The Hind Hotel in Wellingborough

The staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodation had been recently modernised. The breakfast was adequate, though its presentation lacked care and attention to detail. Sadly the hotel is in need of basic maintenance: our toilet and shower did not work properly so we had to be given access to another room. Two of our room windows were screwed shut, and the hardware on the third window, which did open, was hanging off. There was mould on the shower tile grouting. The entrance to our room, directly from the courtyard car park, needed to be swept and weeded.

Well what can I say Lindsey was fantastic she made my afternoon fantastic and she knows her music it was a pleasure to spend time here

They do a great breakfast deal of 2 for £10 including tea or coffee. Great quality food too!

Very nice Spanish young woman as bar staff.

Staff were super friendly. When you first enter the hotel it looks old and fitting with the period it was built. I went into the room and was pleased to see the room was modern and clean. Fantastic standard. The car park is a little diffic

Won tickets for Willy Wonka tea party and then got turned away. Manageress was very rude.

Lovely modern and clean room. Restaurant wasn't open due to staff illness but reception were very helpful in recommending somewhere alternative to eat. Very pleased with our stay

Beautiful building. My room was very small and had many spiders. Didn't have an iron. The breakfast was brilliant

Really excellent food and service for a society celebration. I was very impressed.

Fine. Lovely old, well kept building. Food good, service good, area in county, good.

Fabulous afternoon tea would definitely recommend

Booked for afternoon tea for mother's day. Took a while sorting our table out for us but got seated and served our hot drinks quickly. However we then waited 40 minutes for the food to arrive which was all ok just not to the usual good standard we've had here before. We saw lots of people waiting a long time for their food or to be seated and you have to feel sorry for the very hard working staff on that day as clearly management had over booked for the number of staff their was to be able to cope with

A good location in Wellingborough, nice comfy and upscale bar area with a great level pool table at the back. Usually have a beer like Doom Bar or Landlord on too.

A piece of History in the heart of Wellingborough. I love old buildings so I'm biased but this is a great place to visit or have a beer

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Wellingborough. It sells standard British food, but of a reasonable standard (no complaints like some other reviews). The interior is warm and inviting, good selection of drinks and the nicest, friendliest staff you'll ever meet. The patrons were also friendly and it was easy to spend a couple of hours chatting with an ale.

Good Friday: Not so "good" if you work for The Hind... Understaffed is an understatement and I suspect this meant management didn't have to pay premium rates to too many staff for working a bank holiday. The lass who served us was great... When she actually got around to serving us. Not her fault, big bar areas, busy on a Friday, close to the busy town centre on market day and one person working the bar! Not somewhere I would rush back to but not the fault of the staff on duty, the failings are higher up the management chain and they are due a shake-up... And they deserve it!

after the long wait for the food "first food order 5.30pm "the food came out partly cold sausages were reheated from the morning breakfast "tasteless leathery and hard" hunters chicken was dry and ive never had bbq sauce and bacon with no taste before ,that takes some feat ,only redeeming feature was the triple cooked chips presentation "well what Presentation" when you see food you want it to look amazing and taste amazing ,this did nether . i was really looking forward to my meal after the wait ,but felt let down by the whole thing ,it was made by someone "and i wont use the Chef word" who just does not care about the food coming out of the kitchen ,the meal could have been a cheap microwave meal" actually i think that would have at least have some taste " reheated breakfast sausages a no no , try doing fresh i could not ,in all honesty recommend to anyone .

The Hind Hotel Sheep Street, Wellingborough, It is an old hotel The food and the drink in here is good, The staff are friendly and polite, It is said that Oliver Cromwell's ghost is here in one of the rooms he stayed here in The English Civil War

Been using hotel for years was happy until now. Last time I stayed my daughter who has high functioning autism ripped some of the wall paper which was actually already ripped a little, they charged me £50 which was ok happy to pay which I did pay. I wanted to stay again they won’t let me return because my of autistic child. It’s a disgrace my daughter is non verbal and don’t understand nothing. Absolutely disgusted she is only 4 years old.

I went to the Hind's second evening of vegan food. The meal was delicious and very well presented. They are gradually incorporating vegan food into their daily menu.

All the staff were very friendly & couldn't do enough to help us. In fact we are thinking of having our shared 50th birthdays there they were that good.

We stayed a couple of nights here and had a warm welcome by all the staff they were all friendly ,helpful ,efficient and happy in their roles it was a pleasure to see ,we ate in the restaurant and the bar and everything was lovely .Thank you.

