The Red Lion in Daventry

Came here today for Sunday lunch service and food were excellent would highly recommend it here we will be back

We happened upon The Red Lion in Thornby after exploring Northamptonshire by car!The food was outstanding. My partner had the steak, ale and Stilton pie with hand cut chips and seasonal green veg! It was the best pie both of us has ever tasted and the filling was so well seasoned! I had the chicken schnitzel with romanesco sauce. Another fantastic dish! For dessert we both had the bannoffee tart which was out of this world!! We will definitely be coming back! Lovely atmosphere in the pub as well.

Been here a number of times. It never disappoints. Great village pub. Full of locals drinking and eating the great, unpretentious but excellently cooked food. Great service. Travelled from Stafford for my Sunday lunch and would do it again. Wish it was my 'Local'

We came off the A14 after Google maps recommended it. It's a great little find. Not at all pub grub. We arrived at 2 minutes to 2pm and good finished at 2. They accepted is. We ordered two Bouillabaisse and it was excellent. The Rouille was delicious and authentic, fish perfectly cooking and had samphire, mussels etc in a lovely broth. Really well prepared and presented and the service was friendly and efficient. Excellent

This was the most amazing Sunday lunches we have had in a very long time. Everything was exceptional, service & food. Would definitely recommend

We had a lovely meal here, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly yet professional. The food is excellent with an imaginative menu using local ingredients that are beautifully cooked and prepared. It isn’t a gastro pub so retains the feel of a village local. Highly recommended.

My wife and I were on a pilgrimage to Thornby to visit the village where my mother's mother's family lived in the first half of the nineteenth century. The pub and the church were the two musts for the visit. The Red Lion was really friendly, with great service and the food was way better than I would have expected from a small village pub. My wife raved about her parsnip and apple soup - excellent preparation, presentation and taste. I had no more than a simple burger but that was well presented with really tasty homemade coleslaw. All good value for money. Proud to have traced my roots back to Thornby and to have been made to feel welcome.

Hard to. Eli eve they won an award, food not that great, had fish and chips. The chips were frozen chips and the fish was over cooked. Very expensive too.

Visited on a recommendation and was not disappointed. Sunday Roast Lamb and Beef served with delicious, elevated, veg and roasties with sublime Yorkshire puddings. Nothing was too much trouble and happy to adapt the menu for a fussy toddler. Great service and a warm welcome In this family friendly pub. Will be back.

The most impressive thing about The Red Lion at Thornby was just how outstanding their service is.We visited earlier today and were both quickly seated.I ordered a couple of pints of BG sips, an outstanding pale ale whilst my wife ordered a pint of coke.We skipped straight to the main dish and I ordered a steak which came with chips and a few tomatoes and peppercorn sauce which although was a little underwhelming, was cleared and enjoyed.My wife ordered the burger meal which she enjoyed but due to an accident the waitress removed the cost of the burger meal.This is a lovely little pub with accommodation at the side and a beautiful little " hidden away " garden to the side of the car park.We were fairly happy with our visit and the waitress ( we believe is American) is an absolute credit to her job as well as the Red lion.Visited 18th May 2021.Please support our excellent pubs.

Brilliant find in our local area. The service was extremely friendly and no faults. Food was INCREDIBLE - gastropub standard. Beautiful starter of festive sharing nibbles. Can’t wait to come back here again and support local. Thank You Red Lion

We just had the most amazing meal at The Red Lion. So pleased we found this little gem. The starters, mains and dessert were absolutely delicious - beautiful flavours and presentation. Highly exceeded our expectations.

We had the guinea fowl and roasted hake for mains which were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Friendly staff , great atmosphere and we would definitely return in the near future (actually already planning a date with friends)

Excellent Sunday Roast - food such good quality and able to easily make gluten free (only no yorkshire) the meat was tender and good amount. All round brilliant way to spend a sunny afternoon

Excellent food. Excellent service. A real gem of a find. In our family we had the sea bass, the beef and Stilton pie and the burger, and for desert lemon meringue pie....delightfully cooked and presented.

