The Restaurant and Bar in Kettering

Just had a nice meal here, being a Monday evening it was quiet but the service was good and the food also good.

Great food to a very good standard, great choice and great service both in the restaurant and in the bar area.

My partner had been given a voucher for champagne afternoon tea for two. When we arrived, we were seating in a dingy area next to a large table of ladies in dressing gowns, stinking of chlorine, being very noisy. I'm sure this is find in a venue solely for people having "spa days" - but when I make the effort to dress up to go out for afternoon tea, I don't want to be surrounded by people in their dressing gowns. I politely asked to move somewhere else, and was told that this was the only area for afternoon tea, if I was to sit elsewhere I had to have sunday lunch. Eventually they managed to seat us elsewhere, in the restaurant. My plate was smeared with jam. My partner's Ear Grey tea was a teabag in a pot. After checking the website where it said it was loose leaf tea, it was changed. I was told that most people don't want loose leaf tea as they can't be bothered to use a strainer....ok. After a while the food came....ham sandwich, cheese and pickle sandwich...nothing very inspiring. The spinach and parmesan tart listed on their website as I type which sounded nice, and somewhat more fitting for a £32 a head afternoon tea, was nowhere to be seen. On the sweet front, neither was the popcorn or chocolate mousse. The couple of cakes we ate were ok, nothing special. I asked to take the rest of the cakes home....and was asked to sign a disclaimer form! Never have I been asked to do that before when taking food home - bizarre. They said they didn't have any boxes so gave me the cakes wrapped up in a bit of tinfoil. Overall, the afternoon tea would have been disappointed had it been £15 in Patisserie Valerie. For £32 a head, they are having an absolute laugh. AVOID unless you want to get ripped off for mediocre food (not as described) with crap service in a dowdy environment and with rowdy noisy people in dressing gowns.

The Staff were polite and the place looks nice and clean but the price of the drinks A double Whisky and coke and a double GnT came to approx £18 ....disgusting prices, how do you justify those costs ? , wont be going there again !

Went on a Saturday night and came away disappointed with the service. Food was okay but I don’t expect to order a bottle of wine and have it delivered with the screw top still on and just be left in a wine cooler on the table. No one offered to pour it or cane to top up glasses during the meal.

Delicious food and drink, but a bit pricy. Excellent selection of gins but £12 for a double! Lovely selection for breakfast

Lovely restaurant.Food very good and staff really good..We had buffet as starter and for a little more you could have it as mains.Very nice.

From making the payment months ago to the actual day and meal, not a great experience. Customer service is of a very poor standard at this hotel. My partner received an email confirming the payment only to be be told a month or 2 later that payment was still to be made. When she called to query this no one wanted to take responsibility .On to the big day. Very welcoming on arrival, exactly as you would expect at this hotel and at £100 per head. Escorted into the restaurant and shown to our table . From this point it just goes downhill. Waiting for drinks seem to take an age. Food was of a very poor standard . Don't think i've ever seen roast potatoes that small or as undercooked. My partner was even told they had run out of something she had ordered. Surely they knew the numbers they were catering for ???? Very poor in my opinion. After our meal we sat in the bar , drinking . Was then told, unless we were staying at the hotel , the bar will be closing. This was at 17.45. My drinks bill was £157.00. So they can't say we were'nt spending money.Very disappointing and bad experience in my opinion. Definitely not going to rush back to this Hotel.

We've used this restaurant for Sunday lunch several times in the past and have always been very impressed with both the food and the service. However it has changed hands and when we visited on Sunday 13 August we found the service to be as good as ever but the food was very poor. Quite a limited menu choice (from what I remember there was a choice from 4 mains and 3 desserts), the main course was barely warm, the miserly piece of cauliflower, broccoli and couple of slices of carrot were quite tasteless and the rhubarb and strawberry crumble was awful - very tart and the fruit was barely cooked. And a cup of tea or coffee cost 4 quid! There were very few people in the restaurant, which is quite telling, and we won't be returning.

