The Sun in South Northamptonshire

Had an excellent Sunday lunch, Pork with stuffing, apple sauce, roast potatoes and Yorkshire, separate dish of veg, extra gravy. It was really delicious. Such a shame that the pub is closing at the end of the month as no-one will take over the lease. Have been going to this pub for over 40 years, had many family get togethers here & my father who lives in the village will really miss his fish & chips. Hopefully someone will take it over before too long.

We booked the Olde Sun for my Dad’s wake which by virtue of what it is felt like one booking you never want to go wrong, but I need not have worried. Upon booking, Sean talked me through how it would work and reassured me it would all go perfectly and it did. We were welcomed with a drink and/or tea and coffee and everything was ready in the private lower bar. The buffet was tasty and varied, good quality and generous. Sean and his team really looked after us and our guests well, even down to parking. I am really grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Visited with my family for my nan's 88th birthday. This pub is somewhere we always used to visit and have family 'get-togethers' when I was little in the late 80s to mid 90s, and have great memories. It's not how I remembered it, however. (Though to be fair this was 30/35 years ago) Service was quick and we ordered very quickly, but they were short staffed & we were waiting over an hour for our mains, however, they gave us a complimentary dish of chips to apologise with our mains when they came. Hats off need to go to the young girl waitress, who seemed to be doing everything on her own, and doing her absolute best, so she deserves recognition. The food was absolutely delicious despite the wait, and our compliments were passed on to the chef. Would recommend a visit.

Sorry to comment Mothering Sunday lunch was disappointing, meal was average, not to standard we've experienced before at the olde sun when we've been for Sunday lunch.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch today. It was fresh tasty just like home made but maybe even a bit better. Great service, good price we will definitely be visiting again soon 🙂

While canal boating for a week on this stretch of the Grand Union Canal, we were becoming a little disappointed by the lack of quality pubs serving good food on or a short walk from the canalside. Until we came across the Olde Sun. Beautiful old pub with a delightful interior and friendly service. And the food is amazing. The ploughmans was traditional, with great quality produce and everything a ploughmans should be. My 12 year old son had the fish and chips, which despite being a very generous size, he polished off with gusto. Meanwhile my partner opted for the venison cottage pie which he couldn't stop raving about - "the best cottage pie I've ever eaten" etc 😆 A lovely lunch, a couple of drinks and a game of pool - a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours. I can't recommend this pub enough.

Second meal in 3 days both times the service and food was excellent. The Sunday roast was astounding. The fish and chips was a decent size and was one of the best I ever had.

Had a weeks holiday in the Grand Union Canal. This was our third meal out, and the best by far. Good quality and generous portions. Would definitely return. Clearly the decor may not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s an ‘old time’ pub. What things look like is less important than the quality of the food and drink. Friendly service too.

Lovely Sunday roast, I had beef and my wife had chicken. We both thoroughly enjoyed them, nicely cooked and presented. Plenty of vegetables as well and attentive serving staff

Suggest Sher H frequents different establishments then. Nothing wrong with a bit of tradition. Nobody else has complained about the Robertson’s orange marmalade board in the last 30+ years. Typical of today’s woke brigade.

Just had lunch at a proper pub with a great atmosphere and friendly service. We both had fish and chips Massive fish, with crispy batter, proper chips and mushy peas. Cooked superbly. Great food Good value for money We will definitely be returning

Had Sunday lunch here, great food with a great atmosphere, also some great nostalgia in the pub including enamel signs and brassware dating back to the 70s and beyond. Will definitely be returning.

Our family of 5 booked a table for a Sunday roast. On arrival it was like one of those films when everyone stops what they’re doing and it goes silent because there are “outsiders”. It felt very uncomfortable, particularly as we weren’t acknowledged when we went to the bar to ask about our table. The food was nice and the lady serving us was friendly. But the atmosphere just felt very wrong. When we were leaving we noticed a large Gollywog sign near the entrance. Unbelievable. The fact that the proprietor doesn’t realise that this is not acceptable is perhaps the reason why it felt so uncomfortable for a non white family. Shameful. But maybe this pub isn’t for people who look like us.

Called in for weekday lunch. There is a lunch menu of sandwiches, paninis & a small range of cooked dishes. Had fish & chips with garden peas. Lovely beer batter & fish with french fries - very nice. Partner had panini which came with a potato & leek soup - he said it was very good.

