The best restaurants serving British food in East Northamptonshire East Midlands

We visited today for the Sunday Carvery and were most impressed with the food and great service, especially Lynne.Will definitely return!👍

The Ship Inn has been a regular stop for me as I have family in Oundle. Recently we approached the pub to hold a wake for my Dad and they couldn't have handled it any better. The venue is cosy, yet workable for a crowd, the food really is excellent and the rooms were perfect for all our visiting family. Above all, the staff at The Ship go out of their way to make sure you are happy. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place.

Visited the Kings Head last month and had a superb Sunday lunch, so decided to rebook for a friends birthday today, well it couldn't have more disappointing.... they had run out of orange juice, the pate clearly wasn't chicken liver parfit, the cottage pie I asked my friend to try who is also a home cook of 50 yrs plus and her reaction was " school dinner " as it was so bland. Certainly not the experience of the month before. The party of 4 agreed we will not be returning.

First visit for a while. Will need to go back again. Food really good, good size portions and served piping hot. Very reasonable prices as well.

My wife and I called into the Courtyard for lunch and had a very good meal. My wife had the Ploughmans and I had the ham egg and chips. The meal could not be faulted by either of us! We both opted for the stawberry cheesecake which was sublime. The waitress was very attentive and did a very good job. We intend to go back this week to try other options on the menu.

Excellent accommodation friendly staff great value for money and great location would recommend this hotel to anyone give it a try you won’t be disappointed

Although the service in the cafe was slow and the staff forgot to bring me my order, the food was actually very tasty. However, the visit to the toilet was horrendous - the toilet seat in the unisex, accessible toilet had been left up to, to expose the most disgusting orange/brown urine staining (see photo's). I reported this to the store manager, who couldn't have been less interested - despite me showing her the toilet seat, she offered no apology, smiled and stated that it had already been reported and she was already aware of it. I believe she said that it was being addressed next week, so if anyone needs the toilet, you may be better to cross your legs until you can find somewhere more sanitary to use! Very annoyingly, the manager saw fit to speak to somebody on her headset whilst I was talking to her - really disrespectful and patronising. Really not the standard that I expected from Waitrose!

The best breakfast I have had in my life and the taste and workers are amazing the owner is so friendly as well , thank u so much everybody

I don't go into coffee shops alone. Had 40mins to while away.Saturday early afternoon Good coffee and tea cake. Lovely attentive lady serving.Shame they where out of cheese scones. Nice safe cafe for timid singles.

Lovely little cafe with great choice of brunch options and cake. Lots of tea and coffee options.Staff were friendly and helpful.

What a treasure of a place. The staff are incredibly friendly and delightful and this is a truly dog-friendly place. Loved the food, great location for a rest stop while out and about in town - definitely returning soon.

Really a tale of two experiences, arriving slightly later than our booking, not being local anyone that has to negotiate the Rushden Lakes Christmas rush hour traffic will I’m sure sympathise, we enquired at the bar to say we’d arrived, there was no room at the inn here, so we was told to go to the main door, who knew there was two, to check inn, we asked where that was, and the manageress very kindly got one of the young staff to show us (have you worked at Sainsbury’s, well done) however, the queue was back out of the door which, by the time we eventually checked in, the table had been released (I know, it’s our fault for being late) but the phaff in rebooking the table, I didn’t see 8 people come in and take what would have been our original table, was just too much like hard work, eventually we got sat down but told we had to vacate by 645pm which wasn’t a problem. Next challenge, getting a drink and ordering, the app, which would have solved a problem, didn’t allow for amendments, my grandkids didn’t want cheese on the burgers and with no option to do this, I visited the bar. There was two other clients at the bar, one being served and another waiting, I stood on one side and was told, please don’t stand there, stand over there as I need to know who’s next, which I did but then thought, there’s only 2 of us it can’t be that hard to remember, surely if a queue system is needed, then make a sign, though when I was served someone else stood where I was originally, but wasn’t asked to move as another member of staff appeared, begging the question, what if there was a queue All of this didn’t set a precedent for the meal, however I was proved wrong, the meal was served quickly, correctly, hot and with a smile, well done for this element, the hamburgers were wolfed down as was everyone’s meal. Greene King, please just sort out the front of house and ordering experience (bar staff and app) Ps. Question for any HH management, what’s the importance of the black cup you get when you’re taken to the table and the insistence of getting it back half way through the meal?

Our 'go to' choice when we want a nice meal out. I think this pub has won a few awards recently.

Mid way between Stamford and Northamton (almost), it made an ideal venue for our anual family Christmas gathering. Terrific staff, fabulous food, faultless service and a lovely atmosphere.

Most probably the best food I’ve ever had. If you are looking for a cosy pub with great food next to an open fire then you have found it. Make sure you book though as it gets very busy. Ask for Jamie and say jack sent you.
