Popular pub just outside of the centre, it’s only a 5 minute walk. There is a good selection of local beers, it acts as the Brewery tap for Great Oakley, it retains a good pubby atmosphere and manages to avoid the circuit pub syndrome. Lots of choice and lots going on. Saturday afternoon is a good time to visit when supporters of visiting sports teams are around, buzzing.

I frequently drop into this pub after visiting my sister who lives locally.. In terms of cellarmanship, I would say that it can not be beaten. So many pubs with half the number of ales on offer can’t turn them over swiftly enough to guarentee quality. I never feel that I am taking a gamble when I order any pint here. This pub alone makes Northampton a worthwhile drinking destination. Unlike many ’scoopers’ pubs it’s spotlessly clean and comfortable in all respects (so WAGs are unlikely to object).
