The Old Plough Inn in Daventry

Great pub and super friendly staff. 5 old mates(and CAMRA members) on a narrow boat trip last here 5 years ago. what a change! We had a lively evening with some hilarious banter with barperson/waitress Sianne. Steak and red wine meal deals good value and a pleasure to find a pub that didnt serve the dreaded Doombar. In Siannes words 'no self respecting pub should have Doombar'. Thoroughly recommended

Great food especially the fish dishes food quality more akin to a fancy restaurant but decent man sized portions. Friendly atmosphere dog friendly . Great service. Can’t fault it will definitely return .

Went here for the first time on 1/9/24 and the roast beef Sunday lunch was brilliant.Attentive staff and a good ambience 5* all round.Will be revisiting shortly.

Great light lunch and a pint of Timothy Taylor . Good selection on menu with excellent specials. Will be going back for evening meal very soon. Worthy of a 5 out of 5.

Wonderful, did friendly pub. Stated very close and ordered a takeaway carvery lunch to eat back at our accommodation. Could not fault this. Fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Probably one one the best takeaway roasts we have had. ❤️

Took a trip out to Braunston from Moulton, Northampton for a spot of lunch after being recommended ‘The Old Plough’ by a friend. Cannot fault the recommendation. Food was excellent in a bright and friendly atmosphere. Host was friendly and attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend the baked Cod Loin and the Cookie Dough Salted Caramel Crunch Pie for desert. Would definitely go again.

Very dog friendly staff and the food was delicious would recommend this to anyone both my husband and me enjoyed ourselves

A fabulous evening here with family for dinner. Many thanks to Colin and Lisa for their hospitality and excellent food. The dauphinois potatoes were delicious and the pork was melt in your mouth. Thanks again. Karan & William

Popped in whilst in the area, not enough staff for the current restrictions that are in place, waited for 10 minutes for my drinks order, and another 15 for it to arrive. Landlady I assume,was more interested in drinking and socialising than organising her business....

My husband and I had a nice evening meal at the Old Plough. I had the steak which was cooked just how I like it and hubby tried the veggie burger which he said was very tasty. Would recommend

This was our third time meeting up for lunch with a village walking group following a walk. We all felt very safe with the restrictions in place, table service etc. We had preordered but with 14 people it is not an easy task to get...

Excellent food and prompt service. Really good vfm. Will definitely visit again. My friends and I had the meat pie - delicious. A lovely large serving - almost defeated me. 😄

Had a very good pub meal at fantastic price. The Covid precautions were good, waitress wore mask all the time, and social distancing between tables.

I used to frequent the old plough braunston last year. I was never disappointed with the lovely homemade food. especially the lasagnas. i went in last thursday after booking a table. and found the service to be very poor and was made to feel unwelcomed...

We pass through Braunston on our canal boat. This pub was always on our visit list although it is less convenient to the canal being a short ten minute walk up a small hill. It has never let us down in the past,being a typical...

Two of us had Sunday lunch, we both had roast lamb. It was very good, plenty of meat and a variety of veg. also a yorky pudding. It was well presented and tasted good. Sachets of mint sauce but that it didn't spoil it.

Popped in for a drink and simply asked if we could order of the takeaway menu and eat outside 2 members of staff explained this wasnt possible, so we ordered from the main menu We were then approached by the landlord ranting and raving that...

Take Away heaven, in a pub that’s adapting its ways of working to ensure the local area and residents have an alternative to home cooking! This gem of a pub is always a favourite pre covid-19 but the take away menu is another fantastic at...

After visiting The Plough previously many times over the years and always had a a superb meal and a generally warm welcome I was very disappointed when last week my experience of the place was crushed. The food was terrible microwaved rubbish. No pleasant bar...

Had been for a 6 mile walk with a friend and decided to go here for late lunch. We both had a starter- mine was homemade leek and potato soup- it tasted absolutely amazing! We both had roast beef for main which was lovely! The...

Great little village pub. Working away from home and popped into this pub one night. Full of charm and a really friendly atmosphere the locals live to have a yap and a laugh. Will definitely be returning next week.

We were recently heading up to our canal boat for Christmas and decided to stop in Braunston for lunch. The local community cafe was closed for Christmas. And oddly for a community cafe had a no dog policy. So we tried the Old Plough and...

A good find. A traditional pub with a friendly welcome. Good pub lunch menu and a real log fire to welcome you. Car park at rear. We will return.

Visiting from the States on a narrowboat holiday, the Old Plough was the best place to eat a hearty pie next to a warm fire. Excellent service and great food were perfect for a windy night on the canal.

