The best restaurants in Rushden Spencer East Northamptonshire East Midlands

Went to rushden lakes for a pick up from nando's.. service was stellar from Ella..so friendly and professional. Thank you guys.. food was good and fully enjoyed which is saying something as I am a head chef..

It’s been a while since I've been to Zizzi’s and they’ve definitely upped their game with some delicious menu choices. Would like to say a big thank you to our waitress Gocia who made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Good service isnt always easy to come by nowadays but she was lovely and clearly loves her job. Thank you!

It’s great to have such a lovely cocktail bar around. They’re good strong cocktails so you get your moneys worth.

Amazing place they even had cake and custard which hit the spot nicely ..highly recommended and a must go to place for all !! Thanks guys special shout out to the Rushden Lakes Branch

Slow service 1 drink not asked if we wanted refills food was very bland not offered dessert won’t be returning anytime soon

We last visited this restaurant on 24 April this year. It was a very poor experience. I tried to contact the management to explain my thoughts but couldn’t so I wrote a TripAdvisor review. After many chats with them later and my offers of suggested changes to their systems and supervision I wondered if anythings changed……Marginally! Reception slightly improved. Trying to place an order or seeking assistance ..requiring a drink..or the bill. Still very difficult to 'catch the eye’ of the food service team who were NOT busy. I asked if there was a manager on duty and got a mumble reply that suggested more than one…….but nobody came to see us. I made a very bad choice. A tasteless grilled chicken ramen…..the chicken was grossly over cooked and therefore very dry and tough. I won’t make that mistake again. My wife chose much more wisely, Shu's 'skiok' chicken which she throughly enjoyed! The waiter did ask if it was all OK…my wife said it was wonderful, I said no, mine was tasteless and over cooked and he apologised. This establishment basically lacks good supervision to ensure that customers are being cared for. We like Wagamamas…but NOT THIS ONE!

The best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time! The customer service from the gentleman who delivered my food was outstanding, such a lovely man. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great place for fish and chips.

Top čevapčići und ražnjiči. Dazu freundlicher Grill Meister und auch die Kassiererin ist super . ALLE WÜNSCHE WÜRDEN ERFÜLLT.

Very nice restaurant, great staff and lovely pizza.

Great atmosphere, staff are always friendly and polite never disappoint when i go in always have great banter with all staff

It used to be a nice little place with nice food. The milkshakes were some of the best that I've ever had. The food was alright it depended on what you had. If you are looking for a similar kind of restaurant nowadays, try Amigo's near Stony Stratford.

Poor food and expensive but place has nice setting

We arrived at around 2pm, with the café half full, and everything initially seemed fine. We were greeted warmly by one of the waiters and seated promptly. After choosing our food, we placed our order. However, we ended up waiting over an hour and fifteen minutes for the food to arrive! There was a clear lack of care from the chefs in the back, who spent most of the time standing around, joking, and laughing. Hot food was left under the heat lamp for up to ten minutes, waiting for other dishes to be prepared. My partner’s chicken Caesar salad arrived after an hour, while I continued to wait for my panini. I was told it would be another five minutes, but those five minutes came and went – and then another five minutes passed. When my panini finally arrived, the waitress slammed it down without a word of apology. There was no offer of additional drinks, no acknowledgment of the fact we had to eat separately, and a complete lack of customer care throughout. As for the food quality, it was mediocre at best. My partner’s poached egg, having sat under the heat lamp, had essentially turned into a hard-boiled egg. The overall lack of flavour and poor presentation reflected the indifferent atmosphere in the café. I would strongly advise choosing another place to eat when visiting Rushden Lakes. There are far better options where your money will be better spent.

We visited Chi's tonight and for what they charge for the meals weren't impressed. While eating our meal we were being harassed by the staff. At one point we were being asked to stop eating our meal while they re arranged the tables. The food while holding back was crap. The only meal that was edible was the chicken giozas. There was something very wrong with the crispy squid. The the squid was like rubber and the crisp coating had fallen off. The Singapore noodles and the chow mein was swimming in fat. Although we got a refund on the squid we just paid and left hungry and left the rest of our meals. We visited here a while back and remembered it being better. I don't know what's happened here but it is not worth the premium price they charge for the meals.

Came here for lunch with my mum. Had the lunch time set menu which was great. But what really made the experience was the service from Gosia. Amazing from start to finish, nothing felt like too much trouble. She was truly incredible.
