Was joined today by “er indoors” for the Unlimited breakfast. Funny smell as you arrive, but was seated quickly and it was warm and clean. Our order was taken at the table and I asked if the toast came with the food, but you have to toast the bread yourself, which is laid out by the continental selection. The unlimited breakfast allows you to this selection also. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal and pastries available which looked nice. Lots of choice for jams, marmalade , marmite and chocolate spreads. Muffins, pancakes and croissants part of the continental. Help yourself to tea and coffee. The coffee not good quality but pg tips available for tea drinkers. So I ordered sausage, bacon, hash brown, beans & 2 fried eggs. The mrs had the same but asked for well cooked fresh tomatoes. Having to do your own toast is a guessing game for the timing if your food coming out, so a heads up would be good as we ended up with cold toast. Noticed straight away a lot of kids in the restaurant and they wandering around in the service area grabbing muffins and pancakes. We saw 3 families, and all the kids hardly ate any of their cooked breakfast, but were allowed to go and get more muffins and juice, which again none of them hardly ate. If the kids eat for free option wasn’t available they wouldn’t be wasting food like we witnessed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great for families but don’t let your kids waste food. Our breakfast arrive, and my mrs wasn’t happy as the tomatoes were practically raw. The fried eggs were like rubber discs, the bacon not much flavour and the sausages not very good quality. The hash browns and beans good though. They say unlimited breakfast but they don’t come and promote this or come and ask if you want more. I had to go and ask as I wanted to order more bacon and sausage. When that came I then had to ask for cutlery. The cost is £9.99 kids eat free. Food not great, service is poor and too many kids. If you want a quiet breakfast not the place to come. For families it is worth the money, but keep control of your children. Poor outing for “er indoors” and the view from the mouth from the south is…….”not worth getting out of bed for”.

Sits in a corner away from the premier inn sharing plenty of free parking . Had a lovely meal all served well presented,hot and in a timely manner, a special mention to Olivier whom was very nice,polite and attentive at all times. On other subjects , didn’t come across as very large and noted the bar area wasn’t that big also found the decor wasn’t either modern nor traditional just somewhere in between. In general , a pleasing visit with menus to suit all tastes with a decent priced daytime one which offers good value.

Decent pub grub in the outskirtsish of Wellingborough. Service staff were very attentive and on the ball all night, adding to the positive experience. Prices are good and if you have the Beefeater card you can get some cool deals. Had the mixed grill and the fam had burgers. Happy with the food.