I booked to take my family for lunch on Saturday, there were 10 of us. The service we received was excellent from the moment we arrived. After ordering drinks at the bar we were shown through to the restaurant and given plenty of time to decide what we wanted to eat from either the daily specials or main menu. There was plenty of choice including gluten and dairy free options. Everything was freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were always on hand if we needed anything, everyone was very friendly and helpful including the chef who came to check everything was ok. It was also amazingly good value and definitely didn’t break the bank. We all thoughly enjoyed visitng the Hind and would go again.

Stayed one night, staff not very welcoming. Stated dog friendly but for the extra £20 they did not even acknowledge the dog. Undergoing renovations which was not a problem. We did not feel like guests, it seemed all a bit of a chore. Sadly we will not stay there again.

Good & friendly service, very tasty lunch & a good choice on the menu. Some traditional pub lunch dishes!

I stayed for one, night mid-week, the bedroom I had was a lovely modern, clean room, with a nice walk -in shower and very comfortable bed and quiet at night, all the staff seemed very friendly. The Hotel carparking was not available, but advised by staff when I eventually got through via telephone (as not answered on previous attempts to call) that I could park my car in the council car park, as the hotel have an agreement with the council. The afternoon I arrived I tried to call the Hinde to check if I was parking in the right location and again the 'phone just rang and rang with no answer, I arrived at reception very shortly afterwards to see the receptionist talking in the bar area, it was mentioned nobody was answering the 'phone and she just laughed! It's good to see this lovely Hotel is being renovated but the workmen stand just outside the main entrance doorway and smoke, which is not nice for people arriving as the smoke is wafting into the hotel, which is your first impression. The evening meal was fried buffet, didn't look very good so decided to eat out, breakfast wasn't very good either. If I need to stay in Wellingborough again I would come back as would like to see the completed build work, I am sure it's going to look fantastic,

Went for afternoon tea with a group of people. We were put in a really awful, gloomy, room - which was more like a large store room. More effort could be made to make the room more welcoming. The food was ok, but not lavish nor particularly interesting. You expect to be a bit spoilt with afternoon tea, but it was pretty basic. Plenty of hot drinks, but in help-yourself jugs, no waiter in attendance.

The Hind is a delightful old inn dating back to the 1700s and allegedly housed Cromwell and a few ghosts. We did not have the pleasure of viewing any ghosts but enjoyed our thoroughly comfortable room with modern facilities which was down many winding passages. Staff were pleasant and efficient, breakfast in the vast dining room was first-rate, and the hotel is well-placed to explore the town.

We usually call in here for a drink as it is one of the nicer places to sit for a drink in town, prices no dearer than a pub, hoping to try the sunday carvery next week. It always looks clean and tidy.The only down side is very occasionally the music is a bit on the loud side, and we have walked in and out again.

This must be one of the oldest pubs in Wellingborough, in the courtyard you can just imagine the old coach and horses drawing up on their way to London. Currently been done up so bear with them.

Visited for lunch as we fancied a change from Weatherspoons and Costello Lounge, it was busy but we were served quickly, I ordered a tuna and cheese melt and husband had the full English breakfast, my melt was just a sandwich with a bit of salad, I was expecting it to be as described on the menu ! The breakfast had the smallest sausage and and one rasher of burnt bacon! Was a real shame, as their Sunday carvery is always lovely, unfortunately we won't be back.

I have popped in her twice recently as the 1st time the food and service was lovely so decided to pop back in again a second time, this was just as good as the 1st visit. The restaurant was busy which isn't surprising as it's good value for money the meals are just the right size for a lunch time and the food is freshly prepared and cooked. Home made thick cut chips at lunch time wow you normally get frozen at most places.Would recommend for anyone in the area but turn up early otherwise you may be disappointed.

Dropped into the restaurant for a light snack and drink. Food was over half an hour before being delivered to the table. Pouched eggs on toast with chips. All three eggs were stone cold as was the toast and plate. Chips were burnt black to a crisp, looked like they had be left on the side for quite sometime and then quickly dumped into the fat to warm them up. Tried to get the attention of staff but with no luck. Then left standing by the till for a longtime watching other customers being served!! This is not the first time. I don't blame the staff, they as usual in these places were rushed off their feet. More staff required if you want retain customers? Not been too bad the other times I have eaten there. I'm afraid like others have said to me, I will also be looking for somewhere else to eat in future.

