We visited on Saturday the beers we tried were in tip top condition,a little pricey for the area and the pints are very carefully not top up.A bare board basic pub but it was very clean.7/10.

Really good boozer, serving top ales. Oakham Citra on top form.

Really impressed - we expected a good locals' pub with great beer but got a really enjoyable community establishment too. Amid characterful streets which betray the town's shoemaking roots, a lot of care goes into how this pub is run. Ales are primarily local but did include a divine Inferno from Oakham.

Slightly in two minds about this one. The beer was good, and nice to see lots of local brews. The music was good too. But the barmaid seemed to resent having her conversation interrupted to serve me, and there was a baby yelling its head off all the time I was there. Would probably go back, but preferred the Wig & Pen, Malt Shovels and Eastgate for a pub in Northampton.

Went to this pub on Wednesday lunchtime. Had lunch here, the menu was ok but limited. Did want fish and chips but one of the fryers not working.

Beer selection very good, 4 real ales on. I think they were all local ones too.

Nice patio beer garden out back, done a very good job with the limited space they have. About 5 mins walk from the bus station.

Now this is a great pub. The open room plan makes it welcoming, the staff and patrons are friendly and there's a decent little smoking area/garden out the back. There was a good range of ales available but didn't try those as there is also Krombacher on draught which, in my opinion (for what it's worth) is a great german beer. Only visited Northampton for a couple of days but spent two evenings here which says a lot. It's a real gem of a local pub.

Lovely pub, good selection of well kept ales, great music (not too loud) and very friendly. Not tried any of the food so far other than the chips, but they're pretty good. Open mic night on a Monday, quizz on Wednesday, music quizz on a Thursday and live music over the weekends (other stuff goes on regularly too).

New owners have taken over and have changed it for the better. Sunday roast was cracking, good beer and the garden is coming along a treat, great little pub