Delicious Sunday roast especially the cauliflower cheese. Cosy pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. 100% will visit again.

Booked here for lunch after looking at the reviews and was not disappointed. I had the beef cheek bon bons to start, which were amazingly tender and so full of beef flavour. Followed by the pork and black pudding wellington. I cannot recommend this enough, tender pork loin with so much flavour from the bacon and black pudding. Kale and carrots cooked and seasoned perfectly, with the best dauphinois I’ve eaten outside of France. Strawberry mille feuille, was a perfect light end to the meal with compliments of basil and elderflower. Staff were fantastic and it was a very safe environment. If you have the chance, definitely drop in!

As with most pubs, the Red Lion has only recently re-opened and had made great efforts to protect their customers with one way traffic and table service.The staff and owners were very welcoming and clearly on top of their game.The real ales were very well kept and presented.It is the food however that sets this pub apart from most.Gastro-pub us a very overworked cliche and not always earned but this term understates the quality and skill if the food on offer.I had the monkfish with braised leeks and a potato fondant, with delicious sauces to complement the firm, tasty fish.The desert a strawberry fuille? was quite superb and the general standard of the menu was clearly a furlong ahead of the usual pub fare.A thoroughly pleasant experience that I hope to repeat.

It’s really an authentic place with amazing food. 400 years old with very cozy environment. Large enough choice of dishes

The only reason I am writing this is because I feel that the starter was a complete rip off !! A faggot and I mean a faggot just one for £7.50 was a joke and it’s made m think twice about going again the main course was as usual lovely but my advice to people would be do not bother with the starters

This is still an excellent restaurant and I've eaten in quite a few. Saw that there was whitebait available in a combination dish and asked if we could just have the whitebait, no problem and it was delicious. The atmosphere is excellent and staff extremely attentive. It deserves to be better placed than it is in the ratings.

Can not fault The Red Lion I had roast pork and my husband had roast beef. Both came with Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese carrots, sprouts broccoli and roast potatoes, we both could not fault anything. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back.

Love this place - always delivers. Food is creative, delicious and beautifully presented. Friendly staff and a nice open fire - what's not to like?! Definitely the best in the area.

Booked here as we were on the way back from picking up the Christmas tree. As we had the dog we were seated in the bar. Lovely fire and warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely superb. Menu different to your average pub but normal price. Specials were great. Pigeon starter and pheasant main.Presentation was first rate and the staff exceptional.I will certainly come back. Best meal I have had in a long time and the presentation a work of art.Oh and the beer was good. Well kept and just right.Overall the staff friendly, everywhere was clean and bright and warm and don't forget to book as I have never seen so many Saturday lunchtime diners in a middle of no where pub

Myself and 2 companions had dinner at The Red Lion on 1st November after a lapse of sometime. The food was excellent, the service exlempary and a most enjoyable eveing was had. I am always surprised at the bill as in my eyes all items on the menu are reasonable priced. I hope that my next visit will be in the near future.

Working local and char the Red Lion here on the strength of two recommendations and they were not wrong, chanced my arm on a Wednesday evening without booking and they ‘squeezed’ me in as they were busy. Decor in period with the coach horse style building but the food was fantastic, I ordered the steak and Stilton sauce and it was to die for. All clean, Prices reasonable, Ale was good as was the service, well worth the trip out and I will be back.

Are here with 2 friends -just tried to find a place to eat in between where we all live -absolutely lovely 2 of us had all 3 courses -really nice Will be visiting again there

I recently had a delicious meal at the Red Lion, Thornby with my daughter's boyfriend. The food is well presented and imagination used in the choices on the menu. I think that the Red Lion represents one of the best local traditional pubs in terms of providing good food at very good value. The staff are always extremely polite and helpful and the service is very good. It is also a great pub to call in for a drink with friends. I would recommend eating there for a table for two or a family get together.

