Very quiet place tucked away from view. Food was good and staff very friendly. Had a Groupon deal panini and drink for 2for £7 well worth it

We enjoyed a friendly welcome at lunchtime and were also treated to a 'guided tour ' of the rest of the building, comprising theatres and dance floors and performance spaces. What a gem of a place, so well converted from the old buildings that once stood here. We each ordered a pie with mash and peas. Served hot and with unusual black cutlery. The pastry on both pies was rather hard but everything else was perfect real mash too!

The platform cafe is a lovely little cafe in Northampton town centre. It is a very quiet cafe however, it has lovely food and a good selection of drinks. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful and I can say I will be going back for lunch again as the prices are reasonable and I had a good experience.

I went to this café with some friends for coffee and cake. The café has a lovely atmosphere, with friendly staff and is reasonably priced. They also offer vegan options. It's a bit hidden from the main road, but definitely worth a visit for a peaceful coffee experience.

I recently discovered The Platform in the heart of town and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant has a charming, laid-back vibe with incredibly friendly staff. The food and drinks are priced competitively and are of excellent quality, beautifully presented. They also have meal deals that make prices even more affordable. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back for another visit. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!
