The Griffin Inn in Daventry

Great Sunday lunch Food and staff first class

Amazing great quality food at very reasonable prices. I recommend for lunch the warm beef baguette which comes with French fries and salad. Plentiful at £6.95. Good beer and friendly customer service. Keep up the good work guys!

Sunday lunch is okay price but not much tatse and no real roast potatoes instead they are wierd air cooked new potato's.small dining area mostly full of locals.not one i would re visit sadly.parking has room for about 3 cars.

The Vegetarian beetroot Wellington was excellent. Vegetables were perfectly cooked. We were a large party and we all enjoyed our meals. Waitress was friendly and helpful.

Bog standard mediocre food. Wetherspoons is better.

NHS Retirement Fellowship lunch, 20 well fed diners, set lunch at a great price. Thanks we will be coming back soon

This is the first time for me and for my family they visited 20 years ago. Why oh why have we not visited this before food excellent, in choice, value and content. My position previously was a assessor of hotel and catering, my only concern was only two staff working in the bar and a very busy restaurant, one table of 13 who ordered separately and paid separately, one staff dealing with this and running back into the restaurant. I noticed a staff member called Lesley or Kelly, she was excellent, rushed off her feel, however gave recommendations and specials. We will return, but just hope the poor staff get some more support from the management. Anna Lailey de Ville Cert Ed Assessor A1

Excellent food, great service, fairly priced. The fillet steak with crevetes cooked in garlic butter was phenomenal as was the steak and ale pie. Kelly was friendly, attentive and efficient. A lovely lunch and we'll be back soon!

"I went to the venue today for the senior citizens' menu, and it was absolutely fantastic! The value was amazing, the food was spectacular, and our waitress, Kelly, did an incredible job looking after us all on her own. Thank you so much, Kelly, for making us feel so welcome. We can't wait to come back!"

Great food and reasonably priced

Not sure what happened, usually a good choice, but we pre ordered for 1pm as there was 11 of us, and only get an hour for lunch , not our first visit and its never been an issue before, but we arrived at 12.50pm and didnt see our food until 1.45pm . Saw ourselves to the table . Wasn't too busy , no interaction at all from the waitress, until we asked where our food was. Food was fairly good, as usual, but just a shame we didnt have time to enjoy it . On paying the bill I did ask what the issue was but there was no comment and not even an apology. Shame because this was not usual and we enjoyed our times here

Absolutely delicious! I had the CPC burger and it was so good, cheese perfectly melted, beef perfectly seasoned and yummy salad dressing. My mum loved her chicken and mushroom pie, she was a massive fan of the mash especially. We come from a family that is very particular about our bread and butter pudding and have our own family recipe, and in my mums words “almost as good as our own” which I can’t tell you how much of a compliment that is ahaha.

Booked a dog friendly table, there is also a lovely dining room at the back. It was Tuesday and pie night. They are served with a choice of flavoured mash, we had colcannon and 2 dishes of very tasty and fresh vegetables....cauliflower cheese, carrots, red cabbage, long stem brocolli. This is all included plus a drink each. Have a dessert, they are worth it. Amazing value, very friendly service and full of original features.

First time trying this pub after being recommended. When we arrived I asked for 2 high chairs but was told they only had 1 available, annoying but we made it work. Service was slow, we ordered drinks & food at the same time. I asked for the children’s food to come out with the starters, this didn’t happen. We had soup to start, served with a bread roll but no butter. Starters were nice. Mains came out, no children’s meals, asked and was told no children’s meals were ordered, we definitely did. The lady then went back and said yes but the ticket was all messed up so they got missed. I had roast beef, it was so tough, the roast potatoes were not crispy but dry and burnt. I did tell the staff I didn’t like my meal when they came to check on everything, they offered to change it but I declined. They did take my meal off the final bill. Puddings were lovely & nicely presented. I think this could be an excellent pub, but things need improving.

Four of us had a superb meal at The Griffin. We had booked a table, but arrived an hour early which wasn’t a problem. our starters were really good, but the steaks that followed were seriously good. Our waiter, Stuart, was very friendly and extremely efficient. We have already booked to visit again next month.

We went there as a group of about 20. We had given our orders in advance but the service was appalling. Had to wait a really long time for each course. Food was passable. The cold dessert was brought out on hot plates and most people had finished theirs before their companions was brought out. After waiting for ages we had to remind them that we had ordered tea and coffee. This was brought out one at a time and most people had left by the time the last one was served. There only seemed to be 2 young kids looking after everything. It was also very cold in the room.

Absolutely outstanding food, first time in 15+ years that I’ve gone out to dinner and been blown away with the quality and cooking skill of the food, amazing worth the 45mins travel time, well done Stuart and team for a job well done. Xx

Great local pub. Cozy atmosphere, great food and service.

