A family pub and restaurant located in a residential area. With its three distinct areas of bar, restaurant and function room alongside a good sized garden, it offers an ideal space for families and friends to meet in Northampton. There are always four ales on with the emphasis being on LocAle with 20p off a pint for CAMRA Members at all times. At weekends, one ale will be offered at £3. Alongside it's varied menu, Monday is Pie night, Wednesday is Steak Night with breakfast Saturday & Sunday 9 - 11am and Sunday lunch 12.:30-3:30. Not that the pub will close early if quiet.

Misleading Dispense

This venue has been flagged by CAMRA volunteers as using a misleading dispense method to serve beer.

This is a 'Fresh Ale' - a keg beer served through a cask handpump. Find out more here Handpump Hijack.

If in doubt, we recommend that you Ask if it's Cask before making a purchase.
