The Roade House Cafe Bar & Yoga Studio in South Northamptonshire

Visited Friday lunchtime for a cup of tea and cake. The scones (heavily promoted) arrived after 25 minutes and were not cooked through. Still doughy in the middle and very pale on the outside. I returned them to the man who was serving who whisked them off with a tut and no apology and asked what we'd like instead. The ginger cake replacement was delicious. Tea pot spout stained on the outside all the way to the base so hadn't been washed between customers. Pretty shabby all round I'm afraid.

Fabulous Mother’s Day breakfast, at short notice too! A warm welcome as always with perfect poached eggs….shame I was too full to steal my daughters strawberry waffles though ❤️

I stayed overnight and attended a yoga retreat day . The room, food and yoga were all excellent. I would definitely come again.

Coffee was lovely...hot chocolate was very good... The food.... Goulash was good...mashed potato, needed butter and milk to make it look nice....I'm not sure though that the butter was butter,it tasted weird. Chicken and mushroom pie..nice pastry....4 thumb nail size pieces of meat,in a slimy sauce. Peas not cooked properly. The other vegetables were forgotten and when they came, they were not cooked properly and cold. In mitigation, the gentleman was the only server,and possibly only one cook. My suggestion would be ,buy better quality products.

We would certainly visit again-this place is lovely. Its easy to find, just look for the disused water tower nearby, and its on the main street through the village of Roade. There is ample parking. We had our dog with us and she was made very welcome. We had a ground floor room which was spacious, decent sized bed, good quality linen and furnishings. Its all recently been refurbished. The owners are so welcoming and we enjoyed chatting with them. Breakfast is freshly cooked and lots of different plates to choose. They are licensed too and wine is good quality. The home-made cakes are a must. We are too lazy for the yoga but lots of people were enjoying their classes. This village must count itself lucky to have such wonderful facilities in their midst. Do not hesitate to book.

What a hidden little gem. Amazing staff, great feel to the place and if you’re a veggie, one of the best. And decent veggie Richmond sausage.

Paul is super friendly, rooms are lovely. We have an EV and our dog Milo with us - none of which was a problem - able to charge and take Milo for a moderate fee. Rooms and restaurant is smart and trendy too. As we were a bit tired so we ate over the road at the local pub. Before hand Paul suggested a walk for Milo - 50 yards away around some wheat field - really handy. He has a lunch and dinner menu - fully licensed. We weren’t here that long to sample but perhaps next time. They also have a beauty salon and yoga classes. All this set in a lovely village setting We will 100% book again Shaun, Debbie, Grace and Milo

Great yoga centre, cafe and restaurant. Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing day spent at The Roade house Yoga studio on the one day retreat. A selection of yoga activities provided from stretching to mindfulness meditation. Suitable for beginner and experienced practitioners. Pampering provided with hand and foot massage. Delicious snacks and attentive service. Highly recommended for a great day out. Thanks to Maxine@theroadhouse.co.uk and all the team.

Stayed here many times in the past as visiting relatives in the village The rooms are of good size with smart bathrooms Lovely furnishings and recently redecorate The only downside is that there is no breakfast included although you can get one in their on site cafe Just think maybe a bit pricey with no breakfast Paul the owner was very nice and looked after us

Fish finger sandwich was horrible. For the price you charge overall, you need to step up! Overall, the food is so overpriced. and not good quality.

So disappointed as paid deposits for a Mothering Sunday lunch but was told after ordering drinks that they had run out of Roast dinners! They had the cheek to charge us for a packet of crisps for a child who was starving at this point!

My husband and I are village locals and have been regular visitors to The Roade-House since it opened two years ago and it’s consistently great every time we do whether it’s for food, drinks or a haircut! We had breakfast here for the first time over the Easter bank holiday and have been meaning to come back as it was so very good. We visited here again on Saturday for our anniversary and it was just as amazing! My hubby had the vegan breakfast and I had the home made pancakes with maple syrup, crispy bacon and strawberries. The quality of ingredients and overall taste was incredible and it’s definitely one of the best breakfast’s we’ve both ever had! We will continue to come back once a month or so for this as a treat. Thank you to Paul and Maxine and all the team for your hard work it’s much appreciated and always well received! :)

It was my first time doing hot stone yoga, I absolutely loved it very relaxing just what I need after a busy week, maxine the teacher was lovely delivered the class brilliantly, very knowledgeable would highly recommend, will be booking on to the next class.

Had a lovely meal at the roade House cafe, service was kind and the food and drinks were amazing. Really enjoyed my club sandwich and the cakes looked delicious!

Sunday brunch all day, so opted for Eggs Royale which was lovely! Had a great range of freshly baked cakes, highly recommend the coffee cake. Can’t wait to try one of their fun theme nights. Parking round the back in their car park or on street outside. Lovely friendly staff. Great find.

A first visit for me, lunch in the Café Bar, with 3 friends who had been before. I ordered jacket potato with 3 fillings (which the server read back to me). When it arrived, it lacked the main filling (tuna) and there were just beetroot (not warmed and rather hard) and a very small portion of garlic mushrooms. When I brought this to her attention, the waitress offered to bring tuna – but where would they put it on the ‘filled’ potato. When the bill came ‘meat’ filling at £1 extra was included (which, when we pointed this out, was removed but no apology offered.) The baked potato was very good and not smothered in butter (as so often in British pubs), salad tasty. But a very small and unsatisfying meal, and not cheap at £7. I ordered a pot of tea and asked for hot water. This was not brought and I requested it. No apology offered for this either. Pleasant atmosphere, good acoustics so that conversation was easy. My friends' meals were: jacket potato with baked beans and cheese, quiche, Greek salad – all good, particularly the Greek salad. But I won’t be keen to visit again.