They stop serving at 2pm but no indication on website very disappointing and hungry. Went there especially as reviews were good

Dropped in for lunch and found an excellent friendly pub had the steak pie and you will not find a larger portion in Northamptonshire packed full of meat both meals excellent in quality and good value for money. We will be back

yum yum yum ! had the new lamb dish in fact all four of us did - cooked how i like it no pink - i thought oh thats not enough on the plate but it was - shared a desert also very good chox bun with peacans and banana-

Ate here last year when down in Northampton and really enjoyed it. So when friends said they'd booked a table for dinner we were really pleased. Great choice of food, for example scallops with black pudding as a starter and duo of lamb as a main. Good selection of real ales and local gin. We'll definitely eat here again when visiting family & friends.

Love this place.great staff very friendly locals all friendly.great food really enjoyed the whole atmosphere / experience. Definitely will be going back

My brother lives nearby so, when visiting the area, he took me and my wife there for Sunday lunch. One of the best Sunday roasts I've had - the roast beef. Excellent food. Nice ambiance; polite and attentive staff; reasonably priced; and a lovely location. Would definitely recommend and would go back when next in the area.

Haven’t been in years since we moved the office from Naseby - so took the team there for an early week night dinner. Great atmosphere and attentive staff with excellent food. Have the Steak & Stilton pie and any of the desserts.

Accommodating a 90 year old as well as a 4 year old and a toddler in a party of six proved well within their capabilities as all requests were calmly acknowledged and the food arrived in good time and proved to be well cooked, served in a friendly way and was delicious to eat! What more can you ask?

A most delightful pub / diner with near perfect ambiance. Ten out of ten for for every thing except the fish pie, which the menu described as containing prawns, smoked haddock, hake and cod.......but what a disappointment. Firstly it was too hot to eat out of the dish ( micro wave ), so I transferred the contents to my plate expecting to find whole prawns and good flakes of the other fish. But no !!.... the prawns and the other fish had been cut up into unrecognisable small pieces and surrounded by a weak milky liquid.

Friendly staff, great food, great beer. Lunchtime visit for 6 people, food arrived in good time, and was all fresh and well priced. Great local pub

Il classico pub inglese, molto carino, ambienti molto curati, personale gentile e disponibile.Il cibo molto buono, il classico pranzo della domenica inglese, carne con patate e verdure, birra buonissima.Prezzi un pò alti, ma nello standard inglese.Consigliato.

On a trip to Leicester, my wife and I decided to come off the A14 to look for lunch. We took a wrong turning, and the first pub we came to was the Red Lion in Thornby. From the outside, an ordinary village pub; we were not even sure it would do food. Inside, a great, almost medieval atmosphere, warm, efficient service and very high quality food.

8 of us has booked the week before for a sit down meal at 1430hrs. Our table was occupied at 1430 hrs, by the time we actually got seated it was approximately 1450hrs. We did not realise the only menu in operation was the Sunday Lunch menu. The vegetarian options was one plus a veggie burger (Sunday Lunch?), however there was no veggie burgers after we had ordered. The fish dish was not available which left fish and chips (for Sunday lunch?). We were offered an alternative vegetarion option of the roast with vegetables and veggie gravy, the young girl then said the roasties were cooked in beef fat.There was 2 main courses, beef or Pork, several ordered both, then after ordering again there was no beef. We ordered wine which after 20 minutes had not arrived, we had to ask for it. Eventually we had our food. When the bill came there were a lot of items with no details just a value. We then asked why we had been charged for a roast beef which no one had. We were advised this was for the vegetarian meal, ( which was veggies only)? The roasts could not be had so were replaced with dauphinoise potatoes,this was the reason why were were charged £12.50 which was the price of the roast beef which was more expensive than the roast pork, even so you do not pay the same price for vegetables as a full roast dinner. It was sorted, the food was delicious which was a shame because everything else was shambolic, so we will not be going again, 8 unhappy customers???

