The Olde Three Cocks in East Northamptonshire

New Management, new menu, hygienic & freshly refurbished. The old manky carpet pulled up and replaced with lovely wooden flooring. The bar is brass and shiny never knew it was brass! Tastefully painted and new furniture. Lee the chef knows his ingredients and knows how to cook & present it. Love this pub, the staff and both Lee & Helen the new management. Hope they keep their idea of having no football showing and no children in pub area. This village needed a nice pub where nice folk can go to for a top meal and drink. Joe it stays this way.

We went as a family for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of a friend. We were 4 adults, one child and a baby. The food and service were excellent. In addition to the vegetables on your plate we also got 3 dishes of delicious greens and bought a side of cauliflower cheese big enough for 2 people. We also ordered pudding which was lovely. We will definitely visit again

Only visited to see family, but a lovely little place, friendly staff and made us feel very welcomed. Would consider staying over for the night.

Lovely pub with great service and very well priced and delicious food. I went with my husband and 2 month old baby and we all loved it. Friendly clientele and great fish tank to boot 👍👍

This is not a family friendly pub, avoid is my advice. It’s just a typical backward 1970’s experience, still it has the tacky decor to pull it off.

We went for a meal here yesterday evening, there were 4 of us plus a dog. As you would expect we couldn’t sit in the dining area due to our friends dog but we were very happy sitting elsewhere. The service was great, attentive & friendly without being too much, the food was hot, tasty and there was plenty of it. 3 courses plus a round of drinks was £166 which is great value. We will definitely return. There’s a nice seating area at the back that was busy and created a lovely atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely evening

Since the pub came under new management earlier this year the whole place has been revamped, it is now a stylish and welcoming place to visit The staff are friendly and welcoming Lee is a fabulous host and cook the menu is varied and everything we ordered was spot on and delicious so pleased they are in our village as we now have a great place to eat Brigstock is close to the A14 very easy to get to from Kettering, Corby Thrapston and surrounding villages Cannot recommend highly enough

Great food and great service. We spent some time looking for a good restaurant in the area and we were lucky to find this newly re-opened pub restaurant (3 months ago) which had availability on a Saturday night - we booked by phone on advice from a local. Brigstock is a lovely looking village and the pub looked inviting. We were able to park outside. The greetings were really friendly and the service very efficient. The menu was more extensive and more up market than anything else we had looked at; the food was great. I had a Thai Green Curry which I really enjoyed, quite delicate and perfectly cooked. The other members of the party had different dishes and all enjoyed their food. The wine was also good and both food and wine were reasonably priced for the quality. The picture attached to the location does not do the food justice - I wonder whether this is from before the re-opening.

We were all thoroughly impressed with our meals, the Chef certainly knows what he is doing. The food is freshly made and way above usual pub standards. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely meal this evening at the old three cocks in celebration of my son's GCSE results. Curry was the flavour of the evening, with the pub holding their curry night. 3 courses (4 if you include the poppadoms and chutneys which are served before starters!) Great tasting food and amazing value for money. The staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit!!

Fantastic food and very friendly people. The squid and the fish cakes were very tasty, perfectly cooked and delicious steaks, ace chips, and the puds (pears and chocolate caramel) were exceptionally creative and delicious. This is not just very good pub food but a special restaurant with a talented chef, give it a try!

We just had a lovely meal ,service was brilliant and food was excellent. Can't recommend this pub highly enough. We will be back for more amazing food.

This pub has been transformed and the restaurant together with the bar and outside area have been transformed. Our meals were very good, our waitress Libby delightful - very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely evening. We’ve been several times and will be back.

In recent times have been here for Sunday lunch. Food excellent and hospitality second to none.

Lovely meal lovely service by izzy will definitely be back

Food was amazing, I had the rib of beef which melted off the bone, my friend had the pie which was delish! Special mention to our waitress Izzy who was the best! See you on our next visit 😍xxx

Had an amazing Sunday dinner at the weekend. Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly service. Will definitely be going back soon.

