Dinner options in Northampton

“Popped in for lunch and had a lovely meal. Highly recommend the mushrooms on toast, and the chips were smashing. Slight problem with the battered fish, but the staff were very apologetic, and happy to put things right :) nice touch that the chef also came out to check in with us. P.S. They're dog friendly in the bar!”

“Absolutely loved our experience at Oblique! The food was simply amazing — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The hospitality was top-notch; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Special shoutout to the owner for being so welcoming and ensuring everything was perfect. Quick responses and genuine care made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!”

“We went to the Rose and Crown at Hartwell this past Friday... we've been meaning to visit here for a while. So glad we did and sorry we have not been sooner! The food, service and atmosphere was brilliant. They have a great team who are really friendly, helpful and customer focused. The menu was varied and caters for all tastes. I chose the brie and mushroom crostini as a starter - it was superb! The mains were great - I opted for fish and chips and it didn't disappoint. My wife had one of the specials... the honey chilli salmon and rice with pak choi. Again, delicious! We finished off with the amazing cheese platter - it had us beat! A really generous sharer with enough for a to-go box! All round, really excellent value for a delicious meal out. This little gem is just 2 miles from Hanslope. Give it a go and support our local businesses 100% recommended!”

“Forget skimpy fillings—this is an epic handful of quality ingredients. The stars, as you'd hope, are the sausages. They're juicy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly a cut above the average cafe fare. Paired with thick-cut, well-cooked bacon, a satisfying fried egg, and a slice of punchy black pudding, it’s a full English crammed into a soft, generously sized white bap. It's everything a proper British breakfast should be: hearty, flavourful, and utterly unpretentious. If you're looking for an honest, top-tier bap that will genuinely set you up for the day (or cure last night's sins), the Super Sausage has perfected the formula.”

“I loved our meal here. Such a great restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and the decor lovely. The staff make you feel welcome and are professional. Most of all the food is superb. Wonderful Italian small plates”

“Lovely friendly pub. Quick friendly service. Food was excellent. Portions just the right size to leave room for pudding.”

“Italian food is not on my top list but I should say their pasta dish Steak and Mushroom Penne blew me away. The best pasta I ever had in my life. Excellent taste. No wonder it’s one of their best sellers. I strongly recommend it to all pasta lovers.”

“Ignore the 1 star review the woman leaving that review looks like she would be happy eating a chicken ball through a tennis racket. Anyway me and my friend had an amazing time I’m glad we stumbled upon it! The food was amazing the staff were super friendly and it was quite cosy in there as it felt like you was in someone’s dinning room. Ideal place for a date as was nice and accommodating. This is now my favourite restaurant!”

“Absolutely stunning old pub. Exposed beams, fireplace, low ceiling. Lovely little pub garden too. Sheltered and open.”

“Came here tonight for the first time with my partner. Initially, the queue was long and we figured we’d be there for a good while. However, they were adequately staffed meaning the queue moved quickly. we ordered large chips, two jumbo sausage and curry sauce. It was superb! Chips were fresh and arguably some of the best chippy chips I’ve had. Sausage was also good. Curry sauce had a nice sweetness to it but I think the pot could have been a bit bigger. Will be returning again, thank you :).”

“Just been for a track day there, thought the facilities were great :)”

“The horse and jockey will forever be one of my favourite places in Bedfordshire. The sea food is outstanding and the staff never fail to make me smile. Will recommend to everyone ❤️”

“Been here several times. Tonight we were served by the phenomenal Denisa. She was brilliant! Polite, attentive, good sense of humour and professional! The food as always beautifully presented and absolutely yummy. We brought our friends with us tonight and we were not disappointed! Everyone left happy and full.”

“A small and cosy Thai restaurant in a central location with nearby parking. Very welcoming and friendly staff. The menu caters to all sorts of different tastes with a wide variety of meats, vegetarian and gluten free options. The tamarind duck with coconut rice and pad Thai in particular were excellent 10/10 dishes. This was my first time at this restaurant and I’ll certainly be going back, the food was amazing and everyone in my party agreed! Due to the small size of the restaurant I’d recommend booking in advance, and checking out their menu online.”