We had heard a few good things about the carvery, so we thought we’d try it. . A couple of us thought the carvery was ok, the other couple didn’t enjoy it at all. Not a lot of meat, potatoes needed more cooking and stuffing was hard. None of it was hot. The veg was nice. Service was slow and the staff made me feel a little uncomfortable. The meals off the menu were very disappointing especially for the price. They’d run out of some of the food on the menu.

Had hoped it would be more than what found, but from the outside look olde world style and it wasn’t that sort of ambiance once you were inside.

Visited here for the first time with friends around 14:15, we were going to eat and realised they had a Sunday carvery on which was perfect as we were starving! We asked the waitress if we were in time and she advised it was fine to go through. We went through to a separate room, part of the hotel I believe and took a seat. No one was manning the carvery table for the meat and the bowls were pretty much empty. A lady came over and gave us a menu, said the carvery comes out with fresh vegetables and the chef will be out shortly to sort the meat out. We waited a few minutes and a young lad came out with various items, plates, meat etc. He was continuing to bring these items out on his own and eventually stood behind the table to carve the meat. We queued up and took our plates (had to swap two as they were dirty). I had beef, they only gave me two small slices, a friend had beef and pork, around 5 slices. I wish I had asked for two different meats now.On my plate I had potatoes, which some were so big they weren't even cooked through, a hard Yorkshire pudding (last one left) a pig in blanket which looked anemic and the last bit of Cauliflower cheese and some gravy.I couldn't eat some potatoes or the sausage and had to leave half my Yorkshire pudding. We waited for our fresh vegetables but then our food was going cold so we decided to eat it. I was finished with my meal before the vegetables were served so I may as well have had them as dessert.I can safely say I won't be returning, nor recommending a roast dinner from there to anyone. It's such a shame as its a local place that should be able to serve a decent meal.

Our family visited here for a Saturday night meal. Although the service was quite good the table had bread crumbs left on it from the previous customer's. The meals were small portions and the chips soggy

The staff are friendly and nothing's too much trouble...The hotel is amazing and the bar and selection of food are excellent...

I visit the Hind Hotel every month. Currently under new ownership and undergoing some refurbishment, this beautiful hotel has been in wellingborough for hundreds of years. It was used in the English Civil War as a billet for the Roundhead (republican) soldiers to take part in The Battle of Naseby, just a few miles away. The Naseby battlefields are still there with a visitor centre (located off the A14. The Hind Hotel serves really tasty food, is well presented in Wellingborough town centre, within easy reach of main travel routes. Well worth a visit if you enjoy English 16/17th genuine buildings. Well worth a visit.

While staying at the Hind we enjoyed both the inside old pub feeling very good food and drink and the outside tables over looking the market square a must try in this interesting city

On arrival the building appears very dated and some decor in communal areas had me concerned.

What can I say I'd recommend this wonderful hotel to everyone...The staff are all amazing and bend over backwards to try and accommodate your requirements...

Staying at the Hind, so tried the food there. The bar was busy and I was lucky to get a table. One dish (jacket potatoes) was off, so had Scampi and Chips and nachos to start, with Greene King to wash it down.

Lovely bar. Dog friendly. Fantastic friendly service and lovely hot tasty food. Would definitely come again.

We enjoyed a some beers in this pub. This pub looks great from the outside at night too for a photo.

Brilliant service, and nicely located. Would definitely recommend! The staff are very friendly and served us very politely and well. They also host events and disco nights, so the entertainment is for everyone. They even have a pool table room!

Went to the Hind with some friends recently for a Sunday lunch. The surroundings were beautiful, the staff and service excellent, but the food was not good. The vegies were too tough to eat, which was such a shame. Hope they can do better next time.

Popped in for breakfast as a change from the ubiquitous W***********s. Very pleasantly surprised. An excellent, good value breakfast, great sausage and bacon. Very pleasant surroundings, friendly efficient staff. Followed it up with a lunchtime visit a few days later. The local crowd seems to have changed, having gone pleasantly 'up-market', with the place being well attended by couples and groups having a civilised lunch.

This was a Groupon offer and excellent value for money. Delicious finger style sandwiches, cakes and scones accompanied by a glass of prosecco. Perfect Lovely staff

Having passed this hotel over many years, I decided to try it at long last. Reviews seemed pretty good and so I thought, lets look at the menu.

I had a very nice afternoon tea here, although it was a bit less imaginative than some other places now offer, comprising just white bread sandwiches and cake. The building though is stunning, very old and recently renovated. The room in which we ate afternoon tea was beautiful.

