Expensive for nothing. Overmarketed and overadvertised. Portions are small and overpriced. Pay for what? For the view on the naked wall called "Roman corner"? After having visited Cyrpus, İstanbul etc. You think we are unedcuated fools to give you all my money for your Roman corner view? They have stolen not only the head of Saracens but the wallet of yours too

Called to book a family party for my aunts 95th birthday. As there was 30+ in the group we were given the Pickwick suite. As we were a large group we were asked to pre order and of course there were mistakes made by us which the staff picked up on and helped me get the order right. All communications with the staff before the party were efficient, professional & exceptionally helpful. - nothing was too much. This made it very easy for when we arrived on the day as we were given a single point of contact Jo - she was absolutely amazing. - even so there were a few things that we needed - an extra table for flowers, a knife for cutting the cake nothing was too much. Jo dealt with it all, always calm and unflustered They also allowed us to decorate the room - using blu-tac. Everyone commented on how good the service and food was. We’d like to thank the whole team. We had a very enjoyable day. We’re hoping to go back next year.

Would like to thank all of your staff for making my Son and his Wifes Wedding such a wonderful occasion yesterday September 30th 2024. A fantastic venue for a small and intimate wedding. The ambiance was welcoming cosy and inviting. The service and the food excellent. A great choice of menu but happy to adapt to individual dietary requests too. There was a young baby in the party and they went out of their way to cater for his needs too. Would highly recommend The Saracens Head and look forward to visiting them again in the future.

I was very early for my check in but Lucy kindly allowed me in to my room where I could continue working. She also gave me 2 vouchers for use at Greene King, one I gained 20% off my dinner in the pub. Food was great as well. I would definitely stay here again, thanks Lucy for your help.

We booked this pub restaurant for a family evening meal, as my husband was having a driving experience at Silverstone. I made a booking in advance & was called by the pub a few days before to ask if we could bring the time forward to 6.15, which we were happy to do. We arrived a few minutes early & the restaurant area was relatively quiet. We were seated at the table by the waiter & our drinks order was taken & duly arrived. We ordered starters & main course. We waited until 7pm, no food, no explanation, so my husband asked the waiter where the food was, he replied he had no idea, there was a function going on! More people came into the restaurant & were sat at tables. We waited another 15minutes & the waiter came over saying the party were only just onto their 2nd course & he couldn’t say when we would get our food, but we could have a free round of drinks! We left after over an hour, seeking food elsewhere, as did everyone else around us.

I was on the way to the work meeting. But as of school holidays had to have my children with me. We decided to stop for a quick breakfast. Breakfast was delicious however my children did not eat because of being fussy. Member of staff noticed that I keep on nagging them to eat and approached our table and did magic, she promised if they finish their plates they will have a nice surprise. Plates were empty in no time!! I thought they will get a biscuit each, but I was pleasantly surprised when they got Easter presents! We will definitely come back again! We felt very welcomed and all our questions about food were answered, and food was very delicious! Thank you Tracey and Sarah for getting my children to finish their breakfast and being so friendly to us!

Was very busy throughout pub but didn't faze staff ! We all enjoyed our meals, huge portions too. Got 20% off of food bill too as was staying there so that was a bonus. Had breakfast Sunday morning. Good choice on menu. Full English was plentiful and delicious. Young waiter on duty morning of 25th February was so nice. Really smiley and nothing too much trouble. Didn't catch his name!!

I was meeting up with a friend after many years. He had visited this restaurant in past years and we arrived for lunch. We were given a choice of tables. Menus were available on the table and we were quickly served with drinks. Time was given for us to study the food choices. There was a good range and my companion chose the steak pie and I had the Macaroni cheese. Friendly service and pleasant surroundings and good food helped to make our reunion very enjoyable. I was particularly delighted to see that the tables were sufficiently placed so that conversations could be held without feeling other diners were able to eavesdrop. We had some room. Lovely Highly recommended

Met some friends here for Sunday lunch, we hadn't been to Towcester before so were just looking for a pub in the town centre which had reasonable reviews and this seemed the best choice. The staff were absolutely lovely, couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating, however the Sunday lunch was really quite bad. I'm sure the broccoli was straight from the freezer into the microwave, the 'crackling' with the pork was one of those thin straws of crackling which you get in a packet in the supermarket. The Yorkshire pudding was so nuked that it was like a crisp, and to top it all the roast beef was just a chewy fatty mess, it was so gristly and fatty that you couldn't even cut it. The staff were very apologetic and offered a replacement for the beef, they couldn't do enough for us, so no complaints on the service or the general atmosphere, but come on Greene King, is this the best you can do for a Sunday dinner at £15/16 a head? It must be the easiest of all meals to cook, our meal was pretty much inedible. Won't be returning :(

