The Britannia in Northampton

We came here with my wife’s family for lunch. The food was great and Sam’s service was friendly and attentive. Fantastic!

My Mum and I went for lunch and was served by Sam, he was excellent and couldn’t do enough for us. So friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely too! Thank you Sam! We will be returning :) x

Excellent lunch in great atmosphere with good friendly service from Sam and Kayla. Super food at good price from wide ranging menu

Visited for lunch, had a great meal and excellent service! Sam was lovely and welcoming and made our visit. Will definitely return! X

Dreadful experience, service very slow, panfried chicken breast is a joke, thin slice of chicken, 3 cubes of potato and a bit of cabbage no onions as advertised, definitely not worth £11.99? Vegetable soup looked like the remains of Sunday lunch put into boiling water, chicken and bacon sandwich was hunt for the filling. Will definitely not be going back, not sure how they get away with serving these sort of meals for the price.

Great location, lovely food and great service.

Very warm and welcoming, great service from all the staff, especially Sarah ( Strawberry) and Sam.

Very nice atmosphere, good food. Highly recommended all around!

Beautiful meal, lovely pub and super friendly staff 😊

Well if you like a long wait the service seems to be for regular clients the food I would say is not good and over priced when we got there the older lady was slamming doors looking for meaus and made myself and the younger lady nervous and was rude to not even wait to slam around when a Cilent is awaiting to be seated I would advise to go to somewhere that can give you a all round service once seated took awhile for someone to take order and than the food the pie was a pre heat and broccoli tasted old please turn around and go somewhere that gives you a smile and good food and service not provided here

It's a lovely place inside, really cosy. The food was not great. Everything was very chewy and the calamari had very little flavour. The waiter also took away our starter plates and then offered us dessert which was a simple mistake but not expected given how nice it is inside.

Went here for a celebration drink and Sam was super nice and made my overall experience better, so thank you Sam!

Great atmosphere, great food and fantastic service

Nice food, good quality for money and decent staff

Excellent meal, lovely food and even better that they are dog friendly! A special mention to Mo for the brilliant service!

Just got in from a night at the Britannia. Booked the table for 5pm, such a lovely atmosphere we sat and chatted for ages. Great food, drinks variety was good too. Clare looked after us very well, checking in to see if we were okay, and leaving us in peace to catch up with each other. Would recommend to anyone, a wonderful evening. Thanks again Clare

Sam was brilliant friendly and fun, sassy blue hair rocks lovely meal highly recommended

Sam with the blue hair was an absolute pleasure to have serving myself, mum, and grandparents. Impeccable food and atmosphere!

Nice pub. The food is great and well priced. The service was a little slow. After being shown to our seats, it took about 10 minutes to place our drinks order, then another 22 minutes to place our food order. Tried the special mixed grill, which I can say was delicious Would have stayed for desert, but due to the length of time it took for the mains, I had to leave The lighting is a little poor as it was hard to read the menus

No steaks available.The pork belly I had was a small portion.Plenty of other public houses that offer better.Staff not experienced.Just kids.Felt sorry for them

Very good food but really slow to table - both courses

Visited for the first time in about 5 years and have to say the food, atmosphere and service had gone up a few levels. Alex and Sam ensured that we enjoyed every aspect of our visit and we left having enjoyed a wonderful lunch together

Really nice waterside pub, recently revamped. Food was tasty and fresh. Recommended.

This was our first time going here and omg the food is amazing, the other half has the game mixed grill, the meat just fell off the bone of the duck, i had the fish pie, it was filled with fish and tasted amazing, I'd you have room I would definitely recommend the bakewell tart, absolutely stunning, will so be going back, food and staff are amazing

Really loved this place. Our waiter and waitress were really friendly and helpful. My little boy loved talking to them.

Our first time back since the refurb and it has a lovely cosy feeling to it, booked a table online which was very easy, we were served by Sam and Alex who were great and very attentive, the food was lovely and they accommodated the kids requests for customised meals, planning to return for lunch soon,

Sam and Alex have been great! Very friendly service and checking in that the food was good for us. Great food. Thank you.

I’ve been to the Britannia a few times and it never disappoints. The pub is cosy but modern and the food is always delicious. The service is great, even with large groups. Sam and Alex did a great job at serving us.