En primer lugar me gustaría aclarar que todavía no han visitado el Park Hotel - mi comentario es basado en la interacción con el director sobre el correo electrónico un cupón.Me regalaron un bono de un amigo para una comida de 3 platos y un vaso de gaseosa. Para la mayoría de la práctica habitual de las empresas es una fecha de caducidad de 1 año y estoy todavía encontrar una empresa que aún no honrar el cupón después de este tiempo, quiero decir, ¿por qué han sido pagados por los servicios?Resulta que esto vale caducado 6 meses después de la compra. Le envié un correo electrónico al gerente en la esperanza que sería entender que no era consciente de ello y asumí que sería un año. Este no era el caso, tomó muchos emails que ofrecen una oferta por £16. 50. Este nivel de servicio al cliente es muy decepcionante. Se han pagado ya, y pedir más dinero es la codicia pura. Siento decir que nunca experimentará el Park Hotel como si esto es cómo soy tratado antes de entrar en la puerta, ¿por qué perder mi tiempo y dinero.

Nuestra primera comida en este restaurante fue hace muchos años con amigos poco después de la propiedad fue abierta. El restaurante tenía altas aspiraciones y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. En nuestra última visita descubrimos que había decrecido mientras los estándares. La primera impresión negativa fue que nos dijeron que nuestra reserva" debe haber sido eliminado por error. " ¿Por qué aún sueño de decir esto a un cliente? El segundo aspecto negativo era que los tres de nosotros nos llevaron a una mesa redonda lo suficientemente grande como para al menos 5 personas, lo que significaba que eran tan distantes, casi tuvimos que gritar a los otros. Esto, a pesar de varias otras mesas vacías. Al lado nos dimos cuenta de que la carta tenía una "sección" mientras espera que nos podría haber sido mostrado mientras tomamos nuestros aperitivos en el bar - una oportunidad perdida.Una bebida en el bar estaba a punto de ser servido en un vaso cubierto de huellas dactilares, mientras que sin una cerveza han servido en la botella hasta una copa era solicitada.Sin embargo, la comida era excelente, incluso si el servicio era aburrido. Hay un frío hors d'oeuvres mesa que podría tomarse como un entrante o plato principal, que ofrece una amplia selección de platos. Por desgracia, el arenque en escabeche, estaba en el mismo plato como el salmón ahumado, así que cualquiera con una intolerancia de vinagre sería incapaz de tomar el salmón.Nos sirvió cuatro personas en total, cada una de ellas claramente mostrando que hubiera preferido estar en otro lugar, por lo que 'resultado promedio en este conteo. Si desea reservar una mesa para una comida bien servida con amigos, este no es el lugar.

Ha sido varias bodas en salas en el pasado y tenía una bebida a la hora del almuerzo, muy agradable zona de bar, bastante agitada semana y personal agradable. . . Pero por desgracia. Las bebidas son caras.Aparcamiento grande pero si hay eventos tales como habitaciones echaba para campos pueden llegar esté lleno y que la lucha para encontrar un lugar!

Fuimos con la familia el domingo pasado para el almuerzo. El personal era muy amable y el servicio de comida era bueno, pero parecía que había un problema cuando pedir bebidas. Tuvimos que perseguir cada vez que habíamos pedido después de esperar al menos 10 minutos. La comida era deliciosa, realmente me gustó la mesa del chef y la opción vegetariana era precioso. Todo el mundo había carne asada y lo disfruté. Definitivamente regresaremos, muy agradable en nuestra puerta.

I was hoping for a home made slice of fruit cake, but it was a supermarket cheap one and not great....shame in a hotel of this standard.

Reservamos una mesa para seis de nosotros y estábamos deseando como nuestros amigos dos parejas nunca había sido antes.

La comida del restaurante era muy imaginativo y agradable y la zona de estar era espaciosa y bien equipada. La comida del restaurante era un poco caro comparado con su calidad y la selección de pan era todo blanco. Un elemento interesante fue el chef...

Servicio de catering para familias más grandes es lo que este restaurante hace bien, sin embargo, la comida es un poco inconsistente. Todos nos decidimos por el buffet degustación entrante que me imagino que si habíamos estado antes de llegar a habría sido fabuloso, sin...

We had a table for 8 booked for 7.45pm for an evening meal as we were all residing in the hotel for business.The restaurant was fairly busy but not packed. The service was slow and not very helpful. They ran out of cold white wine and we were told we would have to wait for it to be chilled we also waited half an hour for a bottle of water to be remembered on the table. The staff where rude when a complaint was made and really did not seem to care, it was as if they were used to it. We did not receive our main meals until well after 9.45 and you could tell that some of the food had been sitting around waiting as it was like warm. We eventually managed to finish the coffees by 11pm. Over three hours for a meal that was less the mediocre and due to the lateness of it being served left me with indigestion during the night and trouble being able to sleep and feeling groggy and with a stomach upset in the morning. Not exactly how you want to feel before going into a meeting all day. I would recommend that you get a taxi into town for a meal rather than waste time and money here.