I went a long for lunch with my girlfriend, her nan and great grandmother, I'll get the negative out the way first if you're in a wheelchair or can't climb stairs don't bother coming here getting my girlfriends great grandmother up two stairs was painful and she's mobile for her age.

Vine aquí con mi hija en ley para el té de la tarde. El personal era deficiente. No muy acogedor o atento. La música del bar de al lado era tan fuerte a veces que no era propicia para tener una agradable charla y té. Los bocadillos eran bastante básico, aunque el pan estaba recién hecho. La presentación estuvo bien, pero no muy abundante. Francamente, he comido mejor en otro lugar.

Visitamos el Pensándolo ahora para una oferta vintage merienda groupon que tenía por un presente. La zona de la cafetería parecía bastante agradable, pero nos llevado a través de la zona de bar, donde todos los clientes habituales se congregan y pub sentarse, pino y flores artificiales en conos de la decoración de las mesas. Yo tenía una opción libre de gluten, pan muy seco y rellenos de jamón y tomate, Sosa, con cebolla, queso mínimo atún y tienda trajo sin gluten tartas gratis. No podía esperar a salir del lugar y no se lo recomendaría a cualquiera!

Tenía ganas de comer en un hotel embrujado. Sin mi carne se robaron mi plato? Sin ser alterado mi bebida? No, la comida y la bebida estaba bien, gracias, pero me pidieron, y concedió permiso para visitar las habitaciones realmente encantada y que era un excelente regalo. Sin duda volvería.

Oferta de groupon para cuatro. Primero déjeme decir que el personal era increíble. Educado, servicial y amable. Servicio no nos podemos quejar. La comida es muy buena. Opción de cerdo de ternera o pavo o opción para vegetarianos. Todos hemos probado cada opción y de acuerdo en que todo era comida de calidad. Todos los adornos y las verduras, el queso fue súper sabroso de coliflor. Usted puede tener todo lo que puedas comer. Vimos algunos subir tres veces, así que el mayor apetito se satisface. Tres de nosotros tuvimos entradas, todo muy bonito. Tuve postre, una caseras cayera con natillas. Sin duda nos mire a volver. Este fantástico edificio histórico necesita apoyo local y vale la pena ir a almorzar solos.

Yo no suelo escribir comentarios, pero me pareció que tenía que escribir y decir lo que una experiencia que tuve con mi madre y sus amigos hoy. Había reservado un grupo de vale por 4. Cuando preguntamos si podíamos tener reserva simple y bollos dijeron estaba bien harían ellos especialmente, ya que son normalmente de frutas. A la llegada de nuestra mesa fue creado y listo. Nos obsequiaron con dos tazas de té y poco después llegó nuestra comida encantadora. Los bocadillos eran sabrosas y elección del pastel variado. Los bollos fiel a palabra eran sencillas con ollas de mermelada y nata. No podíamos comer todo y me dieron una caja con llevar las sobras. El personal era encantador, y sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré.

Not familiar with the place my daughter booked us in for afternoon tea here.It needs to be known that it was cheap so no harm done but for losing an hour of our life that can never be recovered. The sandwich slices were of the cheapest sort of bread. The toppings ham, cheese and tuna - not much taste.We did not eat more than one slice of each to be polite. The cakes - there were 2 macaroons we. did not touch these. A brown cake with some cream topping was nice enough and most certainly the best thing on the plate.Two almond slices - my daughter ate a bit of one but it was not great.2 scones of very poor quality with only a small amount of clotted cream.The place itself makes you feel dirty - it is in such desperate need of repair that it is painful to look around. Furnishings are cheap and tatty.On the up side - The staff were lovely.The tea was bottom less but I did have to leave my seat to hunt someone down to give us a refill. No we will not be back!

Nos alojamos en Wellingborough e hicimos unas compras y visitar a unos amigos. Compras mientras disfrutamos de un almuerzo en la Pensándolo ahora. El servicio, el personal era muy pompt eficiente y la comida era muy buena.

We had received a 'Groupon' voucher for this hotel. On booking I asked for the tea to be non-dairy due to intolerance. It could not have been better. The meal was specially prepared for us and included cakes that were absolutely delicious. Instead of the usual sandwiches, scones and cup cakes we had a lovely salad with lots of biscuits for cheese and specially prepared cakes. The chef even came out to explain what he had done! It was all absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend this hotel/restaurant to anyone.

