The Stirrup Cup in Kettering

You know, chatting about The Stirrup Cup feels like sharing a pint with mates – it's that sort of welcoming local gem in Barton Seagrave. The food really stands out; I've heard from folks who've raved about the home-cooked meals, like those hearty roasts on Sundays or the desserts that are simply to die for, all served up with big portions that leave you satisfied. The team behind the bar and in the kitchen are just lovely, going out of their way to make celebrations or casual visits special, as if you're part of the family. It's got this great family vibe too, with pool tables, board games, and regular events like music evenings or quizzes that keep things buzzing without being overwhelming. On the downside, it might hit the wallet a tad harder than your average pub grub, and if you're not in the area, it's a bit of a journey to get there. Plus, it can get quite lively on event nights, so you might end up queuing for a bit. All in all, it's a solid spot for good times and tasty bites, and I'd say it's well worth popping in if you're after that authentic pub atmosphere with a community twist.
