The pub has a long history and used to be part of the council offices before being converted to a Barclays bank. Since then, it was opened as the Rat & Parrot before trading with it new name today. Probably the largest pub in Northampton, the J-shaped central bar is accessible to most areas. Secluded booths offer some privacy from the TV screens. A DJ performs on Friday, Saturday, and Bank holidays.