I stayed with my girlfriend for two nights, when we got to our room we noticed it was very cold and the radiators were off. The decor was tired, dated and dirty, the carpet was filthy, stained and also soaking wet by the side of the bed, there was also no wifi connection. We then asked to be moved to a different room, they apologised and moved us to another room.only to find that the heating did not work in this room either. All in all this hotel is no where near worth the 70-80 pounds charged for a nights stay in this dark cold and damp run down hotel.

Everything was good,checking in,car parking,room,Polite staff,but unfortunately we were woken at 5 am!!!!!!!!! By a delivery lorry,delivering linen!!!!Eventually got back to sleep and had a very good breakfast,next morning,restaurant staff very pleasant Checked out and commented about being woken at a very early hour,to be told they had experienced complaints about the laundry lorry before and would speak to the company again to get it rectified,we left and returned home,where I emailed them expressing my dissatisfaction,but because I had all ready paid for the room,I didn't have any leavverage to get a discount. I was somewhat surprised they didn't respond to my email To sum up an old hotel,which needs decorating,but central to Wellingborough, reasonable room,and cost,good breakfast,but not interested in your commentts

this hotel isin great need of love and attetion receptionist needs to learn howto listen and speak to people

Went in with only 15 mins of service remaining. Nice welcome. Very pleasant staff. Fast service. Very tasty food.Will definitely return.

My wife and I visited the Hind for an afternoon tea using a voucher deal. The hotel oozes olde worlde charm on the outside but the bar where we ate was bland to say the least - the hotel should create some atmosphere to match the outside. The staff were quite charming, full of smiles and very attentive. The afternoon tea, by contrast, was a little sad. The finger sandwiches were totally uninspired - processed ham, cheese and tuna. The scones with jam and cream were quite nice and the cake selection was also quite nice. Afternoon tea is supposed to be an indulgence, an experience, but ours was alas very ordinary. The hotel does a good range of quite interesting bar menu sandwiches - why not use some of those fillings for the finger sandwiches and ditch the ham/cheese/tuna? We had a good pot of tea and a jug if coffee and these could be refilled if requested, a nice touch. But the hotel needs to make its afternoon teas as cheering as the staff who serve them. Also while we ate, workmen were wandering around to update the speaker system. Hardly something that would add to the overall ambience!!!

Me and my daughter came here for afternoon tea for her birthday on a groupon deal. Afternoon tea for 2 with processco for £17. We was Served by a lovely friendly lady, sandwiches were lovely and fresh and all the cakes and cream scones were delicious. Everything was presented well with a nice salad garnish.Generous amounts compared to other afternoon teas we've had. Would definitely recommend

I booked an afternoon tea at The Hind Hotel in Wellingborough as it has recently undergone refurbishment and I was eager to have a look for myself. We were shown to our table by a very polite young lady, We were however disappointed that our table was in the bar area , not really the best setting for an afternoon tea , the atmosphere was also marred by the very loud "Night Club" type music being played which made it at times difficult to hear each other speak. Having got that off my chest , The table was beautifully set with a pretty flower arrangement and pretty miss matched china. The tea was presented very attractively and each item was explained to us by the same very helpful young lady. Every thing was very fresh and plentiful , the sandwiches were garnished with a very crisp salad ,In all a very pleasant tea.

Very old building not too clean inside meal was ok not great for the price service was good won't go there again I'm afraid

WiFi free Parking is nearby in Morrisons 3 hrs max or car park which is free all day.Dog friendlyAll day breakfast well prepared and good value. No rush service. Staff very polite and friendly. Seen some negative reviews here. But this is not fine dining restaurant it is a good middle of a range hotel at decent prices especially if you are entertaining a large group.Thanks everyone.

Went there recently for a 3 course family dinner, we were told it was a carvery but food was brought to us by waitress. Starter was a very cheap pate. Main course meat was turkey and beef. Turkey tasted like plastic and the beef was so raw and tough that it was very difficult to cut and most of our guests left it. The accompanying vegetables were luke warm and undercooked. Did have a choice of pudding and most choose 'boozy trifle' - most insipid trifle I have ever tasted in my life and again most people left it. Cost was £23 a head, not even worth a tenner. On the positive side waitress were very friendly. Take a look at your kitchen staff!!!!

