The best restaurants in West Haddon and Guilsborough Daventry East Midlands

Small party (5 of us) went for our Christmas lunch. Starter was very small. I had the ham hock terrine which should have had Christmas chutney(?) but came with piccalilli. It was nice but 2 small pieces of pitta bread seemed a bit mean. Mains came out and the plates were very cold. The food was tepid and the gravy was also very cold. These were sent back and we were assured fresh meals were being prepared. The mains came out on hot plates and the food was hot. Not entirely certain they hadn't just been microwaved. Desserts were nice enough but nothing to make you say wow. Overall disappointing meal for something that should have been enjoyable. Portions were very small considering the price of the Christmas menu. Background music was too loud.

Nice place. Dropped in for a coffee with some friends. Service was spot on, prices good and atmosphere is lovely. Dropped in again. As good as ever.

I rang ahead and booked a table to two. When we arrived, we entered the restaurant, and found a member of staff who seated us in the empty restaurant, asking if we wanted the lights turned on!. We were very disappointed with the very limited menu, choice of main course limited to 6 burger options, and 4 other options, 2 of which were pasta based. We gave our order, when our drinks arrived, and after waiting a further 55 minutes, we left the money for our drinks on the table, and left. In the whole time we waited in the empty restaurant, we were not once approached by a member of staff to ask if everything was fine, or to be informed of the progress of our meals (which should have taken no more than 15 minutes to prepare). Appalling service. We will not go there again and to be honest, we are surprised they are still in business.
