The best restaurants serving British food in Towcester Brook South Northamptonshire East Midlands

Very hostile staff as soon as we arrived as a party of 10. Shown out to a beautiful marquee outside but no heating had been on to pre warm the room & it was bitter out there (thermostat showing 8 degrees)! Staff very put out that we asked for the heaters to be put on. Waited a long time to be asked if we’d like drinks, we offered to go to the bar & order but were made to feel like we couldn’t go in the bar. Drinks eventually came but with no friendly face or explanation of the menu etc that you usually get in a restaurant. Service really slow & all food dumped in front of us in an unfriendly manner as though everything was simply too much trouble. At the end of the meal a member of staff asked if we’d like anything else, so we ordered another round of drinks(around 10pm) whilst we waited for our taxis home. A few minutes later a different member of staff came out to tell us the bar closed at 9.30! When we questioned this we were told it was due to licensing! We were a polite party of 10, a lot of us in our 40’s and 50’s, not rowdy, just wanting a nice meal & a few drinks. The food was amazing but due to the atmosphere & poor service we will not return here & will not be recommending it to our friends & family. Such a shame as we had spent £800 and would’ve given a good tip had things have been different.

Staying at Hilton at Silverstone and decided to pop in for something to eat Friday evening. Found staff to be very friendly and service good. Son and I ordered a pizza each, which were excellent.
