The Abington in Northampton

Popped in for dinner,and the food was amazing,definitely worth the value for money,I ordered a all day breakfast and it was huge with a nice bloomer slice on the side,the staff were helpful and polite aswell.

called in for lunch with family food was very good service was very quick staff were great good service we all enjoyed our visit good selection of drinks would definitely return

Great pub, we come often and there’s always such lovely welcoming staff. The food is great and reasonably priced too. The lack of parking available is the only negative. Highly recommend :)

We had a lovely experience at this lovely pub, opposite one of the nicest parks in Northampton so sits well within the location. We were greeted by a very hospitable young lady named Megan, she truly seemed to be interested in how our day was going and couldn't do enough for us...she found us a table (it was the day of the England game and fathers day) and made sure we were made to feel truly welcome . We will most certainly return and will make sure everyone knows of such a lovely pub and staff that work there.

On a visit to Northampton we visited the Abington to get something to eat before heading home. We hadn’t booked and the young lady Megan was so polite and funny, she accommodated us and had us seated in no time. The food was ordered and came in no time. A great slap up meal for the family and at a very reasonable price. Thank you Megan, thank you Abington.

Got a very kind welcome when me and my family arrived and place was busy as well got served very quickly and food was brilliant and cooked my chef kieran

The Abington is a pub that always has a warm welcome feel about it. The food is good & very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly. Megan in particular is ready to go the extra mile with great customer service.

Had a great fun early evening meal. Food was delicious and even though a busy time staff member kieran was all hands on deck and came out to deliver the food personally with a smile. Saved us waiting and had great hot meals. Best chips around! He Served with a sense of humour and made our day.

Not vegan friendly. Bad choice of non alcohol drinks. Rude shift manager. As not a regular visitor I was asked in a rude manner Where are you going did I not read the sign to wait to be seated. I did not see the sign but I had taken 2 steps from a point where there no staff

Rude staff. Waited the the door to be seated after booking a table. A young man met us at the door and within seconds another woman shouted over that we need our masks on. I was wearing my exemption card around my neck very clear to see. I found it to be very rude, then young man was so apologetic about it but I just don’t think there is any need to be shouting across the restaurant like that. A little while later another man joined our party. After waiting over 7 minuets at the door to be seated while the staff were sat down watching the football I called him over to us where again the staff were rude and shouted that he should be wearing a mask to be seated. Well if I wasn’t waiting that long for him to be seated I wouldn’t have to get him myself. You need to sort out your customer service instead of sitting down watching tv or hugging and kissing what seems to be your boyfriend while on shift...

Had gammon, egg and chips. Absolutely amazing! Other half had steak and ale pie. Apparently equally good. Cannot fault this for the price. Outstanding!!

Popped in for just a drink to discuss houses in the area. Decided to grab a bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The menu is quite extensive but caters for all.Staff were great and service good.Would definitely recommend for a drop in.

At £8 and with generous portions the Sunday roast is great value. The plate included meat, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing ball, carrots, peas, broccoli, mash, and roast potatoes. The broccoli was overcooked and the peas very pale, nevertheless, peas and carrots still had some bite to them. The roast potatoes were slightly crispy but not the best I have had. Mash was buttery and smooth. Stuffing very dense and over done.The roast beef was cooked well but resembled the minute steak type affairs rather than hand carved. The fat had been rendered well. Main issues are that gravy is poured on before brought out rather than in a separate jug. As a paying customer eating "pub grub" I should be able to choose how much and where I want my gravy. For my tastes the gravy was thinner than I would usually have. Tables are cleaned regularly. The cutlery needs examining though. This is my second visit and both times I have found the knife to be somewhat on the dull side. On the whole I would have the Sunday roast again.

Great pub, decent prices and a good menu on offer but........ there Isa very strong toilet smell throughout the bar area, thankfully nice weather so can eat outside, but would put me off eating in

9 of us andcthen family dog went along today for my mum's birthday. Water and doggy biscuits are available on arrival for the dog. Great service as always and for 9 of us it was really good value for money. We all had some thing different but they managed to bring it all out together Simon and his team are very friendly nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended and we can't wait to visit again .

