The Four Pears in South Northamptonshire

Very nice place to eat and drink in. Food was really nice and well presented.

I was really looking forward to trying the The Four pears, it just didn’t live up to my expectations!!!! Food was ok. Burger was bland and looked boring and my partner food the veggie pasta was really just pasta twists. Not even fresh pasta !!!! It lacked atmosphere, no music had to ask for the light on table to be lit and really if your charging that price you need table linen not paper napkins. The interior is awful it’s so dated very Dunelm . Best part really was the staff. I couldn’t even read the bill as the print on the receipt was so dull as they need new ink !!! School boy errors. The bill was nearly £350 for 5 and as it was a birthday celebration it was just disappointing!!!

Updated Oct 24 under new management. Great service. Great menu. Excellent food. Thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous food with friendly service

Was there on a late Sunday evening and still got great service through out

Superb, one of the best meals in a long time. Starter: cheese and pickle scotch egg was very tasty Main: flat iron, chips and carrots, so much meat and cooked perfectly, tasted amazing, chips really nice and the carrots were the star, beautifully flavoured . Dessert: cheesecake, so good! Staff very friendly good speed of service Highly recommend

I have to say how disappointed we were, we had the Sunday roast the potatoes must have been cooked the day before, we ordered whist sitting in the bar and within 3 minutes the food was ready, the Microwave must have been working overtime. If I was being honest I have better food in hospital, I would say avoid.

I messaged the four pears after seeing their Instagram post about their Sunday roasts which looked insane so instantly was craving one. The lovely Clare managed to fit me in last minute that day even though they had no availability on the website. I had the roast beef and the whole meal was 10/10, the portions are massive so you won’t go home hungry. I had a side of cauliflower cheese as that’s just a staple with a roast! Again the cauliflower cheese was amazing, easily the nicest I’ve had dining out. I love this place as the atmosphere is relaxed and chilled and the setting is perfect for a dinner with friends/family. Can’t wait to try the new items on the menu 🤍

Was apprehensive when the place didn’t look busy. Thankfully, was surprisingly delighted. Waitress was very friendly and patient. Food was good, seems to be steak and fish is the go-to. Will come back when in the area again as not local to me. One down side, parking isn’t the easiest. I don’t fault that to the pub though.

My husband and I visited with two friends and had a great evening! Starters were amazing (we had crab and scallops) as well as the main course (my husband and I shared the 32oz black garlic flat iron steak - must try!!!). For dessert you had the sticky toffee pudding which is as good as everyone says! Great atmosphere, must try!

What an incredible meal we had here yesterday evening! Visited this restaurant with a group of friends. We shared the 32oz steak and an assortment of vegetables. Who knew that carrots and cabbage could be so divine? The carrots were roasted and dressed in a yoghurt walnut dressing…exquisite! The steak was cooked to perfection and flavoursome. It’s a beautiful pub in a lovely location. The staff provided an excellent service. I have recommended this place already! It made for a lovely evening - thank you!!

Chill atmosphere, lovely staff, amazing sea bass.

Our first time here, the food was so delicious, generous portions and attentive staff. Lovely decor, we came for our anniversary and it felt well suited for the occasion. We are big foodies and were impressed, definitely somewhere we will come back to again. (Bill came to £100 for 2, that was 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 sides, 1 pudding, a large glass of wine and 3 soft drinks, and we came away stuffed!)

Really nice place to eat with very good quality food. The menu is limited, but I'd well imagine that it is intended, allowing for a higher level of flavour and taste. Overall, it was a lovely experience enjoyed by all.

I'll keep it simple and to the point. If you are looking for a restaurant that delivers on quality and flavour, this is the place for you. I can sum it up in one word..Delicious!!

Outstanding service from lovely and very attentive staff. The atmosphere was chilled on a rainy Saturday afternoon/evening. The menu isn't your standard pub grub—it's a culinary delight! Thoughtfully crafted dishes to suit everyone’s tastes. The four of us have eaten here twice, and the portion sizes are so generous that we had to get a doggie bag for the new potatoes. Our diverse family of meat eaters, pescatarians, and vegans were all blown away by our dishes. The menu is gorgeous, the service exceptional, and the value for money is up there. If you're craving Hunter's Chicken and a plate piled high, better head to a Hungry Horse And If you're not happy with your food or can't find anything nice to say about a group of hardworking young people trying to elevate and educate your palate, just tell them directly. Going online to criticize from behind a keyboard is a bit lame. Just be decent people, and consider the impact your words can have on someone's business. Positive vibes only ✌️

### Wonderful Dining Experience Under New Ownership I recently dined at this restaurant with a friend, and it was nothing short of wonderful. The recent change in ownership has clearly brought a breath of fresh air to the place. The food was amazing and truly lived up to the hype. Each dish was a delight, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The new chef/owner has a real talent for creating great tasting food that exceeds expectations. I can't wait to see what new additions will appear on the menu in the future. If the current offerings are any indication, we're in for a treat. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience!