Had a lovely meal last night. We shared the camembert, which was a delicious starter. I then had the fish and chips and hubby had the salmon. The service was excellent.

Lovely meal in the beer garden Saturday night, lovely atmosphere with the pretty pontoon lights and smart green turf. We had the Beef & Ale Pie & the Rib of Beef then Brownie, all were amazing, chef even sent out a little sausage and fries for our toddler. Everything was perfect for our family night out, all the staff were smashing. We look forward to more meals out. Thanks.

Excellent value Sunday roast - tender beef for him, tasty pork shoulder for me, with six vegetables, very good roasties and two yorkshires each. Shared crème brulée pudding beautifully presented with fruit and macarons. All for £50 with drinks and tip. Dining room a bit chilly and draughty in this cold summer though.

Absolutely fabulous dining experience in a lovely village new pub. The staff and owners are first class welcoming, friendly and the atmosphere is so inviting from 3 years ago . I don't visit Brigstock now my parents have moved but I will return just for another meal as top notch as the last one ! You won't be disappointed ..highly recommended

We had Sunday lunch at the Olde Three Cocks today (14/07/24). The service was excellent and the food very tasty. We will be back to try the mid-week menu in the very near future.

Eaten here a few times under the new management . Food is excellent and very well priced. Ate here on Friday, table of four x2 had fish and chips my wife had the steak and I had the burger, all well presented and very tasty. Had the roast today, beef was excellent again, as was all the veg and Yorkies. Well done.

The food was excellent. Went for Sunday lunch after a walk in the countryside. The menu isn’t extensive but actually that means that every meal receives the chefs full attention and is cooked to perfection. The slow cooked beef was so tender, the pork soft and tasty. Beetroot wellington was great. Definitely recommend.

First time visit, food was great. Libby was friendly and provided excellent service. Will be back again soon. Thank u

Had a meal here last night was absolutely delicious and staff were so lovely ☺️ Thank you xx

We have dined twice since the pub reopened. Food was really good, hoping to try the roast on Sunday!! 😊

Great food, great service, very reasonably priced for the quality of food! Ronan & Carrick were awesome. Lucky that the pub has got new landlords who have clearly dedicated a lot of time and efforts into transforming this pub, exactly what Brigstock needed. Highly recommend the brownie! We will definitely be back again soon guys thank you 😊

This village pub has just reopened under Lee & Helen as landlords. We had our first evening as a group of six friends for food. The starters of Herefordshire beef dumpling with horseradish cream was a delight and surprise it was delicious, warm black pudding scotch egg with homemade pickallie was beautifully cooked with a semi soft yolk. All our starters were tasty and very well served. Mains were equally as tasty and the blackened cod was perfectly cooked with watercress sauce. Our food was delicious, Lee certainly knows his food all locally sourced ingredients and beautifully put together. Top marks to Lee for his cooking and Helen for her hosting she is just lovely. We will certainly be back, local people try his food you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful renovations, food was to such a high standard will definitely go back!

Very nice and the food is fantastic

Had lunch today at the Olde Three Cocks, we had pizzas which were delicious, good base with nice topping and plenty of cheese. Staff were pleasant and friendly

Had a good night watching the football,the food was great

Nice local pub with food served.

Yeah, not much good to say hear, service was not good, food was not good, beer was good though . Edit March 2022. Good luck to the new owners, should be a good country pub if ran right.

Very nice little pub and the food is lovely

Very friendly and great service,

Nice pub. An old coaching Inn. Good beer and friendly locals.

Absolutely splendid pub. Very nice selection of lagers, ciders and ales that taste great. Very welcoming atmosphere and 1 especially kind and well dressed young barman!

Really good pub, nice atmosphere, nice bar staff and lovely beer

If your after a good steak or burger and chips then this is the place. The steak we had was excellent, there were two really good cask ales and the staff and landlord were very attentive.

