The Olde Cobbler in Northampton

Lovely roast dinner relaxed atmosphere Lovely service

Didn't book on a Saturday lunch. Seated fine. They lady was very kind to my elderly nan. She offered a smaller portion of ham and eggs and discounted it. My nan was sad she didn't have change for a tip so will make up for it next time. It was our first visit here and will come again

Great food, great service and friendly staff as always 👌

Had a great evening with friends complemented by good food.

We had the pleasure of performing here as a solo steelpan musician for their Caribbean night. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is great and the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend it as a performer but also as a customer. Good luck and thanks Tom and co on your wonderful business.

Lovely friendly pub. Lovely food. Friendly staff.

Good quality food at reasonable prices.

Just had an excellent meal at this really great place excellent service excellent food.

We hired the room yesterday for a party. The venue catered and exceeded expectations, the food was delicious, varied and plentiful. The staff were really friendly, couldn't do enough for us and really made our day. We had access to the garden as well as it was a hot day and I cannot recommend the venue enough. Thank you all so much.

Lovely family friendly pub, good wholesome food

Very nice pub / restaurant usually eat at lunch time but last night had an evening meal. It was busy nice atmosphere. I had rump steak was delicious my friend had sirloin steak I had cheesecake and my friend had chocolate brownie. We enjoyed our time. We or at least I will be back

Arrived with out booking, immediately offered a table in the bar ordered Sunday roast beef and a trio roast arrived swiftly and hot, very tasty, had desserts cheese board and ice-cream again very good all round .

Food is tasty and a very good menu selection. However we found service slow and lacking. It took well over 3 hours for us to have a 2 course meal and pay! (Luckily we had lots to talk about) but one drink in that time, no offer of whether we wanted another and lack of staff about to ask. I managed to get someone's attention and ask for a glass of water but it never came. Very little waiting staff present in the dining room. When we managed to get someone's attention to ask for the bill she never came back for payment (at this point we were the only people left in the dining room) so we went to the bar to wait a further 5 mins or so for someone to take our money. I also noticed other people struggling to see and get waiting staffs attention earlier on in the evening. No one came to check that everything was ok with our food. Luckily no issues with the food. There was a private function on which I expect was having an impact but really shouldn't as adequate staffing should be in place.

As a bicycle rider, I found this place to be the perfect pitstop before continuing long journey. The beautiful and clean outdoor seating area provided a refreshing break from the road. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal spot to recharge. The food was also great, with a number of selection of starters that were both delicious and energizing. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant and hospitable experience. Fantastic choice for cyclists looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stopover. Highly recommended!

Great service, fresh hot food. Highly recommended

Another wonderful meal great value. I had the roast pork it was really tasty and presented beautifully. My husband had the wagyu beef burger and fries really delicious. Megan, Kevin and all the staff are always really welcoming and the service is outstanding. This is one place that we love to eat at, as never had a bad meal always hot and enjoyable. Thankyou so much once again 👏

Good food and atmosphere with very friendly staff!

Friendly helpful staff, great buffet pleasant atmosphere will be back

Food and atmosphere are great 👍

Very good evening meal. I would recommend

Went for a small wedding reception in private room food and atmosphere was perfect couldn't fault it.Ideal if you want a small party of 30/40 people would highly recommend

Great pub and restaurant food delicious and ambience fantastic lovely staff and good beers 10/10 well done everyone involved excellent! Neil Winstone Alfriston East Sussex

Great food, polite and helpful staff, bit pricey for a breakfast once you start adding your drinks etc, but tasty 😋 food

First time visiting the pub and a great atmosphere. It got busy quite quickly which shows a good sign so had to wait a while. We ordered some of the food, but then came back to say it wasn’t available and 2 of the mocktails were not available after initially ordering. It would help to know what isn’t available before ordering, but the food was amazing overall so thank you!

Second visit and just as good as the first. Compliments to the chef as the food was amazing.

We had a lovely family meal and would definitely go back there again. Great staff and good food.

Held 60th birthday in room, service was very good. A variety of foods ordered including children’s meals.

Excellent quality product and friendly staff

fantastic place ! had a few family birthdays here recently and the staff are fantastic cannot do enough for you, gorgeous food great atmosphere! proud to call it my local

I ordered the slow cooked meet and it was delicious, it reminded me one of my favorite Italian dishes the brasato. For desserts I tried the pineapple pie with rum ice cream and this was also delicious. I recommend this restaurant.

Meal was great as was the service staff very friendly and helpful

Went for a Sunday Roast. Very overpriced for the quality of the food received. Meat was tender but had little to no flavour. Gravy was very watery and bland. Vegetables were dry and unseasoned, as were the roasties. Service wasn’t great (probably just because it was quite busy), we were waiting up to 10 minutes just to get our drink order (we received a dirty glass with lipstick all over it) and had to call a server over to order our food after waiting with no luck.

