Box Bar Kitchen Restaurant in Towcester

   Bar - we were there 3 days and on day one there was no mint for mojitos and 2 other beers were unavailable. This didn't get sorted during our visit. Staff friendly but all young and don't seem to have been trained at all. Couldn't pour a beer without wasting half of it in froth. Drinks expensive. Breakfast - £20 per head - watered down scrambled eggs (tasted like milk), watered down orange juice, items missing from buffet which took a long time to replenish. 2 coffee machines, 1 out of order and the other broke while we were waiting. Not great. Dinner - in fairness, the 2 meals we had were served quickly and were tasty despite the restaurant being busy.

   I am honestly totally confused how and why this restaurant still operates in a world class venue. It is obviously evident that the owner/s don’t give any regard whatsoever how their business is run. I extremely doubt there is any one in the kitchen that has the slightest idea how to cook and prepare edible food!! I’m not even going to comment on the food that was bought out to me. It was even an embarrassment for the polite waitress who was totally apologetic for what she saw. Advice for the owner: Your restaurant lacks professionalism. The teenager staff in your kitchen need professional training which they rely on you to provide them. At the very least employ a chef who has the scope to prepare food other than the ability to “deep fry”! Has the ability to prepare a plate of edible food for your clients that does not embarrass the wage you’re paying them, your organisation and the word restaurant. I am extremely eager to hear your response!

   The food here is really quite embarrassing for a hotel of this quality and the world famous guests. The bacon at breakfast is a wonder to behold - it had the consistency of air dried beef. The only edible thing I have found at night are the pizzas - I did try the burger but it was as bad as other reviewers have said. The fish and chips can be ok but the last time I ordered it the chips didn’t taste cooked - suspect they are frozen and fat not hot enough (but what do I know!!!)

   The food arrived very quickly and was okay. I had the pasta and meatballs but the pasta was a little cold but the meatballs were warm so didn’t want to send it back and complain. Our food arrived before our drinks so we chased up our drinks and they didn’t come until we were most of the way through our food- no apology for this at the time. We then waited about 30 mins for our plates to be taken away and given the dessert menus. It then took 20 mins to come over and ask if we wanted any, we didn’t so we asked for the bill. Again this then took another 20 mins for someone to take our payment. The server Bella who took our payment was lovely and apologised for the wait and for any inconvenience- thank you Bella! Overall, the food was okay but the service was quite bad.

   Great location, nice and relaxed ambient and attentive staff. The menu is simple but well-assorted. We found the food tasty and well presented. A refreshing, finer alternative to the usual village pub, with a very solid quality/ price ratio.

   Great place to eat, right next to the start/finish line. Staff really good and helpful. Food, mixed opinions. My burger was cold by the time I got it, it spent a while on the counter before I got it, other halfs food was fine as it was delivered as soon as it was cooked.

   Enjoyable meal. The restaurant was calm and I was able to choose healthily. The menu has calories. The food was well presented and very tasty. Portions size good. Service was attentive and friendly. The bar was missing the gin I wanted but there were enough alternatives. Also are breakfast here. It was a buffet which was the usual fayre but it had the sturdy waffler maker I used in the US which was nice so I could have something warm and fresh. You can also order omelettes and poached eggs. Would return for dinner.
