Another Northamptonshire Pub that made a stranger who only moved the to area at the start of the lockdown very welcome. Gorgeous cosy interior that has not been corporatized or over developed. Friendly locals easy to engage with. Oh and the ale is stunning The village is stunning and sits on the equally stunning Knightley Way among the lightly used back roads around this largely undiscovered section of the county. Restrictions for the crisis are sensibly managed and not at all onerous. Food has not yet restarted but I am sure it wont be long and there is no reason to believe it wont match the excellence of the rest.

Had a great experience, really friendly staff and excellent service. Food was delicious, and plenty of vegan / vegetarian options. I had the mushroom and ale pie. Ideal location for lunch or dinner after a walk at Stowe Gardens. Definitely would go back. We have pretty high standards but we were impressed, deserves a higher rating on TA than it currently has :)

It was very busy which, we expected for a Sunday, especially near Christmas. We ordered the from the Festive Menu which looked quite good. The starter of scallops was very tasty and beautifully cooked. After the delicious starters expectations were high for the main course, however, the meat and accompaniments were luke warm which wasn’t helped by the delay in getting the vegetables. The choice of dessert was good. Considering the cost of £41.95 per person I was a little disappointed. Service was excellent though.

I love the BP but the queuing system is a disaster. They only have one front of house who rushes around albeit with a welcoming smile, clearing/cleaning tables whilst simultaneously trying to seat guests. Impossible task for one person resulting in longer queues even when tables are otherwise empty. With no seating for guests with disabilities while they wait, the extensive timeframes mean it is not disability friendly. I’m sure people would rather find their own table rather than queue out of the door! Come on management - you are better than this and so is the BP!

I came here on Friday night with my partner for the first time and we weren’t disappointed. The Fox is a lovely old pub with a great atmosphere and attentive staff. I ordered the crab and lobster fish cakes and my partner had the venison burger. Both really delicious and very filling. We were sad we didn’t have room for dessert! Thanks so much. We’ll definitely be back.

The garden centre this cafe and bistro is attached to has great prices and is always my go-to place for buying bedding plants and other gardening needs. But I've only visited the cafe once and that's down to the bad experience I had when my mother and I visited for lunch. After mooching around the garden centre, we popped in for lunch. New to the area, I was trying out lots of new places to learn what's the best. The ladies at the till taking the orders and making the drinks are all lovely and attentive. The food is also a huge plus - much better quality and prices than the Bell Plantation up the A5 in Towcester. Their cakes are to die for! But the service of the waitstaff is almost comical. In stark contrast to the women at the till, the teenage boys who are waitstaff here (or were when we visited) are appalling. I almost feel sorry for them because it seems like they've had no training. They have no clue where any of the tables are. You see them wandering around aimlessly with plates, calling out like baby birds for their mummas. You have to watch them at all times and listen carefully, calling out when you think you hear your table being called. Growing up, cafes were all like this. They'd yell out a number on your ticket and you'd yell back. But this isn't that type of place so it was an odd experience. My mum refuses to go back as it took half an hour to get our food in the end, and while it was excellent, the service wasn't worth it. I might give it another try - I just hope they've either trained their waitstaff or hired new ones.
