Lovely pub/restaurant in a lovely village. Used to go on Tuesday quiz night when Marky B was doing them. No longer doing quiz night, since before Covid.. BRING HIM BACK. Great staff, even better food... Can't wait to go again.

Having previously being quite impressed with the food, I was quite underwhelmed with the meals my wife and I had today. We ordered the beef burgers which really weren't worth the 14 each, served with chips which clearly had been cooked some time before and were dry and cold. Hopefully it was just a bad day but really not great.

Impressive venue.
Booking was easy. The website is superb and lets you know everything you need to know. We ordered our meals in advance as it was a large party. They cleverly spotted a small but important error in the order that I had made. Our welcome on the day was superb. Last minute, unforeseen changes due to illness were handled seamlessly. The best part was that the food was really excellent; decent quality ingredients very well prepared. Well done, and thank you, to Ben and the whole team.

First return after a long >2 year gap due to previous poor service and high pricing. This experience was excellent, starters & mains for 3 people all very good, tried the ox-cheek, lamb pie and slow-roast belly pork, wont tell you the best one as may not be any for me next time, . Can assure you ALL were very good, decent portions and value for money.
to the chef especially, service from staff was very good too.
Wont be long before we return again, well done all

Fantastic pub in rural Northamptonshire. Food was of excellent quality, as too was the service we received. Nice decor, felt clean inside. No sticky tables or floors which is always a good sign. Staff wearing masks
No ATM nearby so remember to get cash out before you come!

Just had a fabulous Sunday lunch with some friends. The Duke of Wellington came highly recommended so we thought we'd give it a try. Usually someone will recommend a place and when we go nine times out of ten we are disappointed, not this time though. Highly recommend the Sunday roast, we shared a mezze to start then three of us had roast beef and all the trimmings the fourth in our party had the pork. Absolutely delicious. From walking in, the greeting the surroundings all top notch, lovely service very attentive staff a delightful gem. We will be back to slowly work our way through the gorgeous