We visited the restaurant this Easter Saturday in the evening and really enjoyed our visit.The restaurant is contemporary and very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and appeared to be working hard.We had the buffet to start which was extremely enjoyable and different from Normal starters. You can also have this as a mains too.My burger was delicious and my pArtners Neal was very nice even though the wrong meal arrived. He didn't say anything as he was confused to start with if it was the right one or not, but he enjoyed it nevertheless.We are bringing friends next Saturday do that proves it was good.Look forward to returning

Have been here before but this visit wasn't the best....service was really slow, for example we got the menus for dessert, our server didn't come back to take the order for another ten minutes then it was another 30 minutes before we got them, the manager came over and said they were on the hot plate (which considering they were cold desserts was odd!!) I had to inform him that maybe an apology was in order..he did apologize once told to!!

Not a cheap option but we had £35 per person to spend on food as part of our deal. The fillet steak was fantastic as were all the other meals we had.

If you want to go for a good beer or cider don't forget to pass here!The restaurant serves a very good breakfast with a personal service. Dinner a of a very high level and the service that starts with the waiters and ends with a superb glass of wine.

We came here for our anniversary. The food is very nice but not a lot to choose from (but that's not a bad thing) the service is great and the wine is good too. We used our gourmet society card discount and came to around £50 with starters, mains and wine. Will be coming back.

Amazing food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Try the waffles at breakfast, foccia at lunch and prawn linguine for dinner!

Over the past 4 months I have used the bar/coffee lounge in this hotel for various small one to one business meetings. Each time I have found the hotel easy to park and clean. But the service in the bar/coffee lounge is consistently poor. Staff seem busy doing their own thing and not interested in any customers. If it wasn't for the location I would find another venue. Avoid if you are in a hurry - can take 5 minutes to get served (or even noticed). Best use cash as they are so slow. Management seem to have little interest - maybe this is were the issue stems from.

Met a friend here for lunch. I ordered the ham sandwich on bloomer bread with salad and crisps. It was cheap thin sliced bread with packet ham, no mustard and a few pathetic leaves hiding under the crisps. I can't believe a chef would serve this to anyone, I would be embarrassed to serve something like this. £7.95 and £4.30 for a cup of tea. We had both driven 2 hours to meet each other here. Will be finding a different venue for our next lunch.

I took my sister and brother-in-law for Sunday lunch for my birthday. We had to wait quite some time for the starter and we wondered if the main was ever going to arrive. We had to ask for potatoes as they had forgotten them and my brother-in-law's beef was rare rather than well done, as requested.. Another long wait for the sweet although the coffee and mints were served quickly. Unfortunately the coffee came before the sweet! The food was tasty but the service was incredibly poor.

The food served for Sunday lunch was lovely. We had a lovely three courses but it was let down by the poor service. I in an hour and a half we had eaten a starter with no sign of the main. When asked if we wanted the beef red or well done. You would think that making the choice to have it well done is how it would have arrived! Nope.....instead two of us ate our mains whilst my partner sat waiting for hers to go back to the kitchen as it was red and not well done. Whilst I had nearly finished my course when hers had just arrived back in the table! TWe did have desert which for what it was seems to take forever to arrive. We didn't hang around for the coffee as I'm sure this would have felt like a night cap with the amount of time courses came out of the kitchen. The food was good but the poor service has put us off returning in the near future.

We enjoyed our previous Sunday lunch but today's was even better. We had pre dinner drinks in the bar. The barman recommended the Warner Edwards gin and it was excellent. All four of us had the taste of the regions as a starter which was great.For our main course we all had the roast beef - again excellent. On our previous visit the vegetables were poor and we mentioned this at the time, today's vegetables were perfect. Desserts and coffees rounded off a superb meal. If there was a negative it was slow service however the staff repeatedly apologised for this.

I hadn't eaten at this restaurant for 4 or 5 years and was happy when this hotels restaurant was suggested for a retirement do. Not now!!! The soup was served tepid with soggy croutons and in desperate need of seasoning. The pork loin main had spent far to long on the pass and had curled like an old british railways sandwich, the tiny portions of over cooked carrot and long beans were dotted across a large plate in a retro nouvelle cuisine style. The cheesecake probably had more gelatin in it than one of my granny's home made jellies. All this for £21, the catering will have to change before you see me back there, i almost had to stop for fish and chips on the way home. The meal was neither substantial enough or tasty enough to bother again

Came to Northampton on business, visited the spa and the two lovely girls on reception recommended the restaurant as we were unsure where to eat- very good choice! Food was lovely and we were served by Charlie who was friendly and attentive throughout would definitely come again!

