Went for a quiet drink with my brother very good service and friendly staff. Found the place a bit too quiet for a Saturday night but it suited us

Brilliant pub located just around the corner from the airport hotels so a great spot to escape to. Very reasonably priced ales, clean area and friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend dropping in.

No food currently however I like it as it's a much quieter pub than some in the area and there's plenty of seating areas and parking outside. The pub is almost parallel with Inspire Gym and close to Stopsley village with stores and connections close by should you need transport or a stop at a store to pickup takeaway or food in general. Gregg's is also close by at Jansel House. I would definitely stop here again for a drink and catch-up like I did on this stop off. The ladies inside are very nice and give a good service. TV screens around but not all were on in this occasion.

Highly recommend this pub. Staff are friendly and helpful. Evelyn, the manager, was great when we went to organise a funeral reception. She made the process easy. And on the day it went smoothly and the buffet was excellent. Thank you

Pleasantly surprised. My local which I hadn't used before that was made to feel welcome by some excellent friendly staff and good beer. Will definitely be paying more visits soon. UPDATE The new landlady is awesome and is working hard to make this a family boozer. Great work 👍🏻 Apparently they will be getting an outside refresh and the name might be changing too?

I visited the pubs reopening recently. It’s been renovated with new owners and management. Great atmosphere with a lovely beer garden. Family friendly vibes and great selection of drinks at a good price. The pub looks fresh and has a lot parking out front. I enjoyed playing pool and darts, and was served with a big smile. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely pub relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming bar staff. It was nice to see fully stocked fridges with a good selection of chilled ciders and lagers. Huge choice of spirits and beers. Sat in the garden, which, might I add was very clean - bar staff came out to clear empty glasses regularly. Food is fresh, made on the premises - very tasty burgers. They have had a birthday party and several wakes held there, always handy to know. In general the pub was very clean, and tidy, including the toilets!!!!!

Local pub that appears to have just reopened with a new bar manager. He seems to be a really friendly guy so hopefully will have a long and prosperous stay. The beers are mainly Heineken owned but do have a decent range including a Blade machine with Heineken 0.0. It's layed out with some tables and some smaller booths offering is a different way to split up the seating. Each of the booths has it's own flat screen TV which I thought was a brilliant idea as rather than having to just stare at the usual screen on a wall you have a choice to stay with your party or partner. There will be food in the next couple of weeks so will give them a try again after that. Post Covid the pub's owner has taken over from the management team and is trying to return it to a family local. The area is crying out for this,so good luck.

Not a bad pub with a good selection of drinks. However it seems to get very few customers possibly due to there being no food available. Also certain bar staff are clueless about the make up of some of the most basic of drinks. Can see this pub closing sooner than later when with a bit of effort it surely could be buzzing. Will wait and see.

Since its refurbishment, the pub is now a real hub of the community. With a no nonsense bar manager who has turned it back into a family orientated pub. Good for a summers evening in the garden, or to watch a game on one of the many T.V screens. Well worth a visit on passing.

Security was actually rather fast, though we were made to walk 3km through the massive zig zag queuing system, which ultimately lead to me drinking more when I got through.

Waited over 25 minutes for my child’s food, over 3 other people who were behind us in being served received their meals, whereas my 5 year old son was left crying for his food. Never coming to this branch again, and all the manager could do was say sorry. Other Nandos have had better service. Maybe have someone more experienced at managing situations. The least they could’ve done was seen there were chips on the meal to have handed that to him whilst they act on getting it done. I had to request it myself. They really are clueless and have no empathy.