Had a great dinner here for my mum's birthday today, Sam did a great job of looking after us and making mum smile 😊

Food was very nice and service was of a high standard.

Friendly Staff Wonderful Food Beautiful View

Truly shocking food. (See photos)the kids pasta was honestly vile. Roast was mainly fat and bone and the roast potatoes were white and undercooked as well as the parsnips. We didn't stay to eat and just sent it back. We used to come here often and the food was good so im unsure what has happen. Starter of goats cheese was nice and the kids garlic bread was nice too. Staff were friendly and helpful. ( They charge £18.99 for the roast)

Very unhappy with the food today had a fish pie which was 19 lbs. 43. It was absolutely awful will never ever recommend that place. Thank you.

Excellent service and food Sam was amazing!

We had the chefs special mixed grill. It was superb! Beautifully cooked and presented. Sam was the best waiter, so enthusiastic, happy and engaging. He's a great staff member. Thank you Sam! He was also training a member of staff and showing great people skills. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Since updating this pub. Service has got worst. The bar is all now too small for size of pub. Wait ages to be served and less selection now since revamp. Colour scheme all wrong green yuk. No Green King you got revamp all wrong yet again after the abissmal royal navy grey scheme. Gone from bad to worst. Also over hyped prices in uk pubs compared to abroad

Mo was an amazing waiter. Food was delicious and great recommendations for puddings.

Mo, Alex and Sam looked after us amazingly. Mo makes an excellent pudding! Lots of love, thanks so much x

Sam was our main waiter on a fairly late Sunday evening service... Obviously, there was a few choices by this time that the kitchen had ran out of... there was also the fact that two members of our party had nut allergies, and one had to have gluten-free (or rather non-gluten containing), least to mention the occasional picky eater. At first, the special non-gluten menu couldn't be located but Sam worked it out and managed to get a bespoke version available. There were multiple moments that Sam went the extra mile and we all couldn't be happier with his superb service and attention to detail. Thank you, Sam!

Superb customer service from Sam, nothing too much trouble - really top notch - what a star From checking our allergies and adjusting the menus for it

What a lovely evening with my family - Sam was exceptional in his client care and looking after us - really difficult group we are with many allergies and also gluten issues - Sam ensured and checked that we were all safe and went out of his way to make it excellent

Our waiter Sam was phenomenal perfect service very accommodating and went the extra mile over and over again made it a perfect night for me and my family

Lovely location, food was great and really reasonable. The service was exemplary thanks to Sam who was really attentive and friendly.

Brilliant service from Sam - really friendly and helpful.

Had a really nice lunch. Had a little wait for the food but was really nice. Our waiter Sam was so nice and friendly and would definitely come back because of him. Only down side I paid £4 for one slice of garlic bread which was a little expensive

Very friendly team serving, quite busy on a Friday evening but a lovely place to relax and eat. Sam was our guy!

Fab service from Sam and Isla, very friendly and made us feel welcome, thank you! Enjoyed the food too.

Nice pub. As many pubs, fairly short-staffed, but adequate. Had a lovely waiter serving us (left his card for writing a review that said Sam and Alex and so not sure which of them was him, but he had pinkish hair!). Yes, the order of Seabass from the Specials menu came back as the Seabass from the general menu, which tasted fine regardless, but our waiter insisted on compensating for the error by allowing us to have an ice-cream dessert on the house - which was a very kind and appreciated offer, thank you:). Have no issue with the pub and will happily return at a later date.

Service was incredibly slow, not to the fault of the servers, waiting 50 minutes for 3 deserts in a restaurant which appeared half full. Food was dry, I asked for a lamb and was told it would be medium rare but was so past well done I have seen softer leather. The bbq chicken dishes were okay but all in all I would not recommend many items at all from the menu… if they have them as several dishes were unavailable. Drinks were very average, nothing to complain about but nothing more than okay. Servers were kind although seemingly rushed and seen running round the restaurant trying to put out fires caused by the overall lack of quality the restaurant provided. Overall, incredibly slow service, poor food and wouldn’t not reccomend nor return.

Return visit for business lunch/social catch up. All fine, service great , served by Sam and Alex. Liked their approach / interaction. Will be happy to be back.

