"After looking forward to Christmas lunch for months and inviting 30+ members of family to what I understood was a well respected establishment I have left with a bad taste in my mouth (and that 's not from the inadequacy of the food on offer). Paying £65 for Christmas Dinner I would have expected a luxury experience but this sadly was not the case. On arrival we were hearded in to a crowding dining hall like farmed cattle. After sitting down at the table I was served a lentil soup that had been left sat in the kitchen since the beatles were in the charts! Cold is an understatement. Shortly after this initial debacle, several members of our party left before even enjoying the overcooked beef that was on offer after queuing for the buffet for 35 minutes. I did however decide to stay and sample the carvery but did find that said beef was tougher than a sudoko puzzle after 18 pints! The turkey was tasty however so must give marks for this. The vegetables were wattery and had a distinct lack of seasoning and the Yorkshire puddings were drier than a Saharan summer. The hall had a star performer from the classic children 's TV Programme The Singing Kettle which was clearly well organised but the decibel levels were astronomical! Screaming at my young son from 3ft away isn 't my idea of a Christmas to remember! There was also an elderly lady who had felt unwell and vomited outside the front door where the smokers were standing. I did see a member of staff notified of this incident so I had assumed that this unfortunate mess would have been swiftly cleared but after several hours I returned to the scene to find the solidified vomit remained. It reminded me of the beef. The wine on sale at the bar was watered down, the draught lager was underwhelming and the staff in the dining hall (no fault of their own and absolutely not a responsibility they should have to burden) were noticeably untrained. Not to mention the lack of direction from any members of management. In 31 years of dining out for Christmas lunch (Covid being the only exception) this was, by some distance, the worst meal experience to date. I now have to explain to my distant family members, who have travelled from as far as Montevideo in Uruguay, that this isn 't the experience I had in mind when I asked them to make the journey. Hopefully any guests unfortunate enough to have booked for next year already are treated to a far better experience. If you plan to make no improvements to the event, I 'd send them to a soup kitchen instead. P.S. here is a photo of the dust on my fingers when I ran my hand along the wall beside my table. The lack of care for what should be such a magical day is upsetting and I will be contacting the health board about the asbestos infused environment I was forced to consume my food in. Merry Christmas"

"We visited Foodies.Rock for the second time on Friday night April 2018 prior to a show at Royal and Derngate and cannot compliment them enough!!! Both times we have been we have thoroughly enjoyed our food and recommended them to anyone who will listen! Their stripped back furnishings are a little quirky, and their toilets are basic but their food and hospitality make up for that and more!! My husband and I very much enjoy trying new foods and absolutely love the tapas style menu where food comes out at different times and in smaller portions where you get a sample of it all. As it is street food from around the world it may require the average restaurant goer to step out of their comfort zone and try something new but I can assure you it will be WELL WORTH IT! We were advised to have 2-3 portions per person so we opted for three each and left with full bellies! Our favourites were the Korean bbq chicken, cassava chips and pork gyoza and in our opinion were all reasonably priced! Prior to coming in on Friday, I’d taken some time to read some of the reviews on TA and FB, and throughout my visit I noted that the staff and management have very much taken feedback on board and actually had made changes where appropriate, which to me speaks volumes about a restaurant! This is a gem in Northampton, perfect for a pre theatre dinner date, and yet remain modest in their approach! They deserve to be praised and supported for bringing something so new and refreshing to the local community! If you are reading this because you are considering it, just go, you won’t truly know until you try! I for one am already looking forward to my next visit!!!"
