Again.... another great night! I am not sure my wife and I can fault this place. Just hope it’s as good the next time we’re in Northampton. Keep doing what you’re doing! #cowpigchicken

Food was amazing and service started off brilliantly until we were either going to have a dessert or get the bill and the girl serving didn’t come back to us and kept ignoring our table. We ended up getting a different waitresses attention and decided to pay instead of have dessert. Other than this, it was really good and I will definitely be back

Amazing food, and they accommodated us even though we were 30mins late and at closing time. Highly recommend the smoked lamb ribs, but everything looked so good I asked the wife if we could come back tomorrow.

Service was slow. Had Phat Platter. Meat skewer was a little tasteless and chewy, but everything else was ok. Food is on the pricey side.

We arrived at the restaurant at half seven and did not eat till ten after being told that there was only a 45 minute wait for food. People were arriving after us and had there food delivered to their table before we did. Not a good service that night

Great food, great atmosphere and fast, friendly service. Booking process was easy to follow, table ready on arrival and location. We took advantage of the all you can eat ribs and chicken, they say all you can eat but in reality there is so much on the 1st plate you won't make it onto a 2nd.

Cocktails were amazing - especially the CoronaRita! We had nachos to share for starters - very large for two but very delicious! Cheesy marmite fries were a must order side!

Great atmosphere and huge portions - be warned... go easy on the starters. Closest equivalent to an American steak restaurant that I’ve visited outside of New York. Good quality steaks and cooked properly - tender and no ‘dodgy bits’. The sides were excellent. The unlimited soft drinks bar is good for the designated driver and a good range of beers, etc. for everyone else in your party.

Even though we had booked there was a wait of 20 mins to be seated and then a further 40 ish mins for the food to come. My steak was delicious but my partners was slightly fatty. Service was very friendly

Unlimited wings were amazing. 12 per platter and we had 2 lots for £21.99. Amazing quality and flavour. This is one of my favourite restaurants in Northampton and now I have converted another friend.

Ordered drinks that after 20 mins still hadnt arrived, repeatedly had to ask for them to actually get them. Steaks were expensive, not cooked to how asked and were also really tough. Luke Headrun

Food was amazing. Staff were friendly. After we finished our main meal we were left sitting there for about half an hour with no drinks, no offer for desert, no one came to check on us. It wasn’t busy and there was staff walking about even around where we were sitting and we seemed to get totally ignored.

3 of us shared a starter for 2 ...we hadn't visited before but I knew portion sizes were generous...and I'm glad we didn't get a starter each as we all struggled to get through our Main courses....We had a bit of a wait but it does state that on the menu if it's busy it may be a while...and the waiting staff also let us know...but to be honest a breather inbetween courses is no bad thing.Food is plentiful, flavoursome and filling..plenty of honest Tucker for your bucks.Atmosphere was loud and bustling.No formalities,very casual and comfortable..Just folk enjoying good food in good company.

The staff were really friendly and helpful for the indecisive. The atmospehe, decor and general vibe was great, it was a proper cool place to eat. It is a little pricey though, hence the 5 not 6.
