The best restaurants in Old Stratford South Northamptonshire East Midlands

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.

Surprisingly tasty food. Great service

One of my local pubs. Great beer and rooms. Stayed there many times.

We had a very nice meal this evening. Excellent quality

Good food and service. Women’s discussion group. We had coffee. A gap where we had our meeting then lunch which was delicious. Booked again for next month

Have been several times always warm welcome and great food. Went today, Sunday for lunch, lovely as always but disappointed that the roast on offer was only chicken or the gammon. The gammon was an option but was on the menu with egg and chips. Having had several ham salads this week in the warm weather, I was looking forward to beef, lamb or pork as my roast. Chicken is the cheap option and therefore made it not quite as special. We eat lots of chicken through the week. For two it’s sometimes not worth cooking a roast. For £16 for the main course I would have expected a better choice, certainly based on my previous visits. The chicken was tasty and good quantity, however just not the same as a nice roasted joint. If returning, would certainly ask ahead what was on the menu if going again for Sunday lunch.