Much improved since the refit with the outdoor bar and bigger seating area. Drinks and food are about the same as before. Smoking outside seems a bit haphazard though, roaming ashtrays and you might get a whiff or two of tobacco to go with your food and drink

Our first visit for several years. We had booked a table for six and were shown to a table for five. When pointed out, we were offered a larger table but with a time limit! The food service was slow. We mostly ordered the Sunday lunch. The portions can only be described as small when compared to other offerings locally. The roast pork was sliced so thin it had air dried. The roast beef was excellent. The toffee pudding was also excellent. it would be worth going again just for the toffee pudding.

Superb experience at The Brittania. Sam looked after my family and I and provided great service and food. Recommended!!!

Really love coming here - we’re made to feel so welcome! All the staff are brilliant but a special shout out to Sam who always makes a special effort with us (& our dog!)

Amazing meal - Lamb Shank shepherds pie followed by banana Biscoff ice cream - wow ! Sam was our server and was brilliant - thank you 🥇

Beautiful food! Was pleasantly surprised. Not been before and not local so only called in on the off chance. Visited on a Wednesday lunch time, didn’t have a booking but managed to be seated straight away. Food arrived quick and it was absolutely delicious. Staff all friendly. Lovely atmosphere was busier than I expected. Lots sat outside which looked lovely!

Greatly looked after by Sam and Rebecca and superb food

The Starter, Main and Desert was delicious, The Workers were really helpful and Sam was amazing, Helpful, Polite and kind. Loved his hair! :)

First timer and loved it. Food was amazing, and so was the service. Everyone was really kind and helpful, especially Sam. Loved the hair colour too :)

Angel and sam made our family meal a pleasure, food fantastic, setting great. Excellent customer service, we really appreciated.

An great choice for a family lunch. Good choice. Good food. Excellent service.

Not a bad experience. We would come again just a few bits let them down. Pork loin was on the dry side, the waiter was very friendly but we ordered a second round of drinks and had to chase them twice. There was also quite a delay between courses. If the service was a bit more efficient the ratings would be higher.

Been to this pub a few times for meals now and each time we have received a great service with friendly staff. Last night we were served by Mo who was exceptionally charming and professional with a witty sense of humour. We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely go back soon. Improved our dining experience

Just had a lovely meal, with excellent food and service. Thanks so much to Alex for the excellent service, involving the Chef to give us exactly what we wanted. Thanks to the Chef as well (sorry didn’t get your name, but much appreciated). We’ll be back.

Came here today to grab some food and drink, the new refurb is amazing, place and the workers are very welcoming. We were served by Mo today and he was just amazing. He made sure that our food and drinks were okay, kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything. I would give 10/10 if I could. Definitely recommend!

Had a lovely evening meeting up with a good friend. The food was lovely & the service was great. We were served by Sam & he was such a friendly, professional person. He was so attentive without being intrusive & genuinely went out of his way to ensure our experience was above & beyond. It’s a shame there aren’t more people like him.

The refurb has enhanced the experience at the Britannia. Good choices on the menu and the quality is great. The service provided by Sam, as always, is excellent. He's always friendly and nothing is too much trouble. He's a real asset to the company.

Very pleasantly surprised by The Britannia. Only went there because of its proximity to the main road A45, but the service, atmosphere and food/drink were excellent. Went at a busy time with no reservation, but the manager there kindly showed me all the table they had available, including a lovely spot by the beautiful River Nene. Service was very professional and friendly. Food great (I had the signature burger), the children loved their sundae deserts. Background music was thoughtfully selected (chilled), enjoyable and not too intrusive. will definitely return when passing again.

Mo was absolutely amazing, He really dedicated his time towards us and really made us feel at home. Planning our return trip now!

Wow this place was amazing, the food was excellent and really hot, the service was absolutely fantastic and very friendly, such a welcome from all the staff, thankyou to you all especially the young guy with the blue hair, sorry didn't catch your name 👍🏿👍🏿👌🥂

Dined here this evening. Our server Sam was wonderful. Woukd most definitely eat here again.

I ordered the seabass with new potatoes and veg I took one bite of the potatoes and they were very salty. I don't like salt so make sure its not on the menu. I asked if they could change the potoeos and was told no . I asked to speak to the manager who was no help and kept calling me my love. Why oh why do you have to over salt food and not say on menu. I ended up with nothing to eat .while my friends ate there's.

