About This Pub
Oh, let me tell you about The Old Market Inn – it's one of those places that just warms you up from the moment you step inside. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the Sunday roasts are something special; people rave about the beef that's cooked to perfection and those roast potatoes that are just the right mix of crispy outside and fluffy inside. It's not just the food either – the staff sound like absolute gems, always polite and on point, making sure everything runs smoothly whether you're there for brunch or a full dinner. The atmosphere seems spot on for a good chinwag with friends or family, and it's all at prices that feel fair without skimping on quality. But, to be fair, I've got to mention that the hours can be a tad early, so if you're after a proper evening out that stretches into the night, you might find yourself heading home sooner than you'd like. Plus, with no fresh reviews lately, it's a bit of a mystery if it's still hitting the same high notes, but based on the glowing feedback, I'd say it's worth a visit for a solid, no-fuss pub experience in Kettering.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The food is an absolute delight, especially their Sunday roasts – think melt-in-the-mouth beef and perfectly crispy potatoes that hit the spot every time.
-
The staff are so friendly and attentive; they really make you feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or a full meal.
-
It's got a lovely atmosphere that's perfect for families, groups of mates, or even a casual catch-up, with drinks flowing nicely and a welcoming vibe.
-
Prices are spot on – fairly reasonable for the quality, so you won't break the bank for a great meal and a pint.
Cons
-
The operating hours can be a bit confusing with varying closing times listed, and they tend to wrap up early around 5 or 6 PM, which might not suit those after a late-night session.
-
There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, so it's hard to say if things have stayed as brilliant as the older feedback suggests – always worth checking before you go.
-
With only a handful of reviews available for a closer look, it might not give the full picture, even though the overall rating is high.

We popped in for a roast today, the beef was cooked to perfection, it melts in your mouth. The roast potatoes are the perfect combination of crispy and fluffy. The whole meal was beautiful! Hats off to the chef. I would definitely recommend.
Just had a smashing Sunday lunch at the Market Inn. Food was plentiful, the beef was melt in the mouth.
Service was excellent with very polite bar and table service.
First time I have visited but definitely won't be the last..
Came for Sunday dinner today and the food was amazing as always! I would say the best Sunday dinner going! Service is incredible as well - really friendly staff
Some family members and I had brunch on a Friday evening. It was outstanding. The food was outstanding and the drinks were flowing. Our server Millie made the whole experience exceptional and I cannot thank her enough for her care and attention.
This is easily my favorite place in Kettering to eat! I've been here as a family, with my friends and with my children, the food is always great, the staff are super friendly and the food is so fairly priced. I've been lucky enough to bottemless brunch here and it's such a great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, and loads of special themed events. It's the perfect place for a celebration or a quiet lunch and that's an impressive feat to be honest.
If I could give it more than 5 * I would.