After a change of time on our behalf and a few issues we did eventually sit down to eat at 8 15pm Disappointed to find out that thurs was steak night and steak was all they cooked..They did do my do pregnant daughter just chips and onion rings. This is where it went downhill we asked for chunky chips which was on menu skinny fries were brought out on all 4 steaks when I queried it the lady just said oh sorry..The steak deal was 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £25 we were never offered any wine we did however have a bottle of prosecco which wasn't included on our bill but we were charged for an extra steak..we tipped the waitress as we were later eating and she was pleasant enough.. The next day 4 out of the 5 of us were all ill...We did email the pub to thank them for accommodating us with the late arrival and to inform them of us bring ill yet 5 days later we have had no reply no great customer service.. Basically over charged not offered the wine that supposedly comes with meal deal not great wouldn't return

Discovered this gem of a pup whilst mooring up not so far away on a barging holiday… Beautiful old building, set in a nice quaint village

Due to covid all food served in garden right now. Food and service great, would recommend. Effort is made here to make sure you have a drink, very reasonable pricing for food, great job would recommend,

Moored our boat up in Nether Heyford and walked up to the village for some shopping. We fancied a drink as it was quite a hot day and discovered The Olde Sun, very friendly young barman poured us 2 very reasonably priced pints of Strongbow and when I commented on price let us know about happy hour when each pint would be 50p cheaper We then had a chat with him about food options and were offered 3 different menus - pizza, sandwiches and hot food; he advised that this was still the restricted menu but full menu would be restarting Friday 07 August. Despite this being a restricted menu, there was still plenty of choice with both of us opting for roast beef baguette, meat was perfectly cooked (rare) and they were the best chips I have ever had in a pub - crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. We are going to stay here for a few days and will be going back tonight for an evening meal and to take advantage of happy hour and will book for Sunday lunch too.

We arrived at The Olde sun after a nice walk over the fields from Weedon, through Stowe Nine churches. We had a delicious roast Beef dinner with sticky toffee pudding and custard for desert. All for £10. 00 offer this weekend each. Excellent value,.

Have been here for food a few times now, and each time is better than the last. The Heyford Burger is absolutely delicious - certainly the best burger in Northampton! A great local business to support.

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday. Party of 8 and everyone loved the food, especially the slow cooked Beef Pie! They also kindly gave us a free dessert for my mums birthday. Staff and food couldn’t have been nicer - thank you!

We visited Sunday 22nd December for the Christmas menu and it was by far the best Christmas meal we’ve had for years! Really good choice with traditional turkey, duck and a seafood and vegetarian option. The meals were cooked to perfection and the food was all excellent quality. The staff were absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. This is a real hidden gem and definitely a superb meal.

This pub has had it's share of problems with changes of ownership and temporary closures, so we went there today for Sunday Lunch not knowing what to expect.We had a very warm welcome and were pleased to find they were doing food again.Although the main bar is undergoing refurbishment at the moment, this was not a problem,Lunch was served in the restaurant at the back and all the tables were nicely laid with clean, starched white tablecloths. The waitresses were delightful and, what a welcome touch in a pub, immediately offerd a jug of water without being asked.My wife and I both had the roast pork Sunday lunch for £11.00 which was delicious.The pub deserves to do well and appears to be recovering from its past difficulties and is deserving of support.

We met family here, it being halfway between us. The food was good, no specific children's menu but they made small portions for the children. There is a large garden with a play area for the children. The manager was very friendly and would definitely recommend.

A good place to eat with good pub food,quiet village location near to the M1 near enough to a major town but far enough away

Called for lunch. Proprietor and staff very friendly.3 'standard' real ales on tap. Sampled Wainwrights and Ruddles Best and both were well kept and well served.Food was very good, priced a little above average for a village pub. Having said this, two of our party had the Ploughman's and thought this was excellent and very good value.Would certainly revsit.

Had a nice meal here last week. Any day now the kitchen will close. Shame. The new management - whoever that might be will have a lot to do to get the pub back to the welcoming, friendly place to eat and drink.