Small serves of overpriced food, which unfortunately, isn’t that interesting. Service slow. Decor nice.

Larger was terrible garden seats filthy

Could do with a update of opening times.

Been many times under different ownership so were eager to try again. Looks the same on the outside and inside but the food was at best average. This was disappointing and not what we had hoped. The menu was awkward, disjointed: not enough choice? Lacking something - no wow factor - such a shame!

Ok, not great. Maybe helps if you’re local? Food a bit average. Menu hard to interpret. I wouldn’t rush back, but wouldn’t avoid it completely. Overpriced for very average food.

Well Well well what a surprise, the food was more than expected, well presented, lovely hostess! Looking forward to our next visit!

First visit since the recent takeover. No surprise to say that the food now matches the quality of the rest of the place. The scotch egg was exactly what you want from an English pub. Loved the battered cod cheeks with the baked fillet and the 32oz flat iron was predictably excellent. Well done James and team, look forward to seeing things develop further.

A beautiful pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff 🥂

Stopped off for a quick bite and decided to get a few starters for lunch as the menu sounded good. Staff as friendly as ever and the food was incredible. The crab tacos were insanely good, the scotch egg was lovely and soft with a runny yolk and it was so nice to see padron peppers on a menu in England. I know the pub was recently taken over and still in a transition period, but it's already a great place to go for food and drinks. The outside garden was perfect on a warm summer's day

A great place for a Sunday lunch; both the food and drinks were great; the staff were helpful and welcoming

Great food, service and friendly staff. We will definitely visit again.

Sunday lunch barbecue was exceptional. Food, service and atmosphere all wonderful. Hopefully this will become a Sunday staple when the sun's out.

Always loved the four pears , food always delicious but last night wasn’t good , scotch eggs starter was tasteless and four pears burger had bone , or something hard and crunchy, in burger , after 2 bites I left it , I’ve had it before and was so nice - very disappointed 😞

Exemplary food and service today at lunch, gorgeous place and people xx

Edited June 2024. New chef, steak has increased to £40 from £26; now it's bone in. I appreciate the menu needed an update but my favourite steak is just not the same. Superb steak and too many spectacular chips! Great new menu. Helpful and cheerful staff; nothing is too much trouble. Shall be returning!

Lovely village restaurant , been about a dozen times over last few years, had some terrific meals but seems to have dipped slightly in quality recently

We highly recommend the 4 Pears - from first entering the place we knew it was going to be a bit special. From front of house, Clare to the waiting staff, service was exceptional. Our meal was just faultless! An amazing experience-well done all of you!

My boyfriend and I visited the four pears on Saturday night and had such a lovely time. The food was amazing, the sticky toffee pudding in particular! And the staff were fabulous, extremely attentive despite the busy environment. Highly recommend, it lived up to all our expectations!!

Fabulous meal , great service and wonderful buzzy atmosphere 😀 brilliant summer evening venue x

Fabulous place, lovely interior with a small and cosy courtyard. Very good service and amazing food! Thank you very much The Four Pears!

Not as good as Ember. We love Ember and when we heard the team over there had taken over the Four Pears we were excited to try it out but were left disappointed. The prices are basically the same as Ember but portion sizes are far smaller and it doesn't feel like good value for money. The food also isn't as good. Some of our dishes were undercooked including hard vegetables and the sticky toffee pudding was also disappointing and we could tell it had just been microwaved. I'm sure if you were visiting for the first time and hadn't been to Ember before you'd have a nice meal but unfortunately we could only compare to our many times visiting Ember and it didn't live up to expectations. Overall, it felt the team at Ember puts more time and effort into the dishes so still some way to go to offer the same experience.

What a gem ! So nice to visit a beautiful pub with some exciting dishes. Not your usual pie and chips..but imaginative well paired food. I have been twice since James has taken over and enjoyed the choice of delish offerings. Oh and the elderflower cocktail ...thanks Clare very well made 😍😍

I used to love to come here for a meal, but the recent menu… how can I say… has forced me to go somewhere else unfortunately. So sorry… Hope to see again the chunk chips and the other lovely bites you used to serve.

