The Charles Bradlaugh in Northampton

Love a good roast dinner, and Rachel was brilliant, thanks for serving us! Will be going in again

I was served a southern fried burger and it was amazing, Rachel looked after us and she was great!❤️

Food here is absolutely delicious. Cooked to crispy perfection! Would recommend to anyone with a good appetite as the portions are very generous. We happened to come on a Wednesday, when it was half price in mains👌

We have an events company for single people and did our Northamptonshire launch at The Charles Bradlaugh. The upstairs space was brilliant for our first event, comfortably fitting people for drinks and mingling in the bar area. The team were great and the drinks were flowing - excellent service all around and the stage area and microphone made it easy for us to set up our events with ease. We are looking forward to hosting more singles events every month in Northampton at The Charles Bradlaugh. Rachel Allen, Solo Connects

Sunday lunch was very good. Everything was cooked well and of a high quality. Would highly recommend

Myself and a few friends wanted to try somewhere different for Sunday dinner so decided on the Charles Bradlaugh. I have to say for value for money as they aren’t cheap anymore it was the best I have had in a long long time. Will 100% go back soon. Rachel who looked after us was superb. Great work

Sunday dinner was delicious. Creamy leeks were stunning. Great portion size, also offering smaller size, perfect for kids. Staff lovely too. Would recommend

Very decent pub with plenty of space and character! They do discount on food on Wednesdays!

Had a great night at our friend's retirement party your staff were all great helpful polite and very accommodating nothing was to much such a pleasure to talk to will definitely be returning well-done tcb

Went on Sunday as a large group. Food and drink was lovely quick service too. Easy to book a table

5 Stars - Such a Cool Place! TCB is honestly amazing! The vibe is super chill and welcoming, and the music is always next-level, with incredible musicians and singers. You can really tell they bring in top talent! What’s even better is how supportive they are — they give new and independent artists a real chance to show what they can do, which is so cool. There’s always something fun going on too: Tuesdays are all about Bandoke (karaoke with a live band — so much fun!), and Wednesdays have awesome live music where you can just vibe out or get up and dance! Plus, the venue has serious history from way back in the last century, which just makes it even cooler. Huge shoutout to TCB — you guys are smashing it!

5 Stars - Outstanding Venue and Service! TCB offers an exceptional experience! The atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming, and the music is consistently top quality, featuring fantastic musicians and singers. They truly showcase some of the best musical talent around. What makes TCB even more special is how inclusive they are — giving independent performers a great platform to promote their shows and share their art with the community. It’s clear they are passionate about supporting artists. There’s always something happening: Tuesdays feature the fun and lively Bandoke (live band karaoke), and Wednesdays offer fantastic live music, perfect for listening or dancing the night away!

The roast chicken is one of the best roasts I’ve ever had! You get quite a big portion, definitely worth the money. Everything on the plate was delicious, will definitely be back for a roast!

Went in for a roast dinner and was not disappointed, it is all so fresh and worth the price. The chicken is amazing and I loved the amount of gravy you get :)

I had a Sunday lunch there and the food was lovely. The service was amazing, very polite staff. Definitely recommend!

Nice place lots of seating good Sunday lunch

Just had a lovely couple of roast dinners here, one vegetarian and one not, absolutely delicious and piping hot, manager was one of the most charming and handsome men I've ever met, would thoroughly recommend the food and the venue.

Sunday roast for mothers day with family. All very well catered for, including children and vegan. Food was delicious, very reasonably priced. Drinks too. Good service. Friendly place. Great atmosphere.

Mother's Day Sunday roast with the family and it did not disappoint! Having had many a roast with the family over many years THIS was the one that everyone will now have to meet. Each bite was like a warm hug with special mention to bangin' roast potatoes and leeks and swede were absolutely chefs kiss bringing the dish together. Lashings of piping hot gravy and the stuffing was delicious. As always with the CB there was service above and beyond and more importantly with a warm smile. I've had many things from the menu and it was so nice to bring the family to enjoy too giving me extra brownie points. The Biscoff tiramisu, sticky toffee pudding (and ice cream for the kids) were equally outstanding. All made for a fantastic Mothers Day outing for the family. Seems I have my own baby on the way, albeit a food baby! A very happy Charles Bradlaugh customer. Thanks to all involved! 👍🏻

Great boozer , lovely atmosphere. Well worth a visit for a pint 😉

We had a family get-together here upstairs. It was the perfect size room, great service, and lovely buffet. Car park is small but loads of space across the road.

