Wig & Walnut in South Northamptonshire

Excellant value for money, everything.

Staff there friendly and attentive. The serive was quick everything came out together and the staff always had a smile on their face.

Very friendly welcome from both members of the team. Both pies (Steak/Malbec and the Best Ever Pub Pie) were delicious. Dan who looked after us during our visit was excellent and a credit to the pub.

We’ve visited several times recently, always have great service and really friendly reception from staff. Lovely atmosphere ❤️ Dan served us a couple of times recently and he’s always so helpful and friendly! Thank you ☺️

We visit regularly, staff are so friendly and welcoming. Lovely pub/restaurant. We’ve been served by Dan several times and he’s always so friendly, helpful and welcoming! Which makes all the difference, thank you ☺️

Definitely worth going, the food and service is good 👍

We had a table booked for 4:30 somewhere running late is was no worries though Glenn was very patient with our table as we had a few older members my chicken and chorizo kebab was very good but our server glenn had to leave but its okay dan the man was there to take over and he provided fabulous service and for desert i had a lovely cheesecake presented beautifully and as it was my paps birthday he had an apple and cherry crumble dan showed great initiative and gave my pap a candle and joined in with our birthday singing it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to dine here will visit again

Had a great family meal out tonight at the Wig & Walnut… lovely food, and GREAT service! I had the mixed grill, swapped the chips for salad as eating Keto… Dan couldn’t be more obliging to suit our needs/likes, even found me some strawberries somewhere after I commented that they need strawberries on their pudding menu (as allowed on Keto) and I couldn’t eat the other puddings … Dan went over and above, couldn’t fault his customer service. Everyone was more than happy with their food, from the Pies, fillet steak, to the Fish & Chips… and then the delicious puddings and lovely off the menu strawberries 🩷we left very happy and full! We have been a few times before but definitely the best visit yet!

Food was cold, Yorkshire was brittle. It was late on a Sunday but if food is advertised it should be quality regardless of time.

Welcomed with a smile, seated straightaway, drinks bought across quickly, food ordered and arrived in timely manner. Meal was delicious and plenty of it. Clean and tidy Warm atmosphere

Really lovely place! Didn’t know about the live band and were pleasantly surprised to have the live entertainment! I had also received a voucher for 30% off mains which made it all the better. Food was very tasty and so were the drinks. Happy to see many options for 0.0% drinks. Only complaint is that my steak was overcooked. I ordered a rare steak and received a medium-well done steak (which was still tasty) but I would have preferred a rare steak. I don’t like to waste food so didn’t send it back. Overall still really happy though! Had dinner, desert, and a few drinks.

Staff are very attentive. Food is amazing. Myself and my friends have visited this place several times over the last year or so. We use it as a central meeting spot as we live in different counties.

This our 2nd visit to the Wig & Walnut (the first experience being outstanding made us want to return). The food is excellent and the service from Dan is second to none. In terms of cost, I would say it is average. A three course meal with some drinks and tip costing £40 per head. Would definitely recommend and will be returning again.

We had a wonderful meal at the Wig and Walnut. It was our first visit and it was Good Friday. It was very busy and we thought we would probably have a long wait. However we were wrong! We had excellent and efficient service, enjoyed a delicious meal we were very pleasantly surprised. We will definitely be returning. Thanks Dan and others for all your hard work.

Friendly efficient staff, welcoming atmosphere!

Fantastic food and very friendly staff. The "world's best pie" was the table favourite, it was delicious. I would recommend a visit.

Good was lovely , steak pie great. Very expensive for a wine and soda , when I got the bill I was shocked £10.50 . Put me off going again

Recently went to the Wig and Walnut as part of a large (15+) group. We were welcomed and settled in a quiet area of the pub. Our dogs were welcomed with towels and treats on hand for them. It was quite busy so we had pre ordered our food which all came out at the same time. The portions are good, the food was hot and the littles all cleared their plates. Some of us had room for dessert. The menu choice is wide with options for vegan and vegetarian meals. The children's menu is good too. The whole staff were lovely from the manager to the bar staff and the guy who brought out sauces and cleared the tables. If we are in the area again we will visit.