This just isn't a great review to give,but i need to up date the near 10/10 that was given before .

4 of us and the doggy attended for mothers day Celebrations . 3 courses for £13.99. The service was first class and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic and we left happy and full. Thank you so much Simon and his team. We will be back very soon

I could walk to this pub but I haven't been in for some time, so I was pleasantly surprised with it. It has an open plan bar with lots of room, enough space to get a wheelchair between the tables and chairs and wheelchair access from the Wellingborough Road.It is just across the road from Abington Park, Bandstand entrance so good to call into from the park.The food was delicious and reasonably priced. They do lots of deals and various menu's for the two Mains for £10.99 and Seniors meals two courses for £5.49. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would certainly visit again.

Visited this pub when visiting family, food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely would visit again

Went to the abington for a drink and some food with a friend. I dont often go to pubs but am do glad that I went into this one. One of the staff "Danny brown" was fabulous he was so attentive and friendly and genuinely looked like he was happy with his job and wanted to make sure that everyone had a nice time. A real asset to anyone who he works for. Well done Danny I will be back lol

Sunday lunch tasted like boil in the bag. Didn't even eat a third of it and no staff asked us why. Just left out full plates on the table

Very busy pub full of families and friends on a Friday night eating and drinking. A bottle of fizz for £9.99 so can't go wrong

Went for a few beers with friends. Disappointed with the fact that they only accept cash and there's no cashpoint onsite. It's fairly pricey for an average pub, some pints being £5.

Staff pleasant but service very slow. Needed more staff on as two big Christmas lunches were taking place.

The Abingdon was only a few doors from our B&B;, so just what we needed after a busy day. Good scampi & chips. We recommend the Yellow Tail Shiraz!

Great pub, situated near Abington Park. Very good value food and a wide choice on the 2 for menu. A great place to go for a meal after a nice walk around the park. Dogs welcome, and a good selection of beers & wine.

We took our friends, visiting from Portsmouth, for Sunday Lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good, there was a Sunday Roast, or a selection from the Main Menu available. The pub was clean, the service was excellent even though it was busy.

Turned up at about 2pm with 3 adults and 4 to have a family lunch. Not many staff on duty but good food and friendly service.

Had a family meal at this pub, food was good and averagedly priced, but had to chase missing items, such as sauces and onion rings missing.

Food was OK, couple of problems but the complaints were not taken well by the serving staff. Really bad service and bad attitude of waitress/bar staff.

