Intimate dining in Northampton

“Absolutely fantastic Indian restaurant. We went for the first time for my mums birthday and we had a great experience. We had the banquet meal which is £14.99, you get a starter, main, side, naan and rice all included in the price. We brought a cake and they added a sparkler and brought it out whilst singing happy birthday. After this experience I’ve returned 3 times in 2 months. I will definitely be back, thank you again.”

“Gabriella and her team created an amazing birthday cake for my partner. She even walked it to my car as I had a baby in tow! Would highly recommend!”

“Had lunch here with my folks for my birthday and to say it was a delight is an understatement. Kerry welcomed us and looked after us epically! The food (though took a while) was worth the wait. Beautiful Turkish dishes which were authentic and delicious. It wasn't busy today but we have just hit the 6 people restrictions during covid so I didn't expect it to be busy. I can imagine you'd need to book for an evening, the decor is lovely, modern yet authentic. Great value for their lunch menu, although I couldn't help but want everything so went for the mixed grill! Thank you for looking after us and we look forward to our next visit.”

“Just as before...fabulous! Last visit was on Mother's Day/ Wedding Anniversary...tonight everything was truly delightful again : welcome, drinks and food (as always thanks to Jacob and his team) up to the highest standard. Marianna maintained a professional and friendly service and we look forward to a return on Independence Day. Well done everyone. Richard and Beryl Dron”

“I can count how many times with my fingers I have been to a Turkish restaurant. This restaurant is round the corner from the main market square and Waitrose, which are the main landmarks to me who is not familiar with St Neots. However, the quality of the food and service exceeded my expectation when comparing those Turkish restaurants which I have been to in London and Istanbul respectively. We went for the lunch menu (on a Saturday) - £13.99 for a two-course meal.  I had battered calamari rings for starter. They turned out to be very crispy outside while moist and soft inside. Then I had chicken shish. The chicken cubes were so moist and tasty. I also ordered a 500ml bottle of Turkish beer to share with my friend. The restaurant's owner kindly gave us some bulgur to try. The restaurant was super clean as it had been renovated not long ago. I ended the meal with a well-presented slice of Banoffee pie. Will definitely go back to try other dishes on the lunch menu.”

“We ate here while visiting St. Neots and wow, what a great choice we made! Very good food, TOP-NOTCH service, and views of the river make this a winning combination to pick for nice dining or just to grab a pint. We enjoyed watching the swans swimming while we ate.”

“On a cold December day we chanced upon the Cafe. We were impressed with the very friendly staff and quick service. The place was very busy, but there plenty of willing staff on to serve. I had a sirloin baguette and Gill had a salmon bagel. Both were exceptionally tast. The price was not cheap, but fair these days I would say and if you have a good nosh that's OK by me. There is an outside area too which will be great in summer I imagine.”

“Always great food and lovely service. Best food in town.”

“Dining at Sketch was nothing short of enchanting—a true celebration of flavor, artistry, and atmosphere. From the moment the beautifully plated salad arrived, bursting with vibrant colors and fresh textures, every bite felt like a thoughtful balance between elegance and creativity. The sweetness of mango and pomegranate danced perfectly with the peppery arugula, creating a refreshing introduction that instantly set the tone for the evening. The cocktails were just as memorable—one delicate and floral, the other bold and citrus-forward—each crafted with precision and designed to complement the meal rather than overwhelm it. The main course, a flawlessly cooked steak, was the highlight of the night. Tender, full-bodied, and intensely flavorful, it was paired with golden lattice-cut chips and delicate herbs that elevated the dish to something truly luxurious. Dessert carried the experience forward with playful sophistication. The macarons were rich, aromatic, and perfectly textured—crisp on the outside and soft on the inside—while the petite fruit jellies offered a charming finish and a gentle sweetness. Surrounded by warm lighting, thoughtful service, and Sketch’s iconic whimsical décor, the entire evening became not just a meal, but an experience to remember. Sketch is a restaurant that celebrates dining as an art form, and I can’t wait to return.”

“This is my new favourite family takeaway! The food is amazing and we have never been let down by them. The staff here are really friendly too”

“What an absolute gem of a place. This is our second visit and once again the service, food and atmosphere was amazing, if I could rate it more than 5 star I would. The staff went above and beyond and made my mum feel so special singing happy birthday to her. They also always had a smile (it goes a long way). Thank you.”

“We had are Christmas works dinner here brilliant service and brilliant food. The food came out really quick, didnt leave us waiting always making sure we were all okay and making sure we had everything we needed and kept us topped up on are drinks would definitely recommend it was absolutely brilliant”

“I usually am cautious with Chinese food as a lot of places I have tried upset my stomach with whatever they use to cook with etc. This place, recommended by my girlfriend, pleasantly surprised me. Clean and tasty food. The Duck was near perfect. Not greasy but still juicy shredded duck. Sure it's very busy peak times because it's a nice place for a take away.”

“Went for lunch and was not disappointed. Our server was Dave who was extremely polite and helpful. Had the rump steak and sometimes you get a mixed bag with rump but I can say this was really nice and not tough at all. Thanks Dave and the staff for a nice meal.”

“Treated my mum and partner to an authentic Thai dinner. When returning they both said how nice everything was. There were special mentions for the tom yum soup, duck pad Thai and pad king prawns with coconut rice. Excellent all round.”

“I've been there several times an their services are excellent and their foods are exceptional unique and one in many otters”

“Very lively place, shame about 9 clock curfew. Great atmosphere, will return when back to some normality.”

“Have always gone here, always will. Can not be beaten and I will swear by it until I die”

The dine-in experience was top-notch, with excellent customer service from the friendly staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Highly recommend Kerala Hut for a delicious and authentic dining experience!”