Went on the opening night. To have a chef of James Peck’s calibre cooking for you is something special. The team are brilliant, we couldn’t fault the menu and experience. Will 10000% recommend and will certainly be back. We are so lucky to have James the team, Ember and four pears in the county. 🫶

Great service and food all round lovely staff looked after us start to finish, food was 4 stars as the prawns we had were abit over cooked and one of the scallops dishes was over cooked and they forgot 1 of the sides, bar that great food service and atmosphere overall. We will be back 100%

James from Embers has done it again. Completely changed the atmosphere. Food was just spot on. Will be back as a new local favourite. XL Scallops and steak all the way!!

I recently dined at The Four Pears Pub and had a delightful experience. The highlight of my meal was the battered fish, which was cooked to perfection with a crispy exterior while still being tender and flaky inside. The fries accompanying the fish were well-seasoned, adding a nice touch of flavor to each bite. The service at the pub was commendable as well; the staff was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, The Four Pears Pub delivers a cozy and satisfying dining experience that I would recommend to others. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit!

Husbands birthday lunch and didn't disappoint. Will definitely return. Food was superb 👌

Another excellent Greek Night, swordfish was spot on

Really lovely food again , with fab service . I'll definitely recommend and go again .

No complaints at all. Good food in a lovely old pub in a beautiful village. Service was excellent and food served in a very friendly manor. My chilli con carne was extremely nice and the sticky toffee pudding was as good as I've had in a long time. Well worth a visit.

We visited the four pears for lunch today, Saturday, and we're both struck by how beautiful the interior was in this fabulous 400 year old pub. We opted for the 3 course lunch, reasonable for £21 pounds per head. We both opted for the crispy chicken starter, and the sticky toffee pudding desserts but my wife had the burger whilst I had the chilli con carne served with rice. All courses were served by excellent staff members with a smile and we thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hour visit. The food was very nice with my chilli con carne not having too much spice, in fact just right. With a pint of lemonade and coke this totalled a very reasonable £49.20. The pub is dog friendly, we saw about 5 in there! Parking is available in the street directly outside. A lovely pub worthy of anyone's time. Visited 16th March 2024.

Unbelievable roast dinner and superb service. We love visiting the pub!

Hadn't been since before the pandemic. It's changed of course but the food is still top quality.

Beth was an excelllent waitress so friendly and knowledgeable , great food definitely would come again

Great atmosphere staff & food. Unlike many resturants the tables for two are a good size. The portions are large and great quality. The staff are attentive without smothering. A great find!

Superb! Delicious food - the Tavern Dheu was out of this world. The staff were so friendly and obliging, nothing was too much trouble, even though we were a large party of 28. Special thanks to India, whose hard work made our evening really special.

The staff can’t be blamed as they have clearly not been trained to give good service. They chatted amongst themselves instead of keeping an eye on what was happening with their customers. Drinks were offered too late and then only one drink (with our starters was offered). The courses were all HUGE - unnecessarily so and our white wine sauce on salmon tasted remarkably like gravy!! The dessert did not taste of the white chocolate it purported to be and might have been more appetising if garnisheed with something contrasting, rather than two insipid slices of pear and a similar-colour shortbread. Getting any attention and help from the young waiting staff was very difficult- they were usually chatting to the bar-person. Training and more training is all that’s needed to make this a decent pub/restayrant

The food was lovely and the ambience made me feel I wanted to stay all night. The only negative was the waitress couldn't or didn't want to understand a word I said so my husband ordered. Bar this I had a great time and just ignored the waitress for the rest of the evening.

Visited yesterday for a roast dinner, this place exceeded every possible expectation. The staff were so polite and efficient and the food was absolutely incredible, had a roast dinner duo of pork belly and beef and it was Devine. 10/10 on all counts, I will be returning probably sooner than I should. Thanks team 👏

Brilliant! They were able to accommodate our large party with great service. Everyone had roasts which were brilliant. The meat on one of the Beef Roasts was sub par but the others were great. The pork roast was the best I’ve had in a long time. A busy bar area with friendly atmosphere. Prices were reasonable. Would go again.

Fabulous food. Great atmosphere and a very friendly team. Great for just a drink as well as eating. If you haven't been - give it a try. If you have been, keep going!!

A wonderful evening; lovely, polite Staff, fabulous food and a great atmosphere. Overall a commendable dining experience!