We had a family gathering at this pub on a Sunday afternoon. The ages of the party ranged from 85-27 and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food. The roasts were large with ample amounts of vegetables. Cannot fault the food at all and our waitress was a lovely young girl who really did the place proud. The bar staff were friendly on arrival and we all enjoyed their soft drinks and coffees. We comfortably fitted 7 round a table and had the views of the garden behind us. I would go back and I would recommend!P.s- loved changing the record on your record player!!

Passing on our way from Northampton and hoped would still do food at 2030. Yes and a lovely, lovely welcome too. Halloumi burger gorgeous. Owner only been there 2 weeks but what an excellent 'mine host' Will go back

We always try and avoid motorway services, we stopped here on route to Harry Potter World, the staff were very accommodating and served us promptly. The food was excellent we chose the Venison burger (3 of us) with my daughter choosing the tuna sandwich option. All the meals were well cooked and presented well. A real find with a roaring open fire too. See you soon

What a great find! The restaurant has real home cooked food cooked to perfection . Hand cut chips and not your standard McCaines frozen as found in most pubs . Homemade steak pie using real steak for me and my partner had the mixed grill is absolutely stunning and is the best I've ever seen. We finished with the sharing cheese board and that was massive . The restaurant looks great with lots of candles and sat at a very old and unusual table .

Very comfortable place to stop off from M1 as against a service station. I would recommend the carvey, the real ales are well kept.

Came here a few months to find an elderly gentleman who was behind the bar who was the manager, was very disappointed, we had to wait 10 minutes for a drink! Empty glasses all around the bar, me and my friends wasn’t impressed!

Tonight my partner and I went to Vale’s Restaurant within The Olde Sun. Tonight was opening night and I must say the food was totally amazing, the atmosphere was warm, friendly and welcoming. Just been newly decorated it was so cosy. My partner had breaded mushrooms for starter and rib eye steak for mains. The steak was cooked to perfection and the chips were Homemade. I had tomato soup for starters and steak and Ale pie with mash potato and veg and this dish was to dye for. The pie was tasty, succulent beef, cooked to perfection. There is nothing bad I can say about our visit to this restaurant. So glad we tried it and will definitely be going back on a regular basis. The portion sizes were big so unfortunately we were too full to have a pudding. Already booked for the Christmas menu. The best village pub/restaurant I have been too. WONDERFUL many thanks to the polite staff and magnificent chef x

We’re new to the area so checked this out for Sunday lunch. There was a friendly welcome and plenty of room. The food was very good and it was a lovely experience.

I had a roast again a week ago and must say it was delicious. The meat and all the veg were very well cooked and the Yorkshire home made and crispy. I eat out most sundays and have decided this is defiantly going to be one of my regular roasts. I am going tonight to try one of the other meals with my partner.

Welcoming atmosphere, lovely warm REAL fire, great food and good beer. Staff very friendly and a pleasure.

Just back from taking a friend here for dinner. We decided to order the Camembert sharing platter and the seafood platter, they were both delicious and will definitely be recommending this place to friends!

Chose this pub as a half way pub and I know the village. The menu isn't cheap for pub grub £12/13 for a (Venison) Burger, or Fish and chips or Camembert as a main/sharing plate. They had no Prawns, Sausages or Fish - partly apparently because of the roadworks in the village (we got there, coming from M1 and Weedon). Service was good - we were almost the only ones there (it was very cold with all the doors open). Tues lunchtime was empty, unsurprisingly. It's an old, quite dark, character pub. Lots of space. Venison burger was about right - cooked perfectly dark pink, baked Camembert came with 6 generous slices of mixed bread. The chips were great, as was the coleslaw, I've eaten locally at Weedon with far better value for money. The presentation suggested they take pride in their food and maybe our timing was a bit Fawlty Towers regarding deliveries. I didn't think it was really worth the money for the food, but depends on your idea of value.

Last year I wrote a review of this pub because they had changed their lunch menu. ( Removed all sandwiches and only full meals available) Pleased to hear from a neighbour that sandwiches were now available again at lunchtime and so went for lunch today. Excellent lunch had by all. This pub will now once again be a stop off point for our walking group.

Not having been to this lovely old pub for a few years we decided to quench our thirst early doors on a Friday evening .

