The best restaurants serving British food in Kettering East Midlands

Great Pub in the Heart of Thrapston.

Been before, had a takeaway. Was quite nice. Decided to take my partner and 6 month old baby for lunch. Got there at 1pm on a Saturday, the place is open serving people. For us to be turned around and told us the kitchen is closed but coffee is still being served. Turned down another customer behind us with the same answer. I would have thought a little coffee shop would have open arm invited us for food too if we wanted. 2x customers with a possibility of spending what £20 each? So because they couldn’t be arsed to cook some food they lost £40 of business! Yet they sit there with outdated decor and quite a dull appearance. Get some effort put in jeez!

Atmosphere 10/10 staff 20/10 location local and convenient execellent beer and facilities great memories great times.

This is a lovely pub. Great food nice staff

First time i came to get a tank i wasnt impressed by a lady that served us, didnt know her facts however went to get my beta yest and oh my! The guy was so good, helped me a lot and gave me info about how to start my life with our little fighter and was very efficient!

Cant fault the place food 100% staff

Just a short note to say Kristie went out of her way to make us feel welcome , the service she provided to us was excellent, thank you : )

We had a family Sunday Lunch at The Vines We all really enjoyed it The roast beef was very good and plenty of it we only had 2 roast potatoes each so we asked for some more which we paid extra for but they were worth it Three of us had the Cherry Bakewell Eclair with Almond ice cream which was really lovely and nice to have something different for dessert The staff were very helpful and friendly

Afternoon tea disappointment. Terrible service throughout our afternoon. It was meant to be special occasion for us , unfortunately it was ruined by waiting staff who couldn't care less. Every time we wanted to order something my husband had to get up go to the bar and ask. We waited for 30 min sitting at our table and nobody came in to take our order . Shocking behavior for such a lovely place. Food was good but really do not recommend this place .We expected something really nice ( even McDonald's will bring you food to the table ) .

We had a catch up with friends for drinks while on holiday from Scotland. Unfortunately one of our party took unwell, and Richard the landlord and a colleague provided exceptional customer service by taking him back to where he was staying. We can’t thank them enough for taking the time out on a Friday night to do such a grand gesture. We are back in April, and will definitely take another trip to this wonderful place.

Hadn't booked for a Saturday lunch but the manager still found us a table almost instantly. Happy to accommodate the dog, the servers were all smiley and friendly, their service was fantastic, the food was excellent (cheese soufflé 👌) and a lovely walk afterwards. Go, you won't regret it

Their bar lounge is very comfortable. We took our dog into the bar/lounge for Valentine's day lunch. My husband really enjoyed his fish and chips. Lovely atmosphere/ambience. We' definitely go again.

came here to celebrate a 50th birthday, we had a really nice time!

I got a pasty and it was stone cold like come on greggs I like you and all but this just ain’t it fr

Last Saturday lunchtime my wife and I called in at the Thornhill Arms. I hadn't been in for years but had heard it was now being run as a proper pub rather than the restaurant it used to be. What a mistake we made. We were the only customers but we still ended up waiting about ten minutes and nobody attempted to serve us, despite a member of staff behind the bar being able to see us waiting. Eventually I moved through into the other bar to seek service where I was greeted by a female staff member who's tone of voice towards me made me feel more like an unwanted intruder than a customer. When I explained that I wanted to buy some drinks her only response was a rather aggressive statement informing me that no food was being served. Eventually we managed to obtain two drinks. A pint of lager for my wife when we had asked for a half, and a pint of craft ale for me which, despite the barmaid's assurance that it was okay, turned out to be disgusting and undrinkable. When I returned my pint I was then charged full price for a pint of cider, no allowance being made for the undrinkable pint. Safe to say we shall not be rushing back.