Spent the night here with friends celebrating their 70th birthdays. First impressions are very good, lovely building and great rooms, overall we enjoyed the venue. Dinner however, left a lot to be desired. One of our friends had the pie and mash she told us the pie was lovely but the mash was cold in the middle (micro waved we suspect) But she didn't want to cause a fuss so put up with it. Another had the lasangne and it was rock hard and awful (microwaved?) , she did complain and changed it for pie and mash and was happy. My wife and myself went for fish and chips offering and they were disappointing in quality and volume, nothing to look look forward too or remember. I live 5 miles away, Towcester is my local towm and wont bother with the food offering served here again. Later that evening a male member of the bar staff appeared at 11:05 approx, wearing his coat and told us we had to leave as they were closing, we pointed out that we were hotel guests. His reply was, "well we will turn the lights off". That was it. On a Saturday night in a Hotel in a busy country town, they were closing down at 11pm ish Breakfast the following morning was a long time coming. My wife ordered the Avocado with roast pepper and a sauce. what she got was Advocado with rocket lettuce, thats it. She was too fed up with the place to make a fuss. I ordered a full English and it was nice. However it took forever to arrive. Table clearing service was very, very slow, there was also an unusual amount of noise with crashing furniture, cutlery and stuff, We noticed that one of the waitresses was the cause (the other staff were polite and quiet) She was obviously unhappy. She came up to us and rudely told us to leave (this was 11:00am) whilst picking up our dishes very noisily saying she had to get lunch service ready. There were still plenty of other people enjoying breakfast. One of our birthday hosts did write to the hotel with the purpose of informing management but frankly was palmed off with pathetic excuses which included addressing the volume of potato chips at dinner saying that we were served (as best I can recall) an industry standard 22grams. and that closing at 11pm was an industry standard and night service (which they failed to mention we registered or when we said we were guests to the staff) was available. We didn't allow any of this to spoil our gathering but all ten of us have unanimously decided that next year we wont be returning to this venue. As a local I definitely wont be coming back as Towcester has many better venues to offer. Jim

We were a large family party with three babies, driving from many points of the country - Towcester happened to be at a mid point between Kent, Rutland, Gloucester, Birmingham and Cheshire! My daughter booked us for Sunday lunch for a large get together on the one year anniversary of the passing of a loved one. The pre-arrangements and communications before we arrived were first class, including pre-ordering of starters and desserts. We were also offered "The Snug", allowing some privacy for our party. The service on the day was excellent - so friendly and accommodating. We had coffees and drinks beforehand, the food arrived all together and, most importantly, was of a high standard - personally my sirloin Sunday roast was really very good and better than I had expected (quality and volume!) We would like to thank all staff who looked after us on the day. We cannot praise them too highly and we hope their managers take note of their efforts on the day (Sunday 5 November) and the quality of service they provided.

Came in for Sunday lunch and Dave served us, food was great and he kept us laughing all the way through with his lovely welcoming demeanour, never disappoints when we visit.

Been several times over the last 12 months. Probably one breakfast was a bit lacking otherwise really good and great value. Atmosphere is 3 stars. Sometime it’s full of great people, but sometimes you get a number of pretentious people who feel they need the room to hear their opinions.

Luckily, we ordered our Sunday lunch a couple of days ago when the table was booked. It's a very popular pub for food so you need to plan ahead or you could be a little disappointed as they sell out very quickly. Food, as always, was very good staff very friendly, we will use again.

We visited with friends for a catch up and lunch and as expected it was delicious, straight into the roast pork for me and everyone else had the beef and we share d a side of cauliflower cheese, all of the food was exceptional! Tasty and great portions. Dessert was delish, one had the baked checked, one had the affogato and 2 of us had the orange filo cake, wow oh wow that was next level! Chloe looked after us amazingly and Clare was great at checking in

Lovely hotel. Staff went above and beyond. Solo room small but functional. Bathroom lovely. Bar area is just great, and staff stayed late to make sure I could eat after getting stuck in traffic.
