The best restaurants in East Northamptonshire East Midlands

Lovely cafe right on the river. Very nice people, extremely reasonable prices, homemade cakes (always the mark of cafe quality in my opinion for the treats to be homemade vs. bought in). Delicious toasties and sausage bacon sub rolls. I really enjoyed the cream tea as well, excellent scones. I anticipate we will go back quite often, and I say this as an avid baker who sells treats and breads quite often herself :)

Me and my friend Annette stopped at The Shuckburgh Arms last Saturday until Sunday morning. We had such a lovely time we didn't want to leave. The hospitality of Georgia and Paul was absolutely fantastic they were so warming to us and made you feel very welcome. The evening meal and breakfast was really nice I would definitely come back again. The room was cosy and the bed was very comfy. Thank you Georgia and Paul.

Excellent and varied vegan menu. My favourite Indian takeaway by a country mile. Portions are very generous, prices are very reasonable, food is always piping hot, staff are always friendly.

I honestly don't know why I keep giving this place a second chance. Guess I'm hoping for a change for the better but it never happens. Firstly they are very slow, I'm usually waiting 20 minutes for my food even when they have just a few customers. I've often been overlooked and have even waited a fair amount of time just to receive the menu. The food although not terrible is not great, They seem to be overly obsessed with their Jesters comedy theme, than what should really be of importance. Prices are high and don't match any expectations. I keep going back I really shouldn't they don't deserve my custom.

We stayed here on two occasions, in our campervan to the rear of inn. Quiet and good location. We enjoyed a nights sleep during both our stays. The staff at the inn are fabulous, welcoming and friendly and the owners are really doing a great job. The food was delicious and the ambiance of the inn was just what you’d hope for, log fire burning in the hearth, dog friendly and lots of positive chatter. I’d recommend this as a stopover and eatery.

Popped in for a piece of cake. Got some carrot cake and Victoria sandwich. Both cakes were very tasty and moist. Nice staff slightly expensive for one slice so I’m not giving 5 stars.

Recently celebrated my 70th Birthday lunch here for 13 people. All enjoyed their food very much, good portions, lovely home Cooke’s Sunday Roast choice of 3 meats plenty of veg to choose from. Great Value .Well done girls xx

Fantastic Breakfast! And it was huge!! Super tasty and served with a smile. If you are looking for a quick friendly bite to eat this is the place to go!

This is our local nearest chip shop the food is fresh and curry sauce is a must. Parking can be an issue sometimes but went to visit here this lunch time and a large chips is now £4.00 😔 Unfortunately I’ll be going Grangeway TA bros from now on much cheaper and quality is just as good.

A lovely small village pub! Friendly welcome with good food and service! Will definitely be visiting again!

EDIT May 25 The place is under new management, things haven’t improved much. Unfortunately the menu is a bit dated, prawn cocktail, scampi, ham egg chips etc. it’s like a bang average garden centre menu. It’s currently 23 degrees outside and there is soup on the menu, surely this should be seasonal? One thing, the chips are fantastic, chunky & crispy very good! However the burger was overcooked and dry. The staff are all or mostly new, some lack hospitality experience but hopefully just teething problems. The main thing is the menu needs to change with the seasons, I want lighter snacks maybe some bread & olives etc it’s almost summer 2025! I will revisit for drinks, but I’m not spending money on this food. EDIT: This is still a good pub, with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the food has been lacking the last few visits. The roast dinner is fairly basic and the Sunday menu really lacks imagination. I recommend for drinks, but there is a lot better food for the same price at other similar locations. FIRST EDIT: Nice country pub with attentive/friendly staff, good range of drinks. The food isn't bad, average to high pricing for the type of venue and location. Overall a nice experience the few times I've visited 👍

Friendly staff who are very helpful. Great food.

Lovely qirky pub in small village beer garden out back

Stopped for coffee whilst out shopping, nice coffee, friendly staff, plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor

Have just got home after a fantastic meal at Masala, and I'm stuffed. Saw online that they did a banquet on a Thursday evening and after looking at the great reviews and appetising menu, I made a reservation. Greated with a warm friendly welcome. Initially given a table for 2, which was fine as the restaurant was almost full, but as soon as a larger table became available, they asked if we'd like to move and have more space, which I thought was amazing customer service. The food was delicious and before each course was served, we were asked if we were ready or needed more time. It's difficult to put into words how great an experience it was. No wonder Google reviews are 4.7. will definitely be back, soon. Thanks Masala