He visitado el pub abington para comer y ver el extraño juego de deportes en muchas ocasiones, fue siempre un ambiente agradable, con personal servicial, la comida es típicamente British Pub Grub (pescado y patatas fritas, todo el día el desayuno, carne, etc.) y es como uno esperaría, barato y sencillo pero sabroso. Los precios de la cerveza, aunque no es el más barato en esta zona de la ciudad son muy competitivos y debo decir honestamente que en todas las veces que pasé en este pub que sólo he tenido una mala pinta una vez y fue reemplazado tan pronto como fue comprado a la atención del barman. Aunque el pub es un poco deficiente en la selección los ale tienen normalmente son variados y de buena calidad y el personal del bar nunca rechazar tener una muestra antes de comprar. La clientela es siempre amable y nunca había visto ningún problema o problemas en el pub hasta mi última experiencia. De hecho, debo decir que he tenido una buena experiencia en este pub cada vez que he estado en que es la razón por la que han tendido a pop en la mayoría de las veces estoy en la zona, por desgracia, ya que la reforma parece haber cambiado. No me malinterpretéis, la nueva reforma parece genial y ha dado un ascensor muy necesario y ambiente más selecto. Fui con mi hijo el sábado el 27 de mayo para ver la final de la Copa FA, siendo este uno de los pocos bares que a mí y a mi hijo de ver fútbol por la mencionada entorno, ¡estaba muy equivocado. Desde el momento en que entramos en el ambiente era hostil para decir lo menos. Parece que hay un nuevo apoyo a base ventilador que han tomado sobre el Chelsea el pub y parece que han dado rienda suelta a hacerlo por la administración. Era como algo de una de estas películas normalmente protagonizado por Danny Dyer yobbo. Había en nosotros siendo apio vieron apedreados y horrorosas entonar temas abhorent. Decidimos irnos porque había una desagradable contracorriente en el ambiente que me hizo sentir muy incómodo. Nos verablly abusado por varios ventiladores de Chelsea, y dijo en términos inequívocos el Abington es ahora un pub de Chelsea y no eran bienvenidos. Habiendo observado en sus partidos de fútbol antes de que yo nunca he experimentado este comportamiento en el pub o en cualquier pub que tienen desde el 1980. Tengo que hacer la pregunta de por qué se ha tomado un pequeño pub en Northampton por un grupo de hooligans que apoyan un equipo de fútbol que juegue 50 millas por la carretera, creo que están en su quizás sólo para causar molestia y malestar. Yo sugeriría el pub sustituir la familia con un aviso escrito fuera dirigir personas si vas en el día de partido y no es un fan del chelsea le amenazó e hizo inoportuna, o quizás simplemente aconsejar a sus camareros para no permitir este tipo de comportamiento.

Greene king necesita una enhorabuena por esta reforma £250 k. El interior es luminoso y tiene un aspecto increíble. La sala de deportes es una fantástica adición. Hemos estado en tres veces desde su reapertura y nunca he fallado en la calidad de la comida y el servicio, es un gran lugar para comer. Sigan con el buen trabajo y nos veremos pronto!

He visitado el Abington con mi pareja y otros miembros de la familia, un par de veces durante el fin de semana siguiente una enorme reforma para el pub y qué diferencia tiene preparados! El Abington ha sido mi normal para un par de años y, como siempre, era acogedor y cómodo, pero ahora mucho más moderno y atractivo sin perder algunas de las características. La nueva zona de snug es fantástico y Mi cosa preferida es las fotos históricas de Northampton diseminados por todo el pub, pasamos mucho tiempo mirando a través de ellos!

Qué diferencia, nuevo bar de deportes, niños con nuevo jardín vigilado y entrada de movilidad reducida. Gran nueva acogedora. Un montón de espacio para beber vertical e incluso más espacio para los comensales o relajarse y disfrutar. Comida siempre caliente, fresco y de buen aspecto.

La cosa es que esta zona necesita es otra inofensiva genérico pub? Ahora que ha sido hecho, se siente como el elefante blanco y el condado. Tiene una clara falta de personalidad, nada que me hace son atraídas a él.

Reservamos para comer el domingo. Nos sentaron al lado de la ventana. Después de 10 minutos, que se convirtió en el fútbol en un televisor con altavoces adicionales por encima de nuestras cabezas! Pedí que nos cambiaran, y encontramos un nuevo mesa y dijeron que el personal del bar. Cuando la comida llegó, la señora dijo "que podría haber dicho que habían movido! ". La comida era normal, pero que está bien. No iremos de nuevo.

Very reasonable prices, meals were lovely and fresh! Great place to come when you can't be bothered to do your own cooking! Enjoyed the spritzers too! Thank you and Happy New Year to the staff!!

Este pub está cerca de Abington Park. Muy alegre y servicial. Programas de tv deportes. Asientos al aire libre. Amplio menú de comida a un precio muy razonable.

Nice pub easy-going customers feel quite safe always friendly people in this pub food nice too right next to Abbington Park area is nice

Food is always lovely, fresh and plenty! One of the best pubs for food in Northampton! Staff polite, Good choice of cocktails and comfortable seating.

Visited this restaurant midweek so it wasn't very busy. Service was good. I had scampi & chips which was really good albeit quite a small portion but guess you can't expect a lot for £6. Another member of our party had an all day breakfast which was quite substantial and he enjoyed it.

