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.

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

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.

It’s a shame this once local pub changed to a “gastro pub” as the friendly family feel has been replaced by a more formal, stiff atmosphere.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.

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.

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.👍

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.

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.

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.

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!

Greeted and seated immediately in a cosy spot. Dan knows we don't mind where we sit but placed us in a warm quiet spot. Drinks order taken and arrived quickly and were given enough time to look over the menu for our food choices. The food is always good here but this time it was spot on, I ordered the burger which I haven't had for a while and it was cooked to perfection. The onion rings were delicious and my husbands steak was cooked just as he would have had it at home. Didn't have room for a dessert this time but would recommend the W and W for couples, families, large groups as there is just such a good choice of food and drink. Staff are always really kind and helpful and know their regulars well too. They have quiz night and special offers on during the week and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here. You can also have a giggle with the staff but they are never anything but professional and courteous

We visited GWA again a couple of weeks ago for dinner with my family to celebrate a couple of wins for our family. We arrived and it was so cold outside but the pub was warm and welcoming and smelt like a pub if that makes sense? Seated immediately (had a reservation) and shortly after ordered our drinks, waiter was knowledgeable about the drinks/beers offered and was very friendly. Some of the party ordered starters and these arrived quickly and were very hot and yummy, a member of our party wanted to keep some of her starter to go with her main which staff happily allowed Again the staff were great with bringing the mains, which were, as always incredible! Fresh and delicious! When it came to dessert staff made recommendations and helped us choose. When the bill arrived they offered to split it if needed. Amazing food, decent prices (higher end of standard) and ability to do take away if items are left! Will definitely be back again!

Called in for a light meal == UPDATE - February, 2025 == This is an odd one. Once upon a time, this was a very nice country pub / restaurant / hotel. Then it closed for ages. Then it re-opened as an upmarket hotel / restaurant. As at Feb 2025, it is closed for refurbishment, due to re-open as a "transformational healing centre" ... what the hell is that ?!?! As at Feb 2025, there is no date for when this will re-open.

Pub re-opened this weekend under the new Landlord Jake. Open, friendly village pub that draws a local crowd. The focus is on quality beer served well. Pretty little front bar with a real fire going. Local breweries like Hook Norton and Phipps' were on tap. All the best to them.
