Wine selection in Northampton

“Excellent, warm and attentive service. I went in to purchase wine pairings to a set menu. The wines the proprietor suggested complemented food beautifully and we're approved of by my guests who have much deeper knowledges of wine than I. I'll be back for more pairings next time I entertain, in fact next time I want to really enjoy wine with a meal. I hope this business does well.”

“Loved doing my WSET2 course with Nick from Duncan Murray’s. Great fun learning about so many wines. Such an eye opener - a few faves in the photos. Nick was hugely knowledgeable. Try the shop too it’s a treasure trove of loveliness!”

“Lovely cheese selection, the owner was very helpful. I highly recommend”

“Lovely staff - really know their wines and were so helpful because I don't. They gave me excellent recommendations for white, red and sparkling wines.”

“Came here to drop off a UPS package and couldn’t believe my luck - they have Camel Balls bubble gum!! Super rare and totally inappropriate for kids so no idea which crazy person created them… But they taste amazing so try one! Great service too thank you :)”

“Great service, awesome flavours @ a good price. The quality of the service made us feel special. My boys loved it”

“Probably one of the best ranges of wines in the area, let alone just Toddington, some absolutely delicious malbecs, also benefits from a recent refit. Some may feel a bit too far to walk, being on the edge of the village, but worth the effort”

“Food was delicious, great atmosphere and service was simply amazing! Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely sensational meal.. Catering for 22 of us. Lovely food served piping hot and all together.. The FOH Staff and the kitchen crew deserve medals.. Possibly my meal of the year.. Great work!!”

“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.”

“I stumbled across Baloo and I’m so glad I did. This place is an absolute gem. From the outside, it looks amazing and from the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with cozy vibes, friendly faces, and the amazing smell of whatever magic is happening in the kitchen. Let’s talk about the food — because it was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and it was hands-down one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. You know it’s good when you're already planning your next visit before you’ve finished your plate.The staff were super welcoming without being overbearing, and they really made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell they care about the details. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed night out or just want to treat yourself to something delicious, Baloo is 100% worth it. Don’t miss out — go hungry and leave happy.”

“This was our first experience at Cromwell Cottage. We enjoyed everything about our time here. Our food was cooked perfectly for us - hot, fresh & the steaks to our preference. Staff were attentive, professional, friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Atmosphere was relaxed & happy. Myself & my husband were able to have a conversation without having to shout across the table to each other. We will definitely visit again in the future.”

“Small shop but good for almost any kind of stuff you need to buy”

“Cam here on a busy Saturday night. Although the restaurant was busy we got served very quickly and order food quickly. Our waitress was lovely. The food came out very quickly and tasted nice. My partner really liked the spaghetti carbonara. We had dessert, sticky toffee pudding and the Nutella doughnuts. Very nice and came out quick too. Would come back again.”

“I had taken my wife there for her birthday and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant fairly quiet with I think reserved seating. The service very nice and pleasant but the waitress seemed preoccupied. But so what, the food, "oow,..was to live for". Definitely recomend and definitely will be a repeat customer. Well done Bella Italia..!”

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.”

“DRINK is a fantastic craft beer shop with six taps and plenty of choice available. Adam and Sarah are always welcoming and wonderfully knowledgable. They are dog/bike/runner friendly too and will always find room to get you in. A real asset to the town that I cannot recommend enough!”

“Delicious Meze platters to feed all of our family for a birthday house party. So much food and all delicious, the meats, chips, salads, dips and pittas were enjoyed by everybody both adults and children. Every plate was clean. Great communication and customer service.
