Queens Head - East Northamptonshire

We came to Nassington to collect something my wife had bought online and figured, while we were here, we would try it for a late lunch. I went to check if they allowed dogs (we have 2, beagle and shihtsu and were still serving; as soon as I walked in the door it felt warm and welcoming. There were quite a few folks in but it was genial rather than crowded, and the music was actually background rather than live gig level (a rarity these days, it would seem , so also seeing the cosy fire and the water bowl for dogs made our decision inevitable. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and efficient, and our order was taken quickly for a shared Camembert to start then beef sirloin and pork belly mains which didn't take long to arrive and, when they did, what a treat! Quite the best Sunday dinners we've had in a long time, with top notch roasties, beautifully done roast carrots parsnips and a scrumptious cauliflower cheese. For me, if the food is good enough the only accompaniment should be an optional twinkle of salt pepper and so it was here; all was cooked to perfection with excellent flavour and any additions would have spoiled it. They only had two ales on the pump and one was GK IPA (I never touch it but luckily they had a fine local Nene Valley Brewery session blonde which went very well with my meal. The doglets settled in very quickly, which is always a good measure of the ambience, so all in all this was a brilliant spur of the moment choice. We will definitely be back and I would heartily recommend it to anyone who likes a traditional local pub with atmosphere and excellent food well, who doesn't? :

As a resident of the locality we do tend to eat at this hotel now and again. We have never had anything other that a very tasty freshly prepared meal in a nice country pub type environment. Staff are friendly service is good and portions plentiful.

We booked on a deal scouting for a place to stay for our small ramble group of 12 Lovely village quaint old pub which is far better than the impression the frontage gives Rooms are small cottages around the car park which leads down to the riverside so very scenic surprisingly tranquil Rooms are fine, beds cosy comfy they were just delivering 55 inch plasma TV's as we left! Excellent food in the restaurant, good choice sensibly priced but most of all very well cooked The staff were extremely pleasant helpful especially mentioning Amy, Chris, Veronique Shaun the breakfast chef fantastic poached eggs Even the chambermaid was cheerful made sure we had all we needed Great location for walks around the Nene Valley the weather was amazing for early April I hope to persuade our Ramble Group to visit but not at weekends because I guess the Queens Head had a thriving wedding business

Warm welcome on arrival, excellent evening meal cooked by the man himself Paul chefs evening off. Good nights sleep in a very comfortable room. Lovely cooked breakfast which one could not fault. Great stopover before we travelled to Crete.

The restaurant is located in a charming and peaceful village. It overlooks a picturesque river. There is parking right outside the room. The room was large and clean, though the bathroom could use some updating. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very welcoming. The only downside was that there was a wedding happening during our stay, which we were not informed about when booking. This made it difficult to enjoy a meal or a drink at the bar, so we ended up going elsewhere for dinner.