We had a fab lunch at the Olde Sun taking our older son as an end of term treat, the food was lovely and we had great service. My friend had also asked if we could use the pub garden to host an end of school party straight from school as our younger son’s village school is right next door. The landlord could not have been better, he was happy for us all to meet, bring garden games and nibbles for the kids and he would supply ice cream and juice. He catered for several special dietary needs without quibble and the waitress was amazing, bringing numerous bowls of ice cream to kids (think trying to herd cats). Hospitality at its finest, relaxed and inclusive, we are lucky to have such a great pub in our village.

What a lovely building! Mellow red Northamptonshire stone, real sense of a good old fashioned English pub. Only two miles off the M1 but a world away. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant area with waitress service. Prices were very reasonably and there were several items on the menu that you don't find in the big pub chains - mussels being one. Food was well produced and service attentive. The bar area was lovely and we felt well looked after. Under new management. Good luck to them!!

We would like to thank Richard , the Chef and all the Staff at the Olde Sun Nether Heyford for our Mother’s 85 th Birthday Luncheon .The food and the service was excellent, we also enjoyed the takeaway Fish and Chips on Friday evening .

Myself and husband visited after being recommended to the Inn. We booked a table for two and had quick communications via email with the pub to get the table booked.

We had a Sunday lunch for the first time today 10 June 2018 since new management and previous carvery. The roast was very good as was the starter and the dessert.

We had lunch last Monday, and the food was superb, Served extremely well, tasty, good portions, and the Mussels and the Chicken dishes got much praise.

After hearing this pub was under new management We popped in for a meal one Friday evening.

This lovely old inn has kept all its historical trappings and decor. Whilst being added to over the generations it is totally fascinating. Forget cream and sage green interiors, this is a wonderfully cluttered, brassy pub of times gone by, and not spoiled by today’s fashion of pale and minimalist. This is more your Jamaica innas you imagined it before it got ruined. A total mesmerising experience.

We visited this pub for lunch on Sunday and had a lovely meal in the garden. Our dog came with us and we all had a great time. It's good to find places where you don't have to leave the dog in the car as they welcomed her as well as us. Very friendly staff.

Today had Sunday lunch at the Olde Sun Inn at Nether Heyford that was quite disappointing. Instead of the carvery it is now fixed menu. The plates have got larger but the servings are small, particularly for the increased price. The Inn used to offer...

Visited the pub for a roast and brought the dog along as well as the pub is dog friendly. Great meal, reasonable prices and attentive staff who did everything possible make our visit an enjoyable one. We ate ours in the beer garden which made...

Have eaten here Several times in the last couple of weeks, evening meals and a Sunday Lunch, made to feel really welcome and the food was lovely and fresh also great value for money. Would highly recommend a visit.

This lovely old restaurant has recently been renovated under new management. It does, however, retain its old world charm. Very helpful waitresses took our orders promptly, after we had chosen from a good range of dishes. The food, when it arrived, was hot and tasty....

The purpose of our visit was purely due to a recommendation from one of our friends. I must admit that I was very impressed by the overall experience. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by the bar staff and the locals. Service...

I stopped by for Sunday lunch with my parents, food was great in this lovely traditional pub. Real ale on tap and the food was fresh, well presented and tasted amazing. The owner has only been here 2 weeks and is working wonders already. He was very friendly and it was a nice change to have an owner to takes the time to talk to his customers. I can highly recommend. Great garden too!

We popped in for a drink but ended up staying for dinner! All credit to the new chef the food was great. Staff are all friendly. Lovely village pub and well worth a visit.

Been there twice now for food and had a fantastic meal each time. We will definitely be going back for more, good friendly staff and good atmosphere at the weekend.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch as we had eaten here a couple of times before.

We came a for pub food and found so much more . A creative menu ((the cheeseballs are highly recommended), very friendly staff, and all set in a comfortable village pub setting. I understand this pub is under new management - although this was our first visit, all I can say is keep doing what you're doing.

Well, what came i say, if you are looking for a traditional village pub, with a great Landlord, friendly staff and fantastic food, The Olde Sun is the place to go.

Fabulous, new chef, great menu, warm welcome. Glad to be a stone's throw away. Give it a try, the new look is good. Some changes for the better. Needs some back ground music.

The Pub Restaurant is now under new management, with new Management, Staff and a top quality, Restaurant Chef.

