Gongoozlers - Daventry

Visiting the Gongoozlers Rest to sit down with old friend for a hot cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich, after travelling more than 20 miles only to find, no indoor seating available, only wet, damp seating outside! This is not what I envisaged meeting up with an old friend after a long time. There was no indication on their website that indoor seating was not available. Highly disappointed.

This charming spot is a great choice for lunch. Situated by the canal with picnic tables and chairs, the friendly staff served delicious bloomer bread toasties with potato slices. The freshly baked bread and butter pudding with clotted cream was a real treat. Highly recommended, and a pleasant stroll around the marina is the perfect way to end your meal.

Fantastic experience and food. Friendly and enthusiastic staff, it was worth the 40 mile drive to go there. 3rd time we’ve been and does not disappoint. Food extremely well priced, not like some places that become well known and then increase prices exponentially, with big and tasty servings. Looking forward to going again soon.

I adore this restaurant - the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is so calming. We even spotted a robin and enjoyed the soothing sound of birds singing.

Over ten minutes for two cups of coffee, and the lady in charge unfortunately has no manners. Definitely giving this one a miss next time.