The Abington is over 100 years old, it is directly opposite Abington Park on the Wellingborough road.Average priced pints around £3.80 for a draught pint of lager. A large paved seated area to the side, and hey provide dog bowls and a tap for those who wish to sit outside with their dogs. A large menu with deals Mon-Weds... Even outside of those days, the food is very reasonably priced.My partner had a tune and cheese melt baguette, which came with a small salad, additional chips (£1.75), and a decent sized coleslaw (99p)... I'm usually fussy about coleslaw and it tasted homemade and went down well.I went for a (£9.99) Big Daddy Burger, including 2 beef burgers which came with cheese, 4 smoked pieces of bacon, topped with bbq pulled pork and 4 onion rings on top.It also came with a small pot of Coleslaw, Crispy Jalapeños (about 6 small penny sized tasters which were deep fried and very nice with a little kick), and a pot of 'spicy potato wedges'.... The ones that I had weren't spiced, and to be honest what I was served looked 10 times better than the pic on the menu of shop bought wedges which was what I was expecting, I was served with chip type rustic cut potatoes, deep fried, some slightly over, some normal.... And I'm thankful, the meal, for a tenner, was absolutely AMAZING. The staff were very nice, a very clean pub, friendly locals (us being two of them only living down the road), umbrellas for outside in the sun, a pool table, cheap drinks... Well worth a visit. A solid 8/10.

Very good meal.We came here for a birthday meal. Only marred when one of the party asked the young lady who was bringing out meals and clearing up, about ordering deserts and she said it was too late -it was well before 9pm. The meal deals are quite good here

Chose The Abington pub for the menu as two of us are vegetarians. The pub is large and was not busy when we visited. Meals arrived promptly well cooked and very filling. Staff were fine and checked we enjoyed our meal. Pub was clean with traditional Victorian decoration, We thought it was very good value for money and we are looking forward to going for another meal soon.

Won't give me boiled water to fill a baby's bottle. Never had this problem at a pub before. Their goats cheese tarts was cold and gives you farts like you wouldn't believe! Management are rude and patronising. Expensive prices of £4 odd a pint (50p card transaction on top!). If you are looking for a Northampton bar, head to 'The Black Prince' where you can get a decent pint for £2.

Had Sunday roast lunch which was very good value in good clean surroundings,all 6 in our party were pleased

very dated decor. staff were quite rude and unwelcoming.. food undercooked me and my friend both left them. I'm not a fussy person but there's standards and this place was just not good

I can give this place 5 stars within the category of the headline above. The smelliness that another reviewer complained about is exactly what any traditional British pub used to have due to spilled beer on carpet floor. It's part of the culture. We now have an oversupply of modernised pubs in Northampton, some of them are annoying with their high prices for expensive sounding lagers from Italy and ridiculously expensive food which is served by cheap students who are overloaded with the task. Suddenly "The Abington" has become a great choice: decent pub food at affordable prices, a wide range of beers and ales, rugby and football on the big screen. As a result you have young and old, poor and wealthy in one public room, like in the good old days.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, pub lovely and clean, food and service was excellent. Would recommend to all.

I often go to the Abingdon as the staff are always friendly and nice surroundings. The food recently has gone down hill. The last two times I've not been happy with my lunch. The chicken melt had hardly any cheese. The fish finger wrap I ordered had the worst fish fingers I've ever seen, they were brown inside. Fish fingers are cheap to buy even McDonald's do them better. Birds eye are £1 for 20 fish fingers, I don't understand how this establishment have the sense to serve these, let alone the buyer/management purchasing them. I wouldn't even feed my cat them! My rating is down to really nice staff, won't be eating here for a very long time!

Have visited The Abington Pub on a number of occasions and thoroughly enjoyed every visit. There is a huge beer garden / patio which is brilliant in the good weather! The pub itself dates from the turn of the century circa 1890s and is a beautifull well kept building very close to the Abington Park.

