Bar pub in Towcester

“Just came in for a quick pint before a wedding. Went for the American IPA. Good service. Lovely pint. Even though it was busy, it was lovely and peaceful sat in the beer garden.”

“Fantastic experience food was amazing and the service was fab ! Really reccomend !!! 5 of had pie and mash each with multiple drinks and one starter all for under £100”

“Friendly atmosphere, very cozy place, very nice and funny waitress! We had nice juicy steak and burgers, everything was very well cooked, it was delicious! For sure we will come back again!”

“Never really been here before it has just changed hands as never appealed, but the food is fantastic , and has now become our regular eatery, especially as on a Monday they offer 25% off the food bill, the fillet steak is Beautiful & cooked to perfection, also they make a great strawberry daiquiri”

“Me and my partner finished our dance lesson up the road and popped in on the off chance they were serving food past 8pm. The gentlemen I spoke to was friendly and inviting, our dog also was allowed in. The food looked lovely and tasted great! the gin cocktail I had was great. The local atmosphere was great. Definitely a lucky find!”

“We had a lovely dinner last night at DNA Steak and Grill in Towcester. We were a table of four and everything was spot on — the food was delicious, especially the steaks, cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service made it even better. Huge thanks to Elena, Zuza, Ella and Alys ❤️ — all of them were amazing, so friendly and attentive the whole evening. One of the best spots in town — we’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Popped into the Crown today for a drink. We hadn't planned to eat, but the food being served looked too good to miss. The ladies behind the bar were very accommodating and soon prepared us a table despite them being busy already. The food was hot, delicious and a perfect portion size. The beef was exquisite! The service overall was brilliant and we were made to feel very welcome by everyone.”

“Visited with a friend today, received a warm welcome. Food arrived in good time, nice and hot and portions are a good size. The sea bass was delicious and I loved my pudding with hot custard! I've been recommended the Prawn starter which will be my next choice . Thank you for a lovely meal. Parking was plenty and easy to access.”

“This is a hidden gem of a pub. You can stay overnight in your campervan, they have electric hook up and WiFi. The owners could not do enough for us, we rang to book and was told they stop serving food at 16:00hrs on a Sunday, but if we were late they would sort us out for food. We arrived an hour after they stopped serving but still welcomed us and let us choose whatever we wanted from the menus and the food was delicious. The locals were very friendly as was the staff/owners who could not do enough for us. We will definitely return when we are back in the area. 10 out of 10.”

“Highly recommend!! Just wish we lived closer so we could come more often. We had a table of 7 with 4 different dishes and they were all fabulous. All the food came out together and was piping hot. The service was great! Very friendly and attentive ☺️”

“Can I say, that Chris and team are doing a great job, the food each time we have eaten has been excellent and really good VFM, the decor has been spruced up and most importantly for me and my mates, there are now, a couple of cask ale guest beers on tap, one of which is usually from a local brewery. We have seen tenants come and go with very mixed results, however Chris and team are right up there. Myself and everyone in the village are so pleased we have our lovely pub back!! Thank you!!!”

“I really enjoyed my time here. Went for a family meal, and there was a wide choice of food for everyone. Quality of the food was great, and nobody had any issues. The venue was clean and welcoming, but maybe a little on the cold side with the change in temperature that day - but cant really blame them for that. Staff were all really nice and gave a great quality of service. The venue was great for us as a family to come, but it would equally be fine for just a couple to go to. My only point for improvement would be the beer selection wasnt exactly to my taste, but it might be to yours. Will definitely be making a trip there again, and hopefully when the canal museum is open too.”

“Stayed for a couple of nights. We were greeted by friendly staff on arrival. Great food and great atmosphere in the pub area. Would happily stay again here.”

“Fabulous place - we visited, table of 4 for dinner after travelling to stay for the Winter Go Karting weekend of racing. We enjoyed the food, good selection of starters, mains, sides & desserts Service & welcome was excellent A place to visit if down this way”

“Hired their function room for a private event and it was wonderful. Ordered a buffet and it was absolutely amazing. Catered to GF and DF guests, everything was laid out beautifully and prepared with care. Would highly recommend.”

“Nice cricket ground new clubhouse being built.”

“Great selection of craft beers, ciders and gins. (Wine& fizz are available but limited.) Very friendly atmosphere welcoming to all. Food is just bar snacks in packets - this is a bar and bottle shop, not a restaurant.”

“Loved the late afternoon lunch with my friend. The creamy garlic mushrooms were absolutely divine and the service was great. The lovely Kodie was gracious and ensured that we were taken care of. Definitely coming back and look forward to sitting outside in the summer!”

“Great lunch. Arrived just as they opened and orderes small plates. Food came fast and hot. Excellent fish cake and calamari. Chorizo was not at all spicy with pleasing flavour. Good BBQ wings and honey whipped feta was great. No pic of the fiash because we ate it before I thought to take a photo. Great lunch sitting outside in the September sunshine”

“Stayed here for about a week recently bed and breakfast. Everyone was very friendly. Tracy very on it with breakfast every morning making my life as easy as possible. The entire place from the room to the toilets were kept extremely clean and welcoming. Would stay again. Thanks.”

““The Brave Old Oak is everything you want in a classic English pub. The historic building adds so much character, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, and the food is absolutely delicious—especially the hearty mains that pair perfectly with their excellent selection of ales. It’s no surprise this place is a local favorite. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Towcester!””

“The Cock is back. Good food and finally an atmosphere.”

“excellent pub, great atmosphere, great regulars, great place to stay also. Will be back very soon !!!”

“A most enjoyable visit to a traditional village pub. Good beer, a good selection of drinks and a varied menu. The landlord was good company and served a fine pint. A great menu so, We're going back for a meal this week”

“Great food, great drinks and fabulous service. Waiters were both very attentive and friendly. Would come again!”

“Visited Towcester for the weekend, popped in on the 10th October for evening dinner, was pretty busy but food came out quick and hot. We sadly did have to rush as our table was booked for another group shortly after us. We decided to return on the 11th with a booking this time. Food was honestly 10/10, service was amazing and couldn't have asked for a better birthday meal. Many thanks to the staff for an enjoyable experience!”

“Stayed overnight. Room comfortable and everything you could need. Breakfast fabulous.”
