The Windhover - Daventry

I asked if it was okay to leave my car in the car park as I was cycling the Brampton Valley Way and returning for a late lunch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. When we returned at 2:30pm, we were simply told to take a seat and order at the bar. Unfortunately, we were not given menus, so we had to return to the bar to collect them. The food arrived quickly, and we enjoyed our two courses from the lunch offer. However, after we finished eating, we waited for our plates to be cleared and asked if we wanted anything else, but no one came to check on us. We were planning to order hot chocolates, but we couldn't wait any longer. When I went to pay at the bar, no one asked if we enjoyed our meal or if everything was okay. Because of this lack of attention, I did not leave a tip. It was disappointing to see that the staff either lacked training or simply didn't care.

During our last visit, we encountered several problems, but tonight everything went smoothly. Despite being 'out' of several items, it didn't impact our selections. All of our meals were delicious. The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. While it was a bit pricey, that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays.

Came across this pub after a walk round Brixworth Country Park. Very nice pub too. We sat in the garden with our dog. Dogs are also allowed in the bar area of the pub. Food was really good. Would definitely visit again if in the area. Would recommend.

Nice friendly staff, attentive. Maybe more choice of non alcoholic beers. Food nicely presented, but have always found for me anyway) roast dinners always far too much food. My partner said the best tasting sea bass he had ever had. Such a great idea mini desserts with a coffee or drink of your choice. Always had a lovely meal at The Windhover. Thank you

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 rovers return for us.