Classic Pub, Classic Food, Classic beersWalked up the hill from the Canal and were not disappointed. Very warm reception. great meals - don't eat for a week before you come here, and great local beers. sad to see this type of pub dwindling away and the chain pubs and their slop taking over. just a wonderful evening in a wonderful pub.

Called in for a meal whilst on a trip down the Oxford Canal. Pub grub, with good sized portions and reasonably priced. Thoroughly enjoyed my mixed grill.

I visited and reported on this pub on my previous time passing through Braunston on my boat. It was the first place to visit after mooring up. Once again the people are so nice and friendly. The food is really good, good portions and very well priced. Sunday roast my favorite meal of the week was proper good old fashioned cooking. I cheekily asked for extra roast spuds as i love them so much and my nickname is "potato head". They kindly brought out an extra bowl at no extra cost!. Highly recommend this pub. Its only a short walk from the canal. Its dog friendly in the main bar and garden area.

We were staying in the area, and looked on tripadvisor for recomendations, and were not dissapointed, a very friendly welcome, a very good choice of beers and nice menu. We left feeling nourished and happy.

Sunday lunch at the old plough is an experience not to be missed !! Traditional and home cooked brought back memories of my mums roast years ago. Staff very friendly and helpful will definitely be back for more

Looked up places to eat in Braunston and this pop up on trip advisor. Looking at the reviews we decided to try it. WOW was not disappointed. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. I had the home made pie “delicious” and my boyfriend had the mixed grill, which was AMAZING. Definitely worth a visit.

Really not the type of person to complain, but had a truly awful experience. The food was very greasy and cold. When I told this to a staff member, I was told ‘well what do you want me to do about it?’ Not helpful or polite.

Basic pub grub. Not brilliant but not expensive. Pie of the day and lasagne were ok, but chips could have been better. Would not go again based on this experience.

Called in for a drink Friday evening whilst on a canal trip. Bar full of locals and it felt like walking into the "Slaughtered Lamb". One particular "lady" (and I use the term loosely) was a little worse for wear was singing quite loudly and was upset when we left, asking if we didn't like the music. Don't think we will return. Not a very friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely lunch here with family. The prices are very reasonable and lots of the menu is homemade. Big car park out the back. Staff are really friendly.

Had lunch there. The specials advertised weren't available even though we got there at 12:00. All three of us thought the pub food was distinctly average at best and not that well cooked. My lasagne topping (basically a very thick cheese sauce) didn't look fresh and the gammon wasn't fried enough so the fat was quite uncooked. Chips were poor. The most disappointing lunch/meal of the canal trip.

Called in for lunch when passing through. Lovely choice of menu. Cosy fire and friendly people. Food very nice home cooked. Good choice on menu.

Decent pub grub, with no pretensions to be more. That's fine - though veggie options were a little limited. Food was mostly very good - though the chips were rather 'tired'. Service was friendly and speedy. Well priced

Had evening meal with friends, the food was well presented and hot which was a plesent surprised as there was 10 of us with only one or two having the same meal. The staff were very good.Drinks from the bar reasonably priced with a good selection of beers.

The food here is best described as standard pub food done well, and was excellent value. The portions were in my view very appropriately sized (ie not too large!). The stand out points for me were three good real ales, well kept; very good value for money (10 drinks and 8 two course meals, 3 of which were kids) came in at £100; but the stand out point was the incredible welcome and friendly style of Bradley who served us. It was the wonderful welcome which got the 5th star!

My friends and I visited here as we were on a narrow boat on the Warwick ring and stumbled across this pub on a walk into braunston to try and find the footie to watch and grab some grub, and we wasn't disappointed as was made to feel very welcome by staff and locals and beer and food was excellent, and staggered back to boat a few good hours later! would thoroughly recommend this pub

some nice ales although southern prices food good pub style Staff friendly atmosphere a proper pub.with friendly locals quite a few boaters in.

Personal encantador, amable, restaurante con vigas de la mejor cabra curry que he probado desde que Lee Green. Debería haber sido guisantes Black Eyed no guisantes verdes, pero aparte de que el sabor era muy auténtico. Emma ha lasaña y que era correcto, no suele aparecer hizo Misa del gallo, carne aguada mushing obviamente minadas. Gran relación calidad-precio, buena cerveza, buena comida, que podría querer más!

A un corto paseo de la Oxford Canal te lleva a esta excelente pub. Los perros son bienvenidos en el bar, y hay una excelente cocina a leña. El servicio era excelente y la comida buenísima. Tuve mi pareja y pierna de cordero al curry vegetal tanto que disfrutamos. Pruébalo, no te defraudará.