What a fab evening at Wig and Walnut. As a large group, you are never sure of the welcome that you will receive but Lou and the rest of the staff could not have made us feel more welcome. Our pre-ordered food arrived promptly and everyone enjoyed their choices. We will definitely come again if we are in the area in the future.

Happy to help and make sure we’ve not been waiting too long.

Our waiter Dan was very attentive and funny. Very nice atmosphere and food was incredible.

Thank to Dan we had a great lunch with the olds, great service and lovely people. Been here a couple times before and it manages to get better every time, thanks Dan and Lou 🙏🏼

Thank you Dan for the lovely service:)

Shout out to Dan and Lou, great lunch out with the grandparents, he was very patient and overall great service can't thank them enough 🙏

Lovely meal with the family. Food was great. Prompt and friendly service, Dan really looked after us.

Really nice place to go and eat, really friendly service

Came here last night the restaurant wasn't that busy we ordered our meals must say the food was amazing it's just the service which was a let down hence the ratings asked for dessert menu from the lady at 8pm and it never arrived so we left and went else where for a desert . Would I go back 🤔not sure . Had a reply from manager asking me to email them I have done so and no reply so definitely won't return.

Great, friendly service, lovely food in a comfortable atmosphere

If you're looking for great food, welcoming staff, easy parking, comfortable surroundings, dog friendly and a stylish decor- this is it. One of the best pubs in Northampton.

The Wig and Walnut is a gem! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a fantastic selection of cocktails served by Jay! The food is delicious, and the overall vibe is perfect for a relaxing night out. Highly recommend this cozy spot!

Brought my neice and nephew here for lunch as a beginning of Easter treat and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Great choices for myself and the kids. Nothing was too much and the waitress made sure that my nieces dairy allergy was well addressed. The kids were entertained with games and food was fast and tasty. Will deffo be returning as I seen they also do music nights so will be gathering the girls for a night out too. Special mention to Deanna (our waitress) as she was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us

Shadow of a local pub, always empty bar an event, over priced disappointing 😞

Food was lovely and Lou was a star ! Will come back again certainly

Cracking birthday feed. Great food and great service! Thanks Lou

Good food, good prices, will definitely make another visit at some point soon.

A lovely clean and tidy pub/restaurant, friendly staff upon arrival and a good atmosphere. Menu is varied, true to pub classics and executed well in the kitchen.

Dan makes the best cocktails!! Highly recommend

Dan was our wait person & he was very courteous, helpful & efficient adding to a lovely catch-up with a friend over the lunch menu which was very good & varied!

Nice atmosphere with pleasant helpful staff, good food.

Dan the man. Brilliant service from Dan made our evening. Cheerful and excellent service, a credit to Marstins. Food was excellent well cooked and full of flavor. Plenty of parking and an added advantage was two Osprey chargers.

We tend to dine away from the local area, but wanted something local (and I think we’ll do this more in the future). We were very pleased with the friendly greeting and continued high-level service during our meal. Some people want to be left alone, but I really appreciate the small chat around the pro-functionary ‘ is the food okay?’ Question for example. It helps to make you feel like you are not just a table to be turned over. The food has been lovely with times we have been to the Wig and Walnut, and the food is reasonable value for the quality. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful lunch. Dan was ace!!!

It’s a shame this once local pub changed to a “gastro pub” as the friendly family feel has been replaced by a more formal, stiff atmosphere. That said it is much better now that there is a new landlord/manager in place. The staff are now much now friendly. New menu is good as is the quality of the food.

Very welcoming staff , we were slightly early but this was no problem. Shown to our table and ordered our drinks. When drinks arrived we then ordered our food. This was served with a smile 😊 and was not disappointed with the quality.

What a lovely place. Great food, lovely staff and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place! Beer is good, food is much better than the usual pub food quality.

Dan was a great waiter, very attentive and advised us of the deals available. Food was lovely too!

Lou supported by Callum were amazing. There were 10 of us all chatting, not listening to meals being called out making it more difficult for the staff. They were patient, professional and really good. The Oliver family

Good food with excellent service

Quick service friendly staff and the food was exceptional

Very nice meal thank you Lou and Callum

Good service. Very helpful staff.

