The Saracens Head Inn in Daventry

Reasonable selection of beers and drinks. Could do with more attention to cleanliness of tables. Good place for meeting friends late though.

Stopped for breakfast on the way back from thw airport. Standard spoons brekkie which is always good. Nice pub also

Didn't eat food on this occasion, but the drinks were good and there was a fabulous atmosphere

What can I say, it's Wetherspoons. The food is pretty basic, service was quick enough and the atmosphere mainly comprises of people wanting to drink their lives away from as early as possible.

Quite a lot of what we wanted to order was not available 😭

Service is slow (english standard). All the time TV is on with the news - which is annoying and depressive. No music no nothing. Is there any possibility to turn of this brain washer ??? Beers are quite cheep. That big plus .

Not as good as it was. Ordered 2 fish & chips, 1 was fine, the 2nd was a tiny fish tail so small it disappeared and left a batter shell with a bite of fish at one end. Not good portion control.

I visited Wetherspoons in Daventry this week with an old school friend. Having lived in Daventry for 60 years I had seen a few changes but none as bad as this. The service at the bar was incredibly slow, there were few tables available that had been cleared, and sbout 30 that hadn’t- this was Wednesday 11.30am , it hadn’t even reached lunchtime! Our meal took a while which was only panini so should have taken 5 minutes. Halfway through my visit I needed to use the bathroom. After struggling up the stairs, I got to the toilets. Out of those that were there….wait for it,… one never actually had a toilet in it, and from the rest, only one had a toilet roll. This is unacceptable.. When I returned to my table I saw an elderly gentleman who told a member of staff that he was still waiting for his chips. She denied he’d ordered them but he said he’d paid for some, she went away, returning with a bowl of chips10 mins later I fear l this pub is going downhill fast and although I no longer live in Daventry there are few welcoming pubs in the town centre to eat so Wetherspoons has to be a main choice. I’m 100% sure this is mainly through lack of staff and I’m sure they do their best but something needs to be done here.

Ok for drinks. Food...absolutely not! Comes out cold every single time. Food missing on all 3 of our breakfasts and took 20 minutes to bring the missing food out by which time we'd finished. Only 2 staff working and one was behind the bar! The time before that, halloumi came out uncooked with charred burnt black bits stuck to it. Sent back and asked for a refund and never got it. Time before that the chips came out like they'd been sat under the heat lamp for 45 minutes, they were rock hard and tasted reheated in the microwave. Awful food and service. Never eating here again. 🤮

Busy Friday night, a lot of fun and noise, folk of all ages enjoying company, a bite to eat and a tipple and it's affordable. Lovely find

Wetherspoon, very good value for money, lovely staff 😊

Delicious food at a really good price. I recommend the coffee, free refill.

Lovely breakfasts so cheap and good quality

The breakfasts are extremely good value and very tasty, but always luke warm, why are they always Luke warm ??! 3 times we have been recently and every time it was disappointingly LUKE WARM, please do something about this.

Over an hour to cook a breakfast, I could of gone and bought the food, got home, cooked it, eaten it, washed up and got back in to town by the time they managed to actually serve. I would highly advise anyone who wants a breakfast to cook it at home rather than go here

Great pub.. Great Food. All at the right price.

Nice seating area outside some sheltered friendly pub

We visit a lot of Wetherspoons accross the country. This is by a long way the worst. Staff very grumpy and rude, tables rarely cleared, food usually cold. It's a shame, as it's a lovely old building and could be so much more.

Stank of cooking oil, kids food cold, missing items.

Such friendly atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was top quality.

Lovely wetherspoons venue, especially the Georgian Assembly Rooms. Little bit of a 'locals only vibes' from both staff and patrons alike upon entry. Service is slow, but it was a very busy Sunday morning service. Food was good and well priced.

It gets very busy in the evenings, but there are not usually any issues finding a table. With the app, service is no hassle at all, and drinks and food are brought to the table. Food is always hot and good portion size.

Service was great from Megan tonight, had a lovely time.

Freshly cooked hot food, worth the wait

Easy cheap local place to eat. Food is nice nothing amazing but for the price you can't complain.

Bargain prices pub. Popular place among locals. Very busy over festive period.

Great atmosphere food and 🍺. Nice place to be

Menu seems to have expanded since visiting weather spoons last time. Three of us had the mixed grill which was excellent. Love the free refill coffee and it was warm and cosy on a wet and windy day.

Very tasty food and the staff is awesome

Ket a friend for breakfast on a Sunday morning, it's a typical 'spoons but quite an interesting building, food was of the expected standard and served quickly.

