Service was great (especially Kayla who was happy to be named). Great selection on the menu, we both had the signature burger that was a generous size. Happy to recommend.

Another Sunday lunch time at the Britannia. Great food, great time, great vibes. A little bit of wait but was busy so understandable.

It is my Birthday today so we went to the Britannia for a meal. I booked on line and my request for a table by the open fire was honoured. Sam was looking after us and he is a real asset to your company, nothing is too much trouble, friendly, polite, a real pleasure to be served by him. The food was fantastic, I had the vegetarian burger my husband the sea bass, both delicious and I even manged a dessert which too was scrumptious. The portion sizes are great (I have a healthy appetite) and was extremely satisfied and full when I left. I've booked again for Friday to go with the girls from work..can't wait.

8 of us went out to celebrate my husband’s birthday at The Britannia. The food was as delicious as ever, in fact every plate was empty, so that’s always a good sign! The lamb shank shepherds pie is amazing!! Sam (our waiter) looked after us from arrival until departure and what a credit he is to you! He had full knowledge of the menu, laughed and joked with us, regularly checked to see if we needed more drinks, but without being pushy. What a star he is!! We will be back soon!! Thanks to the chef for the amazing food and of course to Sam!!

We had the Sunday Roast. The food had obviously all been pre-cooked and then heated up. The food looked and tasted absolutely terrible. You could use the Yorkshire puddings as rocks. A shame as the ambience and service were good and the pub/restaurant is lovely since it’s been modernised but the food really leaves little to be desired (the Sunday roast anyway!)

Such a shame. It’s such a lovely pub but the food is hit and miss. We had a lovely Sunday lunch there a few months ago. This time the calamari starter was awful. Chewy in tasteless batter and they weren’t hot so I think they had been standing for a while before being bought out. There was oil from the fryer on the plate which looked like it hadn’t been changed for weeks. And as for the garnish! Soggy old watercress. The whole thing was just yuk. The Mediterranean roast veg tart was mostly peas! And some soggy old fried potatoes….

Unfortunately the service was incredibly slow, food eventually came out but parts of three dishes were missing! The pie only had three pieces of meat and lots of gravy. One dish was overcooked and the lamb needed a steak knife. Worst meal out ever.

Had a great lunch at Britannia which is a little gem on the edge of Northampton. Service was great, the food came out hot, in good time & you could tell it was freshly prepared. Portion sizes mean you won't leave on an empty stomach but there is still space for something after and we managed to grab a table by one of the fires. Will definitely be visiting again and getting a Sunday lunch booked in!

Dreadful experience, service very slow, panfried chicken breast is a joke, thin slice of chicken, 3 cubes of potato and a bit of cabbage no onions as advertised, definitely not worth £11.99? Vegetable soup looked like the remains of Sunday lunch put into boiling water, chicken and bacon sandwich was hunt for the filling. Will definitely not be going back, not sure how they get away with serving these sort of meals for the price.

It's a lovely place inside, really cosy. The food was not great. Everything was very chewy and the calamari had very little flavour. The waiter also took away our starter plates and then offered us dessert which was a simple mistake but not expected given how nice it is inside.

Well if you like a long wait the service seems to be for regular clients the food I would say is not good and over priced when we got there the older lady was slamming doors looking for meaus and made myself and the younger lady nervous and was rude to not even wait to slam around when a Cilent is awaiting to be seated I would advise to go to somewhere that can give you a all round service once seated took awhile for someone to take order and than the food the pie was a pre heat and broccoli tasted old please turn around and go somewhere that gives you a smile and good food and service not provided here

Nice pub. The food is great and well priced. The service was a little slow. After being shown to our seats, it took about 10 minutes to place our drinks order, then another 22 minutes to place our food order. Tried the special mixed grill, which I can say was delicious Would have stayed for desert, but due to the length of time it took for the mains, I had to leave The lighting is a little poor as it was hard to read the menus

Truly shocking food. (See photos)the kids pasta was honestly vile. Roast was mainly fat and bone and the roast potatoes were white and undercooked as well as the parsnips. We didn't stay to eat and just sent it back. We used to come here often and the food was good so im unsure what has happen. Starter of goats cheese was nice and the kids garlic bread was nice too. Staff were friendly and helpful. ( They charge £18.99 for the roast)

Sam was our main waiter on a fairly late Sunday evening service... Obviously, there was a few choices by this time that the kitchen had ran out of... there was also the fact that two members of our party had nut allergies, and one had to have gluten-free (or rather non-gluten containing), least to mention the occasional picky eater. At first, the special non-gluten menu couldn't be located but Sam worked it out and managed to get a bespoke version available. There were multiple moments that Sam went the extra mile and we all couldn't be happier with his superb service and attention to detail. Thank you, Sam!

Service was incredibly slow, not to the fault of the servers, waiting 50 minutes for 3 deserts in a restaurant which appeared half full. Food was dry, I asked for a lamb and was told it would be medium rare but was so past well done I have seen softer leather. The bbq chicken dishes were okay but all in all I would not recommend many items at all from the menu… if they have them as several dishes were unavailable. Drinks were very average, nothing to complain about but nothing more than okay. Servers were kind although seemingly rushed and seen running round the restaurant trying to put out fires caused by the overall lack of quality the restaurant provided. Overall, incredibly slow service, poor food and wouldn’t not reccomend nor return.

Nice pub. As many pubs, fairly short-staffed, but adequate. Had a lovely waiter serving us (left his card for writing a review that said Sam and Alex and so not sure which of them was him, but he had pinkish hair!). Yes, the order of Seabass from the Specials menu came back as the Seabass from the general menu, which tasted fine regardless, but our waiter insisted on compensating for the error by allowing us to have an ice-cream dessert on the house - which was a very kind and appreciated offer, thank you:). Have no issue with the pub and will happily return at a later date.

Our first visit for several years. We had booked a table for six and were shown to a table for five. When pointed out, we were offered a larger table but with a time limit! The food service was slow. We mostly ordered the Sunday lunch. The portions can only be described as small when compared to other offerings locally. The roast pork was sliced so thin it had air dried. The roast beef was excellent. The toffee pudding was also excellent. it would be worth going again just for the toffee pudding.

Not a bad experience. We would come again just a few bits let them down.

I only come here cause I don't like the masked singer. I'd much rather be down here getting drunk than sitting at home with the Doris watching that drivel. If that's your measure of how good a pub is then this place is bloody brilliant. If you're a fan of the masked singer then stay away, you'd hate it.
