A group booking for a Wednesday lunchtime. The food was really good. There was not a problem when I had to phone and cancel two meals due to colds. Service with smiles. Lovely venue and food dead on time. Will be back. Thank you.

My son recently moved to Daventry and on our visits to see him we stumbled across this pub. This visit (Sunday 19th October) was the 2nd time we'd visited the establishment. Sunday lunch ( sharing platter for 4) was great. It's presentation was pretty incredible too. We had a great time. Highly recommend the pub!
