Hops and Chops

Great food and great service. A definate recommend to anyone

Staff are very professional and very friendly. Great atmosphere. Amazing food.

Carbonara penne with wild mushroom and spinach was Amazing, great service, friendly knowledgeable staff.

Disappointed. Service, food and venue well below requirements. Arrogant Staff

I had tomapork, the chop was extremely fatty, I did mention it to the waitress who said the manager would come and see me and they didn’t, poor customer service.

Lovely food, friendly service, reasonably priced for the quality, we will come again.

Brilliant food as always and excellent service. Love it here x

Hops and Flops! We had been waiting to try Hops and Chops for sometime after having some great meals at The Smoke Pit in Northampton town centre. We decided to go today for a Sunday roast dinner. It's impossible to completely slate Hops and Chops, for starters, their selection of craft ales and gins was very good, similar to their sister venue in the town centre. In terms of taste, the food was also superb. But that's as far as this place goes, I can only imagine the owners of Hops and Chops invited residents of St. Crispin Village to help create their menu, as the portion sizes were embarrassingly minuscule! If the cuts of lamb were any thinner, they may as well have been purified. I ate the trio of meats at approx £18.00 and my friend had the roast pork belly at approx £15.00, My partner had a burger (which she said was okay). My main recommendation if you eat here is to avoid the trio of meats, for the higher price, you get a reduced amount of meat, It was glaringly obvious that in order to shave cost, they were shaving the meat! My friend who had the pork felt his portion was small and mentioned that the serving should have been on the menu as a taster, or a starter. We received half a bowl of vegetables between two, a Yorkshire pudding that would have been rejected by any regular Yorkshireman and gravy in a small ramekin as thin as dishwater. The real kicker was the carrots and parsnips, they tasted unreal, absolutely delicious, but you had less than a quarter of a standard carrot or parsnip sitting out your plate! We mentioned to the waitress at the end that the food didn't represent the price we paid, she just said she would pass the feedback to the chef, someone else came to collect payment. Approx £75 spent in total. We are now back at home cooking a second dinner, a real shame. We came from the other side of Northampton today, knowing that there were places on the way that served a fantastic roast dinner. Would not return, ever. Almost a scam.

This place has an OK menu with tasty food. The beef is good quality but overall was not blown away. Service is hit and miss, while prices are steep.

Staff were so lovely and the food was so high quality. Such talented chefs and front of house staff!

Fab food and great variety of gins. Staff also top notch

Service excellent, food great as ever. Next visit Sunday Lunch

I went for a birthday celebration. Food was really yummy. Service was very fast and friendly but music was too loud so we had to shout so I have sore throat now. 😂

Highly recommended although floor and table were a bit messy. Won’t stop me going back, though, as the food was amazing!

Great restaurant and food / drink with friendly service from all staff. Unfortunately a rather long wait for the food spoilt the top rating.

Serving staff very knowledgeable informative and helpful. the menu very easy to read and understand. food quality was excellent. Range of drinks good. The food quality was good but the food portion was poor eg half a carrot with the duck. The small sides were small!, Desserts at £7!! The quality was good and the plate design appealing but value for money very poor. Drinks prices on the high side. Would I go again? Probably not more likely to try Chef and Brewer or Miller and Carter based on a balance of quality and value for money.

Fabulous Sunday roasts. Highly recommend the pork belly. Friendly staff as usual. Lovely atmosphere.

we had no complaints about the food but service was appalling and we were constantly bombarded with questions about more drinks!!! It spolit the evening. Main course took over an hour and then we had to chase It was a birthday meal for two of our group and we felt disappointed

Delicious food and friendly staff, great little place which I recommend regularly.

We really enjoyed the food, nice atmosphere but although it was quiet service was a little slow.

Popped in for a quick lunch after a long dog walk, found us a table & had a lovely lunch. Thank you

Genuin friendly service, good food and wine. Simple on line booking.

Had a mixed roast so lamb, pork and beef. Couldn’t decide which was best as they were all exceptional. 7 year old had the kids steak meal and totally loved it. All things considered this is the best restaurant in Northampton!