Lovely old pub delicious food,attentive host. The pub has very recently changed hands and the future looks promising. We will definitely go back

Stopped for lunch about halfway on our journey. Couldn't have been better, staff friendly food excellent for the meat eater, the fish eater and the vegetarian. We will probably stop there on the way back.

We booked a meal for us and 11 friends last Sunday for a lunchtime get-together. Everyone said they really enjoyed the experience and how good the food was. The service was again excellent and the staff were very friendly. Again the carvery had a choice of four meats, the quantities were ample and hence the value for money was exceptional.

This pub used to be our pub of choice for a lunch stop during a walk. Calling in every couple of months or so. Last winter we even persuaded our local walking group to go there and attended with a group of 15 people. The lunchtime sandwich menu was excellent and well priced. ( perfect for a lunch stop) Sadly the sandwich menu has been removed and only full meals are now available and although these were good they were not what we wanted and were more expensive. With regret this pub will be removed from our choice of lunch stops.

There is no website and when I called the landlady said we would be cooking our steaks ourselves. The only other food on offer was Chicken, Scampi and Halloumi.

Waked into the village from nearby barge mooring, not knowing what to expect. Lovely old place with bar skittles and more brassware than I've ever seen in a pub. Several top notch real ales and friendly staff who happily accommodated us and our mutt. Mainly steaks on offer but all the cuts ordered were large and very high quality, presented on hot stones thus allowing you to effectively cook to your liking. My only whinge is that the "fast food chips" let the meal down somewhat - need to switch to chunky home prepared so as to match the quality of the meat but nonetheless, this was an enjoyable meal and evening overall. Probably the best evening out for us during the week spent barging in the general vicinity. Nice one.

We took three friends from Scotland (Scots are noted for the care taken in spending their money) to the Olde Sun for a Sunday carvery, and they were so impressed with the choice of meats, the size of the portions, the overall quality of the meals and the fantastic value for money that one of them insisted on paying for all five of us!

We have stopped at this pub 3 times when passing on our canal boat, and will definitely return. The pub is quiet but friendly, with beautiful appearance. The old signs and agricultural tools outside add to the charm of the old sandstone building. The inside is blanketed with gleaming brass ornaments, stunning! We have eaten here twice, the first time very good simple home cooked food, yesterday a very new experience!! I think they are trying new menu ideas and it was outstanding. We had king prawns and scallops cooked on a volcanic stone which was wonderful. Other options were steaks, chicken or halloumi cooked in the same way. Definitely reccommend it!!!

We've now had several carveries here. It's a great way of enjoying a Sunday Lunch without the effort of cooking it. Portion sizes are substantial and you won't leave there feeling hungry. Nice and quick to find a seat and good value for money. Can't comment on the weekday food as they don't do carvery in the week, which is a shame!

I had never been to Nether Heyford before, let alone this pub, what a superlative place. You know as soon as you drive in the car park, you got it right, the building, the old advertising signs, the farm implements, etc. give it a real welcome feeling. This continues inside with the great layout, the antiques, the bric a brac, the general overall ambience. The menu is good, the food excellent, no complaints whatsoever, I will definitely return.

Interesting pub with plenty of room for cosy chats. Great traditional deco and very pleasant beers. Food was so so. Had jacket potatoes which were just okay but the liver and onions was well done. Publican was a very friendly woman. Worth a visit overall.

FABULOUS!We have regularly used the carvery on a Sunday, taken our family and friends and its the best Sunday roast in the area! Excellent food. 3 delicious meats, super roast potatoes, lovely veg (particularly lovely cauliflower cheese) and really tasty gravy not like you get at times when its in a mass produced chain pub.The carvery is served until 5pm and we have arrived at 4.30pm and the food was just as delicious...often when you arrive at a pub just before end of service the food can be under par but not here.The ladies that do the carvery work very hard to produce a lovely roast and have always worn gloves and use tongues without fail so I find the previous review very difficult to believe as our experience on many occasions could not be more different.We will be back very soon....