Very disappointed with the whole experience having to wait for eggs and bacon to be cooked and the other items on my plate going cold the plates were dirty were the utensils were and to top it of I can’t believe they charge for toast which in ever other buffet breakfast it’s free so avoid

We just popped in for a drink with our dog so obviously we sat in the dog area, although the drinks were good the room was really cold & the radiator wasn't on....

7 of us went for brunch. Prebooked a table but when we arrived it wasn't set up, no problem as it only took a couple of minutes for 2 tables to be pushed together but it was the start of dissapointing service. Waitress showed us to the table but then left as soon as she pointed it out to us with no explanation as to what, if any, options there were, no explanation as to how the brunch worked or where to go for the food & drinks. Hot drinks were on the bar in jugs, 2 of us separately had to let staff know that the flasks were empty. Another member of our party had to inform staff that the buffet was virtually empty. Took a while for them to restock it. Buffet food was nice but it was only on leaving did we see on another table that there were menus for other options other than the buffet that we could have chosen from.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch where the menu clearly says £13.75 and £13.50 when we arrived the menu is £17.00 we asked if they would honour price they said no and didn't seem to want to know. I always thought that they had to honour prices stated by law.

Went for a wake. Nice selection of buffet. Bar staff quick and friendly.

Very nice restaurant. An upgrade from buddies which used to be there. The foods delicious and it’s worth the money. A good variety of drinks too

Came for a Sunday roast, and I have to say it was one of the best roast dinners I've had. The dessert was tasty too. The service was great. Would highly recommend.

Kevin as helpful as ever food great

Very well done lovely to see a new pub doing so well

Excellent breakfast buffet with vast selection.Cooked to perfection

We went for our works Xmas lunch and I loved it. Really good quality food, prompt service and empty plates all round. If you want to book somewhere to eat you can't go wrong

The turkey was hard to cut and the sticky toffee pudding said it comes with vanilla ice cream and toffee sauce but it came with custard only. Said about what the menu said and the waitress went to talk to the manager - got ice cream to add to it but no toffee sauce .

Stuff was very friendly, very helpful and food all was good.

Staff really friendly and food was amazing

Popped in for lunch ,well it will be a definite return, food was lovely, prawn cocktail with avocado, plenty of prawns ,service was greeted with a smile and warm welcome

It was lovely fir a birthday lunch. Few other tables in so good atmosphere. Service friendly and great.food delicious

Excellent all round..Staff were amazing. Couldn't do enough to help us accommodate a large party of 25. Food was lovely and hot and excellent that it all was brought out at the same time with such a large party to cater for :)

Staff efficient and friendly. Main meal very good, plenty of meat and selection of vegetables. Good variety of desserts. Glad we didn't have starters otherwise couldn't have managed desserts!

There is a good choice of dishes on the menu and the pie of the day was excellent. Also do a set menu on some days with a good variety of different choices. Staff always good and friendly.

Great local pub and restaurant. Something for everyone and super friendly.

Lovely food, cooked to perfection . Good service though the table we were given felt like we were in a walk way/corridor. Decent amount of parking and don't be put off by the outside it's better inside.

There's nothing I can say about this venue which is not excellent the staff are there for the customers. The service is great . I would recommend this venue to friends and family

Party of Four on a Friday night. Goid and service were great. However i was not impressed by drink prices . i purchased a pint of the IPA on offer at £3.50 and a large lemonade and limeCost for two drinks over £8!!!!!!!!!!! I of course questioned this and two bad staff pressed a few epos buttons and I was told that's the price!!! Joke or what Glass half filled with ice, lemonade out of a dispenser and a splash of lime. New name for this sink.....Extortion! Won't be back at these prices . Tony Wincott.

Excellent meal and friendly staff who couldn't do enough. Service was excellent with over 50 of us celebrating our mums 90th it must have been a nightmare but was great. Thanks to all of you.

Yesterday we went to The Olde Cobbler for our mum's 90th birthday party. There were 47 of us eating. The food came out all in one go and it was hot (not sure how they managed that 😄). All perfectly cooked. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Thanks Megan, Lucy, Kev and all of the other staff, sorry I don't know all your names but you were first class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you're looking for a venue please go, they are fantastic ❤️

We had the function room with buffet for 20 people including little ones. Excellent service, thanks

What a great place with food that is reasonable priced and well cooked and presented nicely. Friendly staff who are helpful but not intrusive

Menu is pretty basic but what they do they do well. Very comfortable setting.

Another excellent visit to this family owned pub and restaurant. Really good food, very generous portions, freshly cooked, hot, and served with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble either. Well recommended. Sunday lunch today was first class.

This is a brilliant place to go as a family. One of our party is a chef and he was super impressed with everything. Will definately come again

Had my husband surprise 60th birthday on Saturday night and the team were amazing. Great service, Great food . Would definitely Would recommend

The old cobbler is a nice looking place and staff are friendly. The starter was perfect and so was the pudding. The main on the other hand wasn’t great. Very thin slices of beef, one parsnip, two roast potatoes and a burnt Yorkshire puddling. All six of us had to share a small bowl of vegetables for our dinner :( the burnt Yorkshire was displayed like the crown on the top of all of the meals, I don’t know why. They did refund us a puddling against the bill, as like I said the staff were really accommodating. They did take time to clear the table and for us to order pudding. It’s a shame the main let this place down for me as great potential:)

I called yesterday morning 10 a.m. to book a table, as instructed I left my contact details on the answerphone. No confirmation was sent. I tried again this morning, again only the answerphone. Finally spoke to a real person around 11 a.m., no table was booked for us and the restaurant was fully booked. Only when I said twice this wasn't good enough I finally received an apology.