Warm cozy clean venue friendly staff who went above and beyond for my needs Highly recommend this venue Very vibrant venue. Reason replaced food and drink good quality. I would 100% would recommend this venue

Visited today with friends for a Sunday roast. We all had the chicken roast and it was one of the best pub roasts I've ever had. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. Nice to have creamy leeks as part of the meal. I will definitely return!

Lovely staff, nice and friendly atmosphere. Stand-up shows...what a treat!

Comedy night - very good acts especially Jordan Grey. Did not eat there.

Celebrated my cousins baby shower here yesterday and as always the staff and service was amazing! Will always choose to host here if needed and the food is also lovely!

Tried The Bradlaugh’s Sunday Roast and it was lovely. Large portions, great service, and tasty food. Have also had a few nights out here, great atmosphere and lovely venue.

Had a great Sunday lunch. Fantastic meal and great service. Will definitely be going again, fantastic! Highly recommend

Perfect place to watch the 6nations and have a Bite to eat. All staff super friendly and great service :)

First experience of having a roast dinner at the Bradlaugh. All 4 adults loved every bite we have never had a roast dinner like this before and we can't wait to come back. Would highly recommend this you won't be disappointed! The service is great too and just a lovely pub all in all.

It was my company party with karaoke 🎤 good ambience..

We booked the Top Bar for a staff leaving party on a Friday night in January. We had such a good night . The Charles Bradlaugh has such a great atmosphere. Trav was so helpful sorting the booking for us, he answered all our questions promptly and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The Top Bar was a perfect venue for us- loads of space, comfy seats, an amazing dance floor and a stage where we put our karaoke machine! Rachel was amazing behind the bar and kept the drinks coming all night. Such a great place to hold a party, I cannot recommend it enough, amazing staff, an amazing venue and an amazing party .

If you’re craving a Sunday roast that redefines indulgence, look no further! This chicken roast is a culinary masterpiece – golden, juicy, and bursting with flavour in every bite. Paired with the creamy, decadent Parmesan leeks that melt in your mouth, this dish is a game-changer. But wait, the star sidekick here is the sausage stuffing – smoky, savory, and perfectly spiced, adding an irresistible touch that takes the meal over the top. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience of comfort and celebration on a plate. A true triumph for the taste buds – the kind of roast that makes Sundays worth waiting for! To turn a good meal into a great time, Trav’s warm welcome, attention to detail, and infectious energy made the pub feel like home, adding that extra sparkle to an already unforgettable Sunday roast. Here’s to more Sundays like this – cheers, Trav!

Had a great burger & coffee here last Friday, really tasty food & friendly service. Good parking next to the town centre. Highly recommended.

5 stars is never enough for this place. Trav and the team helped us throw an amazing baby shower. The building itself is warm, inviting and the perfect space for hosting friends and family. The food choices are plentiful and there wasn't a single plate with food left on it. Highly recommend their vegan options as I've yet to find anywhere else who makes a better meat free burger. Finally the staff couldn't have done more for us. Just the right level of attention and a positive attitude that really topped off the mood. Thank you all again, we shall be seeing you soon!

We had a work Christmas party at the beginning of December and Poppy was a great help with the decorations, tables and getting everything out on time. The other girls were very helpful as well. The food was delicious, big plates and everyone enjoyed their food. The only negative I would say is the communication prior to the actual party, the manager isn't great at responding to messages or phone calls in a timely manner. So if you want to organise something, make sure to do it with plenty of time. Other than that it went smoothly.

Went to meet a good friend there today was good fun. Atmosphere was great good fun.

We booked a large table flour works christmas. The food was nice, big portions, probably a little too big. The service was very good al the way from planning to service on the night. We had a few glitches with party members being late etc. And we were catered for the best we could be. Thank you for a fun night.