We returned here once again for a friends birthday. As always, everything was spot on, we enjoyed a drink in “The big chair” before being shown to our round table which we always like as you are able to converse with everyone. The food was of the usual high standard, served hot and was delicious. The waiting staff are always mega friendly, smiley and helpful. I will never tire of coming here. The Yorkshire Puddings were immense! Thank you for another lovely afternoon 😃

Very disappointed with the service and the food. One main course was left is inedible. Taken away by the staff but no apologies. 3 soups for starters were lukewarm at best. Over rated not worth the money. Won't be going back

Delicious good quality fish and chips, friendly staff and a lovely comfortable pub.

Lovely pub. very popular so you should book

My wife and I eat on a Friday night and would recommend pre-booking as it gets very busy and for a good reason, the food is amazing. Beef and ale pie was so full it was bursting out of the crust top.

2 of us had lunch. Had som business to discuss first. The Wi-Fi was very strong. The we got onto lunch. The service was great. Efficient & friendly. The Resturant had a good buzz & nice ambiance. The food was exceptional. The soup or the day - delicious (broccoli & pancetta). My main - steak & ale pie, mash & roasted root vegetables. Gravy. Awesome comfort food on a chilly winter day. Quality ingredients. A good menu, with plenty of choice. Highly recommended.

Fabulous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We came up from London to a friend's 65th Birthday with our families. As soon as I walked in, just loved the lay out and decor. Greeted by smiling friendly staff. We had the conservatory room, it was beautiful, warm and well presented. The serving staff were so polite, professional, and smiling, always a plus. This has to be the best experience so far this year for me and my family. The food was delicious, service was spot on, absolutely delightful. Well done to all . Throughly recommend and hope to visit again. 👍⭐️ Ps The ladiesToilets always a joy when kept that clean👍

Nice little village pub, but we thought a little overpriced. Some portion sizes ok but others quite small.

We travel around Northants trying Sunday dinners at independent pubs and this is possibly our new top spot! What looks like a traditional pub on the outside is beautifully decorated inside. The team working there are attentive and so friendly. But the food is what impressed so much. Homemade soup followed by chicken dinner with the most incredible Yorkshire pudding. Every bite was savoured. We're already planning our next visit.

Fantastic food. Good ambience and lovely staff. All good and we recommend them whole heartedly. Thank you.

We had a lovely meal there the food was fantastic could not fault it. My salmon dish was amazing well worth the price, very pretty place lovely atmosphere xx

Our server was first class, very knowledgeable, attentive and efficient. There were 5 of us and were a little disappointed with the menu, the burgers only had sweet buns (Brioche) not something we like with meat, the alternative was eithe a vegan roll or gluten free, neither of which I found acceptable. In the sandwiches there was a choice of breads, white or rye bloomer. I had fish and chips with peas, beautifully cooked and piping hot, a choice of peas would have been nice. My wife had the special, seafood pasta, which she enjoyed, one of our friends had the steak and ale pie with mash, which he found full of good meat and the mash was very good, his wife had the seabass, the other special which she said was very nice too, her sister had the pulled brisket sandwich in rye bread which she said was really nice. We had to ask for sauces and mayonnaise as they weren't offered The ice cream selection and sorbets was very good. All in all a very nice meal, although for us, a limited menu.

Had a very nice evening with my wife celebrating our wedding anniversary. They have a good range of drinks, especially gin. The staff were friendly and helpful and allowed us to order and eat at our own pace. I was worried about the amount of options on the menu but I needn't have. The food was delicious and of good quality. We had three courses and could not fault anything. Thank you to all the staff for a welcome and relaxing evening. August 2022 update: Three years since our last visit and we were not disappointed. Food was great and staff were spot on. Thank you for a nice evening. August 23 update: Same as above

The food was delicious 😋 the service was professional too

Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. The menu was great too.

Had Sunday lunch it was lovely, great atmosphere only 2 MINOR complaints, too much gravy and the cauliflower cheese wasn’t great. Starters and puds were very tasty, earlier entry said the menu was limited but with a small kitchen I do not want to read a list of 30 choices, menu was fine for us.

Superb gastro pub food in a beautiful quiet village location. High quality fresh ingredients prepared with care. Our Sunday lunch did not disappoint.