My partner and I had sunday lunch and really enjoyed the food. £19.50 for 3 courses plus a glass of sparkling wine and coffee/tea represents excellent value. The service was excellent (Daniel) and the restaurant had a nice ambience. That said the vegeatables could have been better however we mentioned it at the time and the restaurant manager said he would pass our comments on to the chef. This didn't spoil our experience and we hope to visit again soon.

As we were staying in the hotel we got a certain amount of money towards a dinner at the restaurant. It started out looking good but quickly went down hill. We had the pork belly nibbles which were very tasty. Then we gave our app order and our main meal. The Apps were brought out about 30 minutes then we sat for over an hour for our main meals. No one at any time came to the table to say they were having issues or to apologize. It was clear that there were was something wrong with service. Very disappointing as the food wasn't so bad. Will not return

We were late to be seated as our table was booked for 18:45 but we were told we could not go through until invited, which took 15 mins. Not too much of an issue but the bar was noisy and we had plans after the meal so perhaps this is why I noticed it more.The food was decidedly average. I had the mixed fish grill and it was just fried fish and one prawn on a plate with thin fries, a little uninspiring for the price (£18). The service during the meal was good, although the bill took a while.All in all a bit of a shame because the venue is lovely. One of those places you go to and think with a bit more polish it could be really good.

Very efficient, friendly and helpful. The waiter said what they recommended. The food choice was excellent and the meal was deliiousThe ambiance was relaxed as the restaurant was not overly busy. There was a wide selection of wines and drinks available as well as complimentary water.I would highly recommend this restaurant

The whole experience was weird from the phone call the night before telling me if anyone wanted Turkey they would have to get some in to having to go to main reception to pay the bill which we did not get. The food was really disappointing, turkey dreadful. The table was set in the bar area which was a let down. Sunday lunches however are superb so really do not understand why this meal was so poor.

I would definitely recommend people to come to this restaurant. Good was delishious. Unfortunately there was a bone in my crispy duck salad and also having to pay for bread as part of the meal was disappointing. Other than that 5 stars

Me and my family came for my 50th birthday. We came for lunch and it was superb, we all had 3 courses! My father who is 83 usually struggles to finish his meals but he adored his massive portion of fish and chips and ate all of it!!! My grandchildren loved their ice creams with marshmallows and chocolate sauce! its the little touches that they do but make it so memorable and worth another visit. Kar ve was fantastic and did a great job of looking after us all and making sure it was special, she got us a table to put my cake on and made my dessert extra special by writing happy birthday using the chocolate sauce. We will definitely be returning to the kettering park hotel. Thank you to Kar ve especially. Claire

I booked a birthday lunch on 2nd Febuary in a private room, I asked for wine on the tables, table for a cake etc. When we arrived in the room none of this was done.I had paid up frount for this So I went to complain and get what I ordered. When they brought the staters they messed that up and then tried to give us the spicy sauce that should have been on it in the first place, this just doesnt work. Then we found there where no condiments on the tables, when ask for they didnt know what we meant !We had a bad feeling about the place we were asked to make our own place name cards and provide flowers for the tables.For past fuctions all I have ever had to input into them was the meal choices, seating plan and pay up.Take my tip if you want to have a spiecal day dont go here-go to the Vines reastrant . I did the same thing there last year and it was perfect in every way.

I had a meeting here, and there was plenty of places to sit in private. My wife joined me for lunch afterwards, and the light menu was great. I had a Anitpasti platter. Jack was a great server also.I've been passing this hotel for years, and wished I had popped in sooner.V Nice.

After a gym session we decided to make the most of our members discount and go for a to eat, bad mistake, ordered our food after quite along wait, then waiting even longer for the food to arrive, which was differant to what we had ordered, I did ask why it had taken so long and the reply I got was "we are busy" I really do not think that is an excuse for the order to be wrong and arrive 45 minutes after we had ordered. we were not offered a desert even though we had chosen of the 2 course menu.If you want a really good choice of food, superb customer service, very prompt attention then drive 5 minutes and head off to "The Vines" you will not be disappointed . They do special evenings ie steak night, pie night and fizz and chips night, well worth a visit.Kettering Park Hotel you really need to get your service levels up you know have some competition in Kettering.Even though we are spa members we should be treated exactly the same has everyone else.