This was a family get together, one couple local and two couples from out of the area. We arrived on time and the reserved table was awaiting us in a very pleasant area with a log fire burning. Drinks arrived fairly quickly as did the menus. Three of us chose starters, all different from the short but varied menu, and we had five different lunches. After the starters had arrived and been eaten, there was a long wait before the main courses arrived, but all the food was clearly fresh cooked and very good. They brought extra drinks to order- we did not need to visit the bar. Three of us had desserts for which there was also a slightly longer wait than might be expected, but again quality was served. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and it was a very pleasant way to spend most of the afternoon. The bill was very reasonable for the food and drinks we had and we would recommend the place as long as you are not in a hurry!

Popped in by chance for lunch. It was quite busy, well more a steady flow. We had to wait for a table but there is an excellent choice of beer. The menu didn't at first seem very special so when our food arrived it was quite a shock.

My husband and I were picking up our Christmas tree, from nearby Welford farm, and decided to stop for lunch in this delightful, 400 year old pub.

A small village pub; free house and food. The open fire is a great draw. Food is good and staff are friendly

Sunday lunchtime and no reservation. The 'restaurant' was full but 'no problem we'll squeeze you in on the end of a table in the bar'. Service was excellent and the food came promptly: two generous slices of roast beef with just the right amount of pink. Great place to drop in.

Fabulous old English country pub run by an enthusiastic and caring team under the stewardship of Simon and Louise.

first time visit to the place and it wont be the last... thursday night the place was buzzing, the staff were all smiley and efficient.We had the venison burgers and they were the best burgers i have ever eaten. the whole experience was just fab!!! what a find!

Visited with friends after a recommendation. Lovely pub, busy but good atmosphere. Service good, professional and not rushed. Can recommend the steak & Stilton pie and duck main. The puds were amazing especially the chocolate brownie

The food was delicious. Fish and chips and Halloumi burgers, so good. Fab desserts, could have eaten them all but the cherry bombed and raspberry and chocolate Charlotte. This pub is in the lovely village of Thorby, just off j1 of A14 (about 5 mins towards Guilsborough. Great stop if you are on a journey from M6/M1 to A14. Not the cheapest pub food but good value and lovely team working there, very relaxed and helpful

Having lived in the area 20+ years ago, we were passing through and wondered if the Red Lion was still going. What a surprise. Not only going but still serving fantastic home made food. This lunch time we had the Steak and Stilton pie, served with mash and vegetables, fantastic a must try if your visiting!. Really good service and friendly welcome. I would say we'll be back soon, but its a long way to come living in Australia.

This was our first visit. On arriving for lunch at 12.30 on a Wednesday the car park was already full. Certainly we were glad that we had booked a table. The table service was good even in the bar which we understandably needed to sit in as we had a dog with us. We asked to share a pate and toast starter between two. We were only given one plate which was fine but the starter was disappointing. 3 half triangles of toast which were significantly burnt. We tried eating it but the burnt taste overrode the taste of the pate. We asked for more toast which also turned up partially burnt!

Lovely staff, gorgeous starters and main courses were lovely. Lots on the menu, will definitely be back soon!

Pub very quiet when we arrived, but there was a major world cup game on that evening so possibly understandable...? Staff behind bar not overly welcoming but polite enough.

Tuesday night, quiet, bar staff got the order wrong, husbands meal arrived after my father and I had finished. Apologies but no compensation. Told if we’d had a pudding husband would have got it free, felt not cared for at this point. Lacks passion, or atmosphere, needs a good host. Won’t be recommending it returning. Food was ok but overpriced.

