The best restaurants in South Northamptonshire East Midlands

We have been to the white heart many times for family occasions and never had a bad meal!! The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The food has and is always delicious and full of flavour! Overall great atmosphere, great food, great staff and all at a fair price!

We were staying nearby at Silverstone and were looking for a place to eat. It was easy to find, staff were attentive but not pushy, food was absolutely top quality and the little touch that was lovely was they gave bread an a few dips as a starter for free. We thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be visiting again.

From the moment we took the walk down the corridor we knew that this was an elevated experience. The lighting is lovely , there's a calmness away from the bustle of Whittlebury hall with beautiful music. We were slightly early but were welcomed by name. We were led to stylish chairs to perus the menus. Alongside the meal were appetisers, amuse bouche, pre dessert and petite fours , warm and beautiful breads and homemade butter. EVERYTHING presented was an experience and a delight and the serving staff were all knowledgeable and excited to talk about the menu in detailandd keen to know what we thought. It was clear to see that everyone there were bought into creating customer moments. I cannot compare the experience or food to anything else . It was wonderful and I felt like a V.I.P I look at the Instagram page and see all of the creations and love to see the passion and the thought that goes into what they offer. We were fortunate enough to be here at the beginning of the year and the experience is consistent. Thankyou Team for making my Birthday memorable.

Brilliant service, food excellent. Recommended to all families and couples. Excellent ingredients and fresh experience

Stopped by for lunch with a friend, my first time visiting. Very clean and welcoming, with friendly staff. Coffee was excellent. We both ordered club sandwiches which were truly delicious. A great find.

We’ve visited the Bar and Grill many times and as a result have high expectations! I’ll begin with the negative. Tuesday evening, 6.30pm booking. No steaks available. I appreciate that you rely on suppliers but this was a disappointment. No matter, we ordered the pie of the day and a burger with gnocchi staters. The food was outstanding, as we have come to expect. Great presentation, well cooked and very good service. This restaurant has become our “go to” choice in Brackley and despite the absence of the steaks it lived up to expectations. Thank you and we look forward to the next visit!

I’ve just had the most delicious poulet au vinaigre from the specials menu in the Rose and Crown Hartwell. Paired with a lovely glass of wine and a relaxing atmosphere, it’s exactly what I needed after a busy day at work. If you haven’t popped to the pub since Matt and Michelle have taken over I thoroughly recommend it.

We visited late afternoon yesterday and were the only people there. The interior is lovely and really spacious. We were quickly served. My daughter had pizza and I had the penne salmon and garlic bread to share. Both were lovely. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Lovely place.

best jacket potato I've ever had. fresh and lovely prawn filling. went down a treat quick friendly service

very good food and quick service. lots of options to choose from. quite friendly staff. nearly always space and a great atmosphere.

Amazing breakfast - generous portions, and high quality ingredients, with great tea and coffee too. The owners were so friendly too, and lovely indoor heated setting if required. We went based on the recommendation of others....and they weren't wrong!

Great place to eat, wonderful atmosphere and tremendous food. I had the eggs benedict and it was perfect, tasty, well prepared, and didn't have to wait long for it either. The staff were polite and attentive, no blaring music to listen to or talk over was a godsend. The cappuccino is the best in Brackley, and I cant recommend The Old Fire Station enough!

This has to be the best pizza not only in towcester but outside of Italy. If you have tried already, it's a must. I had a margarita with nduja and it was beyond spectacular.

A Cafe is how they describe it - but that downplays what they offer. We have visited several times having been introduced by a "local". The cafe offers soup, dish of the day and, with other options, a choice of quiches. Everything is homemade which means the dishes are absolutely delicious. If you arrive on an afternoon visit - not lunch (but why not have lunch?!!) - then there are a wide choice of homemade cakes to have with your coffee/tea/soft drink. They do not have a drinks licence at present but if you are bringing auntie who likes a glass of white wine, make a booking with them and let them know you'd like to bring a chilled bottle with you. It is unpretentious and a cafe ( no need to dress up) but worth it for the food ! If you are horsey person then there is a dedicated shop just for you but even if you aren't there's a gift shop as well with a wide range of items like small items, men's and women's clothing and even some furniture. Eat well, browse the shop(s) and enjoy the drive through the countryside as I do not think you you would be disappointed.

The Wood Oven provided the evening catering for our wedding. Catered well for our gluten free guests and the buffet style of our chosen pizzas went down a treat with our guests! They tasted amazing and they were exactly what we all needed. Cannot beat freshly made pizzas!
