The best restaurants in South Northamptonshire East Midlands

Cosy friendly pub, allows dogs too

Had partially given up on this branch as it is dirty and unwelcoming and staff poorly motivated. Since Costa opened a new branch in the top of town, this one has appeared to have been deliberately run down. Today's experience was a new one. Went in at 3.20 pm and the sullen member of staff told me it was takeaways only. When asked why, he said they were closing in 20 minutes. The sign on the door said closing at 4pm, which is very early for a town centre location in any case. Left and went to the warm and friendly coffee and cake shop opposite.

After hearing bad reviews from locals regarding the standard of food served,I decided to try for myself. After perusing the menu,I had made my choices and was looking forward to my meal, after waiting for someone to actually come to the counter to take my order,I was promptly told the wait time for a collection in SHOP was nearly 90 minutes. So my review is based on customer service which is pretty poor,if you have an hour and thirty minutes of your life to waste in a takeaway sitting waiting,then this is the takeaway for you !! Needless to say I won't be revisiting here and certainly will not recommend

Went through the drive-through and after waiting a few minutes at the window, I was handed my order and told it was complete. When I checked the bag, several items were missing. After asking, I had to wait again for the rest of my food. Disappointing service — glad I checked before driving off.

Took so long waiting for food while having to stand up that I ended up walking away and just bought a coffee from Costa

I ordered from Hong Kong Chef Chinese Takeaway in Roade, hoping for a satisfying meal, but it was an utterly disappointing experience. The food was borderline inedible, with no redeeming qualities. The dishes completely lacked flavor, as if the seasonings were forgotten entirely. The rice was stale, clumpy, and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. Worst of all, the curry had an off-putting, unpleasant taste that made it impossible to eat more than a bite. Like another reviewer mentioned, I ended up throwing most of it in the bin after a single mouthful. This was, without a doubt, the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had, and I won’t be returning. Save your money and avoid this place.

Perhaps my expectations were raised by the very positive online reviews, but I was really disappointed in almost everything. The presentation and packaging was hugely impressive; the contents less so. Apart from the meal being, at best, lukewarm, which was odd, because it was delivered within 30 minutes of my order. The bolognese pot was tasteless and the £2.50 I had invested in chicken was a mistake. The half a dozen strips of processed poulet were totally lacking in both texture and taste. The Mozzarella garlic bread was an absolute disaster. Apart from the fact you had to get your microscope out to see the Mozzarella, the bread appeared to have been kept warm for hours; it was dried out and tasted of cardboard. Not that I am an expert in that! Having been hugely impressed by the speed of delivery and the very impressive packaging, what lay within was very poor indeed.

restaurant was absolutely filthy. Toilets were quite literally the dirtiest I have ever seen in my life. Restaurant was absolutely packed, food was cold, not that I really had much of an appetite seeing how dirty the place was. The worst mcdonalds I have ever ever been to.

They don't allow Dogs. Shame really. Only want a coffee. Food is okay. All ultra processed and full of sugar. Always check the ingredients.

There is a reason that this cafe isn’t rated very high on trip adviser, and it is because of the staff. Miserable doesn’t even cut it. No customer service and more importantly no smiling. We actually felt we were an inconvenience going into the cafe. I felt I should apologise for ordering. Should have gone to Maccy D’s. Also filthy sauce bottles, not been cleaned for several days

Visited today, just days after it reopened as part of the British Garden Centres chain. The place was festooned with artificial fronds of greenery. Artificial….. in a garden centre! The place of highest concentration was the cafeteria; good coffee, good menu and good service. Well done BGC but PLEASE get rid of the plastic greenery and ‘ take a leaf’ from Blue Diamond at Harlestone.

Visiting the area from Lincolnshire. Had this been my first Domino’s, then it would certainly be my last! The staff were unfriendly, unhelpful and unwelcoming. The food was dire. Not sure how you can go wrong with four pizzas, but they managed. Toppings non existent. The base was undercooked and had an odd, bitter aftertaste. £50 wasted! Another cost cutting retailer who is increasing costs and decreasing quality and quality to the detriment of the customer. Won’t be going back.

One of the best McDonald’s I’ve had in a long time. The food was hot, and the fries were crunchy, just like the old McDonald’s way. Most places I’ve been to lately had soggy fries. The crispy chicken wrap was on point, and the burger was pretty good—not amazing, but still good. I will definitely stop by again.

We popped in here a few weeks ago while staying at the glamping pods, as we had read reviews saying it was good. We were totally disappointed, the pakora was over cooked, you couldnt even bite into it, the chips were very small portions and the pizza just didnt taste like it have been cooked long enough, as the base was very soft. We wouldnt go back!
