We chose to visit during a live music event, the band and staff were excellent and friendly. My only detractor was that some of the building looked a little dated.

Popular local venue featuring good food at average prices. The only let down is service, which can be a lengthy wait when busy.

This is like home from home. I was at a vets a few mins around the corner & had 4 hours to kill. I had travelled 60 miles to get there & asked if there was anywhere near by that I could get a coffee. I was directed to Stirrups. Arriving tired starving disorientated & quite stressed after a long drive in the snow with a very sick animal in the passengers seat. I ordered a fat fry up for breakfast which was amazing & a coffee which was superb. They even do Gluten free (I'm allergic just to extra awkward) BUT WHAT STANDS OUT (apart from the food & spot on coffee) was the staff & service. Amber who was behind the bar was so so lovely not only offering top service but also asked about my animal at the vets, stopping for chat gave me WiFi password & offered such kindness & compassion that it genuinely made me feel so much better. The staff put the heating up for me & gave me a nice spot by a radiator as it was freezing which was so so nice of them. My only other option was a waiting room or the car for 4 hours not nice in 1 degrees! Kindness is such a rarity in the world that we live in. Thankyou staff at Stirrups & especially Amber for you hospitality & kindness, compassion & smile.

Popped in for breakfast. Breakfasts cooked well and presented lovely. A couple of things I don't agree with are small children behind the bar and dogs also being carried behind the bar! To me, this is not acceptable.

A very VERY expensive place to have a drink. Hopefully now the landlord is moving on the prices might come down. This pub IS NOT in a town centre and I think they are taking advantage of it being the only pub in the area. Drop the prices, update the pub as its beyond dated.

We went for lunch for our anniversary. We are not regulars.,we were treated with courtesy and friendliness. Being vegetarian it can be difficult to get good food, not so here. The halloumi fries and chips were amazing! As was the veggie burger. Thank you. The beer was excellent, a great selection. Really enjoyable lunchtime

Wednesday 18 September 2024 6pm - four of us, plus 3 dogs, celebrating my granddaughters 18th birthday. Her first time ordering drinks! The bar staff acted appropriately, they asked her for ID before wishing g her a happy birthday. The food is always excellent at the Stirrup Cup - a starter of chicken strips - then four different meals, all generous portions and served hot. Our dogs are always welcome here, which makes it our go-to local pub.

We chose the Stirrup Cup as the venue for a planning meeting for a forthcoming trip to London. This is a great neighbourhood pub with a busy bar however we sat in the restaurant which was quiet in comparison. Good food, drinks and service. As an added bonus I met a couple I used to work with 22+ years ago.

It was a quick visit to the Stirrup cup to catch up with friends. The pub was buzzing with a busy atmosphere, there was an England game on the TV which probably added to the numbers. There is a great selection of drinks, however they are a bit more pricey than the local average. The staff are very friendly. The food looked excellent but as I did not order food I’m unable to offer an opinion but I think it’s worth another visit. Overall this is a lively interesting place with a good atmosphere and it’s worth a visit.

Quite a lovely establishment full of activities and entertainment. Pool tables, darts, skittles, beer garden with bouncy castle, sports broadcasts, and more besides. There's a food menu too including breakfast... Ample free parking is available and there's wheelchair access. Dogs are only welcome in the bar and not the coffee lounge apparently; which cost them a star because Sally is an Assistance Dog 🐕 and not a pet dog, and to exclude an Assistance Dog is discrimination!)

We didn't have any food but my husband goes regularly and I went for the first time with him to celebrate his birthday. This is the friendliest pub I have ever been too. Even though it was my first time I felt like a regular it was that friendly. The bar girls went above and beyond helping me to surprise my husband. So a big massive thank you to all.

I last reviewed here 18 months ago. Delighted to report it has maintained its high standards. Welcoming and friendly staff overseeing an ideal 'lounge' for dining. Huge range of food options that, crucially for me, are cooked well, with obvious care. Good size mains with potato options and seasonal veg that taste as they should (obvious, but not always ubiquitous!). Sensible pricing yields value for money. Looking for an 'even better if' to prove I have no vested interest? - maybe serve the lovely gravy in a separate little jug; I loved it but a few of you might want to have less.

Went to the pub to watch the England vs France game , was confronted by the manager, Mark on the way in . He refused entry without reason. Following this he then used vulgar language as he asked “ if he was a d*** head “. Overall a really negative interaction , will not be going back do not recommend this pub especially to family’s.

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

*UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT WITHOUT REAL PORK SAUSAGES OR PORK BACON ANYMORE* They should take down The Lunch Box Sign out of respect for the past owners and any new customers the New Management may aquire as its a completely different place. I had gave a great review for the past owners of 5 STARS which I wish the best of luck to for the future and happy retirement. As for the new management my star review has dropped considerably to a 1 STAR. NON PORK sausages and NON PORK bacon. I had asked on arrival on my first and last visit a couple of days back when I noticed on the menu that the sausages are chicken and the bacon is turkey that if they served pork and all? My reply from the NEW MANAGEMENT is that there is no demand for Pork sausages or bacon anymore and told that "I will not find many places that do around here anymore". (Which every cafe in Kettering actually does and I ended going to one 4 minute away) and tried to convince me that the chicken and bacon tastes like pork anyway which is a ludicrous idea and pretty insulting to ones pallet. It all seems very woke. Other customers while I was there didn't realise what they ordered and didn't seem happy they seem tricked. Literally best of luck to the NEW MANAGEMENT, I think they will need it.