Great Sunday lunch, best in the area - we've eaten in most of the surrounding pubs!

Kev made us feel very welcome he's lovely and jolly. Food was great too

A great bistro pub, food is amazing from full english breakfasts to Sunday roasts. Definitely recommend going.

The vegan burger was missing the red onion marmalade sauce, I’d of asked but it was busy and no one came to ask how the food was. For the expensive price at this place I would have expected better.

Never been before but always go past, took my dad in for lunch and the food was lovely. Nice homemade food. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing wagyu burgers. Great speedy service.

Great place went and took my mum and auntie and the service was fantastic as was the food, I would highly recommend

Lovely meal - great veggie options. Overall, the service was good but it took a bit of time for them to notice we had finished and wanted the bill. They were preparing for a large party and this seemed to make them forget or ignore the other customers!

Excellent food, got served really quickly, possibly because a Monday. Very nice restaurant. Will try again on a busy night.

Always lovely food and always feel so welcome by all staff

Walked in at 1145 on a Saturday to be told we aren't doing food until 1230, no offer to order a drink at the bar and take a seat, returned at 1220 to be told sorry we don't do tables for 5. I find this unfathomable, can't add a chair to a table of 4 or seat us at a table of 6, two of our party were young children, so I don't really think seating five would be a terrible inconvenience, unlike of course the level of service at this establishment, which was a terrible inconvenience and experience. Maybe the foods great, I don't know as we barely got through the door. Never again. Poor service.

Food nothing special. Staff slow. Atmosphere excellent.

The food was good. Staff very friendly a d helpful.

Really nice and chilled spot to eat. Had a lovely lunch with my partner. The staff are very friendly and food was amazing with reasonable price. Will be here again soon.

Clean, ventilated, staff friendly and polite. Bar available. Nice friendly atmosphere. Wheelchair friendly. Very good overall experience.

First time dining here. The reviews are spot on. Food was excellent, our hostess was fabulous nothing was too much trouble. You have eat here. Lovely cozy room. Everywhere was immaculately clean. The main bar was very impressive. Will definitely be coming back.

Great place to eat or just to go and have a couple of drinks

Ist visit & impressed with the very friendly service...excellent menu choices with good size portions...will be going again

Hi just returned from a beautiful Boxing Day meal at the olde cobbler, easily one of the best meals I’ve tasted this year!. The service from a young lady called Megan and her team ensured the we were looked after impeccably, all the courses were piping hot and tasted lovely. 10/10 for service and 10/10 food Thank you all

Nice food & friendly staff and friendly service

I haven't been in this pub for many years back in the day it was known as the North Star, then a fast food restaurant now it's a proper pub. Under new management it's a great pub it's been tastefully decorated in light grey and no music or games machines. It has a varied menu and sells local beers, we each had something different from the extensive menu we all enjoyed our food this pub should do well as there isn't another up that end of Kingsthorpe. Well worth a visit we will certainly be going back. 😀

Ate here several times...the food is always lovely and good service. Not the cheapest restaurant but worth a little bit extra for good food .

Went out of way to meet my dietary requirements

We came at lunchtime for the Xmas menu, & after waiting a pretty long time (it was busy tbf...) our food arrived & I was surprised at how small the portions were! Now I'm going off visits to other establishments here, but imo the portions were tiny compared to other restaurants! No problem with the quality, just not enough...

Very good Xmas Meal, will visit again

First visit, pleasantly surprised. Great food, good service and a really nice atmosphere

Food was really good, staff, friendly and atmosphere is what you make with what is there

Met with some friends for breakfast, had the full English which was nicely cooked and tasty.

Recently refurbished famous Northampton pub (The North Star as was). Lovely home made food and great service. Local Phipps beers on tap. Definitely coming back. Pictures are of a lovely lasagne with chips and salad and a home made chicken and bacon pie with mash etc.

Great service and lovely food, good value too. Enjoyed an evening with friends and good food and drink. Thank you

Great food and service. Good real ale on tap. Very dog friendly in the bar area.

Very friendly staff. The food is all home-cooked and piping hot when you get it. Been on many occasions to this pub and never once has our family ever had a complaint about the food. There’s usually 10 or 12 of us that go each time spending £250 and it is absolutely excellent.

Excellent choices of Sunday lunch here at very reasonable prices. Food was beautifully cooked, fresh and well presented. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. Booking ahead is advisable

A lovely meal while visiting family. Excellent service.

Lovely meal, well presented food. Pleasant decor and friendly staff.