Sunday lunch. Very poor service 1hour to take the order and the place was nearly empty . I had lamb very poor quality all gristle taken home for the dogs. roast potatoes hard as cricket balls Veg no taste at all. What a shame I liked the red lion

Tip - Book in advance to ensure you get a table The owner and chef take great pride with their menu and the dishes are frequently updated Service is great, atmosphere is warm and friendly and food is amazing

We stopped off, finding the Red Lion on Google Maps after a long drive from Manchester. We arrived at 6pm just as the kitchen opened. We ordered the Steak and Stilton pie, the pork chop with blackpudding mash and a kids sausage and chips. We had to wait about 25 minutes but it was worth it, the food was freshly cooked, the pie was very deep and very golden. I was starving and the mash and cabbage could have done with an accompanying side dish. However friendly service very tasty food and a good selection of beers. Unfortunately we had a long drive ahead so only lime and soda for us. A great find

Lovely atmosphere for Sunday lunch (or lunch during week for that matter!). Excellent service, delicious food. Booking essential for Sunday lunch. NB: kitchen closes at 2.00 pm during the week. Well worth a visit.

We can't get enough of this place, especially the Steak and Stilton Pie...exquisite! We have never been disappointed by the food and always leave purring about the cracking flavours. The staff and owner are fantastic and really friendly, big smiles and nothing too much to ask. The atmosphere is really quite relaxed and chilled out. The bar area buzzes with locals, the fire is always lit and the beer is well kept. We'll keep on coming for sure.

We visited here for lunch and although the staff were very friendly, the food was way over priced and mediocre. Portions were disappointing. Won’t be visiting again for food

Had a great Sunday lunch today, family meeting halfway between Birmingham and Cambridge. Just off Jcn 1 on A14.

We popped into the Red Lion by chance with no idea what to expect. It was busy, well more a steady flow and we had to wait to be seated. The bar area is quite small and the staff busy. Having asked for the menu it was obviouse from the pricing that we should expect a good standard. The descriptions did seem as bit flowery, but this is comon is such places.

Really nice inside, clean and rustic. Welcoming bar maid and staff, good choice of drinks. Food was really tasty, hot and fresh, couldn't fault it. Atmosphere and service brilliant. We crave for the steak and stilton pie it's the best we have ever tasted. Reall nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Stopped here on the off chance travelling back from Stratford-Upon-Avon to Hertfordshire. Really nice inside, clean and rustic. Welcoming bar maid and staff, good choice of drinks. Food was really tasty, hot and fresh, couldn't fault it. Atmosphere and service brilliant.

Just off the A14 ,absolute quality service and food . A tempting menu ,we will most certainly be back

We arrived at pub not thinking of eating it was only 5pm ,we were told they didn't serve meals till...

We stopped here when traveling to Birmingham recently and chose it because it was close to the A14. We enjoyed...

We ate here yesterday for Sunday Lunch food was lovely well cooked the roast pototoes are to die for.

a nice lunch in a very nice pub. Had chicken fajitas and came out sizzling on plate. plenty wraps to go with them

I have eaten three times in a week at The Red Lion, one evening meal and two Sunday lunches. The food is really good, hake, chorizo and butter beans is one of my favourites but the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is great as well. A good selection of veg and delicious puddings. This pub has a great atmosphere and is always busy. The staff are friendly and efficient. I would recommend it to my friends.

What a little treasure this place in. Fantastic food ate lunch and dinner both wonderfully fresh and very tasty. Prices very reasonable. Staff very friendly and service was excellent. Rhubarb Gin was amazing a little too amazing.

My partner and I were driving around looking for a spur of the moment sunday lunch and we spotted the Red Lion and pulled in. The entrance is well kept and welcoming and the inside immaculate. We were quite late but we were given a table and had served to us the most wonderful food. The service was excellent and everything else about the experience was first class. The food was fresh and lovingly prepared the house wine very tasty and we will definitely return. I recommend you visit the Red Lion - a real treat :-)

I pass this place every day on the way to work and wondered what it was like. I needed somewhere for a birthday meal and I wasn’t disappointed.

Saturday afternoon friends meet yearly meet up. What a great place to have a friends meeting and a sampling of some 30 different drinks at their annual festival A huge tent with lots of staff to serve hot food and lots of drinks, oh I should mention a great selection of Gin as well. There's plenty of space outside to sit and watch the world go by. An excellent house with lots changing beers. Keep it up Red Lion

Second visit to this restaurant over the past 6 months. Food on both occasions was excellent. High standard of service. An all round well above average experience. Highly recommended.

