New Inn Abthorpe

Great pub, great people, great location. We were out for a group motorcycle ride along Northamptonshire's byways. Called in on the way home. The beer is first class. We only had the one as we were riding. However, we will be back with a view to having a meal as the pub has a good reputation for its ale and food.

Very enjoyable first experience at this popular village pub. Staff were very accommodating. The fish and chips halibut were very tasty. Look forward to returning there.

We came and had the most wonderful Sunday lunch ever!!! The service and warmth from the staff were top notch and the food was plentiful and beautiful.the only thing I would say but it's my preference is I like my roasties done crispy on the outside but they were still lovely thankyou everyone for looking after us and for making our Sunday lunch a wonderful time with our friends and family get together.

A warm welcome, friendly and attentive staff. Perhaps not the easiest of places to find, even if you do know your way around as it 's hidden away in a quiet back street in an already quiet village location. We were quickly seated on arrival and drinks soon sorted. An adequate choice on the Sunday Lunch menu, including traditional Sunday Roasts and pub classics. Vegan and vegetarian options. A nice touch that although my wife chose a main that was shown as vegan on the menu, they thoughtfully asked if she was indeed vegan (or vegetarian) before the food arrived so as to tailor accompanying veg/roasties/yorkshire pud accordingly. Starters, mains and desserts were all simply presented, without excessively flamboyant garnishes etc but that 's no criticism, just an observation the food itself was very good indeed. Really enjoyed our starter roasted asparagus with garlic mushrooms. Only minor criticism being that one of the sides (cauliflower cheese) was a bit over browned. Swiftly noted by server and a replacement offered (but declined it really was no big deal). I had the classic beer batter fish with chunky chips. Menu said mushy peas but regular petit pois were served. Superb chunky chips and chef really nailed that beer batter (apparently using Hooky ale seems to work well at any rate delightfully light batter with no soggy bits or over hard bits either). Generous portions all round, so both of us elected to leave a little room for our desserts We both enjoyed our meal and will doubtless be back at some point in the near future.

We were told about this place when we stayed in a local Airbnb and it did not disappoint. The staff, and indeed the local clientele, were all very friendly and welcoming when we first arrived. It is a nice, busy little pub tucked away in lovely little village. The landlord was particularly friendly and we had a lovely chat about our stay and how they had managed the pandemic and were doing well. The food was very tasty, as shown by the number of bookings he had in, with the roast dinners particularly prevalent. We had walked for about an hour and a half to get to this pub and after a 'few ' beers and the meal we were not too keen to walk back, so the landlord was very helpful in securing us a taxi home. Very grateful. Would highly recommend if you 're in the area.
