Friendly pub restaurant in Northampton

Culinarily, the restaurant particularly shines with its carvery—a traditional British roast offering available daily. Here, the meat, including juicy beef, tender turkey, or hearty gammon, is slow-cooked for over 14 hours before being freshly carved in front of the guests. Accompanied by crispy roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and a selection of seasonal vegetables, the dish becomes a true comfort food. In addition to the carvery, the Poppy Field Farm impresses with classics such as the "British Beef & Ale Pie," a savory pastry dish filled with tender beef and a rich beer sauce, perfectly capturing British pub culture. For a sweet finale, the homemade cakes, such as the "Bumble Berry Cake," a fruity creation baked fresh daily by the so-called “Cake-a-tiers,” are enticing.

Carvery with local ingredients

The ambiance at Poppy Field Farm is typical for a Farmhouse Inn: rustic, cozy, and family-oriented. The decor combines dark wood tones with warm lighting, creating an inviting mood, while a separate play area for children ensures that parents can enjoy their meals in peace. Especially on warm days, the spacious outdoor terrace invites guests to dine al fresco. The open kitchen allows a glimpse into the preparation process, enhancing trust in the freshness of the dishes. The atmosphere is lively but not overcrowded, and the restaurant offers amenities such as high chairs and Wi-Fi to increase comfort for all guests.

Family-friendly restaurant with play area

Service is often described as friendly and attentive, with staff keen to make the visit as pleasant as possible. The Poppy Field Farm places great emphasis on fresh, local ingredients—such as British potatoes for the sides or meat from local farms—and also offers takeaway options for those wishing to enjoy their meals at home. In addition to the main dishes, there is a hearty breakfast menu, including the "Breakfast Yorkie," a Yorkshire pudding filled with sausages and bacon, which provides a creative twist on the classic breakfast.

Upon arrival we were promptly ignored for about 5 minutes with three people at the podium. Had carvery, beef was tough, Yorkshire pudding chewy, mash lumpy, roast potatoes hard in the center and under cooked. When asked how our meal was explained the above points. We're told we could have some cake as recompense, had to ask three times and wait 20 minutes for that!! Not a great experience

Fantastic food! Amazing service! The people is very friendly and really caring. The facilities are good and there is a children's play area. The carvery is amazing with a great selection of vegetables to complement really tender meat.

I'm not sure if me and my partner was unlucky on the day of 28/2/25 as the reviews appeared OK, but we were very disappointed with the carvery that we purchased, we spoke to a couple who frequaint the pub more regularly and they told us it's usually better than this as the beef was under cooked their was no gravy and had to ask and wait 10 mins for replacement, and my partner had to get her meal reheaded as it had gone cold waiting for the grave, so needless to say we decided not to have dessert so one can only assume we must have been very unlucky but will not return.

went there too celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it however the table arrangements for us was not very good as we were a family of four but our table could easily accommodate up to ten people and with everyone looking at us was very uncomfortable and it was the only thing that let poppy field farm down

Always go here, have a meal & drink then on the way out, i get a strawberry daiquiri to go, they usually pop into a slush cup for me for take out. Today the "manager" advised that he cannot do me a strawberry daiquiri to go. I advised ive been doing this for months with no issues and have even been served by another manager also. Staff have even double checked on occasions that it is ok to serve it to go and have been told its ok. Today a different manager said its not ok and refused to serve me. Said hes been the manager for years and the other manager who served me only a few months. Is this based on his own policy or poppy fields policy? As all staff should have the same rule, no? Can't make it up as you go along. He was then happy for me to order a strawberry slush and shot of vodka..he didnt refuse to serve them seperately but begrudgingly served them to me...and he couldn't stop me pouring my vodka into my slush and leaving! So what was the point? Make it make sense. How ridiculous other than it costs £4.99 for a strawberry daiquiri and £6.50 for me to order a vodka shot and a strawberry daquiry seperately. So is it to just make more money? Is it a rule he just made up or are all the several staff that served me prior wrong? Then you now need to look at how flawed the "rule" is because I still walked out with a strawberry daiquiri but it's cost me slightly more and you a negative review... Added: I'm pretty sure the manager who did the above us the one responding to this review 😄 he's pretty much responded saying he made it up as he went along because he is the "manager" and can do so...and that's why not a single question was answered that i asked in my review!

Booked a table as hadn’t been in a while. I’m not overly impressed with the food to be honest. In the last 2 years the food has gone down market. Today the mash potato was sloppy like oatmeal, the gravy was too runny there was no consistency to it. The veg was too hard. The cheese cakes that were massive slabs for £4.95 are now 75% smaller and the same price it’s a bit of a joke.

As with all carvery's the food could have been hotter. Just my opinion, but it was OK.

A disappointing breakfast . Cheap catering sausages, the egg had a long black hair in it and the hash brown were soggy . I wouldn't be able to recommend it for breakfast .
