The Collyweston Slater in East Northamptonshire

Fantastic food in a lovely restaurant. All members of staff were very polite, friendly and couldn’t do enough. The place had a lovely atmosphere and was very clean.

We met up with very good friends for a wonderful lunch and long chat at Collyweson Slater, as we have done on several occasions. Today was excellent in every way: Grace, our waitress, was welcoming and extremely pleasant and helpful; the food was superb and thoroughly enjoyable, and the company was so refreshing! Thank you to all concerned!!

Here from Scotland visiting friends, went out for a pub lunch. Paid for the bill with Scottish £20 notes. Took the money away but as we were getting ready to leave, came over and humiliated us in front of all other customers by telling us that they cannot accept our money because it’s fake. Young man sent over by manager to inform of this as it was his opinion that the notes were fake. Would have happily accepted the statement of they do not accept Scottish notes and if this was the case why was the police not phoned?? Gobsmacked to be accused of this and will not be back. Shame on the manager for being a baw bag! Also told to spend the money in Corby which I’m told is just down the road and will be appreciated there.. obv full of Scottish??

We went here after my dad funeral for food. Staff were excellent , food was superb. Perfect way to say goodbye . Would defiantly be back and recommend

Tried for the first time. Absolutely perfect all round. Welcomed when we walked in. Great selection of beers. Food and service was spot on. Will definitely recommend and be returning.

We have visited a few times previously at lunch time after a dog walk at the local Fineshade woods. Always enjoyed the lunchtime menu and how dog friendly it is. I have also had a Sunday dinner here which was lovely. So for my birthday I decided to visit for an evening meal again with my little frenchie who goes everywhere with me. Was made to feel very welcome straight away from who I believe was the owner. Lovely lady. My dog was very welcomed, fuss and water. The food was absolutely gorgeous! I went with the halibut and my partner the gammon. The food was hot and fresh and was prepared in a timely manner. Will deffo be back! Thank you all.

We stayed for 1 night whilst visiting family. Room was so cosy. Perfectly clean and also had en-suite with a role top bath. Bed was really comfy too. Lovely atmosphere in the pub very friendly landlady and staff and-an excellent gin selection. Cocktails were also on offer. There was a young guitarist playing which made for a lovely evening. We chose a full English breakfast which was very good quality . Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you x

Had a most enjoyable evening here with family. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home instantly. The menu is varied enough to suit different palates. The food ordered was delivered to the table in a timely manner and was of high quality. The young waiter is very well mannered and attentive without being 'in your face'. He is without doubt one of the best waiters we have come across and is a real asset to this establishment. With excellent food and drink, excellent staff and a great general ambience, The Collyweston Slater is a must to try. We look forward to our return. Keep up the amazing work guys.

First time visit but won’t be the last. Fantastic Sunday roast dinner, excellent quality and plenty of it. Lovely friendly staff from walking through the front door to leaving.

I wanted to say a massive thank you for Sunday ! Not only was the food as always excellent but the welcome and service you gave us was amazing !! Never have I ever doubted your hospitality and my faith has been rewarded. Please pass on thanks to all the guys an girls who follow your lead – the ship has to have a good captain to run smoothly !!- as they were brilliant. i will be back as often as traveling allows, and in the meantime my Mom will be back frequently.

We opted to stay here as it was close to a celebration we were attending in a nearby village and we were so pleased we did. The pub is full of charm but with the added bonus of a lovely hostess! Amy, gave us a warm welcome and tour of the pub which was super quick as it only has 3 rooms. When we checked in we were impressed with how organised she was as she took our orders for breakfast and what time we would like it ready. We had also booked an early evening meal to soak up the impending alcohol! We both opted for the burger, which was beautifully cooked, the onion rings were wonderfully crisp and the skin on fries very tasty. Reasonably priced and quick service. We would both recommend for either dining and/or an overnight stay - we will be back. Thank you Amy for your wonderful hospitality 😊

This is a lovely pub or could be. The food, the waiting staff were excellent,however the manager needs some management skills. The way she deals with her staff is nothing short of rude.she barks out her orders as if she was in the army. The pub says cocktails, not if she decides they are not doing them. Cocktails are not on tonight . We felt very uncomfortable with her whole attitude. We probably won’t go back because of her, which is a shame but don’t think she will give a hoot.