Great pub, great landlord and landlady, great food, great choice of ales, lagers, ciders and many more! Great atmosphere and very friendly locals! Highly recommended 👌 👍

Visited for food & drink for a business meeting, the staff were lovely from the moment I walked in & made me feel welcome, while waiting for my client to arrive to discuss business I noticed how rude and unprofessional the management was, one of the staff members looked very uncomfortable and I noticed she was being sexual harassed by a group of men, me being me got involved and advised her to report this to her line manager…to my shock the management did nothing! They didn’t even go out to speak to the men, In my profession as a photographer/videographer for high end clients I was shocked to see how poorly the staff were treated, I ended up leaving without ordering anything as I didn’t want to spend any money with the vile place.

Love being here so much so friendly and efficient xxx

Nice friendly pub,great Sunday lunch and good beers.

Looking for a meal on tuesday night but most pubs weren’t serving. Ended up having a great meal at the ship inn, Oundle instead. Check before you go to the olde three cocks. We had a meal there last year which was good so we were disappointed.

Friendly staff help with quick and pleasant service, but the food is average but perfectly acceptable.

we had resersed a round table ( the only round table ) it all started of very well wilst the 5 of us chatted when suddenly the muic started , albeit pleasant and every stuff no objections to that but it did rather interfer with our conversation ! i did ask why, because they thought we'd enjoy it ! The food excelllant and a choice of size plates those who do not want such big meals any more . a very good enjoyable selection of vegetables .But alas only 3 meats. 2 of which i never eat, but everyone else had ample with no need for puddings but, a coffee it all went down quite well

No clear place to book in, just left to stand at the bar and wait for somebody to see to us whilst receiving jeering from drunk men sat at the bar. Showed to our communal bathroom where there were wet towels, old socks and sandals all in the corner of the bathroom. Staff not exactly the most friendly and when we asked them to provide us with details of their manager they provided us with the name "Paul Seafood" which I have now found out is a fake name which I had originally suspected. Loud music until gone midnight and then we were woken up at 3 and 4am by people partying in their rooms. Not ideal when we needed to be up at 6am. When we tried to check out in the morning we had no idea where to give our keys in because all the lights were out with the bar area shut, this was at 7am - we eventually walked into the kitchen and found somebody in there in their pyjamas and we gave our keys to her - she seemed half asleep. I would never recommend this place and left feeling ripped off completely. It seemed as if the staff did not care about our experience and their reputation either. Gordan Ramsey needs to sort this place out!

When we arrived at the pub there were a group of people in the smoking area who were drunk and making comments on us entering carrying all of our bags (what do they expect?) so immediately had a bad feeling about this place. Walked through a 60th birthday party trying to find where to "check in" - turns out you just stand at the bar with your bags and wait for someone to see to you. As we were waiting, there were men at one of the tables who were jeering at us saying "alright love give us your name and number" which is really not what we wanted after a long day at a competition and just wanting to check into our room. I replied to the men and told them we did not want to listen to their sexist remarks we just wanted to go to our room and they just laughed in our faces. As we were showed up to our room we were showed to the communal bathroom where there were wet towels on the floor, sandals, dirty socks and missing shower curtain. When raising our concerns to the bar staff there was no manager or duty manager available. A lady did come in to help us but when telling her the bathroom had not been cleaned she wasn't very sympathetic to our situation when explaining that we would expect to come to a clean facility. When we returned, there was a party on until midnight therefore loud music when we were trying to sleep (needed to be up at 6am) which we did accept because it's a pub, but there was still a commotion downstairs until half past midnight and then at 3am and 4am we were further awoken by a party in one of the rooms. One bed was okay, one was in fairness very comfortable, but the one my friend was on was more springs than mattress. Genuinely really painful to sleep on. We did not feel the staff were receptive of our concerns and we were just fobbed off with an email address of somebody to contact. Pictured attached.

Sunday carvery great. Good price & good service & nice atmosphere. We'll be back soon.

Great pub with a family atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and happy efficient staff.

