Tollemache Arms, Harringtonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
What a great find. Huge beer garden with play area with awesome views. 5 Cask ales which I don't think I've ever seen in a country pub. They even have Japanese lager! Bar Food is really quite excellent and good value. Restaurant looked good too but not tried it yet.

Great bar meals and great beer. Nuff said

Had a pleasant pint of porter here. Hopefully, the brash "chuck my top of the range performance car keys on the bar" posers are not regulars that would deter me from returning and I'd leave them to brag and bore the arses off some other poor soul.

Delicious food, excellently presented. It's not the cheapest pub I've ever eaten in but the selection is really unusual and obviously prepared by a proper cook and not just a microwave operator

I found the Tollemache Arms to be a very charming pub. It had plenty of room and a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant was a good size and felt comfortable, not too squeezed in like some pub restraints. The menu was varied and everything looked good. Certainly enough on the menu to make me want to return to try another dish! The food was well presented, cooked perfectly and served hot with the vegetables on a side dish. The wine, though not my choice, was I�m told very acceptable by a man who knows more about wine than I�d ever want too. The staffs were friendly and helpful without being too attentive. The garden outside is big and great for kids. It also looks onto a great view of fields and Northamptonshire greenery. I would most certainly return to try another of their fine dishes and see if it matches up to my expectations.

The Tollemache Arms is a charming and relaxing 16th century thatched country pub, which in my opinion provides attentive service and excellent quality food and drink at reasonable prices.
Inside, the pub has plenty of room in its friendly bar, with an open fireplace adding additional warmth in the winter. The restaurant consists of two good sized rooms, one at either end of the pub, each capable of seating a reasonable number of people without them being cramped.
The choices in the menu would cater for most tastes, and certainly my friends all found something to their liking for each course, and thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. The food was attractively presented, cooked perfectly and served hot with the vegetables on a side dish. The staff were helpful and attentive without being obtrusive.
There is an excellent choice of wines, and the prices were reasonable. A good range of real ales are also available, and judging by the cheerful people eating and drinking in this establishment, many of whom were obviously regular visitors, they also thought the Tollemache Arms is an excellent pub and restaurant. We quickly found we could relax and talk without having to raise our voices, which says a lot for the ambiance of this fine old pub.
Outside, there is a large car park and an even larger garden facing onto open fields across a gently sloping valley. Sitting in the garden provides a completely unobstructed view across several miles of beautiful Northamptonshire countryside.
Would I go back � of course, I already have done so and plan to do so again soon !

I have always had a perfect pint here. I really cannnot fault the beer. It is superbly kept and they have a good range on. The pub is a lovely old building with a stunning garden, and its my favourate drinking hole. I eat here regualrly with the wife, and we have always had superb food. The menu is quite exciting, with many tempting dishes. The Tollemache Arms has a well deserved reputation around here for fine food and excelent beer.

We ensured a miserable meal at the Tollemache arms recently. Our main courses took almost one hour to appear (the restaurant wasn't even full) and when they arrived it was an insult to cuisine. The vegetarian dishes was devoid of any taste. The Risotto resembled Batchelor's savoury rice, but overcooked. Another vegetarian dish consisted of a soggy upside-down mushroom with a pile of overcooked mixed vegetables just thrown on top. The Tollemache knot (a sausage dish) was tough, over cooked and served with raw red onion gravy and a lumpy mustard mash. The pheasant was as dry as the sahara desert and showed now cooking skill whatsoever. The one hour wait was probably due to the chef extracting any taste and texture out of the "food" that was presented to us. If there had been anywhere else in the village that evening we would have walked out. Avoid.

Excellent country pub serving a selection of cask ales, lagers and cider, and a varied wine list serving an excellent selection of full-bodied reds, delicate whites and refreshing roses. The food is also top-draw, with a choice of bar meals and an a l'carte restaurant. Recently received 15/15 from the local pub / restaurant critic in the local area.