We had a Delicious roast dinner yesterday 😊👍

Booked the Charles Bradlaugh for our works Christmas party, the manager Trav was nothing but helpful, the buffet food they provided was delicious, the bar staff were amazing and it's the best Christmas party we have had! Honestly such a lovely atmosphere in the pub too, perfect!

THE most fantastic pie and mash —- served to me beautifully by Jess. Thoroughly recommended…

Nice pub, there was a drunk guy being loud and obnoxious, but the staff handled him really well.

Burgers are Great!!! Andrew is a nice man 😘

Hired the upstairs bar for a 40th birthday party. Was the perfect venue, Trav, Poppy and the team were brilliant, the band rocked and everyone had a great night. Highly recommend!

Nice pub to watch the rugby and free gravy and Yorkshire puds. Winner.

Great atmosphere love glow balls .. lovely staff

wicked mate, all because of george

Often quiet but can get busy for events , an often overlooked pub as just out of town. It has a freezing carpark at the side of the pub, friendly staff and a good menu

Had a roast dinner on the Sunday, food was absolutely incredible, big portions and great price. Service was good, everyone was polite and got served very quickly

Food was delicious and great service by Jess and Laura

Fabulous Sunday toast! The team managed to cater for 11 of us and all the food was served piping hot. Big portions & the best suede and carrot mash in town 😍 We will be back 🙌🏻

Very nice loved the sausage stuffing lovely staff and very very nice food

recently had a work night here, TCB were very accomading.. went here with bf & daughter for dinner Friday, very impressed with the food, had steak (which I have never truly enjoyed in a pub) was amazing 👏 from presentation to taste.. bf said same about his burger! would 100% recommend this place for social or family food.

The most authentic and posh pub I've seen in England! Outside of it might put you off but inside it's gorgeous.

Had a nice evening upstairs watching a jazz band. The room was well turned out and the atmosphere was great. I went specifially to watch the band and the Paul Clarke 5 were excellent. I enjoyed my dirnks which were served by the pleasant bar staff.

Came today to have a roast dinner and was not disappointed me and my partner had the roast chicken. It was delicious and a nice sized portion and was all freshly made. The price is worth it and at £16 for a roast dinner is a good price, the pub ran out of dinners pretty quickly so I would suggest booking in advance to save being disappointed. Bar staff were so friendly and also the bar has a very relaxed feel to it. All in all me and my partner will be returning to have a dinner there again.

Heard the Bradlaugh were now doing Sunday lunch so thought would give it a try. Had a fabulous Lemon & Herb roast Chicken. Really tasty, good variety of sides and really well cooked and presented. Small menu but really well done. Good price, at £16, as well. Would recommend :-)

I recently held my partner's 30th birthday at the Charles Bradlaugh, and it was an incredible experience. The venue itself was fantastic—spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for our celebration. Trav, the manager, was especially helpful throughout the entire process, always quick to respond to any queries and making sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a special event.

Had a Sunday roast yesterday, food was lovely, portions were great, could barely finish it and I'm no Kate Moss. The people that work there are really nice and they also happen to have one of the best regulars comedy nights in the country. Free parking as well which is handy.

Wonderful Sunday lunch and very reasonably priced. Lovely staff and atmosphere was great.

We’ve often been to the Charles Bradlaugh for bandeoke or bands and always eaten there , last night we went to the Wednesday jazz night and again ate a delicious meal , I’m vegetarian and the veggie food is always delicious as are the other meals apparently . Great value for money and we were definitely be going to the jazz nights more often 🎶🙌 The staff are always pleasant too . Thank you

Brilliant roast dinner on a Sunday. Best in town. Great food, friendly service and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Needs a better/bigger nonalcoholic selection.

Great service for our school reunion- made to feel really welcome and looked after. Thank you!

A lovely venue. The deco and cleanliness is great. Too much jazz music for my taste, but I was there for a business meeting recently. Visited many years ago for a comedy night that was great.

