The 30 Best Restaurant in Northampton

“I recently took my girlfriend to Murray’s restaurant for her birthday as she’s a big fan of fine dining…we were not disappointed. From start to finish, ALL staff, although very young, were confident, welcoming, professional, polite, and knowledgeable of what was on offer. The food was amazing, presentation was excellent, service exemplary and standards high. I would highly recommend to anyone.”

“I have been training at Tier 1 since June 2025, and I cannot believe how much better I feel in just a few months. Jon and everyone at Tier 1 have been so helpful and welcoming. The personalised program has been a game changer.Jon works with you and designs programs to your aims and abilities. I cannot fault Tier 1 and look forward to every visit. Richard W”

We were given Turkish bread and dips after we ordered, then the food came and it was truly amazing! I would also like to say how great Turkish tea is... the taste is incredible! Thank you to the staff at Zara for a brilliant dinner and dining experience. Highly recommend!”

“This is one of the best full English breakfasts I’ve had! All quality ingredients, served swiftly and with a smile and genuine warmth cooked to perfection from the chefs at the open kitchen. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Oh and the coffee is really good too (and we are total coffee snobs!)”

“We are regulars here at Ying Lung. We really enjoy it and find it's the best in Northampton. The only thing I wish they did was accept cards for payments but a lot of Chinese takeaways are cash only so this isn't unique to Ying Lung, and the food makes up for it!”

“Wonderful meal at the Taj Mahal last night. Lovely staff and great food. This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Sandy.”

“My wife and I had a very special night at Fratelli's in Woburn, which was a belated celebration for our 21st anniversary. It helped massively that the bill was being picked up by my boss which was the reward for winning a sales competition at work. Everything about our evening was perfect, the quality of the service, the quality of the food and the atmosphere, it was quite simply superb. Probably the best dining night out we've ever had! Thank you Fratelli's, we can't wait to return!!”

“Had dinner in Buffalo mid-week. We didn’t have a reservation. We got a table straight away. The restaurant was busy. Our server, Shah was very helpful and explore menu and suggested some dishes to meet our requirements. The menu had a great selection of dishes. We especially enjoyed the spinach and feta in filo pastry and the prawns. For the main the braised lamb shank and the moussaka were enjoyed. Mehmet was very helpful and checked in with us throughout the meal to ensure we were enjoying our meal. This is an excellent restaurant with good value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommended.”

“Excellent food and service, very friendly staff and very reasonably priced good selection of food. Extremely clean and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be going back!”

“Stunning food, amazing atmosphere and a pretty restaurant. Repeat customers!”

“We had a lovely experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with rustic walls, soft lighting, and charming decorations that make the place feel both elegant and relaxed. The table was nicely set with candles and festive confetti, adding a celebratory touch to the evening. The service felt attentive and pleasant — we were able to enjoy our drinks comfortably and take our time. The wine and beer were nicely presented, and the overall vibe made it easy to unwind and enjoy good company. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a relaxed dinner, a date night, or celebrating something special. Warm ambiance, nice presentation, and a comfortable setting — we had a great time. This plate makes a strong first impression. The steak looks beautifully seasoned, with a generous crust of cracked pepper and a nice sear that suggests it was cooked on high heat to lock in flavor. The sides are inviting and well-balanced. The roasted potatoes look crisp and golden, while the mixed vegetables — broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots — bring color and a healthier counterpoint to the richness of the steak. They appear roasted rather than steamed, which gives them a more flavorful, caramelized finish. The sauce served in a small metal boat adds an elegant restaurant-style presentation. Its creamy texture hints at a peppercorn based sauce. A glass of beer in the background completes the meal perfectly.”

“One of my favourite places to go and eat! We celebrate anniversaries there and so visit at least a few times a year. We've also had their takeaway! Always been very happy with the service and food we've received. I would recommend”
