The best restaurants in South Northamptonshire East Midlands

On the way back north to Codnor we opted to stop at Northampton Services. A decent little service station (and it really isn't that big) that has everything you need for a satisfactory break from motorway tedium. Decent toilet facilities without that weird "inclusive" rubbish at South Mimms as well as all the usual accompaniments you'd expect from a motorway service station, as well as a few you might not. These include a brand called 'Leon' which prides itself on "naturally fast food" and the somewhat more self-explanatorily named 'Fresh Food Cafe.' All in all, it is a seemingly more healthy motorway service station than some of the others you may come across on your travels. As I say, it has its share of unhealthy tat as well, such as McDonalds, and there are also your standard shops (WHSmith) and your traditional overpriced "we've got you over a barrel" petrol station. It also has a postbox on site, which I absolutely love.

We were looking forward to coffee here. But despite the cafe being advertised as open on Mondays, it was very shuttered up and very closed. Shame that the website didn’t mention that, as we were disappointed. Perfectly understandable in the current economic climate, but we would have preferred to know in advance.

I am really impressed. We have struggled to find a good Chinese takeaway around the area since we moved here. We tried these guys and they were excellent. Remember, you need cash for delivery. Thoroughly recommend, very tasty and the best Chinese in over a year. We will be back!

Nice sunny day made it a really good experience so we could sit outside very clean and tidy and the nicest cappuccino I have ever had

Absolutely delicious chicken Kebabs. Full of succulent meat and salad. Tasty dressing. Would definately recommend this establishment. Friendly helpful and will definately be going here again.

Solíamos frecuentar LA RED LION a menudo, pero desde el cambio de propietario no es el mismo. La calidad de la cena ha bajado y la cálida bienvenida que acostumbrado a recibir de la anterior dueña ha dejado con ella. Es una pena, ya que este puede ser un fantástico pub/restaurante ya consolidado bajo el antiguo régimen.

Great location with stunning views and friendly staff, BUT Limited menu (should have checked before going) and a ridiculous wait for food when there were only 3 tables occupied. It took an hour for starters and another hour for the mains to arrive. Drinks service very slow too. The consensus was that the food was average and not a patch on the Ganges or Dilraj

Great food and cosy pub. Would definitely recommend for a night away or food after a country walk. We loved the fact the food was home cooked. Great pasta!

Great fresh food and fast delivery only takes 30 mins to get to greens Norton

On the A45 Local pub Real ale Pool table and an outside table tennis table Lots of TV’s Large outdoor seating area Car park

I went to fill up a white fuel approved can which I have bought from BP years ago and I am using ever since. The staff member called Ruth has refused to allow me to fill out the can on the basis that she does not believe it's an approved can. I've asked her what makes a can approved in her eyes and the only answer I have ever gotten was I'm sorry darling that is not approved

If you want authentic Chinese food don't buy from them. Don't waste you money. If you like good quality of food don't buy from them . But if you don't care about quality and quantity then buy from them.

i was seated by cheryl and tony who welcomed me warmly. cheryl served us quickly and politely. she started with drinks - which were quickly made my fin the bartender. mine and my partner were happily satisfied with how well presented the food was and how quickly it came out. kian ran our food and was happy and polite ensuring he asked us if we needed new drinks or sauces. very happy with the overall experience big thankyou to cheryl who made our experience amazing.

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.