Really disappointed- our table wasn’t ready when we got there. We were invited to have a drink at bar but too busy to serve us. Ordered steak (medium) arrived 45 minutes later rare and sitting in pool of blood. Waitress took orders back said she’s get her manager over we saw no one. By time we eventually got our food we were underwhelmed. We left knowing we won’t be returning. They were very but Service too slow

Again, most enjoyable evening. Good food which was server recommended. Beer excellent

Food was very yummy, friendly service, fast serving but music was too loud.

Perfect food as always, was a little slow coming out but the staff were brilliant and very friendly, couldn't do enough for us. Thank you!

Lovely staff and the food was amazing, massive portions ! Would definitely recommend

The food is absolutely stunning, always consistent and fresh. We go regularly

First visit and it was enjoyable. Will definitely go again.

Food was very tasty and staff nice but we did have to wait quite a while at our table until we were attended to. It was very noisy with tables very close together where we sat. Also young children in a family group were running up and down the seats at the back of the restaurant. Bad parents but staff should have intervened, as it spoilt other diners experience.

Excellent food. friendly staff. food perfect and atmosphere relaxed recommended

always a good meal . the kids love it too but even better for a date night

Great food, staff were all friendly and helpful and a great atmosphere

My 2nd visit to H&C and still continue to be impressed with the quality of the meat and wide selection of craft beer and gins. Reasonably price this should be in any meat lover’s bucket list. Tell ‘em Big Dave sent ‘ya. Oh and if you have room, the cheese board is a delight too.

The only downside tonight was the sticky toffee pudding.. it wasn’t very sticky & was incredibly hard. But the rest of our Food was amazing as always. After Eight Martini... on my. I will be back for another one of those..

Early Saturday night, quite busy but had the same great service as our previous visit. Th food was very good and the choice amazing. We took friends along and all agreed that we would return to try another mouth watering dish from the menu.

Excellent as always. Service is always spot on. Steak here is amazing.... great choice of specials and slot of new additions to the menu. One of our favourite restaurants

The service was Great and the food tasted good, although the food was a little slow coming out. Great experience overall, would definitely return here.

Brilliant Sunday lunch. Beef was perfectly cooked, great yorkies and really rich proper gravy. Service is always welcoming and friendly, great choice of beers available.

Food was slow, possibly because we didn’t all order Sunday roasts. Received the bill and then waited 10 mins for someone to take payment, (lots of people serving) went to the bar in the end to pay. Vegan burger looked like it had been cooked and then held for the rest of the food. Pork was over cooked and dry. Ordered Pichana steak medium rare, was ok but perhaps wait staff should have advised it was better cooked rare as majority of it was chewy (think Miller and Carter / Gauchos style of advice) as the diner would have had a better experience. Sunday roast was the pick of the bunch.

Lovely food!!! Excellent Service, great menu choices!! Was made to feel really welcome and the service was quick and helpful. I had a fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection!!!

Great meal as always, well worth the money. Will return again

Great food, service and atmosphere. Large craft beer selection, will visit again when not driving. A bit of a hidden gem. Oh and try the Rice Pudding.... Its amazing!!!!

Amazing food and service as usual, the only reason I didn’t rate it a 6 is because the fries weren’t “skin on fries” as advertised

The food was amazing I had the hanger steak. Really helpful with allergies. Extensive gin menu Attentive service really good for offering suggestions. Lovely atmosphere

The service was brilliant and the staff are all really attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Food is just fabulous and they have a huge gin selection. Will definitely be returning! Thank you

Amazing food, lovely friendly staff and what can I say I keep coming back time and time again, get the burnt onion sauce and the charred baby gem you will thank me x

Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere! Loads of beers and loads of great steak.

Slightly Disappointing after a first brilliant visit the second visit with friends was not quite to good the food was still good but not very hot The staff too busy to be attentive Far too noisy as lots of big party groups so 4 of us couldn't hear ourselves speak would be helpful to put smaller groups in one area on their own - would not go as just a couple