Great value for money, we often come up over the weekend for a meal and a few drinks, they have recently changed their chef and it certainly shows as the quality of the food is so much better than six months ago! The staff are all lovely and make you feel welcome! Great pub and great food!

Another lovely meal .burgers excellent and service friendly and welcomingKaraoke made the eveningWill definately be returning

It is only a pub with food service. It is smelly and the waiter is not so friendly. I dont recommend.

Nice pub lunch, but not much atmosphere, staff good but food average.medium choice but only small bar menues.

Came here for lunch today, the pub itself is quite dated. The menu was cheap and seemed like a good place for lunch. Unfortunately my burger was raw and when I asked about it the employee said it was meant to look like that. Will not be going back.

We ate here for Sunday lunch and we chose the beef, we were given two very small slices of beef, which were chewy and tasteless, one soggy Yorkshire pudding, two roast potatoes, also tasteless and some brocoli and cabbage. There was not one good thing about the meal the cooking was just terrible. My son ordered the treacle sponge and when it came it was so hot it burnt my finger when I check its temperature, literally scolded it. The chap next to us had the all day breakfast and left half of it on the plate- you only leave a cooked breakfast if it's terrible. A bad day for the Abington? I will not be going back until the ownership is changed.

Visited as a family of five, meals came out quickly and were well presented, £32 in total with soft drinks so good value for money, also the lady that served us was efficient and pleasant, will be returning :-)

its been approx 30/40 years since i last went into this pub and not much seems to have changed, well kept beers ok food and clean,all what you want. this was a last minute visit and i can assure anyone thinking of going it is good!

My husband and I visited the Abington for a quick drink after a run round the park. The regular quiz was about to start and before we knew it, the quiz master had talked us into entering. It only costs £1 each and even if you come last, you still have a chance to win money in a game involving throwing fluffy dice - what did we have to lose? The quiz itself was brilliant (I love quizzes and this is one of the best I've done) and the quiz master was hilarious. He also played some brilliant music. We didn't do particularly well in the quiz, but our team was picked out of the hat to play the fluffy dice game. My husband managed to win this game so we went home £21 better off after a fabulous (and unexpected) evening. I'd never been to the Abington before, but I will certainly return!

i brought my family for Sunday lunch and both the food and service were very good ,my wife and myself are over 60 and we took advantage of the Diamond club free dessert,we both had a delicious Victoria sponge which was a good portion,all in all a very good meal.

Myself and the family went to The Abington for an Easter treat and we had a Sunday roast. As always the portion of food was filling and presented well on the plate.We've been so many times to The Abington for a Sunday roast, it won't be the last time this year that we'll be visiting

Rubbish steak.Not enough staff.We went with groupon vouchers .Need more staffRubbish steak.Not enough staff.We went with groupon vouchers .Need more staffRubbish steak.Not enough staff.We went with groupon vouchers .Need more staff

We came in a groupon deal & I've been to the Abington before & it is a very traditional pub. Without sounding rude I expected your average pub grub which is fine but this was so much more! The food was amazing!!!! Everything we ordered was homemade & extremely delicious! The table next to us ordered a different range of mains which looked amazing to! We will definitely be back soon & have recommended! A nice surprise!!!

Poor service. Sign outside advertised food said 12.30-18.30 but don't expect to eat between half 3 and 5. Told no food until 5 returned at 5 still had no service. No apologies from bar staff when this pointed out to them and in inaccurate signage. Able to order at 5.15 but didn't bother. Might have done but felt my complaint was dealt with no interest or gravity, when I'd been messed about

Thanks to a groupon deal , my boyfriend and I went for a two course meal at the Abington.The starters were good, but the hot and spicy chicken wings are not for the faint hearted, they are very spicy :)My rump steak was probably one of the best steaks that I have had , it was tender and cooked just the way I had asked . I will definitely return for a good value meal served by pleasant staff .

me and my wife went yesterday afternoon for some food found it to be very reasonable and friendly pub food was nice just had a main course would recommend it for a quick bite.

