The Pytchley Inn - Daventry

Pytchley Inn's staff are some of the most accommodating professionals I have come across. Natalie was superb in changing orders from sit-in to to-go, providing a table and free snacks to two travellers in a hurry. On top of that, they serve one of the tastiest liver pâté I have ever tried. Hand on heart.

Visited this evening alway loved the Pytchley, haven't been for a few years we hadn't booked but got a table in the bar, I had salmon husband had fish chips, both meals were lovely, but we wasn't asked it our food was ok, and our plates wasn't cleared so wasn't asked if we wanted a dessert, had to go to the bar to ask for our bill, staff seemed to be standing around and paracetamol was on the bar so maybe someone had a headache

Popped in for a steak, frankly the place is very tired, I get the traditional vibe. But something was off. Opted to get a starter before ordering mains due to some reservations about the food. Glad we did. The Camembert starter was shocking, salad looked about 3 weeks old, dry and leaves were tired and almost looked as if they’d been half eaten by slugs, with holes in. Safe to say we didn’t get as far as the mains. Such a shame as used to love coming to the pytchley for a good old fashioned meal. But something needs to change. Until then you’ll find us elsewhere.

I popped into the Pytchley for a Sunday evening impromptu dinner with my 17 year old daughter and her boyfriend. They were also kind enough to allow us to have a Pytchley fillet steak double and box one up for my father who has Parkinson’s and couldn’t get in today due to his mobility which really did make everyone’s day. The atmosphere in the bar is just to my taste warm and friendly with enough background music so there feels like a nice vibe. We had the steaks 6oz fillets an 8oz and the roast pork Sunday lunch all exceptionally cooked. The peppercorn sauce is that good you could eat it in everything. I literally licked the plate clean and didn’t even feel guilty about! The staff were very kind and thoughtful and I would like to thank Rachel, Joel and managers Nat Phoenix for looking after us and also going above and beyond and sorting the take away for my father. We LOVE THE PYTCHLEY 100% recommend for any occasion.

Shabby. Needs a major investment and upgrade. Food poor