Lovely discovery! We will be back Fabulous food Great welcome Friendly Good service Veg was included just not pictured!

excellent staff friendly the food is to die for

Really nice food and atmosphere. The decorations and interior are really unique and beautiful creating a nice,cozy and warm feeling. I would recommend.

Group of four, we had beef, vegetarian wellington and two chicken dishes. Accompanied by, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, green beens, carrots all well cooked, tasty and plentiful. For desert several home made apple crumble with custard and chocolate brownie. Less than £25 a head but we didn't purchase any alcoholic drinks. It was cosy comfortable and relaxed with friendly staff. Hight recommended.

Lovely atmosphere as we were a large group Waiters friendly and efficient Food was very good but only 2 very small potatoes with my main course

Friendly, efficient staff and excellent meals when our small group stopped here for lunch. Lovely and warm on chilly winter’s day Thoroughly recommended.

Really good Sunday roast dinner! My friend had the lamb, and I had beef. Both portions were generous and very well cooked. The meat came with roast potatoes, turnip, broccoli, fine green beans, carrots, a lovely cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pud and gravy. We had the cheesecake and brownie with vanilla ice-cream as desserts, followed by coffees. Great service and delicious meals and good value. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Called for a late lunch on way home from Northampton, very nice warm welcome good choice of meals available. Delicious food surrounding and service.

The food was delicious and the gluten free options available were also delicious. Service was attentive and good. We had a very enjoyable, all the family pre Christmas meal.

The meal was barely warm and not that special. Such a shame.

Family Sunday lunch. We'll priced for food, cosy country pub atmosphere. Perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. Slight negatives - roast potatoes not crisp & beef not pink (altho this is my own preference). Staff friendly, helpful. Would revisit as had an enjoyable experience in the main.

Oh, how I wish all pubs were like this. All was excellent from the moment we walked in (late). The service was superb throughout, with smiling, helpful and knowledgeable staff. We were served at a good pace, neither rushed nor waiting overlong, and nothing we asked for was too much trouble. And then, of course, there is the food. This was roast at its best, everything cooked well and a lovely variety of vegetables. I know of many other pubs that would benefit from coming to visit the Griffin and learn how to run a pub restaurant. The desserts were equally as good. This was an excellent value meal and for us, a great find. We will be back soon - only this time we will endeavour to arrive on time. A heartfelt thank you all round.

Great find Live in sywell and will be back !

Lovely discovery! We will be back Fabulous food Great welcome Friendly Good service Veg was included just not pictured!

Superb quality food. Pie and a pint Tuesday not to be missed.

Excellent Sunday lunch, great menu choice, great price. Good selection of vegetables and good portion sizes. Very busy which is nice to see but they were possibly a bit short staffed so service just a little slow. But would definitely not let it put me off going again and again. Thank you

We visited for lunch and the food dishes we had ranged from very poor to mediocre. My wife’s parmesan and pea risotto resembled a thick & stodgy porridge and was inedible. To make matters worse, the young man who was serving us had a really bad attitude when I checked to make sure we weren’t being charged for the risotto. Will not be returning.

5 of us lunched on October 28th. and had a really good time. We had the senior citizens' menu - excellent value at £12.95 for 3 courses. Food lovely, well presented, helpful staff and pleasant surroundings. 5 stars for the chips! Will definitely return.

Lovely food , good value and friendly, efficient staff.

A typical English pub nestled in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. A select daily menu with a well priced senior citizens 3 course choice but lots of specials on the boards. Food was decent and the vegetables were freshly cooked and crunchy. Service was passable. Tied it once and ticked a box but I will provably venture elsewhere next time.

been twice food excerlant prices ok but the service terrible I dont know where the waitress went too she just disappeared ever time you wanted something you had to go and find her I asked for the menu twice other customers said the same pity we might try again to see if its any better third time luky

We have been here quite a few times and had the most amazing Sunday dinners and evening meals. Its by far one of our favourites, the food is just beautiful! However we came for the tapas night and it was so different which was a shame. Its definitely not tapas food, didn't taste great and therefore was very disappointing. The restaurant was empty which should have let us know as it's always been packed previously. However the service was great as always. We will absolutely be back again but only for the traditional food which they excel in.

Good basic menu, very reasonable prices. Pleasant country style pub. Limited parking.

Just had a coke but the lads enjoyed the roast dinners 🦜🦆🐦🐤🐓🦃🐧🪿🐦‍⬛

Excellent value for money. The prices were a pleasant surprise, if they can do it why can't other pubs? Good basic pub grub but with an excellent steak menu. Good wine prices too. Pleasant, roomy dining room bit dated but clean and tidy. Wouldn't go for a special occasion but great for couples, gamily or friends midweek get together.

