Olde England in Northampton

Ah, Olde England – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles the moment you step inside. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food's a real highlight; folks are raving about the Sunday roasts and other homemade treats that are spot-on and generously portioned, especially with extras like gravy on tap. Pair that with a fantastic range of real ales that keep things interesting and won't dent your wallet, and you've got a winner for a laid-back evening. The staff really shine too – they're friendly, attentive, and add that extra touch of personality with a good chat or a cheeky pun. Plus, the place has this lovely rustic charm, with events like folk music or history talks that make it feel alive and community-oriented. On the flip side, though, the opening hours do seem a tad messy, with conflicting times and it being shut one day a week, so you might need to plan ahead to avoid disappointment. And let's not forget, their online presence is a bit wonky, which could make checking for updates a hassle. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after an authentic pub experience with heart, but it might not be ideal for those wanting something more consistent or flashy. I'd say give it a go if you're in Northampton – you might just find your new favourite spot!