“Brilliant service, made to feel very welcomed and looked after. Very tasty food and varied menu for vegan and gluten free options. We shared a few starters, the hummus was exceptional followed by the falafel salad main - delicious! Highly recommend and thank you to all the staff who made our family Xmas meal so lovely.”

“Dropped in mid-week, easy to get a table but they'd quite a number of people in. Still quiet enough to chat easily. Lovely menu, we'll need to get back to try more as the food was great. We ordered a sharing platter, Greek salad, spinach pie and meatballs - it all tasted as good as it looks. Finished off with the orange Pie and coffee. Orange Pie was a great holiday discovery, we've been trying in restaurants ever since... We think this has the No 1 spot now!”

“The food is spectacular. I especially recommend the fish wrap starter and the curried goat main. The cocktails are lovely and good value when 241. They also do a kids menu. The services is very good. We were served by Antony who was very pleasant indeed and he made us feel welcome and relaxed. He spoke to my 3 year old daughter to. Which was nice.”

“My favorite pub in the UK! I’ve visit a lot of pubs but the Cross Keys is near home and every time I go is all joy, food, drinks, restaurant, pub, garden in summer… I visit almost every week and I never regret it. Fully recomended! Best part? Cruzcampo, a beer from Sevilla, my home town.”

“If you're in MK or Bletchley. You're making a mistake getting a curry from any other venue. Hospitable, friendly staff. Well priced, well cooked food. Great atmosphere.”

“Visited French Affaire for a birthday breakfast and it was my first visit. The dishes were delivered to our table quickly and were really tasty. I had an oat flat white which was also very nice! I’d definitely recommend a visit.”

“We had a lovely afternoon tea and I was really impressed from the minute I walked in. We received a fabulous greeting as though they'd known us for years and the service from that moment on was absolutely brilliant. The food was delicious and we were offered more sandwiches and top ups on the drinks throughout our visit. The whole area was decorated beautifully and the atmosphere was so friendly and fun. I can't recommend this enough and thank you for a lovely time.”

“We absolutely love this takeaway. Excellent portion size. So helpful when you can up and the owner is very knowledgable about gluten free options for me. I often recommend this place to friends and family.”

“Staff Friendly, food ok, drink only can order as bottle instead of glasses, but everything still alright. Some people will celebrate their birthday here, birthday songs provided.”

“Great authentic Indian food. Had the best biriani I've ever had from here. Great portion sizes at a reasonable price.”

“We called in lunchtime on an awful day( pouring rain and windy) needless to say we were the only diners. Vijay our waiter was excellent: helpful, polite, friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. We had a selection of starters as we like to have a ‘tapas’ type lunch. You get an idea of the standard of food that way. There is complimentary bread and dips and a very good choice of wine. Definitely coming back with friends and family for an evening slap up!!!”

“Popped in for a fantastic Italian meal last night. My friend had the calzone which was crammed full of delicious pizza toppings and I had the special salmon pasta which was superb. All washed down with a few pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Definitely worth a visit!”

“Delicious food. Polite and friendly service. Best Indian food I've had in years! The balance of flavours sublime! Like each ingredient has its purpose and space in each dish. My first time there on recommendation from a local friend and will definitely return next time I'm in the area. (3 covers - celebrating with two friends)”

“Beautiful food… I had Bacalhau com natas and it was better than in Portugal itself. Good size portions and nice kids food too! Drove 45 minutes for lunch but was definitely worth it! Will be booking again soon! Thank you”

“Alacati Grill is the best restaurant in town hands down. The food is always freshly made. I had the kebab yoghurt and the wifey had the chicken wings. Both of them are very good. They have a menu for children and that is also fresh, not frozen and then microwaved. The place has a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of wine or cocktails to choose from. My go to place when friends are in town.”
