About This Pub

Ah, The Princess Alexandra – it's one of those hidden gems you stumble upon and end up raving about to your mates. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with its massive range of craft beers and ales from all over, giving you plenty of options to explore without breaking the bank at a moderate price point. The food's another highlight; folks are going on about the pizzas and sides being delicious and a step up from the usual, making it a solid choice for a bite alongside your drink. The team's spot on too, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which adds to that cosy, welcoming feel that's perfect for a laid-back evening or even hosting a get-together in their function room. On the flip side, it can be a tad frustrating if you're keen on popping in earlier in the day, as the hours don't kick off until the afternoon on most days, and if craft brews aren't your thing, you might find it a bit niche compared to your average local. All in all, it's a fantastic spot for beer enthusiasts, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in Northampton – just plan around those opening times for the best experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The selection of craft beers, ciders, and cask ales is absolutely brilliant – there's something for every taste, and you can even try before you buy.
  • The atmosphere is so cosy and welcoming, with a quirky vibe that makes you feel right at home, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The food's a real winner, especially those pizzas – they're packed with flavour and way better than anything from the big chains.
  • The staff are top-notch, always attentive and helpful, and they've got some great events like festivals and charity dos that add a fun twist.
Cons
  • The opening hours can be a bit limited on weekdays, starting from mid-afternoon, so it's not ideal if you're after a spot for lunch or an early pint.
  • While the drinks and food get rave reviews, it might not suit everyone if you're looking for a more traditional pub feel rather than a craft beer focus.

Nice little craft bar with a good selection of craft ales, saw food being delivered and to be fair it looked okay. Attentive bar staff that let you try before you buy. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a great selection of drinks and some fun pizza flavours, the pizzas and sides were delicious. Would come here for pizzas over a chain pizza place from now on. After visiting I chose to hold a charity event here in their function room and it was brilliant. Dylan and the team were incredibly helpful with organising it and on the night the quality of food, drink, and service were second to none. Highly recommend here for a small event 🙂

A hidden gem. While not my local I’ll always make sure to stop off at this establishment. Great and attentive team. Events such as the sausage & cider festival. Keep up the good work guys.

It's absolutely amazing. We had the Monday pizza deal, and we were astonished at how good they were. We shared 2 pizzas and a side between 3 of us and loved every bite. The drinks were amazing, and cocktails were very well made and presented, too. The atmosphere was cosy and warm, and the log burner made us feel really comfy. I'm definitely returning!
