"The last time I visited here was for lunch before the latest refurb, so decided to visit again for an evening meal. We booked a table for 8pm on Saturday evening. On arrival it was busy at the bar and had to wait a while for someone to arrive to seat us at a table. The restaurant wasn't busy at all and had a choice of tables to sit at. We ordered drinks and the waitress was very pleasant, professional with a warm smile. We ordered one pate and a side bread to share between the three of us. It was plenty albeit the pate portion was on the small side. For mains two of us ordered the Forestiére Chicken Breast, stuffed with spinach mozzarella, wrapped in pancetta with a wild mushroom sauce served with spinach and fries. I oredered the Slow-cooked Pork Belly, with chive mash, green beans, apple sorbet, crackling and a red wine jus. The meals were delicious, hot, fresh tasting and just the correct portion sizes. For desserts we ordered a Vanilla Orange Crème Brûleé, served with home-baked shortbread biscuits. A Baked Orchard Tart with apples, blackberries and rhubarb baked in sweet pastry and vanilla sponge served with blackcurrant curd and custard. A latte just for myself. All desserts again were lovely and all finished. The meal came to just over £100, including 4 glasses of wine and a pint of shandy. No sneaky service charge which was a nice omission. Overall we enjoyed the evening in a really nicely decorated venue and friendly staff. It was really quiet for a Saturday evening but that could be due to the cost of living crisis starting to bite. We will be back!"

I used to visit this restaurant often, but I'm disappointed to say that the service has significantly declined.

This was once my go-to spot for business lunches, but the overall experience has declined recently because of unfriendly staff and a shortage of employees.

I recently visited this place and found the food to be delicious, with a wide variety of options. The pub itself is cozy and well-kept, exactly what you would expect from a pub.

Had meal there a few days ago and enjoyed. Today, No food being served unless you book on app. Tried on app and it says fully booked. Really? I think they were short staffed and used app to close out to food. Literally the place was empty. Disappointed. Next time just say short staffed

Fantastic food. Great service. Lovely country pub. Would 100% recommended making a visit to The Windhover. Such a lovely pub with wood fires and an all-round good atmosphere. Food selection is good, price is fair and quality is very good. We took our newborn daughter and the staff were also very accommodating. View menu

The windhover, Brampton Lane, Chapel Brampton, Northampton. This is a McManus pub, it’s very pleasing on the eye. It definitely looks the part. I feel like you need to drive here, as it’s a bit out of the way.. although it has a lot of passing traffic. This is a very dog friendly pub. Lots of dog biscuits and dog bowls of water are available. Which is why we visited here. I don’t think I’ll be a returning customer. The food was expensive, it was served quickly, but unfortunately it was very hot. The plate of food looked impressive. But the content wasn’t very good. Nobody came back to ask us if our food was ok. This place is great for sitting outside in the summer and having drinks. Not a ro...

Awful experience today. We came here for Sunday Dinner a couple of years ago and it wasn't good, food nor service, but having seen it had been refurbished and a new menu, we decided to try it again today for lunch and give it another go. Wish we hadn't. Artisan breads were completely stale. Got given more but were still stale, just hotter than the first lot where they'd been heated up. My husband ordered the pulled beef hash, which had literally about 3 strands of beef, the rest was just potato and egg. After complaining, we were told the chef said that was the right amount he'd given as they're limited on how much to give and need to portion it out. This meal was just under £9. My fish fing...

"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."