Great food at reasonable prices . Very friendly service. We got at there qt 4.15 not realising food isn't served til 5.30. The time soon passed and staff was very helpful, especially Toni who recommended the short rib, which Was out of this world , I highly recommend this place

My food was amazing no faults however my husband ordered the burger and that was very dry waitresses were amazing it’s the management that need a refresher course in customer service I advised the manager that burger was dry this reply will make anyone laugh in 4 years “I’ve never had a complaint about the burger, the burger is cooked in grill then in oven on a timer” surely an experience chef would not need a timer management can’t take criticism at all was no apology nothing just us making us feel we were in the wrong for disputing a dry burger at a cost of £17 would not go back

Our second visit to this pub last night. We were a table of 5, it was the Friday night Billingsgate fish night which meant their usual menu is paired back. It's a dog friendly pub, in bar area and presumably in the outside area, which is very nice. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The business is looking to hire a front of house manager, which is obviously needed as waiting staff were not being directed, they were standing around chatting and we had slow service. We gave up on ordering deserts as it was taking so long and just got the bill instead. The food was good, on a par with other types of gastro pubs, but prawn cocktail starter was disappointing, two lettuce leaves and prawns in sauce, it could have been so much better. Main meals were nice, nothing exceptional, whole sea bass only came with veg, had to order and pay for chips separately. Chips were excellent. Overall, a nice experience but not overwhelmed with the menu choices and value for money.

Never been to this pub before even though I have passed it innumerable times. Advertised as a Greek night with a live band me and my better half were dreaming of those wonderful Greek holidays eating in marvellous tavernas some of our favourite Greek food. Then we saw the menu. Ohhh dear it was a bit thin on choice. OK if you were a vegy or vegan as at least a third of it was for you but I love a real lamb moussaka but only a veg one was on offer! Still I had the prawns for starter which were nice but came with dry bread. I ordered the lamb chops for mains which came with salad and rice. Well they looked really nice on the plate but when put in the mouth...... nothing no taste? I thought, have I lost my sense of taste so I tried the second chop...... no taste? I gave some to my partner and she said... no taste. Very strange but, and I tend to judge restaurants on them the chips I ordered as a side were....oven / Frozen chips. A pet hate of mine as it takes nothing for a real chef or cook to rustle up real chips. We didn't bother with a sweet as we thought the it was probably beyond the chefs capability to rustle up descent home made sweets and we had shop bought sweets at home. The fact is the £95 bill was the way over priced for our food. We had eaten the day before at a green king for £13 including drinks and the food was better than this place.

Lovely little pub in a beautiful old village, called in for a quick drink and nibble after visiting Castle Ashby. Grew to see another dog friendly pub around! Lovely decor and plenty of choice of food and drink, we will be back!

I’d been recommended this pub & decided to try it. My wife & I had a lovely meal here, really nice service & great food. Loved the small bites starters: pork belly bites, pop corn cauliflower and fried squid. Mains of cod & whole sea bass lovely. Draught Doom Bar gorgeous. Option for a lovely outdoor shaded area on a sunny day. Will visit again.

Four Pears is a village pub and restaurant. Always friendly and helpful staff. Had a meal in the restaurant the weekend of the Coronation. They were quite happy for me to have two starters instead of a main meal. Food was excellent. Everybody reiterated the same experience. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely stunning Sunday Lunch. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly. The meat was succulent, warm & delicious. One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve ever had! Highly recommend to anybody

Staff were great. Food was great. Gin was great. Super helpful and friendly bunch. Can't say much of the atmosphere because we went when they were very quiet

Very nice staff with very good food, it was an experience to repeat. We enjoyed it very much.

Visited for dinner last night and it was great, as usual. I’ve been here many times for lunch and dinner as live locally and it’s consistently good. Last night, I had the ribeye steak for the first time and it was perfectly cooked. Partner had the chicken burger and really enjoyed it. Service is always friendly and efficient. Great drinks menu and inclusive for non-drinkers. I’d highly recommend going to one of their monthly “fish nights” where they have some delicious fish specials on. All round a gem of a pub with great food!

Anniversary meal. Was amazing Staff amazing ,. very tasty food. Will deffo be booking again

Went with friends, table of 12, excellent service and food. Only 4 stars because ordered the spicy chicken burger and there was no spice at all. It was tasty but not spicy.

Great meal at a reasonable price. Staff were very helpful and had good conversation.

