The best restaurants in Cosgrove and Grafton South Northamptonshire East Midlands

My nephew asked for a 'pub meal' for his 16th birthday. My partner and I always take him and his sister out on their birthdays and try to make it as special as possible. I searched high and low for a decent pub and came across this hidden little gem. And I was not disappointed. I grew up in a time of smoking in pubs before they all became 'gastro' pubs with fancy food, high prices and rude staff. The White Hart is a throwback to those nostalgic times of my youth that I treasure and the moment I walked into the pub I was sent flying into my childhood to a local eatery my family visited every weekend. Yes, it does have a lingering smell of cigarette smoke, but personally, this heightened the experience for me. I felt at home! The staff was wonderful, the atmosphere was cosy and the menu, while a bit limited for vegetarians, had everything we wanted. To solve the issue with vegetarian options, the chef offered to cook my partner a special vegan cheese vegetarian burger he was experimenting with for a large party a week later. We were very impressed by this service and boy did my boyfriend enjoy his burger. I'm salivating as I remember my burger, full of chicken strips, onion rings and cheese. The lovely barmaid was very chatty and attentive. It was a quiet Thursday night, which is perfect for us because we like calmer establishments, but the barmaid told us it gets very busy at the weekend. I'm pleased for them. It's tucked out the way on the Northampton Road and these types of pubs are a dying breed. It has a car park and the owner has a very friendly dog who my niece adored. And finally, for the amount of food and its incredible quality, the prices are very low. A meal for four with starters, mains and alcohol (for us adults) was less than £100. Very impressed! I haven't had the chance to go back but as soon as we get the opportunity, we'll be eating at the White Hart again!

We booked a table in this pub for a family birthday dinner in September 2024. The food and service was poor compared to a previous family event held there.

Would highly recommend with an excellent range of food and beers, with excellent service. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

The menu offered a fantastic range of options, from classic favorites to innovative dishes with a modern twist. They even had a variety of vegan-friendly choices."

Walked from the Grand union canal (18mins). Dog friendly with garden at the rear. Food reasonably priced. Only had Timothy Taylor on draught £5.60 pt.

Once again we went fir a meal in The Navigation Inn, and once again we received the highest possible standard of customer service and food. The location is excellent, the food is excellent and so is the staff. The staff know the meaning of true customer service, and it's a delight to visit. We had a variety of starters including my Pil Pil Garlic prawns, and all 4 of us had steaks, with each dish cooked to perfection.
