The best restaurants serving British food in Northampton East Midlands

Never go anywhere else to eat when visiting town, in fact we make a special trip just for our lunch. All the food is homemade and the specials are top notch. If the Corned beef pie is on the specials then that is a must!! The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and that goes for the customers and the staff and the owner/chef is a great guy!

This small out-of-the-way cafe is run by the 6th form students from Billing Brook School, Northampton. The menu offered is light meals, e.g. jacket potatoes, sandwiches, baguettes etc. with a good variety of fillings including vegetarian options. The coffee is delicious and the home-made cakes looked good, but I resisted. The atmosphere is inviting, with a lovely outdoor area, and the whole place is spotlessly clean, The staff and their tutors are really nice, and very attentive. Would definitely recommend if you are local or visiting Northampton and would like a quiet out of the town centre (Eastern District) bite to eat. I look forward to my next visit. Open Mon-Thurs 9.30-14.30.

An excellent place to visit for tea and cake or afternoon teas. A friendly service with a smile. I can highly recommend a visit.

Thank you! food is delicious as always :)

Beautiful surrounds excellent service , friendly professional and fresh made food . Warm welcome every time love the whole menu selection and the Young Students who serve and help to make it a brilliant place to be .

Very busy despite only opening 5 mins before I arrived. I had the "small" breakfast which wasn't..... 1 bacon, 1 sausage, mushrooms, beans and plumb tomato. slice of toast and butter, mug of tea with milk. All for £8. Lady was welcoming guests on her own and providing drinks and breakfasts. I waited no longer than a couple of mins for tea and toast and then 5 mins for the breakfast. Would recommend highly. Everything cooked exactly to my liking. Piping hot. Will definitely be returning.

Had a full afternoon tea here and it was absolutely fantastic! So many delicious homemade savouries, quiche, sausage roll, vol au vents as well as delicious sandwiches with the freshest bread. Gorgeous scones and lots of scrummy cakes as well. Lovely friendly staff too. This is a real treat - Highly recommended.

Lovely cafe with the best food and sweetest staff, my favourite place to come with my kids on the wellingborough road. I have been here 4 times since moving to this part of northampton, each time with my young children and we were always well looked after.

Attended on a Saturday night, was lovely and busy which was good to see, glad we had booked. Service is always spot on, they work so hard! Slight delay on the drinks, however there were no free tables so to be expected. Food was delicious, had the curry, burger was made gluten free, steak looked good and the lamb shank was delicious. Would love to see a mixed grill special soon please! See you soon

Under new management - Excellent food, value for money, spotlessly clean, friendly staff. Will definitely return - highly recommended.

Fantastic meal, the best dinner my wife and I have had in northampton, ever. Great setting, waitress was excellent, the quality of the food was just fabulous and great value for...

Libby was so lovely all night, checked we were ok for drinks constantly, thank you so much for the service! A credit to the white elephant! Thanks libby x

Visited for lunch after seeing good reviews online. Looks cute but left rather disappointed. No proper food available, just a few pastrys, ordered two & was given an incorrect order. Hot chocolate just tasted like warm milk. :(

Ahh the Wheatsheaf the jewel in the village of Dallingtons crown, where better to spend a sun kissed evening with a few libations, a moment to be cherished indeed, gazing into a loved one’s eyes whilst enjoying a cask conditioned ale, dog friendly and may I say our four legged friends seemed enchanted with the traditional surroundings, pink and red lipsticks all over the gaff, the food when available will leave your tastebuds vociferous in an audible joy, this pub can truly be described as the golden bauble on a well decorated Christmas tree, there are not enough superlatives in the English vocabulary to truly describe the pleasure I receive from showing my patronage to this fine establishment, the excitement I feel as I enter the premises can be likened to an astronaut leaving the earth’s atmosphere after taking off from a launchpad in Cape Canaveral, a true delight indeed, precious moments spent in the company of squires, to the Wheatsheaf I salute you with a tear in my eye and a smile on my face!!!!

We actually live local and this was a random stop. And so glad we did. A really warm, friendly welcome. We had a big breakfast and and breakfast roll. And they were spot on. Hot and tasty with no scrimping. I would encourage anyone local to give it a try. Really worth a visit
