The Foundrymans Arms in Northampton

Usually I only ever see this place when it's crowded - on Northampton Saints match days. However, busy or not, it's a delightful place with friendly service and the best beer in town - Phipps IPA. A proper pub.

I can't believe this place only has five reviews! I've been coming here for years, it's the ideal stopping off place for a couple of pints before a Saints match. First, it's a proper pub. Cosy, with a fire in the hearth in the winter. Friendly staff and clientele who will start a conversation with you at the drop of a hat. But best of all, it serves Phipps IPA, a throwback ale from the 1800s that is now brewed just down the road at the Albion Brewery. Recommended.

Recently discovered this gem. I couldn’t have been more warmly welcomed. Fantastic hosts!!! Phone and book a mixed grill for a Sunday - you won’t regret it. A new local for sure!!

we pop in during our dog walk for a quick pint/coffee, owners are very friendly and they even stretch to making a butty if we're peckish. We should support these local pubs before we lose them all.

Great atmosphere, was new to area, so just popped in on Xmas Eve. Staff and customers were very friendly. Great local, i'd recommend to anyone for a cheeky pint.

Quite expensive but lovely atmosphere and the staff are wonderful (especially the ginger one) and prepared to go the extra distance.

Have passed this pub many times, so recently on a trip to the Saints just over the road, we decided to give it a go. A warm welcome from the staff, a nice selection of ales made for a great experience. The food menu also looked good and well priced, so next time will sample the meals.
