The Telegraph - Daventry

We visited the telegraph around september 2012 for sunday lunch and were very impressed with the food so decided to take the family there on christmas day a bit of a risk really as if the food had not been good would have blighted christmas , but need not have worried as the food was great we all had different dishes and every one was lovely ,the staff were very friendly and helpfull ,all in all will definatly be returning ,the cost per person was £55 ,half price for children under 12 and worth every penny have paid much more and enjoyed less in the past

Highly recommended! We came here for a joint birthday and Mothers Day celebration. Large group of 15 of us. Nothing was a problem to the amazing staff from moving the tables to suit us and our needs when it came to the menu. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived to the time we left. Food was amazing and service was excellent, great value for money! Thank you to all of the staff for making such a special day for the whole family :

Great pub with lovely, welcoming staff. We have come for many meals here since the new owner has taken over and wanted to try out the weekday lunch menu. It was a lovely meal and we will definitely be back!

We've had quite a few meals since my last review and whether it's Sunday roast or evening meals the food had always been excellent. All the staff are really friendly and the service is great, the new owner also makes everyone feel welcome and valued. Definitely recommend a visit and we will be continuing to eat here regularly.

No table reserved despite booking weeks ahead. Still got a table no problem but made us feel unwelcome since they treated us as if they just fitted us in. The menu choices looked good, hence our visit, however the prices were very high but we thought we would like to give one of our local restaurants a try... My friend had a roast dinner and was really looking forward to a nice sunday roast, unfortunately she was incredibly disappointed when the food came out. The parsnips and the stuffing were both raw. Looked as if they forgot to cook them! So i went to the bar to mention it and the response i got was we cook our food and then cook it again so i can assure you it is cooked . So much for the customer always being right. He hadn 't even checked it when he told me that, so i felt that was quite ignorant and rude. Granted they brought us another plate but by this time i had finished my food so it ruined the dining experience and felt they could have done something for us such as offer us a drink, or money off, or perhaps even an apology. We got none of the above. The staff kept whispering and looking over at us while we were eating which made us really uncomfortable. I got up to get another glass of coke and thought perhaps they would give me that for free. I was wrong. So much for the customer service. No-one came to check to see if the new plate was okay. We left after eating and didn 't even get a thanks, a sorry, or a goodbye! Truly awful customer service and massively overpriced for the experience we received. We will not ever be coming back, not even for a friendly drink as it seems the word friendly is lost at The Telegraph. I 'll be going to one of the better, more welcoming and friendly local pubs such as The Artichoke or The Cardigan Arms.
