Queen Eleanor in Northampton

Ah, the Queen Eleanor – it's one of those reliable spots in Northampton that you can always count on for a straightforward, enjoyable time. The food's a real highlight; think hearty, well-presented dishes that arrive hot and fresh, especially with those cracking deals like getting a big plate for just £10 – it's brilliant value and leaves you feeling satisfied without breaking the bank. The staff are absolute stars too, always polite and on point with service, whether it's refilling drinks or making families feel welcome with fun events like breakfast gatherings. It's got that down-to-earth charm that's ideal for a casual meal or a pint with mates, and the facilities make it easy to pop in and out. But, if I'm honest, the place does show its age a bit with tired furniture and decor that could use a spruce-up to keep things feeling fresh. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for anyone after good, honest pub fare and a warm atmosphere – I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area and fancy something unpretentious.