Came in for a meal between 5 and 6 and was extremely taken back by the landlady’s treatment of her staff members and arrival of customers. Will not be returning to an establishment who can treat their staff members and paying customers with such disgusting mannerisms. After a lovely day at Burghley we wanted a peaceful meal, however could not relax due to hearing her bellowing from the bar with all the volume but little movement! Overall the visit felt uncomfortable and distasteful, maybe she needs a career change or to employ a full time manager to take the ropes.

What a let down, website promises much more than they delivered. Started with a warm, friendly welcome and it just went downhill from there. Advised on arrival no cooked breakfast would be available, only a continental which normally wouldn’t be an issue but it wasn’t a continental breakfast that I’ve ever been presented with in all my years of travelling. Tried to negotiate eggs of some sort but was very well ignored. Room was ok, nice clean bedding but a rip in the headboard and the bed frame base all frayed and could feel the springs in the mattress. Coffee/tea stains on the bedroom door. Hospitality tray lacked any tea and a dirty cup which I had to ask to he changed. Lady who checked us in explained there was a residents entrance to the side to save us walking through the pub, not the most inviting entrance as their was a couple of piles of rubbish. Booked a table for evening meal. Three of the dishes on the menu were not available. Breakfast to be really honest was a joke, that is not a reflection on the staff member who was serving as she was really helpful but it certainly wasn’t continental.

Went with my husband daughter and son-in-law had an excellent meal waitress was lovely and helpful pleasant atmosphere would go again highly recommend it.

It takes me back on a journey to the good old Ibiza days…hot women, good drinks and the food was unreal.

A new pub stop for us, this hostelry mixes the old and new inertia well. The bar is well stocked and the food menu has a fair choice on it. Unfortunately several of the dishes were unavailable when we visited which was a shame. My homemade chicken Kiev was nice enough but lack any real garlic taste. The team is friendly and prices are what you have to pay these days of hyper inflation.

fantastic lunch friendly staff and delicious food choice of full menu or sandwiches served with best chips I've tasted in years

Amazing from start to finish. Greeted well and looked after throughout, food fabulous , lovely decor, a truly great find. Will definitely return. Only criticism - pub slightly cold inside but can bypass that when everything else was so good.

Excellent 5 stars all round. The service, the food and the venue were all great. Looking forward to our next visit which will hopefully be very soon. Thanks.

The wife and I had lunch today. Excellent food. Very friendly. Toilets very clean . Inside is beautiful and clean. They love dogs. What's not to like

We booked The Slater for a 65th birthday meal and also arranged a vocalist with the agreement of landlady Amie. The food & service - as always - was excellent, very attentive with nothing too much trouble. A great atmosphere throughout, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Huge thanks to Amie, chef Oliver and all the Slater team for their part in making it such a memorable evening 🎂

Was pleasantly surprised as we drove past to an ideal country pub, with two children in tow we decided to eat only to be forgotten about, I proceeded to pay for my drinks to not even an apology poor as the place wasn’t even busy.

Spent a pleasant evening at Collyweston Slater on Saturday with friends. The pub was busy with plenty of people both eating and drinking. The evening was improved by the ever smiling and responsive Harrison !!

Very nice lunchtime meal.every one in kelsomans party enjoyed.was in dog area so quiet corner.bacon lettuce tom and chips .nice

Just had a lovely meal and the staff were very warm and attentive even though there was already a large party there. The lamb and mint pie was gorgeous. Would definitely recommend

Really good experience. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was very good and the portions enormous.

Just returned home to Spain after two weeks in the UK travelling around visiting old and new places. The highlight for us was staying at the Colleyweston Slater for a night. We were met by the owners Amie & Oliver and straight away made welcome....

Great food and hospitality all round… and the steaks are to die for… perfectly cooked to suit each of us in our group of five!

Lovely place for Sunday dinner.. Staff lovely, portions great... Enjoyed my meal. My only gripe would be I had the Pork... I was the first served it I think today.. And had been carved and left to sit.. Was dry and tough. I know how...

Well cooked and presented food on nicely warmed plates. Menu has enough selection to suite most palettes. Friendly knowledgeable staff.

The hubby and I stopped at the Collyweston Slater like we normally do while visiting some friends locally for some light lunch. It has been a while due to the pandemic, and so we were very disappointed not to see our favourite server the lovely...

We just stopped for sandwiches at lunchtime but these were beautifully presented and tasty. The pub is tastefully decorated and there is a large car park and small outdoor area. Service was good.

I csnt believe that ibwas born and raised in Peterborough amd it took me leaving snd coming back to visit to find this place. The village is remarkable and the staff super friendly. I will come here at least once, every time I come home....

