Dropped down a lot - a bit League of Gentlemen meets Straw Dogs on last visit. Couldn't get a seat as someone was saving them for people who hadn't turned up by the time I'd left. Couldn't get near the bar as some fat get was spread out along it. Landlord was loudly nattering about how he wasn't going to let riff raff from other pubs come in to is - can understand why has he already has enough of his own.

A definite improvement on last visit - it is the town's main ale pub nothing else to touch it bar the couple of micropubs.

Good pub with patio outside. Nice choice of beers which seemed in good nick.

Older pub on Oxford St with plenty of parking in the supermarket off Sharman Rd. Comfortable, well-appointed and clean with maybe 10 real ales, though with a less interesting selection than the Locomotive on the outskirts of town, and not such a warm welcome either. No real complaints though

Possibly the best pub in town with 16 hand pulls
2 were for Cider and 2 blank which means 12 different real ales.
Spoiled a bit by a few regulars (own puter tankard etc) standing in the middle
of the bar blocking your view of all that is on offer.
I tried a pint of Mauldons Silver Adder @ �3.10 which was very nice.

An okay alehouse wouldn't rave about it too much. Has a good selection and a nice beer garden but the few pints I had here were average rather than exceptional.

Fantastic Real Ale pub. Great selection of beers from a variety of breweries. I went in the day and had a couple of quiet pints - I don't know what it is like in the evening but the quality of the ale is no doubt guaranteed.
Another gem of a pub in the county to go alonside the Alexandra Arms in Kettering and Malt Shovel in Northampton.

I have to say this pub is great this pub has up to 10 ales on at any one time and they were all very well kept.
The pub was also spotless very well kept and presented service was quick and friendly.
I also had a bite to eat and i had a minted lamb shank which was fab.
No complaints here five star all the way.
Also noticed it has a pub of the year award for Northants and a east midlands pub of the year award clearly displayed on the bar...
