The best restaurants in Rushden Bates East Northamptonshire East Midlands

We dined here yesterday evening as a first time experience and we will certainly be coming back! A beautiful family run restaurant who put love into every dish they make. The managers warm welcome gave such a personalised touch and their service through was second to none. The son was learning the ropes and he really tried, he was funny and extremely polite. They don't rush you either. The chilli sauce is amazing, it's an absolute must! We ended up taking two pots home. 100% recommend for a great tasting food, great atmosphere and outstanding service.

My first takeaway from here and will not be the last . Food was hot when it arrived within 20 minutes of ordering .tasted amazing . Don’t go anywhere else . This establishment is a must .

Thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the meal, very tasty and hot.

A little gem hidden away. Took my mum for afternoon tea. Lovely old fashion tea set already set out ( cup,saucer plate) . Linda our hostess brought out a 3 tiered plate stand. Top plate was mini cakes, doughnuts and profiteroles. Middle plate was a selection of thick crustless sliced sandwiches with hearty fillings. We had tuna, cheese with red onion, sliced tomatoes and egg some plain and some with tomato. Our bottom plate had again variety of cake two of each - good sizes Walnut ? , lemon, a slice of something sweet chocolatey with a bit of a crunch (very tasty) and scones with jam, clotted cream. And some strawberries. We were also asked if we would like tea or coffee. We chose tea and a pot was brought out. When we needed a top up, we only had to ask and another was brought out to us. Linda our hostess also checked with us that everything was fine and also gave us a doggy bag to take home what we couldn't manage, which we needed and was a lovely consideration, with us not having ask for one. The afternoon tea was very good value for money, very filling and yes we were absolutely stuffed. The staff are very friendly and cheerful. It was very relaxing we did not feel like we had rushed. It was also very clean and tidy. Even though it was cold outside, it was lovely and warm inside. Just remember it is easier to book in advance, also you can let staff know any dietary needs.

We have been to this cafe a good number of times and i couldn’t recommend enough for the majority or the times we have been. However, we went this morning and the lady who was serving us (we have never seen her before) was very rude. My partner ordered a coffee and she brought over the wrong coffee, he politely asked if this could be fixed and she told him he was wrong and didn’t know about coffee (he is a fully trained barista) and then just rudely said ‘so what do u want instead then?’ all the other staff members we have met are very polite and friendly except the one we were greeted by today.

Expensive for such a place, but good. Too much fat and too little detail. The portions of fish and fries we ordered turned out to be huge, there was no point in having more fries... we just threw them away because we couldn't eat them. You must describe: "portion size" and "weight"

Nice pizzas, but cheaper options available in town at a better price and on two for one,