Signature burger with barbacoa beef is excellent, the skin on fries cooked superbly. Well stocked bar, comfortable surroundings and fantastic staff, friendly welcome on arrival can't really fault it.

Glad we finally visited this place. Great food, staff and atmosphere.

Our table server Glen at the wig and walnut made our evening.

Dan is always friendly! Nice food and good atmosphere.

We had a lovely evening tonight celebrating my eldest sons 30th Birthday, couldn’t fault Lou’s excellent waitress service, thank you 😊

Great staff, very friendly and good quality food

The staff were amazing but it's a real shame the food and portions don't live up to expectation. For a sunday roast my partner received 3 very thin slices of pork which was perhaps equivalent to ready slices chicken for sandwiches, really disappointing for a roast. We also ordered dessert and the crumble was soft and not very crunchy, overall food didn't live up to the best expectations sadly. The mocktails and non alcoholic options were great. This is the second time we have eaten here and both times a lot of the menu items were not available. It's a shame as the front of house really do go above and beyond, and it felt like they were put on the spot around things to do with the menu.

A dog friendly pub with good food and drink

Glenn was an excellent waiter Service was perfect. Great food ,we all enjoyed everything

Sophie, our waitress, was great. Lovely atmosphere and great service. We will be back!

Lovely food and friendly staff.

Food is good albeit smaller portions than would have liked. Bit expensive to me. Child's meal for 15 month old arrived well after everyone else had finished but still expected to pay. (She couldn't wait and ate much of our meals whilst waiting). 2 drinks, 2 adult mains and a kids meal wit fruit shoot £51.

Warm welcome And atmosphere Lovely food

Sea Bass quite nice, roast lamb wasn't enjoyable, ham and leek pie very tasty but pastry a bit tough. Prices quite high. Desserts nice.

Food was amazing. And Dan was a great waiter very polite and friendly

Lovely big pub , friendly staff will definitely return

First visit: Food took over an hour to arrive. It was very noisy. So much so that we couldn't even tell that there was a quiz going on via a microphone until we were leaving.

Dan & the team looked after us well

Served by Dan who was very helpful and efficient

Absolutely brilliant place and staff happy and cheerful and very professional in all respects will be coming back

My wife and I went there for our 36th Anniversary meal. We ordered main course and drinks. The service was good and meal arrived fairly quickly. Unfortunately, my main wasn't as well done as I asked but was ok. My wife's was slightly over done but again not too bad. We went to leave after a couple of hours and were met by the Manager as we were leaving. She asked how the experience was. We commented as above. She immediately apologized and asked if we'd care to stay on a while offering Cocktails as a gesture. We accepted and stayed longer. We were guided into another part of the building which was fantastically furnished and very comfortable. During that time, she offered us a return date to dine again. She also served us another drink before we left. We spoke to other members of staff who were all very friendly. It's only been trading a couple of weeks but I like the style. My advice? Give it a try.👍

Lovely seating, nicely laid out. Food was excellent, service was too. Prices reasonable. Good selection of music too. A good place to enjoy a meal out. Disabled friendly.

The decor has been upgraded, the menu too and having been there three times now since the Grange Inn became the Wig and Walnut, I'm very impressed. The service is excellent, staff polite friendly with a sense of humour, the food is excellent too. I'm definitely making it a regular choice when eating out. Dan was our table man and he was great, efficient and friendly. Thank you

A great atmosphere, great food and beautifully presented. Staff especially Dan are so friendlyand helpful. It is a really lovely and comfortable place to eat and drink. We went Valentines Day and day by the fire, perfect night. Definitely recommend

Great food, waiter Dan is always super friendly and helpful

we got served by lou and dan and the service was amazing , the food was great and overall great experience

No so impressed with the place On 6th February. Went there for my birthday, ordered hunters chicken with chips. Chicken was dry and tough as was the chips. My granddaughters were not impressed either.