Paid a visit for the 1st time today.. was really looking forward to breakfast/brunch after reading so many positive comments.. daughter had waffles which she enjoyed and my wife had avocado and eggs on toast which was probably a little expensive for the size.. the big disappointment was the ‘Full English’ Poached eggs over cooked, stewed beans that you could tell had been sitting for a long time, bacon was hard and full of fat, sausage again was hard and dry.. then the black pudding was cold and undercooked.. even the half of tomato was dried out.. It probably took about 35/40 Mins to arrive and was definitely not all cooked freshly so done understand how it could be so poor.. such a shame as it’s pretty simple cooking.. No one asked how our food was which was a shame and no offer of any condiments either..

Last night we went to The Roade House for a drink and catch up with friends. We sat outside at the back and it was peacwful and quiet. I loved the house gin and tonic, and would definitely recommend mmend trying one of these, or two... As always everyone was very friendly. An absolute joy.

We visit the Roade House frequently. It's a fabulous place, with excellent food, lovely people and fabulous surroundings. Have been going there ever since I visited with friends. We were all cold and wet cyclists (caught in a rain shower) and they went out of...

I visited The Roadehouse with my daughter for lunch on Saturday. I am not vegetarian but ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the plant based quiche. The chips were lovely. The whole meal was tasty. I added a decaf coffee which did not have that bitter taste...

Had tea and cake. Superbly impressive place - this is on my place-to-go to when I’m visiting Northamptonshire. They had yoga and hairdressers and beauty treatments which all blended into an incredible experience. Top marks to the new owners!

Always enjoy a slice of cake and cup of tea at the Roade House. I feel very lucky to have this in the village and look forward to a themed night soon.

We had our first takeaway tonight.Ordering was easy and our food was ready at the collection time.The pizzas were delicious.Would highly recommend.

First timers yesterday, we have been meaning to try for a while and we were so glad we did. Scones were the best we had ever tasted and my husband even said the cake was as good as his mums ( they are the best...

I messaged this morning at 8am to order cakes for a staff meeting. Collected cake and brownies for 20 people at 12.30, freshly baked, still warm and delicious 😋 Thanks very much for a lovely treat

I cant fault the food it all taste fresh and they definitely focus on high quality. The coffee is great and the smoothies are fresh and delicious. the restaurant looks great is always clean and the staff are so welcoming.

Lovely food, friendly staff! Only concern I had is that the menus are not single use and could be laminated to be wiped down then they could be reused safely, I did use the hand sanitiser provided after handling the menus on the clip boards.

Visited for the first time after attending a baby group in the area. Lovely and welcoming with a great selection of food and drink. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the whole cafe was spotlessly clean. A great little find and will definitely be...

Amazing food and friendly staff. Highly recommend all the cakes!! Great vegan options and will visit again.

What a little gem so great to have so much vegetarian and vegan food available. We had the most delicious cake and tea and will be back for a meal very soon. Lovely decor and very clean. Well done guys.

Popped in today after a walk around the area, the staff were friendly and welcoming, it wasn’t busy so we picked a quiet table in the bar area. The food was delicious and we never felt rushed. We even got to meet Gavin - one...

This was our first visit after hearing great reviews. We pre-booked afternoon tea and despite arriving 3 hrs late due to travel delays, the team were non fussed and welcoming. The food was amazing- all prepared on site and a wonderful variety. It's great value...

These guys do the best coffee! Cake is amazing too. Outside space is well utilised and staff have always been very friendly and welcoming.

Amazing meal to celebrate the start of annual leave. We enjoyed jalepeno bites and bread/olives/hummus to start; then onto the pizzas which were both really good - thin and crispy with generous and delicious toppings; followed by the waffles. All in a relaxed and friendly...

I am currently on maternity leave and live in the same village as the cafe. Throughout lockdown myself and my partner would walk to the cafe for take out coffees, milkshakes and ice creams! Now that my baby is here and the cafe is back...

I've been here a number of times now and each time I've been more than happy with the service and food/drink on offer. Always tasty and fresh. I'm always recommending the place to friends and family.

I invited 5 groups of friends to join me on my birthday and we had a lovely time in the garden area, all well spaced out on separate tables. We didn't realise it was a plant based menu, however, this didn't terrible us at all,...

Love this place. Great vegetarian menu - can actually get the non veggies to enjoy the food. Cakes are amazing and they can’t do enough for you if you fancy alterations. Only thing that would help me is if fish were served to please the...

This is a great rest stop or start/finish point for cyclists, walkers, runners. Our small group were allowed to park cars in the car park and return 3 hours later to refuel on excellent coffee, cake and brunch menu. Menu covers most options you could...

Attended the male yoga classes "pre-lock down" with a sceptical mind, but I was soon converted, I didnt realise how good it was, I slept like a log afterwards. Maxine the Yoga teacher, was brilliant, explained everything and made me feel most capable when I...

Lovely lunch sitting outside in the sunshine. Delicious food and great service. We’ve also dropped in for take away cakes a few times - ALL have been delicious! Definitely worth trying a different one, the blueberry vanilla was the best I’ve ever tasted.

Great cafe/restaurant in lovely village. All vegan and vegetarian which is something they should be proud of. I couldn’t believe my luck when I moved to Roade and a veggie cafe opened!! the food is 10/10 and the staff are lovely, especially Paul who’s always...

I've visited the cafe on lots of occasions throughout lock down and have always received a friendly service. The coffee is great, as are the freshly made cakes and bread. Definitely recommend paying them a visit. See you again soon!