We have been here three times now as a family for Sunday dinner and it is the best we have eaten out. Generous portions of meat and so much fresh veg,cauliflower cheese and red cabbage - we haven’t yet been able to finish all the veg! Staff are really friendly and helpful and even swapped the roast potatoes for mash for my daughter. We would highly recommend Sunday lunch here and will be back.

Booked in for Saturday night dinner , 2 couples . Staff were all lovely and especially Holly in the bar ! Food was spot on and price was very good , £160 for 2 courses plus a dessert , bottle of wine , 4 Stella’s , cokes & 2 gins . Definitely recommend and will return

Good food, we all enjoyed our meals, reasonably priced. Great friendly service.

Absolute terrible food. Embarrassing to call it a restaurant. Will never step foot in there again. And anyone thinking of going there I strongly suggest you don't either

Haddock on main menu,great Chicken pie soggy, veg great. Dessert, great lemon meringue roulade Bread butter pudding nice.

I was so disappointed by my experience. It was a family reunion for my daughter returning from Vietnam on a brief visit. I even came for a meal a week ago to check out the venue and although the service was slow at times the food was fine. However our family meal was awful only tapas and steak although we thought we were coming to a full menu. The tapas menu was inedible in parts and I need to stress we are not fussy eaters. The steaks were mixed up and not cooked as requested. The service was lovely people, but again inadequate, no condiments brought, sauces requested brought near the end of the meal , food brought out over a lengthy period, wine glasses not brought, drinks requested never arrived. I booked the venue to create memories and I was so upset having to apologise to my family and paying a bill for food that was not up to standard.

Brought a party of 8 to The Griffin on a Tuesday. We had a choice of Tapas menu or Steak menu. It would be thoughtful to put this on the website for Tuesdays. Two of our party got the wrong steaks. The tapas olives were not nice. The potatas bravas was inedible. The service was slow, although friendly and polite. The vegetarian option of aubergine Wellington was good but had beetroot in it. The chips were good.

Excellent food and brilliant service the Sunday roast is a must fresh veg served at the table. Location is beautiful staff are friendly

Decided to go out for a decent Sunday roast for a change and chose the Griffin. Never been before. Staff very friendly and informative of menu, what was available and alternatives. Seated in restaurant area. I had the roast beef, partner had lamb. Generous portions, plenty of veg in seperate dishes. I did struggle to eat all of mine, what I didn't eat he did. Still had a pudding, couldn't resist. very nice, polite staff, good service, no complaints. Don't know why we haven't been before.

Myself and my wife went to the the lobster crayfish and steak night today the food and service was absolutely outstanding and amazing value for money thank you guys we will definitely return.

Quaint country pub with a nice friendly atmosphere. We had Sunday lunch which was well cooked, nice presentation, good selection of fresh vegetables and fluffy Yorkshire puddings. Would definitely recommend and am going to do a return visit soon to sample their other menu options.

Four of us visited last night and we went for the steak and lobster sharing platter it was absolutely fantastic the steak was cooked to perfection and the service was great. We shall definitely be back

Good food, good beer, good service, great prices

Lovely pub, caring staff, and the portion size were massive. Great value for money...

We stopped here while on a bike ride. Sat outside in the sunshine with a well earned pint and bowl of chips. Lovely pub.

First time here and definitely returning. Had Sunday lunch and it's the best in a very long time. Food quality, value and service are excellent.

If you like steak, fish, or a traditional roast dinner, you won't be disappointed

First visit and it certainly won't be our last. Beautiful Sunday roast, fresh vegetables and plenty of gravy. Starters of whitebait and soup, both lovely. Our waiter, William, was great. Very polite and courteous young man, thank you we will definitely be back.

This is a fabulous place for sunday lunch, lovely fresh vegetables including cauliflower cheese & red cabbage. Being Gluten free can be difficult but The Griffin caters very well for us Coeliac's. The staff are amazing & work their socks off to make sure all your needs are met & despite being run off their feet today they were all still smiling & polite. Overall this is a lovely pub serving amazing food

We decided to pop into this Pub whilst out , and I’m glad we did. The welcome was great, the food was excellent, also the service. Will certainly be going there again.

Oh my goodness, incredible tapas tonight from the crew at The Griffin Inn, Pitsford. We loved, loved, loved it! So tasty, quality ingredients, all prepared and served by a fantastic chef and waiting team. Thank you guys, we will be back x

Old fashioned pub. Great atmosphere. Top quality ale at great prices. Staff couldn't be nicer. Had food in bar, never left a thing. Dogs welcome in bar. There is also a restaurant. Recommended for families. Can't wait to re-visit.