We stayed in the inn for two nights. The room was very clean and welcoming- our room faced a busy main road which created some traffic noise. A secondary glazing system cut most of the noise out and the room was cooled by air conditioning....

We are staying on a nearby campsite and were recommended this hotel/bar/restaurant for their food. On our last night we thought we must try it as the people who recommended it to us came for lunch. I had the lamb. Michelin quality and that’s no...

Booked ahead. Menu much reduced from that on website, even so 5 items were unavailable. Starters took 45 minutes to arrive despite not appearing to be busy. Good good when it came and hot.

The staff were lovely & welcoming and our dinner was really appetising. However we paid £100 for a room which smelt of damp due to a leak through a light/window shaft. The area was still there and a sign said what had happened and not...

We have just had an absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch, food quality and service was exceptional!!! Would highly recommend

Our food was served to the wrong table. This in itself is an error but forgivable. However the manager shouting at my dad and the server when my dad calmly tried to explain how we just wanted to pay for our drinks and leave was...

This was my first time inside a pub since December 23rd 2020 and all was COVID secure. Staff were friendly and the pub full of character. Our roasts (Beef,Turkey and Pork )were generous portions with vegetables served separately. Hot,fresh and delicious,AND cauliflower cheese(my favourite).We shared...

Now under new ownership. Good food, excellent pricing, staff very knowledgeable. Good parking and easy to locate.

The first time we visited as a family of 5 was on a Saturday in Sept, 2020. At that time I would have given 5 stars, Great food and service. It might have been been because they weren't busy. We thought we'd go back for...

We had an Excellent Sunday lunch at the Collyweston Slater pub I had Haloumi Fritters to start and my husband had onion soup which were both really good we then had Roast beef and all the trimmings also a gravy pot each which was a...

Busy outside area, adjacent to car park. Interesting watching traffic and comings and goings of pub visitors. We ate inside and they welcomed our well-behaved dog at one end of the pub, not in the restaurant, but we were fine with that arrangement. Lots of...

Good evening meal. Nice choice on menu. Had curry was excellent. All quickly provided and nicely presented.

Stopped off here by chance and so glad we did. The landlady was attentive, friendly and chatty. Great covid measures - tables well spaced with lots of room. We had sandwiches - all of which were really delicious and served with crisps and salad. Highly...

When we heard of the new occupants of The Colleyweston Slater, we knew we had to visit after having experienced their food in a previous location. As two couples, we each ordered something different from the lunchtime menu, and were delighted by everything which was...

dropped in for a drink on Sunday lunchtime and thought it was really quiet; only two other customers. I then paid £7.20 for a pint of bitter and a small lime and soda

Excellent Pub, Great Landlord Damien! Well worth a visit. Always looked after! Food is excellent and a great selection of drinks. Service is first class and lovely welcoming atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble

A last minute decision saw us land at the Collyweston Slater. Despite us not booking a table for lunch we were very warmly welcomed in and seated immediately. A very traditional old building that has been thoughtfully restored, it was such a refreshing change from...

We have regularly for the last 10 years or so been meeting up with our friends in various establishments in and around Northamptonshire. Three couples, of which two couples always stay at the accommodation, and the six of us always have an evening meal at...

Passed several times and decided to pop in for lunch today. I thought lunch time menu was a little bit lacking. We both decided on scampi and thick cut chips. This was very good. Came very quickly. Staff most helpful and obliging. Will be back....

The outside of the building looks how you imagine an old public house to look in this area as in the listings picture, which is inviting and homely. Inside we were welcomed in a gentleman whose attire was not one would have expected from front of house staff tracksuit top etc, We should have realised that this may be reflected in the food! We thought well we were hungry we will stay.We ordered from the specials of the day:- Minced beef and onion pie with vegetables (£12.95) and my wife had pan fried bream and vegetables(£9.25}When the food arrived the presentation was poor it looked like a child had put it on the plate, No sorry that's an insulting to children as I've seen them do far better at my sons school!There was a huge lump of mashed potato on both plates bigger than my fist (I have large hands XL gloves) The fillet of sea bream (not whole fish) was draped over the potato, the very large carrots were sliced had no taste, a sprig and a 1/2 of broccoli and cauliflower which was very al dente and a heaped soup spoon of peas.My Pie was not a pie it was a porcelain dish with a puff pastry top cooked separately in an oven and placed on top. So not a pie in any language! the gravy was over seasoned so you could not taste the minced beef. My wifes fish did taste of fish but the ground pepper on top of it should have been on the side or left off, pepper is not everyone's choice.We did say about the lack of presentation on the plate to the young man that served us and other comments, Thanks for the feedback!!Not reassuring when it seemed a normal rehearsed reply.We shall not be stopping here again.