My husband I went in on Saturday evening for a drink. Locals welcoming and bar maid excellent. Booked for the carvery on the Sunday.. The meat looked liked like it had been killed at least 3 times before we ate it. Meat was dry to a level I'd never seen, potatoes cold, cabbage was drowning in water, cauliflower was a dollop if white stuff, there was only 2 peices of parsnips that were unrecognisable as food for human consumption,, I asked for a Yorkshire pudding which I recognised as Aunt Betsies, there were 3 on a plate on a table next to the carvery not covered or under heat that the chef was going to put on my plate, I asked if there was a fresh one, she went into her plate warmer picked one up and threw it on to my plate saying "sorry about the hands" I was in total shock at this point. The food was cold and inedible the gravy was cold we left the table without eating more than a couple of mouthfuls. We went into the bar to finish our drinks and the cook came out and asked if we enjoyed our food. Not only did she fail to notice we left our food on the table directly in front of the carvery she failed to notice we were in the bar within 5 Mins of being at the carvery. When we said no and told her why, she looked at us in discussed as said "I find that hard to believe no one else has compained" she didn't look at us or attempted to defend the pathetic excuse she attempted to make us eat in the name of food. A few mins later she came back to the bar area and put the money we paid for the food on the table. We didn't get " I am sorry you weren't happy with the food it is a bit late in the afternoon and it wasn't at its best" we got "there your money back," she didn't even stop whilst putting it on the table.its such a shame as it is a fantastic building shame the humans that occupy it let it down.

Three of us ordered a burger but they were awful. Didn't eat them but nobody asked why. The bun was rock hard and the burger was over cooked. Wanted to try Sunday Lunch but it's put us off. Overkill on the brass, bit creepy. Barmaid is lovely though.

We discovered the Olde Sun a few years ago when looking for a stop off the M1 that was more inviting than the Service Station. In those days we'd found a gem. A lovely quirky old pub with a lovely garden in a pleasant village. We sampled both lunch and evening meals which were excellent. Unfortunately the pub appears to have changed hands and when we last stopped for lunch the service and food were indifferent. When we called again we had forgotten this but we needn't have worried about indifferent food because they no longer do evening meals. Very disappointing. They'll have to work hard to entice us back.

the best carvery around went on Sunday 19 Feb good food god value and service with a smile nothing was to much trouble for the staff/chef will be back

The best carvery around, really lovely village pub with great food, good value and nice atmosphere by an open fire.

We arrived 30 minutes before our booking at 2.00pm. It was unusual from the start asking us to pay for the carvery on arrival. We could see why as the food was sparse and had been on the carvery trolley for some time. When asked for more swede the answer was no none left. Other veg was just the same, not much of it and what was left over had been on show for some time.Roast potatoes were also dried up. Roast Beef was not bad but have tasted better.All in all we felt let down at having to pay over £7.00 each for one course and for such poor quality.We have eaten at The Olde Sun several times some years ago when the quality was excellent.

Generous servings of the meats on offer (today, beef, lamb, turkey).We were booked in for 2.30pm, service runs from 12 midday to 5.00pm, the choice of vegetables was good and everything was hot, but like any food that is kept hot for buffet style service it was probably better when freshly served up. Early days for them as this is a new service for this pub. I'd recommend trying an earlier booking

Always a good welcome and a beautiful open log file, spot all the unusual items amongst their brasses.

Called in with family for a Christmas Day drink, lovely atmosphere and friendly people, what a lovely pub, just glad I don't have to clean the brass !On each table where, mince pies crisps sausage roll etc. All very welcome , will call in again.On the wall out in the car park was old signs for long gone products, very interesting!

I've driven from M1 J16 towards Daventry and past their sign but never been to look for the pub in NETHER HEYFORD. However having found it - no easy task - what a delight it turned out to be. Parked outside and met inside door with warm greeting from staff and a multiple choice of drinks. Atmosphere really good with copper/brass paraphernalia everywhere and what looked like a nice wide menu choice if I'd chosen to eat. Some table skittles type game in the corner and Sky on mute so I could read and sup my beer in peace or look up and follow what was going on. I'll make a point of going another time now I know where it is. Recommended good pint.

Hadn't been here for a very, very long time. And inside still the same olde worlde pub. Service was with a smile, proper beer and good choice. Banks was very nice! Sat down and had some food. Was very good. Good old pub grub, steak pie was great. Prices were good so thoroughly enjoyed, young girl serving was lovely, all in all great.will go back a lot sooner....