We booked a table for Sunday lunch to meet up with our friends and we were not disappointed.The car park is a good size, there is a beautiful garden, decked out with seating and lots of beautiful large hanging baskets. Once inside at the bar it has lots of quirky spaces and objects, really lovely.The restaurant itself is lovely, with seating in various parts of the building, the waiting staff from the start was very friendly, now on to the food - - delicious on all counts. Everything was pipping hot and fresh, there was no complaints whatsoever from any of the party. Then the desserts, WOW, you just have to try them.I will certainly be back for a lunch with my wife as it very seldom you can eat out without something not being up to standard.Well done to all involved with the business, you have done a great job.

Went last night, was lucky to be able to book a table at short notice. We have been before and I can easily say the standard of food is as high as ever.Try the steak and Stilton pie, was delicious.Charlotte was our waitress and what a beautiful smile. It's a lovely place to eat, absolute original pub, how all pubs should be.

My friend and I stopped to have lunch in this little village pub. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were just right (they offered both large and small portions). We both had the fish and chips. The green peas were pureed (something new to me), but I quite liked them. The fish batter was very light and not too oily or greasy. I will go back again when I am in this area.

Visited for lunch with friends, great athmosphere, warm and friendly welcome excellent food with a good choice (I had the best beef and stilton pie I have ever tasted). The service was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Well done for beautiful outdoor areas. Food was light and flavorful, just what I expected. Well done for overall view. It's been great

Went along on the basis of a friends recommendation. Initial impressionswere very good based on the atmosphere but turned out to be very disappointing. Rather pricey for average food and the crab linguini was stodgy, tasteless and very, very oily. No chilli, no lime and no seasoning. Service was slow and not very responsive. We won't return.

Called for a business lunch and had a great meal , good service, good choice of options on the menu, well presented and cooked food. Would use again.

We visit the Red Lion as a couple, together with friends or occasionally separately with a friend about once a month or so. This most recent visit was with two friends early on a Friday evening. The pub was busy (it always is) and we were shown to a table by a window in the Dining area. We liked the look of the puddings so didn't have a starter and ordered mains and puddings. Drinks came quickly and we waited a reasonable time for our main courses. I ordered a brisket of beef dish, my friend fish and our husbands a pan roasted chicken meal each. My plate had dried out, the purée was almost dried onto the plate and the beef whilst tasty appeared to have dried out on the outside because of being kept warm , perhaps. I was disappointed as the food is usually very good. My husband was underwhelmed by his chicken too. For dessert 3 of us had the Rhubarb Trifle which came very nicely presented in mini kilner pots, sadly the rhubarb was a bit too tart and set which spoiled the usual sweet and slightly runny consistency of an English trifle. Service was good but the food disappointing after many satisfying visits. Perhaps the chef was on an evening off but my husband has already said he wants to go to some other pubs for meals now as he felt the standards had slipped.

I booked this restaurant for a Friday evening two weeks earlier for 3 people. The booking was taken by Joe.The dining room is a lovely, traditional old pub room and the table are of a good size and well spaced.The service was excellent, Joe, Graham and Charlotte were very pleasant and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.The menu is short for each course but it is one of those menus where you are spoiled for choice for there was nothing that we would not have chosen.The pricing is very reasonable, the quality of the produce superb and we will certainly be eating there again.Well done to the owners and their great staff.

Cannot fault the Red Lion. The food and service on a busy Mothers Day was second to none. The special menu had a great choice. Everything was excellent. We will definitely visit again even though we are not local

Prima hier gegeten, kwaliteit is uitstekend en m.n. de " Steak and Ale Pie" zag er zeer goed uit. Risotto was zeer smakelijk, groentes waren vers.

