I graduated from the Royal Derngate theatre yesterday and was having trouble organizing the day for my elderly parents. The staff at John Franklin's went above and beyond to help out. They took care of my parents while I ran around getting everything ready. When I returned, my parents were well-fed and happy, ready for the ceremony. The staff made sure they were comfortable and I am very grateful for their assistance... View all feedback.
What JaneMay dislikes about John Franklin's:
Very laid back and friendly service. We had a pizza and the mixed plate of the day. The pizza was excellent. The mixed plate was different to the one advertised, but several cheeses, two cooked meats, chutney and bread and cheese biscuits made a plateful. Very busy and we went early as it was a pre-theatre trip for us, so we could just walk through to the theatre. View all feedback.
I am so impressed with this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend trying the seafood pasta, it was out of this world. The atmosphere is also very charming and cozy. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.
Dreadful place, very grubby looking and toilets absolutely filthy. Food completely overpriced and underwhelming, service surly and everything too much trouble. Toasted sandwich huge chunk of bread, hardly any filling, sausage roll served half cold when requested hot, tiny portions of cheese and meat on £9 platter. Will never return.

I visited this restaurant before going to the theatre and it was quite crowded. The cheese was delicious, but only having one cracker per cheese, along with grapes and no chutney, felt lacking and not worth the price. My partner enjoyed their pizza. However, if they plan on serving cocktails, they should have more staff as the wait was quite long. Overall, the experience was almost fantastic.