Thanks to my wonderfully kind bosses myself and my colleagues have an all expensive so paid evening at Christmas time. Last year we had this event at The Hind Hotel. It was a carvery served on hot plates, you chose what you woukd like and it was carved into your plate, lovely, but this year..... The service was abysmal at the bar, staff moaning if you didn't have the right money, and taking for ever to serve you!! Then the 'carvery' was served on stone cold plates , not even sure what the stone cold meat was on the said plate and the vegetables I feel were cooked well in advance should I say?!? When the 'trifle' came it was a bowl of chocolate blancmange with a dollop of 'something' on the top!! Most people on my table refused point blank to eat it!! A lady with grey hair was overseeing the event but made no attempt to find out why this was ?? How can a well established venue go down hill soooo far in just 12 months?? My bosses must have paid a lot of money for this and I feel they were conned BIG time!!! Wouldn't recommend The Hind to anyone, sorry

Looked ok, went in, four people behind bar faffing with napkins. Ignored us. We walked out. Found a friendly Italian around the corner, are there.

Staff asked on three occasions to cater for vegetarian \ gluten free dispite asking on the day , served fish sandwich ( tuna I think , when I asked the lady had no clue that a vegetarian does not eat fish , worse the manager of bar ( Lyndsey ) did not know the difference between a vegetarian and Pescatarian - she actually stated most vegetarian eat fish ? Therefore in her mind she is aware some don't yet failed to ask me. Very rude saying I should tell them I don't eat fish ? Is is having a laugh I did by saying I am vegetarian it's not my issue if your uneducated , considering your serving food and person have already informed you she is a vegetarian an gluten free is it not your duty to check ? Also know the difference between a vegetarian and Pescatarian? . I could not eat anything because I was sure it food was gluten free and vegetarian even though she changed it I was worried if they understood clearly not as Lindsay confirmed she did not know the difference . I felt really sick putting that 's close to my mouth it's only luck I saw some of the fish outside the sandwich before eating it , think it's ridiculous that someone is running a kitchen and doesn't understand the basic principles with serious food restrictions - it's not acceptable and frankly Th staff were very rude and unprofessional

on first arriving in room i thought very basic in need of decor first thought was no toiletries in bathroom wallpaper needs doing, but after exploring the place it comes to mind its having a lot of revamping some of the rooms are beautiful to look at very steeped in history dating back to cromwell times, dinner in the evening was brill and served by some really friendly staff it also has a paronormal feel which amazes me so some of the chats in the hotel bar was brill overall a good stay.

Went here with my daughter for afternoon tea. Lovely selection of cakes which I personally think would have been nicer served on a cake stand instead of a slate. The sandwiches were exceptionally nice. Loved the vintage style crockery.

Nice place and lovely staff. The cakes were a little dry but plenty of them and the sandwiches were good. Nice teapot and tea cups but rest served on a slate - cake stand would have been a nice touch. Overall had a good time - nice natter with friends and would go back but maybe just order a sandwich.

Me and my partner had huge problems with a travel lodge and phoned this hotel in the hope they had a room. When we arrived the guy on reception put us in a quiet room as there was a wedding going on. So please it did go wrong with the travel lodge as this place was so amazing the room was lovely bed was huge and breakfast included for £39 will definitely be staying here again staff were also lovely. Thank you all so much.

Really friendly efficient service. Good selection of sandwiches which tasted really fresh. The scones where warm with jam and clotted cream and a plentiful supply of cakes. Also a continuous supply of tea.

I had never been to this hotel/restaurant/café before, and only visited after treating a friend to Afternoon Tea through Groupon. The hotel feels a little like a hostel when walking in.... very basic, and some interesting characters nearby. The staff seemed friendly and although we had to ask constantly for things - they were attentive.The sandwiches and cakes tasted really very nice, and I was pleasantly surprised by the vintage looking tea set and plates it was all served on. The only point I would make, was that we ordered a prosecco afternoon tea, and although we were asked if we would like the prosecco first, tea was never given to us. We waited throughout eating most of the food, before I asked her about the tea - I would have thought tea could have been served with the Afternoon Tea.For £17 for two people on groupon, I couldn't grumble - I just think I was expecting a little better service for a 'hotel' and perhaps a nicer atmosphere. But for £17 it was adequate and the food was nice. Before you go, check out parking, as it is extremely strict around there - lots of parking tickets on cars, but I think they do have a small car park.

Stood at the bar with my son for 5 mins with a tenner in my hand while 3 staff behind the bar served 1 customer nobody acknowledged us The customer they were trying to serve had a change query and all 3 staff were trying to work out the change of £20 for a £12.90 lunchThe black looked full of down and outs and toilets were a disgrace We came back from toilets and stood at the bar for a further few mins then one-off the 3 staff who were still trying to work out the change came and sat on the customer side of the bar and ordered herself a drink was served straight away by the other two who 15 mins on had still not sorted out the change for their customer !!!!What a place Dreadful staff How any of them got employed is beyond me !!