Very good valentines menu and attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Very friendly attentive staff. Food was very good. Will definitely return

Nearly every option was unavailable, the menu was dire. We left after a drink and cancelled the meal, ate at another venue.

Lovely warm welcome, food was great. Relaxed atmosphere. Dan our server was brilliant.

First time visiting and it will probably be the last. Food was lovely but the staff weren't that great. After trying to catch someone's eye (unsuccessfully) we went up to the bar to ask for our bill. It arrived and we asked if we could split it on 3 cards. That was met with a sigh and a comment that we would have to go up to the bar to do it. We did and after the bill was paid (with a small tip) got a " ok thats done". A " thanks for your custom, or see you soon, or take care goodnight" would have been nice !

Nice pub and the food was good, but they didn't have about 50% of the menu. Some items were marked with a red dot to say they didn't have them, so we chose from the remainder of the menu, but then they also didn't have half of the stuff we chose. A fair amount of the drinks were out too. Service was slow, even though the pub wasn't very busy.

Overall, pretty good. Main courses were great, as were the staff. Only downsides were burnt Cauliflower Wings starters and the price of drinks seemed overly expensive compared to similar pub/restaurants.

Fab meal, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Extremely welcoming pub and restaurant. A huge improvement since the refurbishment. Really well stocked bar if you are a gin lover and the menu caters for most tastes. The food was fantastic. The decor and atmosphere is comfortable, warm and inviting.

Sunday night, so quite quiet. Waiter attentive and polite. Felt sorry for him. So many things that we were on the menu turned out not to be available. What there was was okay, but nothing special.

Amazing service! We celebrated my dad’s 70th and his cancer-free news at the Wig and Walnut. The team couldn’t have been more accommodating and made our time at lunch so special. They even decorated the table with decorations and balloons I dropped off the day before. Brilliant team, great atmosphere, yummy food and lovely setting!

I have shared my thoughts on the food to the team, so no need to express further here. Lovely evening. Lovely place, lovely staff and food, although coupd have been better was still nice

Welcoming environment, friendly staff, good food.

Thank you so much for this evening, unfortunately failed to get the name of our server but he literally could not have been more helpful or accommodating! I firstly tried to enter via the fire exit, he took this in his stride and let me in anyway! I asked for a table for three, which was fine. Except I had forgotten the “small people” and in fact had no idea who was actually coming! The table size eventually grew to 8, no problem! He even tried to help us find Wally in the Where’s Wally book!! Highly recommended.

A great night for New Year's Eve. Thank you yo the staff, who were excellent, good food with the sharing platters. We were looked after by our lovely waitress, sorry didn't get her name, we will definitely be returning to this very friendly place

Whilst it is our local pub in Grange Park, we haven't really used it much over the years, as it was a bit hit and miss. Decided to give it a go this evening for dinner with family. I was happily impressed. Service was prompt and friendly, the food across all the courses was well cooked and all came out nice and hot - which is something so many other places seem to struggle with. Lost one star because they had run out of Guinness.

We’ve just moved to the area and are walking distance to The Wig and Walnut, what a great pub to find. The staff are excellent and each one go above and beyond. We went to the New Years Eve party, it was incredible. I look forward to becoming a regular. Thank you 🙏🏻

Overpriced never again medium steak call the vet.chips not freshly cooked don't waste your money

Xmas dinner was much better last year felt very welcomed and food /service seemed much better such a shame & was the whole reason we came back this year. Definitely missed having stuffing and pigs in blankets that should have been included in the price of £75

We went to The Wig and Walnut today to enjoy a slightly late Christmas dinner and were served by Glen who made the experience so much better. It’s a shame there wasn’t an option to tip. Will come again!

As expected Xmas Eve was chaos, but hats off to the staff, after one of their own walked out leaving them seriously understaffed. Even with this shortage they still managed to cope with the chaos and although they missed one of our mains (only took 10 mins to rectify) the service provided was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend and are definitely visiting again on New Years Eve. Many thanks to all there!

Booked for Christmas Eve. Turned up and stood waiting for 15 minutes. No member of staff ever came. Went to the bar to check what was happening with the booking, and they had overbooked.
