Reviews The Landford Poacher

YUM! Insert *satisfied emoji face* here! We travelled from Northampton to visit family. We needed an easy Sunday Roast, but we also wanted a carvery with choice and a warm and cosy atmosphere. We found more than we were looking for here!! Must Book in advance! It was HEAVING on arrival…. this was merely signs of a popular pub, and we were instantly greeted by the waitress whom was acknowledging everyone and everything, and making everything feel organised and equally relaxed. There was no rush, we had a chance to order drinks from the bar (we were offered to raise a tab or pay up front) and the Ale, Guiness and Rose wine were all fresh and crisp. The meat!….the softness, texture, juiciness and flavour was simply beautiful. My old man is a master butcher and this was a pleasure to see decent meat cooked properly!! The choice of vegetables was plentiful and spot on with plenty of green, orange and yellows! The Potatos were light, crisp and fluffy, the large Yorkshire melted in the mouth… Nothing was over salted or over seasoned and nothing was oily, fatty or greasy in anyway. I definitely made the most of my standard plate and some how managed to ‘double layer’ but this was definitely the first EVER carvery I actually managed to entirely demolish it all, and I’m only tiny! I’m so happy I had a chance to experience one of the best carvery’s… and despite the distance we plan to come back again and I can’t wait already!!! Oh and one last note… ‘The’ Bakewell Tart!!! Make some room, you must have it!!!

Enjoyed a lovely weeknight dinner and drinks here, staff were lovely and accommodated us and our young baby. Food was lovely and very generously portioned though a little heavy on the salt - in particular the lasagne was delicious and not too cloying. Sad we didn't have room for dessert!

Had a lovely carvery here great place to eat friendly staff would highly recommend.

First time here, Greeted by a very friendly member of staff who was so welcoming and chatted to the kids, they even said how lovely the lady was. Food was excellent, we were all very happy with our meals and all the staff were friendly, definitely coming back. Thank you.

We were desperate to find a place to have dinner and many places in the area were closing the kitchen. I called ahead to check if they were still serving dinner and they too said they were closing the kitchen in 5 minutes. The kind lady on the phone spoke to her manager and said if you can get here in 5 minutes we will keep the kitchen open for you. We were more than happy that they offered to seat us. We zoomed right over and they were more than gracious to serve us delicious food with warm hospitality and personality. All of our servers will great. Service with a smile throughout the evening and no feeling of rush to get us out. The food was absolutely delicious (whoever said British food is not good has never eaten here before). I highly recommend this restaurant, not only for their food but for their kind welcoming service. They definitely turned our night of desperation into a wonderful evening filled with great food and fond memories. Cheers to the entire staff for making this possible.
