Old House Bar & Restaurant in Northampton

Ah, the Old House – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered chatting about it, the food really shines, especially those Sunday roasts that folks rave about; they're hearty, full of flavour, and presented with a bit of flair that makes the whole experience feel special. The staff are an absolute gem too, always on hand with a smile and quick to sort out any needs, whether it's for a gluten-free option or just making sure your group's sorted for a family outing. And let's not forget the vibe – it's clean, comfy, and they've got that bottomless brunch going on with great music and cocktails, which sounds like a fun way to spend a weekend. On the flip side, it's not all perfect; a couple of desserts have let the side down, like an apple crumble that didn't quite live up to expectations, and you might find yourself waiting a bit too long between courses, which can dampen the enthusiasm. Plus, while the decor's nice in spots, it could use a few more touches to make it feel even more inviting. Overall, it's a solid choice for a pint and a plate, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in Northampton – just go in with realistic hopes and you'll likely have a great time.
