The Piper in Kettering

Comfortable pub and nice to relax in with a drink.

Went in there to kill time before the firework display - Found the staff really friendly and even though we weren't local we were made to feel really welcome. The food was freshly cooked and really tasty and we had a really lovely time there playing the traditional pub games that were available and then watching the local football derby on the big TV's before heading to the fireworks - would totally recommend 👍

new management, very rude, turning away people who were regulars., but good news they are are going

I went to this pub on a Thursday evening at 7.30pm due to great reviews. When I got there they were not serving food because they had no bookings that evening. I suggest book ahead or like me you may find they are not serving food .

For many years this pub was fantastic and always busy due to the happy host, well kept ales and superb traditional pub grub. Unfortunately, right now, a change of ownership including a brutal change of management so we now go through the bedding in period. Let's see how this pans out......

We had a wonderful lunch here after our WI walk. The landlady had only taken over a week ago and she honoured our booking. Excellent fish and chips will be back

Ran by an incredibly rude and unhappy woman.

£5.50 a pint of fosters during an England game when other pubs were offering more premium larger for £3... other than this, it's decent. Won't be rushing back but won't be avoiding it either Pool table, skittles, darts, big tele etc etc

Great place to eat, drink and socialise….

Used to love going to this pub at lunchtime when studying at the college across the road

Omg if you are anywhere near here please pop in we had sunday roast my word its amazing and what a lovely land land . Food was all fresh not frozen .

Food was amazing, the cauliflower cheese is delicious. Service from the staff was excellent. Lovely pub

Well what can I say?! I always judge my roast by the potatoes and these are tasty. Worth a visit, highly recommend.

Very friendly new landlord and barmaid

Needs an injection of life and quite expensive.

Good choice of beers and reasonable price.We had curry,probably the best we have had in a long time.But the pub was empty...sign of the times I presume.9/10 for food.9/10 for the choice of beers but 5/10 for pub atmosphere.

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers, Ciders, wines and spirits. Also offer a food menu, bar staff are friendly and talkative.

Over priced for a local. The decor needs updating. Staff were friendly.

Expensive for what it is, service was good reasonably quiet there are 2 sides to this pub so if u want louder and pool music etc you can use the other side of the bar or you can have the quiet side. Parking can be tight at times