Encantador, sorprendentemente tranquilo y pequeño pub de estar en la calle principal. Data de 1600 con vigas oscuras y carácter. Servicio encantador, amable y un precio muy razonable y muy gratamente sorprendidos por la calidad de la comida. La lasaña vegetal era la mejor que he probado! Estamos enganchados - este va a ser un habitual del almuerzo.

Village pub, nice atmosphere food was excellent served timely reasonable price for the quality of food served. Good portion size.

Teníamos una familia encantadora Domingo almuerzo aquí.Nos condujeron por el personal y atención durante nuestra comida. La comida era excelente, sabroso y abundante, se sirve en buen tiempo.He estado aquí un par de veces y tengo ganas de regresar pronto.

The Old Plough is a good old fashioned pub with a log fire and Northampton Skittles, it had a good pub atmosphere.

Tenía una comida con mi esposa y dos amigos el viernes por la noche. Disfrutamos casero lasaña, pollo y jamón tarta e hígado y cebollas. Incluye dos rondas de bebidas la factura era de menos de 60 libras. No tengo ninguna queja sobre la comida. Estaba caliente y se sirve en platos calientes. Chef tomó la molestia de consultar con nosotros que todo estaba bien.

Tropezamos con el pueblo para un almuerzo rápido antes de una reunión en un lugar donde no puedo salir para el almuerzo. Tenía la casa hizo sopa de champiñones y roll. No estaba mal. Hornear en casa y parte sopa roll no era tan grande. No hay mucho tiempo para hacer nada más, pero parecía un lugar agradable con un ambiente real de fuego.

Nos amarrado nuestro barco en la Marina y fui en busca de comida. Este lugar fue recomendado por una señora en la cola en la tienda local. Sensación cansados y hambrientos nos dirigimos a encontrar. Cuando llegamos era alrededor de 4. 45 y nos dijeron que la comida no se sirve hasta las 18:00. Se sentía un poco desanimado, estuvimos de acuerdo en el que alojarse. Después de sentarse en el bar preguntamos si nos podíamos cambiar en el salón. Tengo que decir que todo el tiempo la señora de detrás de la barra era realmente agradable y muy acogedor. Cuando nos sirvieron la comida fue con una sonrisa y era realmente bueno. Yo tenía mi compañero de vegetales, curry chili y nuestros amigos en el costillar de cordero. Nos pareció muy buena relación calidad-precio y el personal fue impecable, ya que se aseguró que todo era satisfactorio. Como Braunston es ahora nuestro amarradero permanente estoy seguro que volveremos.

wonderful staff and made so welcome food was delicious and piping hot could not fault the food staff or pub

Fuimos a cenar con la familia, mientras que en el canal. Muy contentos que decidimos comer en el Viejo arado como el servicio era de primera clase y las comidas eran excelentes. Mejor sobresaliente que he tenido, así que es una buena opción. El restaurante era cómodo y todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que es un lugar que estaremos encantados de volver a. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

En 1200 (poco después del pub abierto) reservamos una mesa para 3 personas para comer el domingo a las 1 pm. Nos llegó a la 1:00 p.m. y después de esperar 10 minutos en el bar nos dijeron que no había registro de la reserva. La mujer detrás de la barra era muy grosero y fuera de mano y su única respuesta fue "Todos cometemos errores, nadie es perfecto. "Cuando le pregunté si había un gerente por ella rápidamente me dijo que no tenía. Ella hizo el "nadie es perfecto" comentarios varias veces. Ya que no podía discutir con el hecho de que la izquierda. Por suerte nos encontramos en otro sitio y tenía un magnífico almuerzo de domingo. Quizás fue una bendición disfrazada no tener nuestra reserva, menos de una hora antes, un honor para mí.

Quite pleasant venue. The service was friendly although they did forget a couple of orders and by the time they came, others had finished their meal.

we went there for the senior citizens fish and chips. My husband had the normal portion and I had the senior citizen portion. His was not all that big and mine was miniscule could have counted the chips on my fingers, could not get to the bar for 3 fat old men blocking it and not moving to allow access, the place could do with a refurb it was dark and smelled musty, definitely will not be going there again and I live in the village

Friendly local village pub, good choice of food and beers, quite often has music on a Friday night. Good atmosphere, bouncy castle in the garden for the kids

Nos fuimos para un almuerzo ligero y las diversas patatas de la chaqueta eran sólo un promedio. Gente agradable pero se sentía un poco cansado.

Good hot food nice staff, some nice real ales on sale and a friendly local atmosphere, staff checked the food was to our satisfaction after initial delivery

My fish was lovely but my husbands was soggy. The chips were all double cooked. Why can they they not produce freshly cooked ones. They were not very busy.

A lovely home cooked Sunday lunch with local beef served rare ( our choice ) with a jug of proper gravy .. Not large portions and room for real puddings . Thank you .
