The best restaurants serving British food in Kettering East Midlands

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.

Lovely meal plus lovely staff. The room was well presented and clean, a must go place to eat. I know when the club goes back to normal you will be still be able to enjoy a good meal here.

Cash only and receipts hand written poorly good brekky though and tea well brewed 😁

A little cramped, more seating downstairs would be great. I went with my mum who has dementia, it was a little noisy and cramped for her. Coffee and cakes were delicious. Ordered using the QR but the site did not take my Taste Card discount code.

This is a really, really, good estate pub. It has everything including - and most importantly - a really good buzz! Not for everyone but give it a go!

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.

Lovely little shop you have to try it yourself. the food is very good

Was our first visit here in many years and will certainly be back. I had the vegetarian option of Sunday lunch ,a curried veg pie which came with a good selection of veg,cauliflower cheese,roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire Pudd. It was the best pub Sunday lunch I have ever had. Very generous portion. My friend had the lamb roast and was as equally happy with his. Don't know how we found room for pudding but a Biscoff cheesecake and bread and butter pudding were soon devoured. The service was perfect ,staff friendly , definitely a great choice for Sunday dinner.

Tegan libby chris & phoebe- great service, quick service, really polite, the foods really good, definitely would recommend

First visit for a little while, but as good as ever. It is quite a small tea room so booking is essential. My friend and I had ploughman's, which was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. Only negative is that the loo could do with some tlc, but it was clean.

Excellent family friendly country pub. They had a Jazz band on the evening we went, the beer garden was bustling and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. The staff were were superb. We were served by Mike and Bridget through the evening. Who, despite it being a busy night, would still greet each customer in a friendly and welcome manner and find the time to bring our drinks and food to us offering a table service. We decided we were hungry and went to order food only we were abit too late and the kitchen had closed. Even still, the chef came out to our table to offered to cook us up some hot dogs and beautifully seasoned chips. We plan to go again in the near future

Popped in for a late lunch. You order at the bar and pay as you go. There is a water station where you help yourself to water. Bang bang chicken which comes with noodles. Nice but the breaded chicken was a bit overcooked and the dish a bit dry. Buda bowl was delicious. Lots of seating but also a few reserved tables and the upstairs was reserved for a group booking so perhaps worth booking to avoid disappointment. Will go again when next in the area.

Went today, sat, 5th October 2024 it's closed, and has Been for a while

Good range of lunch options, very tasty food, friendly staff and lush desserts/cakes... which you can take away if you're too full for them at the time! 😁 Not cheap, but I'd prefer to pay a little more for lovely food than pay less but be disappointed.

The restaurant and bar remind me of weather spoons but clean! Everything was ready for our table as soon as we arrived the staff were lovely and got us everything we needed! It was a big burger and a strawberry moose I had DELICIOUS! Drinks are an ok price too! I highly recommend the briars for the service alone everyone is lovely and extremely helpful :)
