About This Pub
Ah, The Cannon – it's one of those pubs that just warms your cockles from the moment you step inside. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant community feel, like it's the beating heart of Stopsley, with folks raving about the amazing pizzas, curries, and even a smashing afternoon tea that had me thinking it could rival a proper café. The staff sound like absolute gems, always on hand to make you feel welcome, and there's a cracking selection of drinks to choose from, whether you're after a cold lager or something a bit fancier. Pop out to the garden on a sunny day, and you'll find it's clean as a whistle with regular service to boot. But, let's keep it real, it's not without its quirks – no website means you might have to wing it on the hours, and with varying Sunday schedules, you could end up disappointed if you're not prepared. Plus, being unclaimed, it might lack that extra polish some places have. Still, with a solid 4.0 rating from plenty of happy visitors, I'd say it's well worth a punt for a good night out with friends, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Great to see a pub lively and the heart of the area again. The pizza was amazing and staff and owners made us feel welcome.
Heard good things so randomly went last night may 24
The double barrells know known as The Cannon, is clean, done up very nicely and has live sports lots of decent drink offerings and the imitable Dean Blackett playing tunes , everything top notch
We had tandoori chicken wings curried goat, pilau rice and garlic and coriander naan
Food wise it was in the top 3 curries I have ever had
Absolutely beautifully cooked
Everything about it was tasty fresh etc
The rice was almost fluffy
So it would have been 5 stars
When we ordered they advised the goat curry would take 45 minutes
Fair enough
The reality was 2 hours
This is unacceptable
But the food was that great I will return
Saturday night curry was amazing. Everything fresh and lovely. Then recently had mothers day afternoon tea. Table was laid lovely and then sandwiches cakes and scones were lovely too.
Pleasantly surprised. My local which I hadn't used before that was made to feel welcome by some excellent friendly staff and good beer. Will definitely be paying more visits soon. UPDATE The new landlady is awesome and is working hard to make this a family boozer. Great work 👍🏻 Apparently they will be getting an outside refresh and the name might be changing too?
Lovely pub relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming bar staff.
It was nice to see fully stocked fridges with a good selection of chilled ciders and lagers. Huge choice of spirits and beers.
Sat in the garden, which, might I add was very clean - bar staff came out to clear empty glasses regularly.
Food is fresh, made on the premises - very tasty burgers.
They have had a birthday party and several wakes held there, always handy to know.
In general the pub was very clean, and tidy, including the toilets!!!!!