The food was amazing, delicious and cooked to perfection. The menu is varied and the waiters/waitresses are confidently capable to assist with recommendations. A variety of tastes are catered for, but would definitely say it was more high end than carvery food.

The food was good, cooked well and served promptly but seemed pricey for what you were actualy getting. Nothing left me thinking that i would like to eat that again

Ate here tonight as Spa members sat down at 8.20 ordered drinks straight away. They arrived 20 mins later not good!Food ordered but had to wait 45 mins before it arrived . Not good .There is no reason for the delay because it was not busy! Just very bad organisation from within the hotel. Staff just seem to 'plod' around with no direction from any managers.It was so bad that we didn't even ask for a desert would have been there until closing The staff were too busy getting ready for breakfast.Would not recommend !!!!

Food here is not as good as I think they suggest however the Fish and chips are an exception!service is excellent and the decor is worthy of many fine dining areas. Wine list is average and priced as such,Would not recommend the liver parfait at all.Not sure if the breads are homemade but delicious.

we ate in the rutland suite for my works christmas party. the room was decorated very well to the theme of fire and ice. the meal itself was out of this world, i loved the lobster and prawn starter!all of the staff are great from the bar staff to the waiting staff, all of them appeared happy to be there which is a rarity nowadays. hotdogs at midnight worked a treat. we will definately be looking to return soon for a family gathering or a quiet weekend away.

We were a party of 23 who waited 3 hours for our meal. Had to ask 3 times for Antipasti (all cold) to stave off the hunger pangs of our guests. Must have been a bad night for the kitchen.

As stated in my hotel review where this restaurant is situated.Fantastic food. If I could afford it, I would eat here every day.

My wife and I booked a table for our anniversary. The restaurant is comfortable and well set out and we were shown to a table promptly.We felt the menu could have been a little more adventurous but we went for the chateaubriand and for starters I chose crispy duck salad and my wife went for the prawn and lobster salad.Service was prompt and the starters duly arrived.....The duck was disappointing - not much of it and rather dry. My wife's salad was a little heavy on the dressing vinegar wise and she had to leave some as she was breaking out in a sweat!The chateaubriand was exquisite however - perfectly cooked. The sauce was delicious, fries light and crisp as was the salad. We declined on a sweet as the main course was enough!Service during the meal was good although I did wait 20 minutes for a drink at one stage.However, once the meal was finished the service declined rapidly!! I tried for twenty minutes to atract attention to get my bill because staff were too busy serving a large party in another room. I had to get up and ask in the end. To be fair the waitress apologized but we were a little annoyed.Overall a little disappointing. The restaurant is quite expensive and did not quite live up to expectations.Ten out of ten for the chateaubriand but only six for the starters and service. We would go again but at these prices I would expect better!

Great selection of food, great to sit outside when the weather is nice next to the pond and the lovely gardens

My partner and I have been to many AA rated restaurants around the country and in this area, they have generally all been excellent, with the best ingredients and imaginative dishes. Langberry's had neither of these qualities, it's a reasonable hotel restaurant that, as they tend to be, was overpriced.

Good Mix of healthy and unhealthy options - I judge places by their sticky toffee pudding. In this case, very good.

Have been having a lot of research project meetings at the Kettering Park Hotel, in which Langberry's is situated.Everyone in the project team agreed that enough is enough and we should eat somewhere - anywhere - else! The food takes an age to arrive, is uninspiring (pasta in sauce is like wallpaper paste, fish and chips high in batter and low in fish) , and overpriced. Went to Mazza instead, which is also basic, but was deemed better by my group.

Sometimes service can be a problem in that it is too slow, but overall very good.

We had our Sunday lunch here together with our 6 month old grandson & his parents. The restaurant was quiet and peaceful. The menu was not large but more than adequate & the food was cooked and served very well. The staff were attentive but not overly so. The table d'ote price was competitive. Would I return - most definitely! Certainly the best quality, silver service restaurant in Kettering.

All such lovely staff couldn't do enough for you. There was a big wedding party but we were not overlooked at all. Our waitress was very professional.

Good food, decent atmosphere. The poshest restaurant in Kettering?

Not necessarily bad, but very expensive for what you get.