We have just been for supper this evening with friends, for my husband's birthday and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.The bar is cosy, warm and welcoming, with a lovely fire and the fact that it is full of locals creates a good ambience. Our table in the restaurant was quite close to the bar area, which was buzzing and we enjoyed the lively atmosphere. Don't be put off by the rather "tired" furniture because the food is great! The menu is interesting, with a good balance of meat, fish and vegetarian options. My husband chose the scallops with curried Dahl, onion Bhaji and coriander, followed by the battered fish of the day - haddock. The scallops were a delicious and unusual combination and the haddock was beautifully cooked and substantial! I chose the goats cheese mousse, which was beautifully light and tasty, followed by the wild mushroom risotto - superb! No room for puds! The "front of house" and, in fact, all the staff were friendly, efficient and could not be faulted. We came away thoroughly satisfied!

10 of us went here for a works meal, it was the first time we had been.We had heard good reviews but we're looking forward to trying it for ourselves.We were very impressed, staff were great, food was lovely and to top it off there was a great atmosphere.Well worth a try.

The chef obviously loves what he's doing and cares what goes on your plate. Pork loin was succulent and crackling perfect. Yorkshires we're so good would love to know exact measurements as these we're perfect too. Great fresh apple sauce. The only slight thing that let the meal down was the potatoes. They were crispy but I prefer them to be fluffier on the inside and the veg was a bit simple. The desert of ginger cake, rhubarb, creme anglais and (made on site I think) ice cream was Michelin star quality. A great little pub that's suitable for all.

A very friendly welcome and good, honest food. Delightful spot to meet up with friends when we need somewhere just off the A14

Thought we would book for New Year's Day as recommended by friends. Restaurant was quite busy and the bar even busier but the service was good. The usual roasts were on the menu plus other options;food was good but expensive compared to other local eateries and our table was in the walk way of the servers going back and forward.

We were running late arriving 2 minutes to 2pm when serving closed.We were given 3 choices and both chose ham egg and chips.Arrived quickly, Chips were crispy. 2 eggs and lovey fresh Ham.great place to stop

We had lunch here today and the freshly cooked food was superb. The staff was very friendly and proficient and everywhere was spotlessly clean. There was a good menu and I would certainly recommend the steak ale and Stilton pie. This is a really good inn.

Our regular group of friends met for an evening meal. Both the food and service were excellent. The meal was definitely home cooked and the menu was interesting with a good choice of dishes.

Visited on a very busy Friday night. When we arrived the car park was full which is a good sign.Inside every table was in use we were quickly shown to our table by a friendly waitress. Menu caters for every taste and changes monthly. Food was superb hot well cooked and restaurant style food rather than pub food.Service was slightly slow but restaurant was very busy and had a lovely atmosphere with people laughing and chatting away.Will return again sooner rather than later as thoroughly enjoyable evening.

What a lunch and what a great atmosphere. We took a wrong turn with the car and ended up here by mistake. Very authentic and the burger was very good. And not expensive.

What a find! The starters looked so exciting and enticing, I had two of them. First: Scallops & pigs cheek, charred chicory, parsley & walnut pesto, apple puree. This was so superb I suggested they offered it as a mains as well. Then I had the chicken terrine with a fabulous chutney and sourdough. I shall be back to try more. Suggest you book.

We met up with friends here because it was a perfect location. It is a country pub in a small village serving very good food by wonderful people. 2 of our number had their steak and stilton pie and it was a very generous portion and tasted superb. Home cooked of course. 2 of us had their cod and chips which were fresh and again a very generous portion and well cooked. Service was by a charming young lady, and the landlord was serving drinks. All in all a most pleasant experience and hope to be back.

Having had a busy day in Hampshire and having to return to Nottinghamshire late in the day via Northampton, the four of us were more than ready for an evening meal and after stopping off at 4 other pubs without any success we were very happy to find this one at this rural location (very near the A14 and hence M1, M6, etc.) and be made most welcome.We ordered a variety of main courses and were very impressed with what was presented and found the quality excellent and the quantity more than enough for some of us ! [The steak pie was particularly impressive]True to say if/when we are back in this area we will be happy to return again.
