"I begrudge having to write this review, however I am appalled by the service (or lack of) from the red lion. I’ve tried to contact them several times and have been ignored, which is especially frustrating since the manger replied to a review a few days ago. We made a booking of 20+ for my partner’s birthday in June. Although the food was lovely, the service was not. Firstly, we were left waiting a while for the food even though it was preordered. Secondly, each person had to go to the bar to order drinks as staff did not take orders from the table even though it was on one tab. They were clearly understaffed on the night, considering the size of our party. Thirdly, there was an issue with the preorder of desserts and some people did not receive a dessert and were not informed until the rest of the group had theirs. The lady dealing with this was also quite rude and did not offer a resolution. Finally, there was a dispute about the bill and I’ve emailed the manager several times as some items cannot be attributed to anyone in the party but have not received a response. Emails were sent on 28/06, 03/07 and 15/07. It really is a shame as we’ve been here before and enjoyed the food, but it is safe to say that none of the party will be returning and the customer service received is unsatisfactory. Again, I would have been happy to resolve this but feel forced to write a review due to the lack of response."

Great Beer garden and dog friendly. Food is your everyday pug grub.

The sea food pasta was mainly pasta and tomato paste. So disappointing. Very little seafood. But the service was great

Haven't been in for years and we only live in West Haddon. On the whole it was a good lunch, service staff were polite and attentive. Food was very fresh and good portions, extra gravy came out for the roasts. Would definitely recommend.

Just stopped by for a quick drink after football training, but ended up staying for supper. Ceasar Salard was one of the best I've had and the kids portions were very generous. Also service was very professional and polite. Will definitely be back.

We’ve not eaten here for a while and fancied a change. It was a Saturday night and didn’t appear to be busy although there was a group in the private dinning area. The food when it arrived was lovely however it was clear that the team were short staffed as there was a 45min wait for starters from order. Staff did their best however I’d recommend employing more staff especially on busy evenings. View menu

Lovely old traditional pub with some period features. Nice bedroom but key thing was the food- absolutely spot on. The breakfast was huge and also truly delicious. Made to order which is definitely better than buffet in my books anyway. Nothing to fault on that front at all- for dinner had fish and chips which was really good and the dessert lived up to their claims of being very good as all made in house. Service with a smile. A great find and good value considering breakfast included which filled me up for most of the day!

Had a meal at The Red Lion …Saturday night only two tables being used the whole evening …staff friendly but slow …ordered our main meals …the Caesar Salad £14) a bowl of lettuce and grated cheese …no bacon no garlic croutons no anchovy and no avocado…got a small piece of chicken at an extra £2.50…the bacon arrived after we pointed this out to the waitress but nothing else obviously crotons too difficult for the chef ! Massaman Curry was nice …my husband ordered the pie of the day with chips …he got new potatoes ! Not a problem but not good service There was a man walking around talking to the staff we assumed he was the manager …at no point did he come to apologise or explain why the chef di...

"I had the pleasure of visiting La Terraza Tapas Bar in Upton with my kids, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was incredibly cozy and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a family outing. The friendly staff added to the welcoming atmosphere, making us feel right at home. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the tapas selection. The steak with chimichurri sauce was a burst of flavors that left us craving for more, and the Tempura prawns were simply delectable. It's clear that the chefs here take pride in their creations, as every dish we tried was a delightful journey for the taste buds. As a first-time visitor, I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience, and I can confidently say it won't be our last visit. While the prices leaned slightly towards the expensive side, the quality of the food and the cozy ambiance more than made up for it. La Terraza Tapas Bar strikes the perfect balance between a gourmet dining experience and a comfortable family outing. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant, which is always an important factor for me when choosing a place to dine. All in all, La Terraza Tapas Bar offers a fantastic option for a memorable lunch with family or friends. If you're looking for a place that combines delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and a touch of elegance, this is definitely a spot worth considering.

AKASAKA Japanese

AKASAKA Japanese

"I wondered why this restaurant described itself on the board outside as ‘fusion’, why there were so many Korean dishes on the menu and why the serving staff have heard of Asahi beer but haven’t heard of The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese daily newspaper that is at least 50 years old. The answer is that the Akasaka website isn’t being completely honest when it describes their Northampton branch as a Japanese restaurant. They aren’t really Japanese, although some of their menu items are clearly Japanese. Don’t let that put you off, however, as they are serving excellent food and we enjoyed our meal there very much. It cost us about £70 (inc. 10% tip) for our meal for two people including a 175ml glass of Sauvignon Blanc for my lovely wife and two 330ml bottles of Asahi Dry for me. The sushi was excellent, the edamame beans were great but we didn’t feel that the Dolsot Bibimbap (a Korean dish with loads of rice, some shredded vegetables, prawns and a fried egg on top) offered very good value for money at just under sixteen pounds. We would recommend Akasaka in Northampton and would certainly go there again, but if we want a genuinely Japanese meal, prepared and served by Japanese staff, then we will be sticking to Ginza Restaurant on Wellingborough Road in Northampton. Don’t like the way that the male members of staff at Sakura on Bridge Street speak to their female colleagues, very disrespectful, so we avoid that Japanese restaurant nowadays. Great to have a choice of three Japanese restaurants in Northampton post-pandemic, and our favourite of the three is Ginza."