The staff here, in particular, Bridget, go the extra mile to make you welcome. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay ☺

We've had an amazing stay at this beautiful pub, room with a garden, breakfast outside. Bridget has treated us like family. Definitely recommend, very good food here also

lovely Sunday lunch, soup was amazing.

very friendly, olde worldly pub, bags of character and a very good election of beers, the staff went over and above to make us comfortable. we had the carvery, it was very filling and tasty, all meats were beautifully cooked and the portions where very generous, will definitely be going again.

they did not have the menu that was displayed on their website. They did not have a wine list. a very dissapointing meal which took an hour to be served considering it was only fish & chips, pie & chips and a pizza.

Loved it - the staff were so nice felt like home very friendly. The whole town was lovely - was sorry to leave. Hope one day I can return.

Very friendly warm and welcoming. Food was delicious, would highly recommend 😁

Superb Sunday carvery helpful attentive staff

Sat in bar for drink and guys near us swore constantly not nice.

After our disappointing experience last time we ate here, we decided to give it another go. My wife ordered Gammon, egg and chips and I ordered the ribeye steak, well done. The landlord was cooking and the difference was amazing, our food was on the table within fifteen minutes of ordering, all of the food was hot and freshly cooked and the ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. It looks like the previous experience was a 'blip' and this venue is back to providing the quality of food and service that we expected.

Delicious food with a pint of Guinness, dog friendly too!

Interesting place to stay, great food

With a group of family & friends, we had the small carvery, it was very filling and tasty, all meats were cooked just right, everyone enjoyed it.We have been quite a few times previously and every visit the meal has been great.

Attended for meal with work colleagues. Ordered meal for them to bring our main corse before our starter 1.5 hours after ordering. No cutlery, main corse was clearly sat in micro while we had starters and came out looking and feeling like a child’s school volcano project with the chicken pie like larva. If your thinking of eating here you will be better satisfied going hungry! Bill was very high considering the poor service. And to add the WiFi was shocking! All round Awful experience will opt for a meal deal from the CO OP store opposite next time!

Advertised as food served until 9pm so I was very disappointed, after a 2.5 hour journey, to be told at 8.15pm that the kitchen was closed.

Friendly staff and atmosphere, a large group of us visited for a Sunday carvery, the food was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the vegetables were kept hot, fair portion size and I would recommend this restaurant and visit again myself, the only negative is that there are no pricelists for drinks or puddings.

Booked for a collegue checks in at 5.00pm and went to a meeting when we got back to pub at 10.30pm all doors were locked no exterior key provided and no one answering phone so had to take hi to holiday in in for.my. promised a refund.but.never got.one

This is possibly the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. The room that was advertised as having a 'garden patio' is actually a converted shed in the car park. The heating was less than useless and we had to use a plug-in radiator. Unfortunately the lack of electric sockets meant that it was sharing with the kettle by means of an extension lead. This is not safe. The shower only ran cold and we were forced to have strip washes using water boiled in the kettle. They even tried to charge me twice! The only good part of the stay was breakfast. Avoid staying here at all costs.

No heating. No hot water. No shower. Dangerous Electrics. Hit and miss broadband. Missing menus. Missing staff. Give it a miss. Seriously.

We love it there great food and atmosphere!

we had sunday lunch here today,lovely friendly atmostphere in the bar,,food was absolutely faultless can thoroughly recommend ,will return a s a p.thankyou.

We ate here as we were staying in the area. It was in walking distance from our B and B. The restaurant area was very quiet, but there was music playing. The service was excellent, always checking how our food was, and leaving us enough time between courses. It was a good value meal with large portion sizes.

Nice friendly atmosphere. But looks like a drinkers pub.

My wife booked us in for a Valentine's night dinner. We arrived about 15 minutes early for an 8pm booking....waitress took our order at about 8:10.....at 9:10 we had to ask where our dinner was, to be told it would be about 15 minutes. Steaks arrived at 9:20, peas were stone cold, steak was done as ordered, although my wife's was still pink in the middle. On the whole, very disappointed. We know the landlord and it appears he isn't on site anymore and it shows. Very poor service and disorganised.