A friendly place to grab a quick bite to eat in the centre of Wellingborough. The food was reasonably priced, decent and arrived quickly.

Been to Cromwell's inside the Hind Hotel several times since it moved from further down the road when it was called Ollie's. Each time our visit has been so so but the food is generally ok. Last time we visited had a minor issue with the food and we put it down to new location bedding in. Today we ordered a panini and I had chicken and bacon salad. Whilst we were waiting for our food, the couple on the table opposite were refunded their fish dish and we hoped ours would be OK. When our food arrived, the panini was excellent but the salad was dry, I had to ask twice for the Dijon mayo and even when it came it had no taste of Dijon, pure white mayonnaise and was the smallest tea spoon sized portion for a whole chicken breast. The salad was very tasty but I wanted what is ordered to spice up the salad.The food here is generally good, but I think the front of house staffing and attention to detail is letting the cafe down and needs to be addressed. We both preferred it in the old location as a cafe rather than in the bar. After several visits to new location and not having faultless service, I think we will give it a miss next time.

I booked a Groupon deal for afternoon tea and this was my first visit. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We loved the afternoon tea, the warm scones were delicious. Will definitely be back again to eat as the menu and specials looked good and very reasonably priced. Saw the fish and chips come out and that looked yummy. The comments I heard around me were all very positive as guests enjoyed their food.

80th birthday meal, I was allowed the cavaliers room for free, and could decorate it with banners, photos, balloons. The hind decorated the table for free. Brill room, oak beams, antique furniture, I had asked about music, so we brought our own speakers and had Sinatra as background. The food, service, and drinks were all delivered on time, tasty and every one was so impressed with having our own room, it was like an evening at a stately home, surrounded by family and friends. We will all be back. Fantastic night. Anyone thinking of group night/special event look no further.

The Hind hotel offers a three course menue for there carvery on a Sunday afternoon. There is a mixture of traditional soups and soups with a more exotic flavour as one of the choices for a starter. These are well presented with a pleasant taste. The carvery itself has a variety of vegetable dishes that are again well presented and cooked to a soft texture for those who prefer their vegetables soft to the bit. They were all very tasty and I would heartily recommend them especially the courgettes and the cauliflower cheese. The roast potatoes are just like home made ones the best roasties I have tasted. The meat is cooked to perfection it melts in your mouth, is succulent and tender. Over all this is the best carvery I have tasted so far. There is a variety of desserts we chose the Lemon posset which was very rich maybe a little less lemon would have been preferred for our taste buds but was none the less a very tasty treat and one we would be happy to try again. The service was great I did not feel at all rushed the waitressess were friendly and helpful as was the manager. The over all experience was delightful, good value for money and I would recommend this restaurant to others and will certainly use it again myself.

Booked a separate room with a large table (delightfully set) for a group of 20, where we all agreed both the food and service were excellent. A member of staff was always in attendance, that meant we had no reason to go 'find and seek' when we had a query. We ensured that our various lunch requirements were booked prior to attending, which was efficiently served; no-one having to wait. Various foods had been ordered, including lamb shank, lasagne (2x beef, 1x vegetarian), Hunter's chicken, steak & ale pie, scampi & chips and everyone made positive comments. We shall certainly we visiting again, either as a couple or large group.

Popped in here for a drink on a Saturday night and it was empty. I feel this place is now showing it s age and falling behind the times. The bar doesn't serve cocktails and didn't even have any prosecco. The toilets haven't been updated since I was a teenager. It's a real shame as the building is special and this place is of historical importance but it s really in need of someone getting hold of it and finding it s true potential. I know the clientele for this place is niche but I still feel it s lacking on so many levels. Co petition in Wellingborough is now on the up so please don't let this place fall behind any more than it already has ! Some one do something ...

We had our wedding reception here on Thursday 24th March in the Cromwell suit. Food was delicious staff very attentive and table decorated perfectly by Yvonne the event organiser.Made us feel welcome and helped make our day special.

