjoying their job and we get to feel it. The food wasn’t impressive, over cooked salmon. Chewy halloumi, over done burger, and no one came to ask how the food was and we couldn’t...

Been a few times. Waitress with black and white jumper was lovely. And very attentive. Food- normally really good but this time portions were considerably smaller and stone cold. I questioned my potatoes because last time there was a plate full this time- 3 halves...

We came for lunch to celebrate my sons 18th birthday. We arrived and hadn't booked but was seated straight away. The place is lovely very clean and the bar area is decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. We were served by the lovely Michelle . Food...

Lovely food by the fire and dog friendly bar great 👍really enjoyed the buttermilk burger and had a hot choc.

Went for an early evening meal with a friend. Waited to be seated. Waited for drinks. Waited for food. Quality of food was good when it arrived, minus one of the orders. This place could be getting better reviews if there were an adequate number...

Had a lovely lunch at the Paisley Pear. Good menu, reasonable prices excellent service from our waitress Michele

As it was half term & didn’t know how busy it would be so booked on line which was easy to do. It was busy but we were shown to a table & soon got some drinks. Plenty of variety for peoples tastes. I had...

Stayed here whilst working away and was really happy with it, great location and pubs next door was spot on for what I needed

I thought this place had improved after reading recent reviews, but not on the day we visited. We waited at least 10 minutes before our drinks order was taken, another 10 minutes before the drinks arrived, then another 15 minutes before our food order was...

We meet friends in the Brackley area a couple of times a year. Today our usual meeting place let us down but recommended Paisley Pear. Their loss was our gain. The Pear is a very good venue for meet ups. Everything is clean and fresh...

Visited so many times before and it has been hit and miss but booked a table for family up from Kent after a long day out. Issues started with the starters and drinks, got 3 of one when only ordered 2, no jugs of water...

Lovely place and food was so good. So nice to visit a pub/restaurant today where you feel welcome and that you matter to the staff. So welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. Must mention the ladies toilets; so clean and very nice,...

Very busy today being first day of summer hols. Greeted politely and seated very quickly considering number of tables available. Drinks served quickly and food order taken and served within 20 minutes. Looked after very well by cheerful and helpful server. Would definitely recommend.

We have been here a few time now amazing value and Caroline who served us always happy and willing to go the extra mile. Very welcoming.

We have eaten in the restaurant, where there is plenty of room between the tables. At the bar, if we have the dog who are very well catered for with water and treats. There is always a friendly welcome and a laugh, especially Caroline. The...

Popped in for dinner tonight with hubby and mother-in-law. There is always a friendly welcome and a giggle waiting - especially Caroline! This is now the 4th time we’ve been down having popped in on a dog walk a few weeks ago and discovering it’s...

I brought my mother in law and 6 year old son here for the first time and have no regrets! It was early in the lunch hour and we were the only ones there to start. We asked for a seat next to the open...

We had never been to the Paisley Pear and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I liked how the interior is split into sections of 3-4 tables as that gave a more cosy feel than being in one large room, and it probably helped to...

A very enjoyable meal last night. Thank you. Our table request was respected, service was great and both food and drinks were spot on. We're fairly regular customers and will continue to be so ! Keep it up.

Chicken was like eating a table with bbq sauce on the service was good and was offered a refund the only reason I have left a 5 star review is because of the company I was with please cook the chicken less next time it...

good friday we had a fantastic meal for four and we all had hot food and the servis was excellent we really enjoyed the paisley pear at brackley and it was 32miles away from my home and i would drive there again anytime for a...

Not very good at all!! The outside area is filthy, with cigarette butts everywhere, carrier bags, general rubbish. The dinner we ordered was left on a dirty table and not brought to us, next to a full ashtray. Not a nice visit.

This was my first visit to the Paisley Pear, unfortunately half the menu items were unavailable due to stock shortages & a busy Mother's Day the day before. We ordered from the lunchtime set menu. For starters my friend had creamy garlic mushrooms and I...

My family, friends and I have been using this restaurant since it opened. i previously reviewed this restaurant last year and it is still very good. The food is consistently good. I particularly like the chicken. The portions are a good size and the menu...