We loved staying here for a couple of days. The host and staff were very welcoming and could not do enough for us. My wife is diabetic and they made a lovely fruit compote for her at breakfast. They took a close interest in what we were doing and ultimately provided an ideal context for our stay. The food was good pub fare with some very tasty local produce. We had a smashing ham, egg and chips with very tasty local ham. Bacon and sausage etc at breakfast were also very tasty.The accommodation is good, clean and well appointed - and the road outside never seemed too loud. We intend to return and would recommend this establishment heartily.

We stayed here because we had a family party in the village. This turned out to be a great choice. Lovely pub friendly staff and a good choice of gin. Our room was very pleasant in shabby chic style. It had a comfy bed a nice tv and air-con, and was very clean. Breakfast was great quality and as much as you could eat. Lovely fruit pastries and yogurt choices on the continental option too. We would certainly recommend and stay again.

Very polite and welcoming waiting staff however the food was extremely disappointing.A bit of constructive criticism as it’s such a lovely pub, no where near enough sandwich filling (an embarrassingly small about of tuna) and half cooked chips.The bread was simply just wholemeal, certainly not sliced granary. For £7.95 a sandwich I would expect more than two slices of dry bread and uncooked chips.

went for a lunch time meal was not disapointed and price for the 2 for £12 range was perfect.which included very nice scampi really cooked to perfection plus the big chips and garden peas.

I would recommend Collyweston slater to anyone the food is really good and couldn’t ask for anything more definitely deserves the 5 stars

Very picturesque looking pub. My friend and I stopped for lunch today. Were very pleased with our lunch. Good food and quality. Nice surroundings and pleasant staff. Will definitely call into here again.

Its been ages since we have been to the Collyweston Slater but so glad we did...geat team of youngsters serving drinks and food..but what value..Wow! and the Quantity.!!!!!!!..we all left saying we had never had so much food at a pub before....two of us had gammon and we both received two huge gammon slices, two eggs and two slices of pineapple...we just could not eat it all....we asked for doggy bags to take the extra slice home with us. One of us had the lamb shank and said it was the best he had had! Yes the Collyweston is a pub but well worth a visit any day for a good hearty meal.

Had a midweek stay with friends this week using the Collyweston Slater as a base, in order to see a performance at Tolthorpe Hall. On arrival we were immediately made to feel very welcome. On hearing of our plans for the evening, the chef came out to see us and arranged for our meal to be served slightly earlier than the normal time. The quality of the evening meal and breakfast the following morning was excellent. All staff without exception were very friendly and helpful. Good value for money. Would be happy to return and have no hesitation in recommending.

Good selection of pub favourites. It was excellently cooked and well presented. The food was hot and very tasty. Friendly service. Good value for money.

Great service and nice food. A decent Sunday dinner can sometimes be tricky to but this pub seems to be getting it right.. two courses for 15 quid represents great value, the vegetables were all tasty and not over cooked. Service was good. Can't complain for the money!

Had my birthday meal there and the Chef, Sam, a cheesecake guru came up with a whiskey based celebration cake for me.

Fab service , great food , well cooked .went above and beyond for my grandson. Will defo go again. Lovely family business .very attentive .Sam's homemade birthday cake was amazing. Loved it . Thank you to all the staff and Sam for a great night . Sue.

Good service, very patient as I was late . Good good , nice friendly place . Very accommodating to our grandson. Brilliant cake. Thanks all

We stopped off here on Saturday morning for a breakfast, served from 9.00 till 10.30. What can I say - simply the best breakfast we have had for a very long time. Fresh fruit salad, fresh yogurt, cereals, extensive cooked breakfast, French pastries, toast crumpets and unlimited tea or coffee. The restaurant was very clean and tidy with a lovely calming ambiance and the staff were polite and very helpful.

Called in with 6 adults and a little dog for Sunday lunch , we had drinks varying from beer to soft drinks all fetched straight away,

On the off-chance we took friends along to this pub last week and so glad that we did. The atmosphere was immediately welcoming. The service attentive but not intrusive. The food was delicious and served in good time. (The Black Pudding Tower is a lovely starter, and is big - so be warned!).
