Loved the ambiance, plenty of room around the table so really felt we were almost alone. Food was great, menu was full and plenty for us to choose on our next visit. Staff were attentive but not over the top. Our first trip - what a great find 👍 we will be back 😊

The food we experienced here today really was sub-par.. The starter arrived and appeared to be a tasteless heated "Scotch egg" not freshly made but just heated up and quite unpleasant! Onto the main course which was unfortunately lukewarm. With a raw parsnip, the worst roast potatoes we've ever eaten and the most disgusting excuse for stuffing we'd ever seen or tried (this got sent back!). Fatty meat and a bill for £55 made this even more painful- we will not be returning. Avoid!!

Food was good, I had rump steak which was nice however the chips were over cooked. My partner had the cod loin which was cooked perfectly. The biggest disappointment was the service, it was just really poor, despite it not being that busy. We waited ages for drinks orders and then they took ages to arrive dispite clearly seeing them sat out on the bar for several minutes. It also took quite a while for our plates to be collected. Just a shame that the service let good food down.

We tried really hard to spend some money but the service was just horrendous. The waitress we had took forever to take our order, then took ages to bring it out. Didn’t see her again until we went looking so never got anymore drinks. Had to find someone else to ask to order dessert. It took 1/2 an hour for 3 kids ice creams to come out and then another ten minutes for the adults desserts. The crumble came out and the pan was sizzling it was so hot, needed to leave quickly at this point as we were now running late so thought to tip it out to cool quickly. Turned out there was no need as it was still chilled in the middle?! I don’t know how you do that bearing in mind how hot the dish was. Food - 2 stars Service - 1 star Nice looking pub though if that counts for anything.

The Windhover has gone through a bit of a transformation in the last few months I think. Had been underwhelmed when I last went a couple of years ago but have now been twice in a few weeks and both times the food was great, with a lovely selection. The service has been transformed ( I believe there is a new team running it ) and they make you feel really welcome. Plus it is lovely to have the open fire going now the weather is getting colder and the night's darker. Nice to be able to have it as my local now.

After checking out the menu online and being excited to try the veggie Wellington, we visited on Sunday, 02/09/2024, for a roast dinner. When we asked for the veggie roast listed on the menu, we were informed that it was something entirely different involving seeds. We decided to go with it and requested an extra Yorkshire pudding, only to find out they were out of Yorkshires—something we wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t asked, which would’ve made for a disappointing meal. We ended up ordering something other than a roast. Unfortunately, when the alternatives arrived, they were cold, but we were too hungry to complain, so we ate them anyway and ordered desserts. The desserts, however, were disappointingly 'microwave chewy.' To top it all off, we both ended up with food poisoning the next day. This was, without a doubt, the worst meal we’ve had in Northampton.

Went with family of 4 on Saturday 13th July, it went from one disaster to another. It took ages for us to get someone to take our order, we waited even longer for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, 1 of the orders was incorrect. The correct food did turn up a couple of mins later as they had given us someone else’s food. The steak was fatty and tough, we complained to the manager who did offer another meal but we didn’t want to wait as the other 3 would have finished. Waited ages for the plates to be cleared and for them to ask if we wanted pudding. This arrived around 45 mins later. By the end of the evening, we asked for a coffee and thought we would get the bill at the same time as we would probably be waiting another hour. We were not asked once if the food was ok and yes they did take the steak off the bill but it was shocking service all round. I complained on the survey I was sent and did ask for them to call me but surprise surprise I’m still waiting

Came on a Sunday, it was ok for a meal. However took a while to be served, my roast pork belly wasn't crispy as all on the top, and the biscuit with my creme brulee was meant to be a shortbread biscuit. It was a cheap sugar biscuit instead. Looks like it's gone down hill a little.

We visited The Windhover for lunch on 28th May as a party of 3; my wife, her aunt and myself. On arrival we were greeted by Nicole, who opened and held the door as I was bringing my wife's aunt in a wheelchair. Access around the bar and restaurant area was easy, with tables well-spaced and I was able to 'park' the chair without obstructing or inconveniencing other customers or staff. Service was prompt and Rebecca took our drinks order almost immediately. After that we were served by Nicole who was attentive, good-humoured and professional. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Portions were generous and everything was properly cooked and hot. Nicole checked on us a couple of times, being attentive but not intrusive. She 'introduced' me to the app, which I have since downloaded. This was an enjoyable experience in a clean, pleasant atmosphere with good food served by friendly, professional staff. We will be back. In fact we were back today, 7th July for Sunday lunch. Again, the food was of a very high standard, served well-cooked and hot. The Sirloin was lovely and plenty of vegetables accompanied it, along with delicious roast potatoes. We were looked after by the delightful Daisy, in the friendly and professional manner to which we have become accustomed here. It is good to note that the standards we have experienced during the week are maintained by different staff at the weekend. Despite the restaurant being very full, service was prompt and efficient. Full marks. I think it is worth booking in advance as this is clearly a popular weekend venue. As Google does not permit a second review, I'll add to this. My wife's Aunt is a resident in the nearby Care Home so we are frequent visitors as it is a short 'wheelchair push' to get here. We visited again today, 1st August 2024 and we received attentive, professional and friendly service from Rebecca and Nicole. The food was first rate, generous portions served hot from the extensive menu. Another enjoyable experience and great value for money.

Setting is beautiful with good walk for dogs right by the Windhover. Lots of outside seating which is lovely with or without a dog, trees for shade. Inside is very smart and comfortable, not crowded in and it was still cool despite it being a very hot day. Both bar and table staff were very polite and engaging, and service was prompt. We booked online which was really simple even for me. The food was of very good quality, portion size was good and everything was fresh and hot. I would definitely recommend a visit.

I pre-booked a table for 8 several weeks before our visit, with it being Father’s Day. On arrival we were told that we had to sit in the bar area and would have to order our food and drinks as they could not provide table service (unsure as to why not). This was challenging, given that there were 8 of us, and took away enjoyment from the meal. The soup and another dish were out of stock, so we had to order alternatives. The food was slow to arrive, with the desert not arriving until over 2 hours after we arrived. Overall the experience was quite tedious and I feel this negatively affected the experience. I have visited the Windhover numerous times and have not been disappointed, but I am afraid to say that this occasion was particularly poor and we left feeling disheartened.

First visited a while ago and was blown away by this place, hence the return. Still looks lovely, but the food was less than impressive. Steak tough, stringy & certainly not of previous quality. Oven baked jacket potato had thin sallow skin with watery only just cooked fleshand although the topping was tasty, it was conspicuous by its virtual absence. My expectation of an oven baked jacket is a crispy skin, fluffy interior pulled with a reasonably generous helping of filling - this just did not hit the brief. A shout out to the vegetable soup though, that was delicious! Staff member that served us - efficient, if a little abrupt. Good choice of drinks and dog friendly.

Just revisited 11 Dec 2024 and unfortunately it hasn't got any better, the mains arrived before the starters, they were then taken back, the starter was good when it arrived, however when the mains were returned they had dried out, so not good. Tough and not tasty. At least my cats got a treat as I took the meat home. Will maybe try again in another couple of years, if it's still open. Very poor One of my local favorites no more. Starters arrived with no dips or salad, when questioned the bar staff ask what was missing, I didn't write the menu. Then waited to the point of leaving for the main which also arrived wrong, lost patients No apologies not offer of a refund ( wouldn't lower myself to ask for one) won't be bac. A real shame