Attended with a group of 13 family members - and the service from our server Grace was excellent she was very attentive and got us our drinks orders and ensured all of the food dishes ordered went to the right person. We had pre ordered our food a few days before as we were a large group. So my son had ordered a steak that listed as follows on the menu Black Angus Sirloin Steak Chunky chip, salad garnish, portobello mushroom and grilled tomato with a choice on Pepper corn or red wine sauce £24.95 When his meal come out the peppercorn sauce was missing so we asked for it. We was told they would have to make it as it was not on the menu.. ok I said. The issue I had was when I went to pay. Now as a large group it was agreed we would pay for what we had in our family groups so I went up 2 pay for 3 meals. I was charged £70.23 as I was not sure if the price of my own dish or my wife’s I tapped my card and got my receipt Back at the table I noticed I was charged £2 for the peppercorn sauce and a 10% service charge had been added at £6.38 Now firstly I was going to give a tip to our waitress Grace along with the rest of the table and nowhere did it say on the menu or at the till a service charge will be added and neither was I asked at the till if I wanted to pay it it was just added I checked with others in our group who had paid and they were either asked or the charge was crossed off the receipt. Disappointed as I knew the service charge would not go to just Grace but probably not to the staff at all. After pondering the £2 for the sauce I went to talk to the staff to ask why I was charged for it to which the Manager who over heard barked back at me rather loudly in front of other customers “why did you not expect to pay for it as it’s a chargeable extra” I responded “well it doesn’t indicate this anywhere on the menu” he then shoved a menu at me and said “read it” I gave it back to him and said “I have and there is no indication of the £2 charge” He aggressively said “all restaurants in Northampton charge for sauces” I was shocked at his reaction as he turn his back on me to walk of so I said “well change your menu to reflect it” He turn back and said “ok I’ll get you £2 cash from the till” “To be honest I said I don’t want it but it’s the principle of it .. you keep it” I went back to my seat and a minute later another waitress came over with £2 cash and awkwardly said sorry. The manager just avoided our table from that point until we left. Spending £250 on the food £100 on drinks we didn’t even get a thank you or goodbye when we left and the place was nearly empty Won’t be going back purely because of his attitude and the added service charge and the hidden costs It’s not as if I could go and get the food myself from the kitchen Serve my self and clear my own table It should be my choice who I tip and how much I want to give. Rant over thanks for reading.

Lovely clean pub, attentive staff. First visit for late Sunday lunch. Will go back.

Nice clean, tastefully decorated. Had 3 course Sunday lunch. Every course was amazing, so tasty. Our Waitress was also very polite, helpful and professional. I plan to return there one evening. Highly recommend. Food is 1st.class. prices are reasonable as well.

Was a good meal with friends. Food was good the steaks were large but the presentation what's not quite what I had expected of the dish. The ding dong of the food being ready from the kitchen can be heard through our dinner which was off putting. Staff were OK seemed a young team on and no real idea of the drinks offered in any depth and had to ask for more drinks for the table., instead of being offered. Had to ask staff to shut the outer door to the smoking area as it made the dining room smell of smoke and was cold Over all it was an OK experience.

fabulous roast dinner! one of the nicest ones we've had out! roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were delicious, lots of veg and tasty gravey. the beef and lamb were cooked to protection. can not wait to return.

This is the best restaurant in Northampton. Every time we eat here we always feel like we have had the best service, very friendly and attentive and the food is always well presented and delicious! We would definitely recommend a visit to try for yourself.

Had our work Christmas meal here just before Christmas and it was great. The food was very tasty, the service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

We stumbled across this pub back in February ‘22 when looking for somewhere to eat and had a fantastic meal; so much so that on our return trip to Northampton we decided to return and looked forward to it. Upon coming into the pub it was exactly how we remembered it, clean , tidy and welcoming. Unfortunately the food was not up to the standard we remember from Feb. We had fond memories of the fresh bread which was placed on the table during our last visit, sadly this doesn’t appear to happen anymore. The antipasti platter, we had previously had which was fantastic was no longer on the menu, which was a shame. The children’s fish goujons back in Feb were clearly of better quality, the chunks of fish in a fresh crisp batter. This time however they were fish fingers, clearly the same ones that you can pick up at any local supermarket. The steak and ale pie, was bland and tasteless, which was a real shame. The plate came out swimming in gravy, which thankfully I like gravy, but even I have my limits on gravy. The pie inside was dry, there was no gravy filling within the pie, probably why it was swimming in gravy on the outside! Overall the staff are friendly and excellent. The pub is clean, tidy and really funky. The food really let this place down, I don’t know what has happened since our last visit as the majority of reviews are positive, maybe the chef was having a bad day or struggling to get ingredients. However, we felt somewhat disappointed with our food.
