    Food is normally excellent but I was really disappointed in calamari starter. Felt undercooked and not crispy. Not upto the usual standard. Chicken milanese was not as lovely as I have had before. Maybe just an off night? Service excellent and enjoyed the bubbles.

    We dropped in on the way home from the Christmas fixture at Northampton Saints, and can say that all the reviews we had read when booking rang 100% true. A wonderful old pub, with a terrific atmosphere. An excellent choice of real ales, wonderful food, and attentive service. We really have no need to look elsewhere when on the way home from Franklin's Gardens going forward having found The Red Lion.