Had a very good time, the staff were very attentive, very good value room & breakfast inc.Was there for Mothering Sunday lunch & was also my dads 82 birthday, food was excellent, service was great, Thankyou hind hotel to make this a memorable time.⭐️⭐️

Recently undergone refurbishment the Hind was run down but is recreating itself. Eating in the bar the menu offers good choice and our party of four was satisfied with our mid week meal. Not overly exciting but the place deserves support. Wellingborough lacks much entertainment but this is a good place to go for a pleasant meal out

I have visited this venue once with a colleague. We decided to have a coffee in the area downs stairs and were both given dirty cups with rings round them. My shoes stuck to the floor and it smells musty. The toilets are filthy and stink. I do not know who would eat here or even sleep here. Absolute dive! The entire decor inside and the hum of urine is absolutely off putting. This place could be so much better with some investment of ££££ , rip and gut the place, change the staff also. As they seem to be resurrected from the dead!, no motivation or foresight, come on this place needs a revamp! Time for a clear out all aspects.

We were a party of 18 and booked in for Sunday lunch at 1pm. We went to table soon after but orders for starters were not taken for about 25 min, and not served for another 15 min. They arrived but were not as described on the menu. For example, soup was supposed to be served with ciabatta roll but only standard sliced bread (as per supermarket) was offered. This had to serve as "toasties" for the prawns too.We gave up waiting for the table to be cleared and went to the carvery after 2pm. The roast beef was raw in the centre so not an option for many of us, having to settle for dry turkey and luke warm vegetables. This had to be eaten among the dirty dishes of the starters.Desserts were also a problem: staff seemed surprised to be asked for crumble though on our menu! Presumably we were supposed to choose from the cakes displayed on a counter next to a coffee machine without cover or chilling - despite their cream content. Not only unhygienic but surely unsafe! Most of us gave up.Even paying was a shambles: when we went to the place as directed, we were asked for our "ticket" - but nobody had been supplied with a "ticket". By the time "tickets" were supplied, another 15 min had passed. We were told the hotel was under new management and had improved. The new manager swanned around in scruffy baggy jeans. When told of our dissatisfaction, he apologised saying he would pass on our comments to the restaurant manager - but showed no interest in the details of our complaint. The staff were not trained, and simply unable to cope with the number of people booked in (200 we were told). Never again.

Nice Food, Good Service, and friendly Staff. Stayed for nearly 3 hours. Really enjoyable. We will be going again soon.

A group of friends had Sunday Lunch at The Hind. Very busy at lunchtime but the food was very good. Good centralized restaurant in the middle of Wellingborough so easy access. Recommended

The Hind is a charming historical pub on first impressions but the rooms need refurbishing as the carpets are worn and the bathrooms have stained sealant. Room 101 is directly above the kitchen so at 5.30 in the morning I was rudely awakened by the kitchen staff and it was impossible to sleep after that.That said - the staff members were very helpful and the breakfast was lovely.

Excellent Christmas dinner at the hind yet again from service to price,starters were beautifully presented , this year main meal and dessert was carvery style , brilliant idea as you had what you wanted in choice and quantity ,no restriction . Staff were so polite and helpful .Well done all .we had a 2 year old in our party and on arrival there were colouring pens an paper waiting on the table for her , ( kept her busy ) fantastic day thank you all .

Just had my first Christmas lunch of the year. I went with 49 members of Northants Fifty Plus. I didn’t hear one complaint. Very much the opposite. The food was first-rate. Hot and lots of it. The service was good. The staff enthusiastic and helpful.

In the absence of anywhere else to take my 10 year old granddaughter for an after-school dinner we found The Hind.When we opened the door to the restauant I felt like I'd been shot back into my vague memories of visiting a pub in the 60's as a small child. Having said that I do like the retro/vintage feel of places and much prefer a good old-fashioned pub but I actually don't think she place had been updated since the 60's!!The menu was varied, my granddaughter ordered tiger prawn skewers, I had BBQ chicken breast and we decided to start with Nachos. However it all arrived together and was a LOT of food. The Nachos could have fed two easier, disappointing though were the 'tiger' prawns which in fact where microscopic shrimps and the coleslaw on my dinner was...odd, bone dry - no sauce whatsoever.We waited over 25 minutes for the food to arrive but the waitress was a very charming young lady and you really could not fault her efforts to please us both.All in all I could not rate this place badly, there were just a few snags that some may fine more irritating than others.

First time in the Hind Hotel for years and not over impressed. Bar area was okay and staff friendly as were the staff in the carvery. Found the carvery room a bit depressing and the food a bit bland. Portions were good and if you want an unfussy school dinnerish Sunday lunch then the Hind will fulfill your needs. Cannot fault the staff.

Damp smelling room, tried to disguise with air freshener.no night latch on door as broken off ,toilet roll holder centre comes away as pin on end broken,tv remote sticky.good points great staff,good food reasonable room rate for what you get