Typical weatherspoons you know what your getting

Great food, friendly staff, good beer, nice place

Great selection of beers at very good prices. Whilst not the cleanest, it more than did the job and is very spacious too! Good craft beers!

Very nice Spoons.. , good food, very good value, and great staff 😀

Breakfast was over cooked and slow service.

Can't go wrong with a spoons! Good food and drink, friendly staff.

Breakfast spot of choice. Unbeatable value. Not bad quality wise. Staff always very helpful and friendly. Quick, bargain option.

Great place to meet for a decent pint, and good pub grub, served with a smile.

Ordered food and only half of my food order arrived. Went to attempt to sort it and ended up with a small refund. Awful place.

Bar drinks were nice and cold. Staff were helpful. Food was average to awful. My child wouldn't eat it, so I tried three different meals. Fine for a drink but don't bother with the food. Very disappointed as I drove 90 mins to meet family at this pub

If i could leave no stars i would new manager has no idea does not know his customers and beer is warm (as coolers are not turned on early enough ) food is prodably the worst in daventry it maybe cheap but i would rather pay a bit more for quality toilets are ALWAYS a problem as they are constantly closed i would advise to give this place a miss i have lived in daventry all my life this pub is the WORSTED DONT BOTHER One ther thing if you read all the reviews non ever GET A RESPONSE thats how much they care CLOSE THE PLACE

I am very disappointed with my recent experience. I had to repeat my order multiple times, specifically requesting a beef steak, yet the server still entered the wrong item into the system. Despite clearly stating that I did not want pork, she entered gammon into the computer. It wasn't corrected until another staff member intervened. When my steak finally arrived, it was of very poor quality – one of the worst meals I have ever had. Additionally, while I was placing my order, another customer came over and laughed at me for ordering food at 10:30 PM, which I found to be quite disrespectful. Overall, this experience has left a very negative impression. The atmosphere lacked class, the food was disappointing, and there was no music to create a pleasant environment. Based on this, I will not be visiting this local pub in Daventry again.

Comfortable. Cheap and nice atmosphere

VERY GOOD MEAL FOR THE MONEY .

Went again, still good. Lovely friendly staff.Typical Wetherspoons, good beer decent food and all cheap. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

I have been here before as the service and food quality had been ok but yesterday, going there for a family member's birthday I was struck (again) by the lack of cleanliness with sticky tables and food on the floor and a very sticky floor in front of the bar. I know we're talking about cheap and cheerful and the food we had was fine, but a little more effort on the hygiene front would have made it a better experience.

Lovely building,cheap beer as all weatherspoons, disappointing that staff are in no rush to serve,helpful however very monotone. Food is slightly a let down,takes awhile to come and then is often only warm never hot. How can go you go wrong with beans on a fry up. The toast doesn't melt the butter as an indication. Overall I'd give a 3/5. Plenty of space to improve soo much if they could be bothered but it seems to be minimum wage minimum work

Standard Spoons serving good beer at half the price of anywhere else. Fast service, friendly atmosphere, huge building. No parking to speak of but plenty nearby. Food ok, but not as good value as the beer for some reason. Weird meaningless pop art on walls is a bit of fun. Toilets as per usual upstairs, but clean. Wheelchair access unknown. Update 23/7/24: Just had steak and chips there. 12.99 for 2 pints of beer and a steak meal! Unadorned, just the meat and the chips, but that steak was THE BEST STEAK I'VE HAD IN YEARS. 5 star food @ 1 star price. Look down on the Spoons at your peril.

We enjoyed a nice lunch, would have liked to have stayed longer, but had to be away by 2pm

Clean pub ,nice beers,staff attentive and friendly

Took Dad out for Father's day Went early 9am and ordered straight away. Delivery of breakfast came quite quickly. Glad we came when we did as getting buy by time we left. Was tasty. And good value for money.

Reasonable prices as most meals include a drink

Nice little place. Shame they don't have a section playing music in the background. I'm sure it would be popular. No decent venues in Daventry just poxy little old pubs which don't have the atmosphere of old little pubs that they use to be because the decor is all this mimalistic rubbish or packed to the rafters with people like animals going to be slaughtered.

Good for a cost effective breakfast. Shame you can’t order tap water via the app. Food comes quickly, kids enjoy it and ask to go back. Where else can you feed 3 people for 15 quid as a sit down meal?

Good Breakfast served quite quickly, tables sanitised well.

not fine dining but the food is alright for the price you pay. and the beer is great value.

Great all the meals I had were spot on. Cooked perfect in time drinks were chilled and delicious 😋 Thank you 😁

Really quick service. Food and drink really good price and decent quality.

Top notch spoons, excellent service in a great old building.