Love this pub. Great service great food. Just had Sunday lunch which was fabulous! Often live music is on. Bandeoke & quizzes.. this place offers something for everyone. Tv showing The Euro. Nice beer garden too. Bar staff are amazing 👏

First visit Good food and beer Friendly and cheerful staff Was there for a music gig upstairs First rate

We booked the upstairs area for our wedding party and it was the perfect location! Trav sorted the food out and was on hand to answer any questions we had in the organising of the night. Venue location was great as hotels are nearby and also plenty of parking on site. Can’t wait to go back for a Sunday roast. Thanks for a great night TCB!

We hired TCB for our 21st birthday party and they were great, super service and communication throughout the whole process .

Amazing food for the price point; good beer and good service.

Due to a last minute change in plan, I had to search for a new venue for my 18th birthday party - Travis was amazing at communicating and got back to me really fast. In the night the staff were amazing and maintained great service throughout. Overall an amazing night here!

A large open-plan Venue near to the centre of Northampton with a good selection of Beers & and an uncomplicated Menu. Always a good service & fair prices. Have visited here many times and recommend The Brad Burger if you’re feeling peckish!

Sunday Lunch at the Brad. I arrived just after one p.m., ready for Sunday Lunch. I had the choice of sirloin steak or chicken. I chose steak. Lunch came with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, creamed leeks and mashed swede. Delicious, and I was stuffed.

There new Sunday Roast is a must have! 10/10 for the price, quality and amount of food! Would fully recommend!

Had the chicken roast dinner and was to die for. All fresh and delicious. The wait wasn’t too long either. Great coffees as well. Perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, wasnt sure what it would be like as they havent been doing them for long but exceeded all expectations. Served in good time, by polite staff on hot plates, the food was delicious and cooked extremely well. Will def be going back again! Thank you.

Lovely Sunday lunch, didn't have to wait to long, fabulous gravy and good selection of vegtables.

Friendly staff, chilled atmosphere

Excellent all round, really nice staff and service, the food was absolutely spot on....

We had a private party here recently and the staff really went out of their way to ensure we had a good night. They put on a great buffet for us and were really flexible in terms of how we used the private space. It made our night. Would definitely use again. Thanks CB team

Great food, awesome staff and an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend for any occasion 🥳

friendly pub in the middle of northampton town. come back regularly for different occasions. great food options 😊

I have been coming every week for over 2 years. I love the music nights on Wednesdays, some great bands, and live music. We often eat here too, and my partners favourite is the steak and fries, last week, for his birthday, the steak was perfect. I had the lasagne which on a Wednesday is discounted! Great value.

An excellent establishment. The staff are always friendly at this hidden gem.

I went to view to book a launch party, was extremely surprised at what they offer, the entire pub is impeccable, with many seating and dining areas, you can have a cosy corner or a more party vibe, sadly I didn't get a chance to taste they menu as I was only there for a viewing, but definitely I am booking this establishment, upscale and economical.

Bandeoke is superb but so are the rest of their events. Always a good place.

Went for a comedy night and it was brilliant.

Had such a fantastic time here. We reserved an area for a hen party that included a private bar and were very well looked after by the fabulous bar staff for the whole night. We had a large food order that was served promptly and was delicious- highly recommend the steak fries! The bar staff organised cocktails, and Prosecco served beautifully in stands on the bar. The atmosphere was lively with great music. Couldn’t fault a thing. A special thanks to Trav for ensuring everything ran seamlessly and being a good sport during the games!

Great service and friendly staff!! Amazing well presented food and value for money!! We went to see a comedy show and the upstairs venue was amazing good view of the stage from all angles. Great night out

Bar service was slow for a packed comedy night only 2 staff on at beginning of interval so spent all the interval waiting for a drink. Great comedy night though. Great venue. Fabulous atmosphere but music too loud at interval making everyone shout at each other.

Good atmosphere not far away from transport links like Northagte. A lot of art on the walls, good service, no fault just good time.

Hired the Charles Bradlaugh for my 30th birthday. Vibes were amazing, atmosphere and detail were on point. The bar staff were polite and friendly, and everyone had a great time. I can’t praise Trav enough, he was fantastic throughout! Thanks for an awesome celebration!
