Romantic meal in Northampton

“Oh my! This is THE best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! The staff are so lovely! Service is fast! But the food….. oh my absolutely amazing and massive portions! Come here if you can! It won’t disappoint!”

“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!”

“A very nice local pub, had a great lunch with family, great food enjoyed by all. Nice beer, nice garden. Very clean toilets!”

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

“Excellent place to eat proper traditional polish food. It's prepared exactly like 'your grandma' did. Been eating there for years and another excellent point is their consistency. Exceptional food, good service and ok place to eat (you most likely want to take away as they have only 2 tables and no toilets). Can't recommend enough”

“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 :).”

“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 ❤️”

“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.”

“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.”

“Really nice little Italian restaurant, fantastic atmosphere and service. My pizza and tira misu were gorgeous, but I was a little underwhelmed by my prawn starter otherwise I would have scored 5 stars. My wife and I had starters, mains, shared a dessert and I had 2 drinks and it came to just over £60 so really good value in my opinion Definitely worth a visit”

“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.”

“We've just had our first takeaway from here. Food arrived pretty quickly. And more importantly the food was very tasty indeed!! Thoroughly enjoyed our food. After being a bit underwhelmed lately by our usuals, I think we have found our new go to for Indian food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“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”

“Had a fabulous lunch here. The food is exceptional, as is the service. The waitresses couldn't be any more helpful and friendly. Our main waitress, Gosia, was wonderful. We asked her if we could change a few ingredients in some of the dishes, which wasn't a problem at all. She made sure we had everything we needed, was funny and truly lovely. The ambience and lighting is very warm and welcoming. I'd highly recommend this Zizzi, at Rushden Lakes. 10/10!!!”

“Such a lovely setting. Lighting,cleanliness and just the right amount of attention from staff. Not to mention the food came out in great time and subtle flavours of the classic dishes are just heavenly. I love the decor and choice of tablewear. Lovely roaring fire and great beers on tap to boot.”

“Beautiful restaurant with lovely food and excellent friendly staff. Highly recommend! As well as this, their food prices are so reasonable!”

“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”

“Really good home cooked Sunday roast dinner. Friendly staff and the location of the pub and the pub itself is so warm and welcoming. Would 100% return, the surroundings are stunning”

“We recently had an excellent meal at The Horseshoe. The food was delicious and all piping hot with decent portion sizes. The children’s food was just as delicious as the adults. We have dietary requirements due to allergies and the staff were all very good at checking with the kitchen what would/wouldn’t be suitable on the menu and what may have had contact due to cooking techniques. The service was friendly and welcoming, giving the feel of a homely pub. We will definitely be returning.”

“Never a disappointing meal from here, tasty & not greasy. Good price and such friendly staff, best takeaway in town.”

“Just had an amazing breakfast...very friendly and accommodating...we wanted to make changes and add things to our breakfast and this wasn't an issue. Can't wait for our next visit...well done Guys xxx”

“Had a fantastic lunch here, the food was all delicious, very extensive menu to choose from, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The only downside was we waited quite a long time for our food, but the staff were all very friendly and helpful.”

“Experience a taste of Mexico at Mexica. Dive into their mouthwatering nachos, burritos and salsa. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavors that will transport you to the heart of Mexico. A must-visit for any lover of Mexican cuisine.”

“Excellent fish restaurant in Hitchin. All dishes ordered on our table were really good. Also does meat and veggie options. Hake is recommended. Good service and atmosphere. Mains around £20 and worth it. Parking available within short distance.”

“Still the best chinese ever. My god ive missed the food and staff. Amazing food and very friendly people. Best Chinese in Northampton.”

“great little place , lovely food and lovely people . always worth a visit”

“An absolute gem! We drove past this ‘pub’ several times during our holiday & decided to have dinner here on our last night in the UK. A local gathering spot with an incredible menu selection perfect for a special dinner. Truly our favourite meal of the entire trip. The waitress was helpful & recommended some favourites. Beet risotto with bass, sausage & mashed along with fresh peas & leaks/onions. All delish. Appetizers & desserts were equally as impressive. A must stop. A great selection of ciders, beers & wine.”

“Absolutely amazing. The food is great here. Not the cheapest but very high quality. So tasty and worth the money. One of the nicest restaurants in the area. It has atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. Overall the food is superb and I recommend, we will definitely visit again”

“We had our anniversary Sunday lunch at the Saracen’s Head and took our young cocker spaniel to make it more of a challenge. The staff were very good and promptly found a water bowl for the pup whilst taking our drink and food order. We ate at a window table in the bar. The food arrived in good time; it was plentiful and delicious (a Veggie Roast with sprouts, cauliflower cheese and red cabbage and a Steak Burger with chunky chips). Our pup loved the whole thing and so did we - thank you!”