Great value for money and decent food and drink at very reasonable prices 👌 👍

We came here for dinner the night before my daughter's surgery was to take place in Leicester...her request. The atmosphere was very quiet and peacful while the food was delicious. Try the warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream...you won't be disappointed!

Came for a breakfast. Amazing historical building with a great beer garden. Breakfast was lacklustre but came quickly at least.

The girl that was on shift tonight was so rude no thank you or anything needs some training on manners only time she was happy when she was leaving the place so uncomfortable someone serving you in the manner she has no welcome and no commitment to her job very unrepeatable!!!! But good bar In general food great

So so experience. Some of our group practically finished their meals before others had been brought out. Lots of missing items, no onion rings with gourmet burger, only 5 nuggets each with Katsu Curry for 2 of our party when there should of been 8 pieces each! Once waitress was informed extra nuggets were brought out but no curry sauce to go with! Substantially different sized dessert portions for the same item, was literally a half portion. Ran out of dessert spoons was given teaspoon! Felt sorry for the apologetic waitress, when the problems clearly were in the kitchen!.

Worth every penny....every time l go....

Usual 'Spoons fayre in a great setting. Toilets were up only one set of stairs and very clean. Service was prompt and staff friendly.

One of the better weatherspoons

Waited over 40 mins for a breakfast Very slow

You get what u pay for, great value and good pub grub. Cheap and cheerful

If you ever must end up here just stick to drinks if your used to anything of taste. The seats are comfortable and you wont be charged massively for the food they peddle.

Our first visit today and we were really happy with the food and drinks . We will definitely going back .

Great food !! Served quick as ordered on app, lovely location close to shops and clean inside . There is no parking at location but there is available parking on side road and massive free parking near park also parking less than 1 minute away .

Its ok for a quick English breakfast nothing fancy.

This is a typical Wetherspoons Pub. Great value and a good range of choices on the menu. It has lots of indoor and outdoor seating.

Unexpected for a midtown restaurant. Recommend to step in!

This pub is fast becoming a favourite stop when travelling south. A cut above most other Wetherspoons

Love to have a big breakfast here!

Perfect cooked breakfast , the traditional 2 hash browns 1 sausage 1 egg baked beans 2 bacon toast and butter unlimited tea and coffee £4.16 truly amazing

We brought 2 8" pizzas and are probably not evan 5" they are so small we get these every time and they have gotten smaller every time the plate itself is probably 8"

Pleasant meal .very busy staff reasonably efficient..wine had a taste of sarsons but it's cheap.

Great breakfast as always.. Very friendly staff.

Great staff keeping an important pub alive. Thank you!

Excellent priced food and drink. Free refills on coffee/tea. Real ale qualiity Excellent. Highly Recommended.

Slow service another table got there food before we did

Staff always quick to respond to orders. Typical Spoons menu, good seating indoors less outside but okay.

Nice pub with free parking nearby. The food is good and the coffee is really good with free refills.

Nice place but paige Ellis did a great job getting food sorted 👍

Went went there for a nice day out. First of all, food and drink were served very quickly, and the food was great. Highly reccomend.

The app to the restaurant is superb and a great price deal ,service very good and bottomless coffees

Worst wetherspoons ive been to, not enough staff to get served at bar so ordered on app. Waited nearly an hour for 4 drinks and a breakfast.. Not be returning to this place. Very poor...

Sad to say of the 133 Wetherspoons visited it is the longest I’ve had to wait for my food after placing my order, 1/2 an hour for a salad 🤔 I asked the waitress if they were short staffed, no just busy, definitely missed the 6 minute target Otherwise the chicken was nice

It was rubbish my breakfast was cold and I asked why. They had to walk throw the garden before I got my breakfast not happy the worst breakfast ever

Very nice staff, really friendly and helpful,food very good,nice pub with lots of space.

Nice old pub with plenty of different beers. Plus very good prices

Went there to have lunch, Monday 28th not very busy but there was a lot of dirty tables the food was alright and served in a fairly reasonable time but unfortunately served in a chipped bowl…… disgusting !!! I won’t being going back yuk!

I have eaten here on several occasions, food is not bad (standard Weatherspoons fare) can be very busy and noisy as it is a large property. Usually has at least two ales on tap and so far they have always been good on my visits. Can't fault the prices though considerably lower than other licenced premises in the town. I would not recommend it for a 'special' night out but great to grab a cheap meal or drink maybe on your way out.

Typical weatherspoons pub all OK,and cheap .

You just gotta love The Spoonz. Lovely.

Marked service down as food wasn't available when we turned up for a works meet. They managed to sort whatever happened out though. Food was good and drinks were cheap.

Great service and everything you expect and more for a wetherspoons. Brilliant summer offers on food and drinks..
