Gordon Arms

The Gordon Arms pub/restaurant is a typical family-friendly establishment that is easily accessible from Oundle Road or the Parkway. It features two car parks, outdoor tables, a bar, pool table, and primarily functions as a restaurant. While there used to be a small play area for children and even a wacky warehouse upstairs in the past, those have since been removed due to multiple renovations and changes in ownership. Despite this, the restaurant remains family-friendly and offers an extensive kids menu. The food is average at best and the staff seem to struggle to keep up with the demand for their two for one offer. The menu consists of steaks, chicken, a few vegetarian options, and some lighter meals. Customers are required to take their table number to the till and pay before they eat. Overall, it is an affordable and welcoming place that is accommodating to families with children. The food may not be exceptional, but it offers a break from cooking at home.

I ordered a steak and cheese baguette, but it came out without any cheese or the fries that were supposed to come with it. After requesting the fries, they arrived looking like they had been sitting on the side for hours or been picked up off the floor. I never did receive the cheese for my baguette. My girlfriend ordered lasagne, which came out 15 minutes after my incomplete baguette, and was cold in some places and completely inedible. I'm not sure if the chefs were on strike that day, but we won't be returning. This experience was beyond appalling.
