The best restaurants serving British food in Northampton East Midlands

We had a very uncomfortable experience at Mandarim Restaurant in Northampton. During our visit, we felt like we were being watched the entire time, with 4 to 5 waiters constantly around our table, as if we were doing something wrong. This created a tense and unwelcoming atmosphere that made us feel extremely uneasy. We expected courteous and discreet service, but instead left feeling like we were not welcome. We hope the management reconsiders this approach so that other customers don’t have to go through the same experience.

Food was brilliant definitely one of the affordable ones, staff was friendly always smiling tables clean ect

Great venue - very cosy & intimate. Jazz night was excellent. Food was delicious. Alice & Kyle provided excellent service.

The music was blasting louder than a night club and the only other customer had his social media feed blasting even louder. I was scolded by the workers and told I "entered another customer's space" for politely requesting he turn his phone down to a reasonable volume or use earbuds. The employee was so rude even after giving him the chance. to explain, and he just keep scolding me for "entering" someone else's space. Isn't blasting your social media feed entering my space? I lost my appetite and cannot in good conscience ever go back there!

Great little pub with good vibes, great good and a really friendly team. I grew bored of my normal local, and decided to try somewhere else, found this place by chance and was happy I did. The staff are welcoming and it has an inclusive feel to it, so all are welcome. The Sunday Roast is incredible and really good value. Definitely worth a try. Will update again when I try the burger later this month!

Great place, great food , amazing staff service

I recently visited The Trumpet pub in Northampton and had an amazing experience, thanks to Faith's excellent service. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel right at home with her friendly and welcoming attitude. Faith was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her knowledge of the menu and drink selections was impressive, and her recommendations were spot on. Faith's professionalism and warm demeanor truly made our visit special. I highly recommend stopping by The Trumpet and experiencing Faith's top-notch service for yourself!

A great, tidy venue that is welcoming and bigger than you think. Well decorated inside and the garden is great for all ages - young children have room to play and adults can sit and chat. Food and drink are fair priced and well prepared. Staff are welcoming and friendly.

We often visit the Wig for a drink, but we went out as a family and had the Sunday roast, They accommodated food for every and there was plenty of it. Chef provided plenty of gravy and the food was very tasty, defiantly worth a visit.

We sat squashed up on a couple of tables, the food took ages to come out, we found to food to be not as advertised, staff friendly though! Of note and odd to us was that they only take cash, no other forms of payment at all, and at 10pm we were told to leave our table or sit with the smokers as where we were sitting becomes a smoking area after 10pm! Not the Shisha that they do in the back room, but actual cigarettes! I didnt believe what they said so asked for an ashtray... and got one. Needless to say we left, not to return I am afraid.

Came in here on a Saturday night and it should've been packed but it was absolutely dead. The bar surface/floor was horrible and sticky, it's so dark and loud in there we couldn't see/hear each other. There was about 4 tables in the whole room and it's just as well that the place was empty. We tried to go to the smoking area outside but it was locked and the bouncer made us go back downstairs to sit in the really loud music room. No thanks.

We ate breakfast here. Cooked to order eggs were available and I got a large omelette which was filling. Nicely done hash browns, croissants were lovely. I liked the quality of the food and the friendly service.

The pool and snooker tables are great!

Great pub for watching Rugby 🏉 and having a beer before and after rugby at the Saints. Outdoor seating and garden.

If you know about pie mash and liquor this is worth a try! Proper from London 5*
