The best restaurants serving British food in Wellingborough East Midlands

Really nice cafe with good choices to pick from. Enjoyed the outside area. Very nice drinks and at a great price. Real nice friendly and welcoming servers

Lovely morning out. We had a delicious breakfast served by lovely friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great choice of gluten free options

It was the 1st time we have visited and it was our granddaughter's birthday. Exceptional value for money, excellent speedy service. Couldn't fault it, will definitely be coming back here. Huge place and lovely grounds, looks like it would be lovely to sit out in the summer.

It's great to see Ye Golden Lion open again. The team do a great job to make everyone feel welcome. The beer is good quality and fairly priced as well.

Foods nice and fresh and the person behind the counter was lovely 10/10 definitely coming again if I’m in the area

Bar staff brilliant apart from one. Young woman who apparently thinks she is a manager is extremely rude and talks to customers like they are dirt.

Beautiful large garden overlooking the fields. However the pub had dirty tables, dirty toilets. Everyone who entered the pub all seemed to have access to go behind the bar. The music was so loud you couldn’t hear yourself speak and bar-staff were not very sociable when ordering a drink!

Probably the worst spoons I've ever been in

Challenge the chef Afternoon Tea The Hind Hotel accommodated our surprise Hen Party for 20 people. There was good correspondence with Carley the Events Manager leading up to the event. The chef did an amazing job with the challenge, all staff couldn’t have done enough to make the occasion special 🥰 Would definitely recommend 🤩

Lovely food, exceptional service , excellent

Absolutely rubbish.!!! Wouldn’t order again. Ordered lunch for delivery at 12:19pm. Didn’t come till 2:00pm. By that time I left to go back to work and told them to take the food back as no one was home. According to app said 35mins to come. Tried calling the phone numbers but all out of service. Noticed since owner change this place is gone down hill. Never had issue before with previous owners.

Decent pub food and great value. Very friendly staff and locals. The beer is good too!

After seeing this establishment featured on Four in a Bed, I had high expectations. The show portrayed it as a charming, standout venue, but my visit on 19/04/2025 told a very different story. In hindsight, I should’ve paid more attention to the recent reviews — they were far more accurate than the TV portrayal. As a respected food critic, I visited with genuine excitement to experience what was advertised. While the younger front-of-house staff were lovely and did their best to accommodate guests, the positives, unfortunately, ended there. The dining experience quickly turned into a disaster. Orders were mixed up around the restaurant, and the food that did arrive was extremely underwhelming — both in quality and quantity. The prices were shockingly high considering the portion sizes and lack of flavour. Waiting over an hour for my food would have been acceptable if the meal had been worth the wait, but what I received seemed far from freshly prepared. Cold dishes, lacklustre presentation, and minimal effort defined the meal. The only remotely enjoyable part was the sauce — and even that tasted shop-bought. As for dessert — a supposed apple crumble — it was almost laughable. A dry, uninspired mess that even my 9-year-old daughter could outdo with ease. The atmosphere in the restaurant was flat. Other diners seemed equally unimpressed, and staff were visibly overwhelmed. I witnessed guests being ignored by multiple staff members as they tried to get assistance — I even ended up helping another table myself. Constant apologies were being handed out, clearly a common theme that evening. The biggest disappointment, however, came from the so-called “Heads of Front of House.” When a group of guests tried to raise their concerns, they were met with hostility and blatant denial. Voices were raised to the point that the entire restaurant could hear the confrontation, and it became clear that the General Manager had no intention of stepping in — reportedly refusing to leave the kitchen. It was unprofessional and, frankly, embarrassing. Guests were left feeling uncomfortable, even intimidated, as the situation unfolded. There’s a serious disconnect between the image this restaurant portrays and the reality diners face. The younger staff show potential and care, but it’s clear they’re being let down by poor management, inconsistent kitchen standards, and an overall lack of leadership. Until significant changes are made, I couldn’t in good faith recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a hearty, well-executed pub meal.

Danielle and Albert were lovely and worked arse off to make our visit satisfactory
