The 20 Best Pub in Rushden

“Wonderful local run and historic buildings/trains and artifacts on display. Train carriages you can enter, displays, old cars, local experts and volunteers always on site. A great place to spend a couple hours and they have amazing local events like beer and sausage festivals etc super cheap day out”

“To be completely honest. We found this gem of a pub by pure accident and I am so glad we did. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The food is reasonably priced and also very good quality. I had the fish and chips and the burger and they were both very good sized portions. I will definitely be returning to this pub. The interior was very well maintained. If It was possible to give six stars, i would.”

“Milena was our server and she was lovely, went in for my 20th with my boyfriend and she kindly gave me such a delicious cake and happy birthday written in chocolate”

“Travelled here for my dear Cousin Garys wake. Very friendly with a fabulous beer garden”

“Great venue to hire for a private party. Music, bar service, clean.”

“Access is from the staircase at the back by the waterside. Freshly renovated with a rather pinky look inside. Tastefully done though. You can reserve a table online if you wish.. Plenty of friday evening entertainment with live singers. A large spacious area with lots of seating. A dance floor too. Outdoor seating for warmer nights with nice views. Its not just for youngsters, there seems to be a mixed age range inside which is nice to see. VERY nice cocktails. Service was quick. Do choose carefully on the food menu, I'd say they were more warm snacks than actual large plated meals.”

“Very friendly service! Basic room (standard travelodge), perfect location for the lakes! Plenty of options near by for a great breakfast, shopping and a stroll round the lakes.”

“A great place to come and try what's available in the world of beer. An excellent range if craft beers bottled, canned or on draught. The selection on offer is well thought out, offering a range across the varieties. From Spurs to DIPAs to shouts and everything in between. There are spirits and cocktails on offer for those not keen on beer, and nibbles are available for the peckish. The decor is clean and welcoming. With nice little touches with the lighting etc. Would highly recommend for the knowledgeable friendly staff, and the amazing range to go at. Worth several visits to make your way through them all.”

“I have visited here with different people over the last couple of weeks. The first time, my friend and I ordered the Super grain salad. It doesn't say anywhere in the ingredients there's anything hot or spicy in it, but neither of us could eat it! We asked if they could check with the chef and he said there's a coating on the grains that isn't mentioned. They apologized and changed our meals for another one with no fuss.”

“Great pub. Lovely staff, great drinks and food and their quiz and band nights are a lot of fun. Lovely staff the atmosphere in there. We all have favourites, and my favourite staff member is Summer. Always professional, courteous and fun to talk to.”

“Brilliant friendly pub with charismatic landlord. Brilliant pint of Abbott Ale straight from the barrel”

“After not going into this pub for many years, since it has been taken over and revamped and an awesome food menu, I've been twice in a month! This has become a real comfortable, friendly, cosy pub, does amazing food and has weekly events.... also offer food delivery..... dont lose what could become a real gem in this town.... use it so we dont lose it!”

“A good venue to hire for a private function! Good price, great size room, can take your own buffet, friendly staff and a great selection of drinks behind the bar.”

“Absolutely delicious food, with lots of choice, we all went for the roast, many side dishes included which you pay extra for anywhere else. The service by Callum, Amanda and another young lady was spot on, nothing was too much trouble. All in all, great venue, delicious food and great service, I’m proud to call you my local!!”

“Pizza on pool nights are a great touch, very tasty! Staff are always smiling, and have lovely conversations with you! The pub is clean and tidy! We love to come and meet friends, and have a laugh! Great assett to rushden”

“We had my mother in laws wake there it was a very nice buffet drinks at reasonable prices. Please support this local business they are fighting for their existence. Bring your clubs, wakes, parties and attend their events they are working hard for us”

“Went to my friends 60 birthday party on Saturday what a fantastic night great service everyone was so friendly and the live band was amazing”

“My daughter just needed the toilet and unlike some pubs, the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Next time we visit we will make a point of actually having a drink as the atmosphere was lovely.”

“We visited for the European semi finals and the atmosphere was great. The staff were keeping up with our demands for beer ( there were 2 tables of 6 !!) and kept us all refreshed. The doormen were really friendly too which was a bonus and social distancing was observed so it felt really safe in there. A huge selection of drinks to choose from so something for everyone. We shall definitely be going back.”

“Visiting the area with family, it was a REALLY busy Sunday!! Our waitress Bernie was really efficient and made us feel very welcome. Ordering and service was smooth and seamless, atmosphere in restaurant was nice, its light and nicely decorated with plenty of space between tables, even when super busy we could still hear each other when talking. Food: we ordered Pizzas and Cannelloni with a side salad. Everything came nicely cooked and well presented, I love when you get food exactly as described on the menu. I definitely recommend Pixxa Express if you are shopping at Rushden Lake. Prices are on the higher side but is matched with quality.”

“Lovely Sunday carvery. Will definitely come again”

“​I spent New Year’s Eve here and I am still blown away by the value for money. For just £10 per person, I wasn't expecting much, but the night exceeded all expectations. ​The Highlights ​The Food: The price included a full 3-course meal. The portions were generous, and the quality was surprisingly good considering the ticket price. ​The Entertainment: After dinner, there was a disco that kept the energy high all night. The music selection was great and perfect for seeing in the New Year. ​Value: Brilliant. In an era where many venues charge triple digits for New Year's Eve, getting a meal and a full night of entertainment for £10 is unheard of. ​Final Verdict ​If you’re looking for a night that offers a fantastic atmosphere without the "holiday markup," this is it. Brilliant value for money and a great way to start the year!”

“Ordered food from Georgia’s Fish and Chip Bar tonight. Food was spot on as always portions spot on not too big or small just perfect. We had it delivered the delivery gentleman was polite and food arrived still piping hot.”

“A great pub. When I went it was covid secure and taken very seriously by staff. It was my first public house visit since feb and the staff kindly explained the rules. I Felt very safe. The cask ale was perfect. 5 stars.”

“Basic room, but clean and sufficient to lay your head. Linda and staff made us feel like locals! Very welcoming and super customer service, room wasn’t ready so she gave us a discount voluntarily!which was so lovely , busy pub full of well behaved young people having fun…… but by midnight not a sound . We are hoping to stay agsin for the famous beer festival later this year, Kate and Brian Thomson 23/5/23”

“We eat here quite often because it fits our family budget. Tonight, Sunday 17th August, we met at 6pm and both food and service were extra special. The service from Eleanor was brilliant and it was a pleasure to watch her serving everyone very efficiently and with a cheerful smile. We didn’t get the chef’s name but thanked him personally as everyone’s food was really well prepared. Thank you.”