My boyfriend and I went here on 13th feb, we had a voucher through groupon, which gave us a starter up to the value of £4.25 each and a main up to the value of £10.25 each.We had garlic mushrooms and hot and spicy chicken wings to start and steaks for our main.Both steaks were cooked to perfection, by far the best steak I have had. Excellent value for money and didn't have to wait ages for the food.The pub was clean, tidy and staff were so friendly, couldn't do enough for us. Drinks were cheap, great atmosphere, a DJ started at 8pm with karaoke which is always good haha. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be going back.

Good atmosphere the food was good particularly the starter and the desert, not the best steak I'd ever had although it was still fine nothing to complain about.

We ate here recently, the restaurant was clean and the staff very nice and attentive. The food was lovely I had the garlic mushrooms and then a rump steak which was very nice. Overall i will definitely be returning and would recommend!

Called in on a Sunday for lunch.The Abington appears to be a typical town pub with more people "drinking" than "eating". Having said that, no complaints about noise / unruly behaviour whatsoever. All very well behaved. The place was clean, service was excellent and the food we had (Sunday roast with lamb) was very nice and good value for money (£11.95 for two meals). For those who like ice cream, the sundae I had was "large" so be prepared!There are many other good value meals for two and each evening has a different theme.Only downside - no parking at the pub. You need to use the nearby streets.Would we return - Yes.

Took my family for Sunday lunch and we really enjoyed the food and the very friendly service from the staff.Tony

Nous avons découvert ce pub en se baladant et nous n avons pas été déçus. Personnel adorable et à votre écoute, ils sont très compréhensifs concernant l anglais. :-) la deco est très sympa. Nous avons très bien mangé. Les plats sont copieux, les cuissons des viandes et poissons étaient parfaites. Bonne ambiance.

A nice place to meet up for a drink after work. There is Karaoke on a Friday night but it then becomes a bit noisy if you just want to have a chat.

Myself and the family once again visited The Abington for a celebration wedding anniversary meal, and this time had the Christmas meal.I chose the turkey roast meal and I must say it was delicious and well presented on the plate. A side dish of vegetables of carrots, sprouts and cabbage accompanied the meal and this is sufficient enough.For pudding I had the traditional Christmas pudding which was served with what looked like white custard, and this was cooked and presented to perfection.The staff were very helpful.This is the second visit for meals to the Abington I as many weeks, and with quality food like this on offer I will no doubt me making more visits to this establishment in the future

Myself and the rest of the family visited The Abington for a Sunday roast and it was definitely worth paying for.I opted for a roast beef meal with all the trimmings and it was to a very high standard. The food was excellent and we were all surprised when we received our own portion of vegetables, that is placed in a small serving dish, as we though we had to share it between us.After the meal I opted for Apple pie with custard and the portion received was more than enough. The pie was very tasty and the custard was beautiful.As this was the first ever time we had visited the Abington for a meal we will definitely visit again in the near future.

The Abington ,has officially gone back on my list for a great place to have Sunday dinner.Very reasonably priced.We both had roast beef.The food was presented to a high standard,and tasted very good.The Staff where very helpful and very accomodating.With Abington park across the road and the Cricket ground 5mins away,they have a great catchment area,just keep up the good work.

Nice pub , reasonably priced drinks . £16 for 2 pints 3 cokes and a fruit shoot . £35 for 3 burger meals and a salad plus proper onion rings . All cooked well . No complaints would return happily

I'm not one of those people that gushes about another 'lasagne & chips' establishment, but this place struck the right balance. A pub with a earthy but not hostile clientele and a simple Sunday roast that was prepared to perfection. My one small criticism is that the beef was too well done for my taste, but what is that against Yorkshire puddings to die for. "How can you rave about Yorkshire puddings?" I hear you ask. Go: see: taste: they are the best I've ever had, at home or abroad.