A warm welcome from all staff, very comfy bed , nice size room , very clean, quite as hotel building away from restaurant and pub, food great both breakfast and dinner, thank you for a great stay we will be back .

We had beef and pork and both meats were cooked very nicely. The vegetables and potatoes were cooked well, too. Our server was Caroline, who was very pleasant and service was quick and efficient. The reason it doesn't warrant 5 is that we booked via...

My family and I have been visiting the Pear for about 4 years now. Great variety of beers, craft and ciders. Food is great and an amazing outside space for the kids and when we get some sun. But the best I must honestly say...

A bit challenged in getting the wine right, but good and good value food with friendly and willing service

Return visit and just as good. The food was lovely. Lots of choice and well cooked. Everywhere was clean and tidy. The staff were absolutely lovely. We had a lot of news to catch up on and they didn't hurry us, thank you ladies. We...

Had an off the cuff overnight stay. Travelling from the Northwest back to East kent to break the journey up due to recent back surgery on my wife. The place is so nice, amazing polite and efficient friendly team who all worked together well. The...

Was very impressed with the cleanliness! Toilets and dining areas were spotless. I’ve seen Lucie hard at work - so wanted to thank her and the team for their hard work.

Our local for family meals, lovely food as always. Caroline always knows our food and drink order and serves with with a smile every time without fail. Lauren

Lovely meal and plenty of menu choices. Grace, our server was great and got us everything we needed with a smile. Would recommend.

I had been wanting to check this place out since it opened and today was the day regardless of the mixed reviews. I booked a table for 7 (The booking was super easy). We arrived and were impressed by the openness and cleanliness of the...

Excellent food and the waitress Caroline was very helpful and friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. The food was exceptional

My wife and I have stayed several times in the hotel, the rooms are simple but stylish, impeccably clean, very comfortable bed and very quiet each time we have stayed. We would certainly recommend the hotel and restaurant. The restaurant serves excellent meals, very friendly...

We go here often and never have a problem. Foods good, quick service and good staff... especially Caz and Nath, keep those smiles guys xx

Excellent hosting and service from Catherine very helpful with meeting our requests Good value for money excellent menu lots of choice Clean and well organised

I've visited the pub many times since it opened and never had a bad meal. In the past, some parts of the meal (such as chips) haven't been as hot as they should be. But recently this has definitely improved. The last few times of...

Stayed at the Paisley Pear Hotel for 3 nights. Hotel was lovely and clean. Comfortable beds. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Breakfasts were very nice and good selection. Had one evening meal in the restaurant which was very unpleasant, most of the meals were microwaved...

First time we’ve ever had Christmas lunch out. Food was well cooked and presented so we were not disappointed. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Only concern was that not all the waiters were wearing masks

No one greeted us at the door. Barman was friendly but lady who showed us to the table didn’t acknowledge us whatsoever. Waiter was completely ambivalent. Addition waitress was rude to waiter and simply unprofessional to customers. Standard of service was pretty abysmal. Food was...

Absolutely outrageous. To have to clear a table in order to sit down and have a drink. Loads of staff yet no one actually working. Very poor!!

Party of 11 for Sunday lunch, 1 Gluten free, excellent service and knowledge of allergens. Staff lovely, welcoming and friendly, Food excellent, wonderful experience.

Lovely new spacious pub and the staff were friendly and service was good. However our food was barely warm not well presented and not as described ( no coleslaw). Jacket potato had clearly been reheated and was not nice. This will be our local so...

First visit here for an evening on a busy Friday with a bar area table as the restaurant was booked. Struck by the warm welcome and then the clean, spacious and well maintained bar eating area. Service was prompt, accurate and efficient for a steak...

We visited for the first time, and glad we did! From the moment we arrived we were looked after by Hannah.food ordered and served by Louisa. Hot, well cooked and presented….. and value for your money. Both Hannah and Louisa had a fabulous rapport with...

A first to be given 2 menus. Unavailable food (most of the menu) and available food which was tasteless and poor. Top tip: When offered constructive feedback, dont take out your frustration on the customer if you have had a bad day. Shame on you...
