About This Pub
Ah, Brampton Halt, what a lovely spot it is! Tucked away in the picturesque Northamptonshire countryside, this pub feels like a breath of fresh air, especially with its outdoor seating by the pond – imagine sipping a pint while watching the world go by on a sunny day. The team there are just top-notch; they're so attentive and make you feel right at home, whether it's your first visit or you're popping in for a regular catch-up. The food's generally a winner too, with generous portions of classics like roasts and breakfasts that hit the spot, and they've got a cracking selection of real ales and wines to pair with it all. It's clear from the buzz around the place that folks love the historical charm and the way it's been modernised without losing that authentic pub feel. On the flip side, though, not every dish is a home run – I heard one person say their noodle dish was a tad too sweet, and if you're after something specific like Guinness zero, you might be out of luck. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a meal out or a casual drink; you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time, but it's worth keeping those little niggles in mind for the full picture.

Quaint pub you could easily drive pass, but don't Lots of outdoor seating and pond Staff work hard to look after you. 4 star for food because my noodle dish was sweet, and the mango desert was OK Good selection of wines and beers.
We had 2 three meat roast dinners, food was a good quality, served in decent time by friendly staff. A hearty fill on each plate too. The only negative for me was no Guinness zero available. Nice walk with the dogs around the pond area at the bottom capped off a nice afternoon fill
This was my first visit and I had a lovely breakfast. I had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Royale and my friend had the breakfast sandwich. There was a generous amount of salmon, the sauce was lovely and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed it. I also had a pot of tea which gave me about 3 cups worth, and was served with milk, sugar, and a lotus biscoff biscuit. My total bill was £16.30 which I thought was reasonable. My friend's sandwich was huge for the £8 price and she said everything in it was great. Will definitely be back for breakfast and perhaps also to try their main dinner menu
It was my 77th birthday and we were made to feel as if we were the only people in the restaurant that mattered. The staff were so good at what they do and really attentive. Despite it being a busy night for them, they managed to get around to everyone and serve them with their meals. Absolutely fantastic. I asked my husband to go and thank the Chef personally for the wonderful food that we had. All three of us had different meals and they were all top draw. Thank you again for making my birthday so special. On top of which, when the deserts came out, mine had a personalised message and a candle. You all made me feel like I was a young girl again. A very special mention for Louise who really did make my experience memorable. Thank you.
Stayed at the nearby hotel and decided to eat out and found here. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It had a good selection on the menu and the food was really good portion sizes and tasty.