Not a great a experience, my meal was fine (gammon and chips, hard to get wrong) but my wife had ordered fish and chips and it wasn't cook properly (uncooked in the middle), when we told the waitress she and unsure what to do and had to go and find out what to do, we also had to ask when the replacement meal would be ready, when it came out it was satisfactory and I'm not sure it was cooked properly again (it tasted odd and she didn't eat much of it). Another disappointment was that no one came to speak to us about the meal and there was at least 1 "manager" seating other diners and serving drinks do the opportunity was there to do so.

Table booked 7:30. Ordered 8:00. Left 9:45 without food. Bought food at Co-op. Eating at home 10:00.

Friend's birthday, went for a carvery, meal was great! Small plate was more than enough...had a large slice of all five meats, best carvery I know...we find any reason we can to go back. Food great, service great, value for money great.

Lovely staff and host! Recommend the paella

Great carvery as always, book in advance!

Visited on New Year’s Eve for a meal with family. Very accommodating and excellently cooked pub food. Menu slightly basic but at a fab price you cannot complain. Would visit again!

I like this pub, beer, fish & chips ...and football lovers:)

Lynn and I had Xmas day lunch there, it was most enjoyable, Paul and hi staff could not have done more, the staff were very helpful, and the food was excellent, this is a village pub that far exceeds the description. Lynn And I used to drive from Kettering to Bedford for a carvery, now it,s TOTC,s every time,and great value for money. Paul says he dosen,t believe in ripping off his customers better value is hard to find.

Stayed overnight on Christmas Day. Comfortable bed and clean room. Had a lovely 3 course Christmas lunch with drinks after. Paul and his wife and staff always go the extra mile to please. Well done to all involved

Visited for my wife’s birthday lunch , Have been through the village many times but never had stopped at the three cocks , so we prebooked for Sunday lunch for three , cosy ,clean room decked out with Xmas decorations very nice , good service from staff , landlord was a very nice and friendly chap , lunch was a carvery dinner , beef, turkey or ham loads of choice carrots, roasties , etc ,big pots of gravy , sweet menu had plenty of choice , left feeling stuffed ,would recommend, will return during the week next time and try the menu .

What a lovely pub food and staff very good xx

Stayed two nights whilst visiting relatives in Kettering. We had the outside room with en suite. Although the bathroom could do with a little bit of a refurb, the shower is one of the best that I’ve ever used, and the room is lovely, the bed is REALLY comfy, and we were not disturbed at all. We ate in the pub both nights and the food was excellent, and really good value. Paul is brilliant, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was very tasty. And the price can not be sniffed at!! Will recommend to anyone wanting to visit this area.

Booked a table for 7, didn't need to really we were the only ones there, but later a few more couples came in. I had lamb shank, very big portion for me, lots of veg. Tasty thou..

Fabulous bed and breakfast. Really good service and delicious brekky. Thank you

Here for two nights, was asked if everything was ok as we hadn't arrived, Paul said to phone him when we arrive if pub shut and he would come let us in and even asked us what time we wanted breakfast the day after which was nice, breakfast was enough to get you going and a cracking pint of Guinness

Love the pub. Great place to stay fantastic food and great owner

Stopped by with a friend for food and drinks. Nice place and friendly staff. The food was good. This was late September, in the evening. The place was freezing. The bar maid agreed (she was wearing a thick outdoor fleece) but advised that the boss said the heating would not be switched on until November. I would give this place a miss next time and would advise you only to visit during the summer!

Good food at a very good price. Friendly if somewhat chaotic staff.

I ordered a rump steak It wasn't bad it was diabolical I told the server, no comment from cook or manager. When paying £12.95 for the steak I again commented, the server said she had passed on my comments, poor girl left on her own the responsible party kept out of sight Prior to eating I had asked for a list of wines I was advised they only kept 1 red wine, a name I didn't know at£19.95, I declined

Whilst out with the family last Sunday 16.09.18 we were looking for Sunday Lunch. The Olde thre Cocks was recommended. What a wonderful meal. I can honestly say this was the best carvery we;ve had. We also have a two year old and he was feed for free. We didn't book and turned uo as midday, luckily they had a table free. Even the bill was a very pleasant surprise.

Best Sunday roast for miles in my opinion

Excellent place great food had a great night stay highly recommend