Welcoming village pub with well kept real ale.

Nice vibe but every dish was over cooked. Chateaubriand was dry and borderline well done

Lovely dinner here yesterday (Sunday) - 3 courses for £20.00 which is excellent value and the food was top notch. Highly recommend. We enjoyed that much we are booked in again for this Friday evening :-)

Had a lovely evening and food was good

Pie night Tuesday . We went last night 4 of us and it was lovely. Good service plenty of nice food and the dessert was wonderful. We will go back.

Really enjoyed Sunday Lunch at a reasonable price. Interesting wood carvings to entertain. Attentive service.

Excellent Sunday roast lovely staff everyone eating all said it was good food and a pleasant atmosphere will definitely visit again

Great local pub with good beer and food ☺️

Great little pub. Lovely food (festive menu) and even better service. Thank you.

Christmas Eve in the local. Lovely.

Not impressed by the quality of the food, very disappointed with the overall experience. Where do I start…rock hard veg, chewy roast potatoes or being told as whilst being seated that we have until 1:50pm to eat up and leave as they need the table, even after we’d BOOKED a week prior for that table. We booked here as the reviews were so good, but they must be written by others who have never ever had a roast dinner before or are people who can’t cook because ANYONE could have done better than what was served on Sunday. I understand the staff are busy, but don’t tell us that we need to be up and out ASAP then leave us when we’re ready to pay the bill and the head Waitress/floor manager fails to mention that we had to pay at the bar. Also whilst on the subject of the floor manager/head waitress, when I asked about the two choices of cuts of beef she had no clue FULL STOP. She had no knowledge of the food they were trying to serve. Simple solution she could’ve said give me a moment I’ll ask the chef, just very lacking in customer service unfortunately. To top off this was NOT a cheap meal. All in all, not great was very disappointed. Wouldn’t return anytime soon, especially not for food.

Lovely Sunday roast, friendly & cosy

Just come back from the Griffin @ Pitsford after Lovely meal. Congratulations to the chef lovely hot vegetables well cooked. Meat scrumptious book now!

Traditional pub with super friendly staff. Chose from the Christmas menu which was great value. Varied choice. Food was served piping hot and good portions Fish pie was 10/10. Will definitely return. By

Good and service was brilliant will be going again. X

We had a meal booked here for over 40 people for our walking group christmas dinner yesterday. The service was excellent and the food was superb. The whole group enjoyed it. Thank you for such a great meal for us all and your friendly service.

Excellent food and service. Thank you

We went here for some much needed sustenance after a heavy night prior lol and they were really friendly and accommodating, and the food was delish! Would recommend- although be mindful of the pretty small car park! And they can't deviate from the sunday menu

Cheapest ale I've recently seen.

Nice place, dog's allowed in bar area, we all had a good night there

We had our family get together here, and found the food and staff excellent, very enjoyable

Lovely food and friendly service. I will definitely go again. Thanks

The service and welcome and throughout was exceptional. And the food was also excellent. Definitely will be going again.

Been to this pub many times, as well as each Christmas we have a family meal here too. Never dissapoints, food always amazing, staff friendly and just a lovely cosy village pub! Highly reccomend X

Poor communication, staff had little knowledge, but were very pleasant, poorly cooked food, this was taken off the bill, but should never have been served. Was a smoked food night, but food had little or no smoked flavour. Will not be returning.

Very unhappy of the service and lack of knowledge /experience of the staff in dealing with customers. I am writing this with regards to myself and my husband's experience in both occasions we booked in this restaurant.

Brilliant atmosphere and wonderful service. The food was excellent and the beers great.

Another fantastic meal. Really nice food, so fresh and tasty! Service is great too and good selection of wines by the glass. Will definitely be back soon!

Great Sunday lunch, will be going back soon.

Delicious food, very cosy and friendly staff.

I didn't eat anything in the pub this week, however I was like a fly on the wall so to speak. A new chef is in the kitchen and it was a fairly busy night. Every single person that came up to the bar/pay the bill, were saying how good the food was. One group ordered every single item on the tapas menu and couldn't find fault with it. Praise indeed.

Sat outside and participated in the quiz had chat with the guy presenting was really pleasant evening so going back this Sunday

Excellent lunch time menu, with plenty of choice. Quality of food also excellent.

When every aspect of a visit is spot on, you know that you'll be back. Great, friendly service, really good steaks, and a cosy atmosphere - yet big, well spaced apart tables. And the crazy thing is that people still go to a Miller & Carter! Wake up and support small businesses like the Griffin Inn - you won't regret it, and they will be grateful that you did.
