About This Pub

Ah, Oblique – it's one of those places that just feels like a hidden gem in Northampton, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where they really shine; whether it's a hearty breakfast, some tasty Mediterranean fusion, or even their hoummus and chicken supreme that folks rave about, everything's made with real care and fresh ingredients that make each bite memorable. The atmosphere is spot on too – imagine settling in for a coffee or a cocktail in a space that's clean, cosy, and full of that good energy, especially with the staff going out of their way to make you feel welcome, like you're part of the family. On the flip side, it's not perfect; that glass of juice might leave you thinking it's a bit pricey for the size, and the varying opening times could catch you out if you're not planning ahead. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed meal or a catch-up with mates – I'd say give it a try if you're in the area, as the positives far outweigh the niggles, and you'll likely leave with a smile and a full belly.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with fresh ingredients and a great variety of options that cater to different tastes, including gluten-free choices – it's like a warm hug on a plate!
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, which really adds to the cosy atmosphere.
  • It's got a lovely vibe, perfect for everything from a relaxed breakfast to a lively evening out, and they serve cracking coffees, wines, and cocktails that hit the spot.
  • Value for money is spot on for most things, with generous portions and affordable prices that make it a go-to spot without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • One downside is that some drinks, like the juice, can feel a bit small for the price, which might leave you wanting more for what you're paying.
  • The operating hours can be a tad confusing with different schedules for cafe and bar times, so it's worth double-checking before you head out to avoid any disappointment.

My group of 6 turned up at 21.30 with no booking. The owner was so welcoming and helpful. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Mediterranean fusion menu was great. We all ordered something different and it was all extremely good. The wine was very nice and not expensive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

My friend and I always go for a coffee here which we love! However we had a breakfast today, it was delicious! Not too expensive either apart from the glass of juice which was too small for the price, but i will definitely be coming back here again. Place has a nice vibe, is clean and staff very nice, helpful and pleasant. One of the best cafe bars in Northampton.
