About This Pub
You know, I had a right good time at The Priory the other day, and I'd say it's one of those pubs that really knows how to make you feel at home without any fuss. The food's a winner – everything from their carvery to those lemon meringue sundaes is just mouthwatering, and it's all at prices that won't break the bank, which is brilliant for a casual night out. The staff are an absolute gem; they're always cheerful and on the ball, like that chap Albert who's clearly putting in the effort to keep things running smoothly. It's got that traditional pub charm with nice lighting and plenty of seating options, making it great for everything from a quiet drink to a lively quiz evening with mates. On the flip side, it does get packed at times, especially midweek, so you might find yourself navigating a bit of a crowd or waiting if you pop in unannounced. Overall, though, it's a solid choice if you're in Wellingborough and fancy a place that's part of the community and doesn't take itself too seriously – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for a bite and a bevvy.

The pub's described as inexpensive, but if you're after something a tad more upscale or unique, it sticks to the traditional pub vibe without much flair to stand out.

Food is excellent value for money. Friendly staff, lovely surroundings inside. Is a private dining room for groups too. Variety of tables and booths. Subdued lighting.
I had a great time here. Albert is the GOAT!! I like the ketchup it tastes nice. Oh also the food is banging and the people very nice yes good place! This j20 is new and it tastes very nice.
We were staying at the nearby Travelodge and the staff there recommended The Priory. We visited on a Thursday evening when the venue is very busy with a popular Quiz Night. We ordered our food and drink through the table app. The service was super fast and very friendly. The meals were all excellent, good portion sizes and great value for money. We will be returning for a large family gathering for the Sunday carvery.
First time eating here.
Carvery was delicious.
The lemon meringue sundae was out of this world delicious. The ice cream is so creamy, everything complemented everything else beautifully.
Lots of care and effort I to the food. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Will definitely be back.
Thank you!
Would like to say a massive thank you and give recognition to Albert for his hard work. 👏🏻 Albert was extremely helpful and always happy even though he seemed to be doing more than one person's job! He was serving at the bar, welcoming and seating guests, as well as waiting on the tables! Also seeing to any customers that were asking questions or requesting additional items etc. He also took the time to check on us to make sure we were happy with our food and ask if we needed anything else. He then cleared our table for us so we weren't sat around dirty plates. A very friendly and polite hard worker who deserves recognition and rewarded!
