The best restaurants serving British food in East Northamptonshire East Midlands

Most probably the best food I’ve ever had. If you are looking for a cosy pub with great food next to an open fire then you have found it. Make sure you book though as it gets very busy. Ask for Jamie and say jack sent you.

Both had Steak and Ale pie, meat melted in your mouth, service excellent, definitely worth another visit. The portions very generous.

Awful place. The service is atrocious and slow and the staff extremely rude. The person that served me (tall large guy) did not listen to me at all, tried to tell me that I ordered an item that isn't even on the menu. He overcharged us and argued and ignored me when I tried to explain what happened. Only later when he realised he must be wrong because what he claimed I ordered was not on the menu did he scurry over and try to offer a refund for overcharging and free drinks, but by then it was too late because the experience was completely spoiled. In addition the food and drinks are not served at the same time and the coffee was not hot and the cake was stale. Do not go here if you want good service and a pleasant experience.

We were staying down the road at the Queens head, walked down the village and popped in here for a drink, what a great friendly little pub, Brian the landlord and his mum Linda, made us very welcome, we felt like part of the local community, we enjoyed so much we went back several times during our 2 night stay, and much preferred it to the Queens head. Thank you Brian and Linda for you hospitality. Julie G Shepperton.

Seeing as my review was removed I will try again! Stay away. I went to the so called “quiz night” and it was awful. You would have found a better atmosphere in a morgue. Hardly any there, no music, vile smell and it was dirty. I use to frequent the pub before lockdown and it was fantastic. It has apparently changed hands since and not for the better. I will definitely not be going back. The smell and filth were enough to put me off my beer let alone dreary feel to the place. Very sad to say that I will not be recommending a once lovely pub

Don’t waste your time. Rude server Philippa and awful food, unless you like school dinners!

No words can describe how fantastic this pub is, this has become our regular and we have no faults! food is fantastic, we have started doing the bottomless gin afternoon tea ,again fantastic, great supply of Gin well looked after, cakes to die for! Highly recommend! Staff are fantastic and very welcoming! Location of the pub is great, sit in the comfort of the country pub or down by the river overlooking fields. Highly recommend this pub :)

I stayed at The Royal Oak for one night whilst on a business trip. I also was fortunate enough to enjoy dinner and breakfast there. The staff were super helpful and friendly and both meals delicious. I have a couple of special dietary requirements and everyone was extremely accommodating. My room and bathroom were very clean and beautifully appointed. I would like to mention Emma on Reception who was particularly helpful during my stay I highly recommend The Royal Oak.

We have been visiting the Green Dragon for many years now and we have always received great service and good food. They have recently updated their menu and the food is great quality as well as good value for money. Would highly recommend and is great for the family

So disappointed . I ordered 2 slices of toast for my grandson. One slice only came out which was bad enough but it must have been stale bread because I nearly broke a tooth trying a bit . I banged it on the plate and thought I was going to crack it . I took it back and the second piece was brought out softer , different bread but looks of it but it had zero colour just warm bread . Again I told the same member of staff and all he said was yeah blame the toaster !! Shocking . Below is a photo of my replacement toast

This is a great cafe. They are a real local hub and are dog friendly. We ordered breakfast boxes for New Year’s Day and they were great value for money.

I eat here regularly with my daughter, when she has a day off work. The food is always lovely. Main meals offer vegan/ vegetarian/gluten free options, There is good choice of cakes and drinks. The home made soups are always really nice and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The menu isn't massive, but I wouldn't expect it to be in this setting and prices comparable to other cafes in the local / surrounding area .

Esta tarde, tuve una increíble comida preparada por el talentoso Chef Lee, con sabores tan notables que se quedarán conmigo para siempre. La amabilidad y el cuidado genuino del personal me hicieron sentir completamente como en casa, mientras que la calidez y dedicación del propietario creó un ambiente acogedor y edificante. No era solo cenar, era pura alegría.
