The best restaurants in West Haddon and Guilsborough Daventry East Midlands

Did you hear the one about the two vegetarians who walked into The Sheaf Inn steak night Wednesday! Well, they had a bloomin lovely meal. The beetroot wellington wasn’t on the menu but the chef (Frankie….frankly marvellous) offered it as an option via the equally splendid waiting staff Harry, without us even asking. We would have been happy with chips! Cor blimey! It was yummers! Vegetarians! Don’t let the steak night put you off. Gloriously kind service from all. Thank you x

Very surprised to see a large dog walk into the dining room. It would be safe to assume that the possibility that you might be sharing Mother's Day with a massive, stinking dog and therefore give the option NOT to be seated there, would be reasonable. But NO. Eating an expensive roast dinner with a dog slurping out of its bowl and wandering around was very unpleasant.

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.