We have visited this pub many times over the last couple of years. It is very traditional and maybe even olde worlde inside with many brass and copper ornaments and enamel signs for brands gone by! They have usually got four hand pulled ales (including Pedigree and Ruddles Best) aswell as lagers, keg beers and several wine choices.The pub changed ownership at the end of 2015 and a few changes were put in place that some won't like, but basically the often underused formal dining room was repurposed as a sports bar for the Saturday crowd but this still leaves room for about eight or so tables in the lounge area, plus you can eat in the large bar area too.The menu is typically pub grub and a main meal will cost from around £9 and upwards. The food is now back on track after a bit of a falter earlier in the year and you shouldn't leave feeling hungry as portions are plenty ample.If you are in the area then give it a try for yourself!

Wow what a hidden Gem!Beautiful hanging baskets and Old mangles used to hold flowers is the first thing that draws your eyes.On entering you will then be amazed by all the wonderful Brass and memorabilia- it's amazing a real trip back in time to a traditional village pub.Great Food available that caters for most people including a children's menu and a Sunday Roast menu.There's a separate restaurant area to the bar and a fantastic garden with a bouncy castle to keep the little ones amused.Well worth a visit and the service is excellent with a great product range of real ales, lagers, ciders , Wines and a good Coffee option.

We ordered sandwiches and chips, everything was excellent, so much sandwiches we did not really need the chips.

Nice little village pub with good beer and a traditional skittles table in the back bar. Haven't earn here but food looks good

We had dinner here , a bit of a walk from the canal but nice village , the pub is very olde worldly full of brass . the food was good and a nice choice of veg, the waitress was helpful, worth a visit

We visited for lunch one sunny day in May. We decided to sit in the garden which was well tended and had a decent player area for children.The pub was packed with a party of 30 diners. However, it didn't take long to get our drinks. We ordered our food and we were warned that it could be up to 30 minutes to wait because of the large party. We told Sally that we were in a hurry. She offered to get out meals prepared soon as she possibly could. In reality, our food turned up within 15 minutes which was excellent service considering how many people were being catered for. Well done and many thanks.

Just spent an hour in this pub following a visit into Northampton found a very relaxed atmosphere, did not try any meals because past last ordering time. Therefore good as a pub

Used to be favourite for visitring on regular basis, but since change of ownership gone a bit down hill. Still a firm favourite with the locals but mainly for drinks & snacks. All food now served in the pub area, which is small full of character, but difficult to sit eat comfortably inside if full. There is room outside to sit & eat plus some tables in the small garden attached to the pub. Not on the any main travel route means it has to come recommended or find via guides. Food the usual quick snack type with grills, steaks, burgers, jacket potato dishes.

THis pub used to have character and spirit,now the restaurent has closed , the two owners are often heard bickering and the atmosphere has gone

Came here for Sunday dinner. Staff very welcoming and friendly, food portions and quality very good, would recommend and will be back! Nice traditional friendly village pub.

We were on our way to Leicester and needed some refreshment and a break from the motorway. This little pub really hit the spot. A country local with a warm welcome and delicious food. Some of us had the ham, egg and chips - a choice of portion size was a nice option. The jacket potatoes with chilli were delicious, fresh and well presented. Great choice of real ales. Relaxing and plenty of places to sit for the 4 of us. Beautifully kept outside area with unusual flower arrangements. Good parking space. If were are in the area again - we will definitely return.

Really like all the bric--brac very traditional pub.Great place to stop and have a pint.Also food available with specials and good live ale.

Lovely atmosphere, an old traditionsl pub, good value food, log fire, dog friendly, would definitely come again.

Guidando in autostrada in direzione sud decidiamo di uscire per cercare un posto dove fare cena, così ci addentriamo all'avventura nelle campagne fuori Northampton. Mai scelta fu più azzeccata!Da fuori ha già un bell'aspetto, con tavoli all'aperto, luci e ampio parcheggio.L'interno del locale è eccentrico e spettacolare come solo i pub inglesi sanno esserlo. Soffitti con appeso di tutto e di più, sala pub più credo 2 sale ristorazione.Prendiamo 2 zuppe, fishcake con patatine e verdure bollite di contorno (piatto sconfinato) e un delizioso pasticcio di Haddock, patate e besciamella, di cui non ho trovato un nome più preciso, ma il gusto era squisito. 2 pinte di ale shandy. Il tutto per 35.50£ (in 2), per cui direi onesto. Consigliato vivamente!
