The best restaurants serving British food in Daventry East Midlands

Very disappointing. Overpriced, poor food. Very small portions and extremely bland. Asked for some compensation as my fish (pollock) was so small and probably one mouthful of fish to the rest greasy batter. My lunch partner also complained of the very small portions. We were told it was because they catered for older people who complained portions were too big!!! Oh dear... service charge too. Don't bother. I'm all for supporting the hospitality sector in these difficult times but really, this is taking the mickey!!

Excellent service by all staff who gave us all (party of 11), a very warm welcome. The food was pre ordered and came promptly (some quests were late but this was not a problem and the staff showed great understanding) . Food was excellent, tasty and hot. The Manager, Milo, was attentive and checked in on us regularly. Would definitely recommend this establishment to friends and family.

Fabulous place, perfect location for our family to meet. Food was delicious and the staff were great. We were a party of 16 and everything went smoothly and everyone enjoyed their food, thank you, we will be back!

I visited with family for Saturday lunch. One of our party is diabetic and the staff adjusted dishes to ensure she had a lovely time with no prior warning. Great service and food as always

Visited The Stag at Maidwell for a wonderful Christmas Meal with friends. The food was delicious and plentiful. A very warm welcome and excellent service from Rob, Rachael and the Team. Highly recommended.

We booked for 7.30pm for 4 including our two guests. We shared two starters which were both very good. Of our four main dishes, one was mediocre and for the other we asked for the dip to be on the side only. It wasn't and the dish was rejected. It returned quickly, which made me wonder how it could have been recooked. Neither of the two waiters checked if it was OK. There were no specials which I like to choose from and the massala fries only had a sprinkling of salt and pepper. We were given dessert menus but the waiter did not return for the order. We had to come to the bar for the bill. On leaving, we noticed the waiters were busy cleaning another room. It's unlikely we will return, particularly with guests. If you needed us to leave at a certain time, you could have advised us when we booked on the phone. Meal with 2 alcoholic and 2 soft drinks £107 plus service. NB This is the response we gave to an email requesting feedback. We had a reply saying it would be investigated and we will receive a response but nothing.

We had a really lovely B&B stay here. The rooms are in a separate building to the pub - so nice and quiet. Super comfy beds and cosy bed linen. The breakfast was fantastic - a perfect old school English Breakfast - with butchers sausages and black pudding, eggs cooked how you like them, hash browns, tomatoes..... Yummy. The staff made us feel very welcome and we were well looked after. They were particularly kind to our children - sorting them out with Hot Chocolates and unusual breakfast requirements. They even went to the trouble of posting home some much loved cuddly toys that had been left behind. Thank you Billy and Team.

We had the most amazing festive afternoon tea here today. It definitely deserves a special mention as the homemade sandwiches, cakes and biscuits were fabulous and the attentive staff were outstanding. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family as a great find! ☆☆☆☆☆

I thought I would try this pub one more time seeing as it's the only one in the village yet again the nasty individual thatworks/runs this sespit was at it again. This time it was a lone man. Absolute disgusting behaviour. Why is the brewery employing someone who knows nothing about hospitality or village live. Time to boycott till the brewery steps in.

Incredibly rude elderly landlord, will not support this pub again. Have been with friends for drinks previously but also found bar staff quite bizarre when we were sat outside .. they were ssshing each table?

Nice food and the people serving were very polite and helpful. I had a burger and it was very nice, the drinks were also nice.

It has been many months since i visited this pub with my wife and relatives and it has taken sometime to get over what could be the worst dining experience in my life. We chose the al la carte menu, minimum of four people, to get to the point the food was horrible, absolutely disgusting and a pathetic amateur attempt at providing a prestige service. I did take this up with the manager, after a very heated discussion when he failed to accept the blame, he went on the defensive and eventually tried to manipulate the situation to his advantage by accusing me of making threats against him. The Olde Coach House has never been a great pub and even after a refurb it still looks and feels dank, I felt sorry for my mother in law and her sister who paid the £180 bill, they were robbed, we all were.

My god I stood in that queue for 20 mins while the person behind the counter made TWO coffees. There was a queue of people in front of me so I decided to leave as I only wanted to buy a couple of bottles of water after a run and it’d have taken me longer to get the drinks that it did to run the 10k around the reservoir. 😂
