The best restaurants in William Knibb Kettering East Midlands

Randomly turned into the yards to see what other food was available on Thursday evening. Usual burger van , but exploring found the garden shed conversion into humble Italian restaurant. No silly, “have you booked “ questions and food, great value traditional. Will definitely be back again Unlike big chains who have empty tables and staff doing nothing.

Best indian takeaway for miles. The food is excellent and the varied menu will suit,all tastes. We have had many from here and never disappointed.

Popped in for gelato whilst in town and was blown away. The gelato was amazing, I have enjoyed gelato in many different countries including Italy and this was right there among the nicest I have had. Tried the apple crumble flavour and it was packed with taste and flavour. Keep up the great work and hope to enjoy some more soon. If you are in town and wanted to enjoy a lovely treat give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

This pizza van is tucked away close to the car wash on Montagu St but serves great pizza. It looks like a converted American Airstream van but has a full on woodburning pizza oven attached. The dough is really light and the two pizzas we ordered were cooked to perfection and within ten minutes of ordering. Great value and really tasty. Will definitely return.

Popped into Cafeness this morning for coffee. The owners were very friendly and the cafe was spotlessly clean. Although we only visited for morning coffee today we would have no hesitation in returning another time for something to eat.

Friends and I visited for the first time recently. Sadly it was a rainy night as we really wanted to sit outside but couldn’t. It’s a tiny place but we’ll decorated and playing nice music. The muni is small at the moment but adequate. Hopefully a few more wines and menu choice will come along. We had a medium sized cheese board and it was jam packed with goodies and we all thought it was a good selection and well presented. The service was friendly and thoughtful. We wish these folks good luck.

Amazing shop with high quality of wares and ladie's clothes also men's clothes too. Plenty to explore in a homely setting 🌹💞

Great cafe, shame there aren't more tables!

Very tasty dishes of pasta -freshly cooked . Friendly service and well priced

I used to absolutely love butterwick. I was going there around 3 times a week once. Since they've brought in a few pastrys they've gone downhill. They stopped making the brownies, cookies, cakes and big cake slices. Instead, it's just doughnut cakes and normal doughnuts. I'd happily have such a big list of items to buy, now I'd only have 2 doughnuts. Since they keep expanding the quality isn't there anymore. As well as the staff don't seem as happy as they used to be. It's amazing to see a small company become so massive, but only when they keep their standards the same. I've heard multiple people I know mention how the standards aren't how they used to be. If something is great, it doesn't always need changing.

Enjoyed the ambiance in this pub on a flying visit to Kettering. I used to do this beermat thing in my schooldays before I was supposed to be drinking what sat on top of them so it took me back to see a similar effect. Very well kept beer and some interesting new ones to me as well as one of my favourites, Jaipur, tho I didn't have that this time out. I left with the distinct impression you aren't going to get a bad pint in here.

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

I am in the Lunchbox now - beautiful cup of tea! The chicken club sandwich is absolutely marvellous! Thank you

Very good place for drinks and really friendly and polite staff

Rang to book a table for 6 with hours notice, no problem. Also told that they could only take cash that day, so was glad I booked. Service was prompt and friendly. Good portion size. Loved the atmosphere and vintage crockery. Will be back
