The best restaurants in Daventry East Midlands

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

Found this pub by chance on a walk from Kilsby to Crick. Food and beer excellent. Staff friendly and very helpful with the menu as one of us is gluten intolerant.

As locals we have eaten here a few times now and always have lovely food and excellent service. Pie night last week was fab and the fish and chips is delicious. Sunday lunch is a real treat. 😋 We look forward to many more yummy meals and entertaining evenings watching live bands. Keep up the great work. We’re lucky to have you.

Great service, welcoming and polite. Nothing too much trouble. Very attentive. Food was delicious, best steak I’ve ever tasted, portion sizes are really good definitely value for money. Cosy and intimate environment. Highly recommend the steak, chicken skewer and the house pudding!

So cold no fire lit. Food terrible. Used this place for years. It is so sad to see it now. Needs a refurbishment and new ownership. Feel very sad a village pub is falling apart.

Menu seems to have expanded since visiting weather spoons last time. Three of us had the mixed grill which was excellent. Love the free refill coffee and it was warm and cosy on a wet and windy day.

The burgers were great! but all 4 chips were stone cold, first time this has happened so really disappointed

I just wanted hot potato with salt and vinegar. I also wanted roe so hoped for battered roe and a potato scallop. None ready so I opted just for chips, half an hour before closing at 8pm. Cold, old, horrible chips.

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.

We were few diners on a Sunday when we stopped for a light snack. There were a few locals at the bar, but otherwise the pub was rather soulless and the bar staff not very well informed regarding the menu. Our snack lunch was freshly prepared, we did`nt see any cooked meals so can`t comment.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly attentive, taking the time to ask about my preferences and offering great suggestions. The sandwich artist who helped me truly went above and beyond. They not only crafted my sub with precision but also made sure every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. I appreciated their enthusiasm for creating the perfect combination, and they even offered a taste of the new sauces, which added a delightful twist to my meal. The store itself was impeccably clean and well-organized, making it easy to navigate the menu. I felt valued as a customer, and the genuine care the team had for their work was evident in every detail. It’s rare to find such dedication and passion in fast food service, and it made my lunch memorable. Overall, my experience at this Subway was outstanding, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I left not just satisfied but genuinely impressed by the quality of service and food. I’ll definitely be returning!

Came here in the summer on a whim(girlfriend has ADHD and I played assassin's creed valhalla 😂) after a loverly experience we vowed to come back with my dad. After a loverly drive to the pub we enjoyed 3 beautiful meals(I had cottage pie, my misses had gammon, my dad had the special mint lamb steak) I tried everyone meal and would of been overjoyed with all 3,we then had dessert which are to die for(2 chocolate orange cake and a Xmas pud) the value was so good. We will be back as all left happy and full, one of the best pub meals I've ever had.

Not too busy but I’m still waiting for my food as I write this, half an hour and counting

Phoned ahead to make sure that the pub was wheelchair accessible, and could also accommodate a mobility scooter. Was assured on the phone that the pub was accessible with a ramp at the rear of the pub. On arrival we found that the accessible entrance wasn't as it first appeared. The ramp was fine, but the the actual entrance into the pub had what can only be described as a metal bar at the bottom of the doorframe in the entrance. This was to high for my electric wheelchair to safely drive over without causing damage to the chair. Equally the mobility scooter would have the same problem. The two members of staff that happened to be outside at the time were very blasé about the issue. Is the purple pound not good enough for this establishment? Such a shame, because it actually looked like a nice pub! Yet again, another business that has an archaic attitude towards disabled customers.

My daughter and I decided to meet here and were so pleased with the friendly atmosphere and service They adapt meals for coeliacs and the meal we had was very good and we will certainly go there again.