Beautiful riverside outside seating very picturesque. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Quick service. Delicious food!!

Sat by the river with a drink, ordered chicken breast with new potato's off the lunchtime menu it came in good time and was absolutely delicious, will definitely return.

Visited today for a early dinner. Both my husband and myself ordered fish and chips. The chips and fish both looked dry and over cooked. I ate the fish which was quite dry but eatable. The chips were awful. Dry and re cooked so many times or sat under the lates for so long. No one came over to ask if everything was OK and when they came over to take plates they asked if we wanted to see the pudding menu. No service at all. First time we've had a bad meal here. Just very disappointed

Great food but service was rubbish

A little on the expensive side but on the whole the staff were pleasant and the food was nice

Hands down my favourite place to come for any occasion. It is so beautiful here. The staff are great, the food is lovely. There is nothing better than sitting by the river watching the boats with a pimms and a Sunday roast.

Both times I’ve been here their atmosphere, food and service was fantastic. Our waiter Mo was brilliant and I would highly recommend this pub.

I'm sitting here now, and this place is amazing. Excellent setting the service is phenomenal, and the food is tasty. I had the lamb shank, and it was good.

Hadn't been here for about 20 years but have to say the food was really good,the service was mediocre, the young lass serving didn't have much in the way of people skills. All in all a really nice place,very clean,plenty of parking & the food was really nice. Shall definitely go again.

This pub has had a refurb since I was last in, and it looks BEAUTIFUL inside and out! Great pub garden and outdoor bar, plenty of room inside with updated rustic and comforting decor. The staff and chefs are friendly, polite and helpful and the food is absolutely delicious - you MUST try the halloumi fries they are famously good from here. Mo was our server and was very friendly and helpful. I will absolutely be back here very soon.

I don't like to give restaurants 1 star reviews but this deserves it . Food is dry and not very flavourful . Broccoli was almost raw, chocolate fondant undercooked . Not really any thing on the menu. Presentation good but food doesn't live up to it

Paula welcomed us with superb customer service and seated us. Rebecca was a star with fantastic customer service. What a wonderful young woman. Will be coming back for sure.

Sam was an amazing waiter, extremely attentive & friendly. Great food & lovely decor within the pub

A lovely evening spent at the Britannia! Food and drinks were great. Sam was wonderful, very kind, polite and welcoming! Thank you.

Sam was great very attentive and pleasant

Had a lovely meal at Britannia, celebrating the night before a wedding. Sam was a wonderful waiter who took care of the party 😁

We had a lovely meal at the Britannia. Our waiter Sam was great. Very welcoming and polite.

From the moment we walked in, all the staff were super friendly, we were looked after by Sam and Ellie both who were fantastic and gave us great service. Food was great as always!

Great place to eat and meetup with friends, friendly atmosphere and fantastic staff . What a gem.

I just ordered some fried squid and this is what is brought to table. Ridiculous !

We dined at The Brit on Sunday (the indecisive table of 5!) and were served by Sam. What an absolute credit to your team. He was so friendly, patient (very patient!) and a good laugh. Just the perfect waiter really and so much so we wanted to leave him a great review. Thanks Sam.

Today my family and I, with our pooch Ruby, went to the Britannia for a meal and it was exceptional. Our servers, Sam and Mo, were super friendly and accommodating. Both were really attentive and nothing seemed like too much trouble. Thank you for the wonderful service 😊 The food arrived piping hot on warm plates and the portions on the Sunday Roast were incredible. Also, the Fish and Chips was delicious as well. Additionally, the puddings were really nice! I would recommend the mini pudding of the chocolate fudge brownie with a warm drink ☺️ Overall, we were delighted with the service and will definitely be returning!

Booked last minute 28th July 2024 Roast Dinner was fantastic as for the excellent service by Sam the waitor from starter to main and dessert. Excellent Service with a smile with great customer services definitely come her again. Thankyou Marg

Great service by Sam and Ellie 😀

Sam was great, he delivered excellent customer service but he was let down by the kitchen. Food took a long time to arrive and the sides didn’t arrive until sometime after the mains.

Recently refurbished , really beautiful location of weather is good . Good food and service . Large carpark you need to register for.

Great, friendly service from Ellie & Sam. Food was very nice and served in a timely fashion.

Dog friendly, polite staff great food!
