  “Lovely afternoon in the garden, food was great and the service was excellent. The waitress realised I was on my own my with 2 kids and took all my orders outside and kept checking on us, really appreciated this. Great kids play area. We’ll be back!”

  “We recently hired The Barn at The Sun for a wake. From start to finish Chantelle, Greta and the team were nothing but friendly and helpful and Chantelle's informative and sympathetic (given the occasion) emails were very much appreciated. We also underestimated the turnout and Greta was fantastic at sorting out more of the (very good) buffet on the spot. We had a lot of local guests saying 'Why have I never been here!?' plus a number from further afield who loved the pub. The Barn was tastefully decorated with fairy lights and the team had kindly arranged some framed photos of our deceased loved one, which we'd dropped off the night before, plus candles, around the venue. In a nutshell, lovely venue, great food and wonderful team. Thank you Chantelle and the Sun crew for making a sad occasion go so smoothly.”

  “We held my husband’s birthday celebration in the barn and outdoor seating area. The staff especially Chantelle, were helpful and happy to share their knowledge of organising events. The party went smoothly and everyone had a great time. The food was great and have the separate bar meant that people could get served quickly. Thank you!”

  “Came here for a quiet lunch and left genuinely smiling, largely down to our waitress Shenea. She was warm without being over the top, checked in at the right moments without hovering, and just had a way of making you feel looked after rather than processed. In a world of forgettable service, she’s the kind of person who makes a place worth coming back to. The food was great, but honestly she made the experience.”

  “Well what can I say this place is just amazing! Food was to die for and the staff were fabulous! Gretta and the team were second to none, attentive friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a voucher purchased at a charity night and everything was taken care of for us! So much to choose from on the menu and we certainly will be going back to try the roast too. We had the lamb and feta burger and the schnitzel. So thanks to Gretta and the team!”

  “We celebrated our elopement yesterday at the Sun (barn) and it was perfect. Communication throughout has been great, answering any queries and questions we had swiftly. The staff were fantastic on the day. Attentive throughout, but not intrusive. 19 people ate, and 19 people cleared their plates with 10/10 reviews across the group. Food was excellent quality and good value. This place is a little gem on the outskirts of Northampton. Really great for an intimate event. Already discussing how we could use it next. Thank you once again to the Sun for making it an extra special day.”

  “Me and my team met for a terrarium workshop (external deliverer) and The Sun Inn were so flexible and hospitable to enable us to do this in The Barn - it was beautifully festive and a perfect team building and wellbeing session, followed by a fabulous Christmas Fayre. Special thanks must go to Chantelle for being so accommodating and supportive of us as a Charity too. Great communication and understanding for our unusual request. The perfect venue for what we needed, amazing food and service too! Thank you.”

  “An impromptu visit for a Sunday roast today has left us very happy! We were greeted straight away and seen to a table even though we hadn’t booked. The waitress was attentive and friendly which made our visit even better. Our food was amazing- we had nibbles to start with which were delicious, followed by a Sunday roast where the meat was cooked to perfection, it was presented beautifully and everything on the plate had so much flavour. This is definitely a hidden gem in Northampton and we can’t wait to return. Thank you so much for making our day!”

  “We visited The Sun Inn for a meal and drinks on a Friday evening. We'd won a meal for 2 with wine voucher in a raffle so thought we'd have a bit of a date night. Unfortunately on arrival we discovered that we had booked our romantic night out on the same evening they were holding a Sixth Formers party. The pub was heaving and there was a band on. Thankfully as we'd pre-booked we were given a nice table in a cosy corner. But the band playing for the party were so loud we could hardly hear ourselves speak. Obviously this is not the fault of the pub, it's just unfortunate our romantic night out didn't work out as such. As the pub was so busy, service was quite slow.It was a good 15 minutes before someone took our drinks order and another 15 minutes before they were brought to our table. Food was also slow coming out but when it did it was very good. We ordered a portion of nachos to share as a starter and they were honestly the best nachos I've ever had. Fluffy but crunchy and absolutely loaded with toppings. It was then another long wait for our mains to come out. Again, worth it though as the food was delicious. My husband had a steak and I had swordfish. Both meals were cooked to perfection and very, very tasty. We didn't bother with desert as nothing really took our fancy so we asked for the bill. Overall we had a night out, some nice wine and some delicious food. We will definitely be returning, just hopefully on a quieter evening next time!”
