Visited 12th February 2010.
Work has sent me back up North today, which gives me the opportunity to stop off in Northampton on the way back. I persuade my colleague that we should stop somewhere and have some lunch before we enter the hell that is the English motorway network. He agrees and 'pure chance' ensures that we end up at a 'spoons. The pub is situated opposite a market which is in full swing thus when we enter the pub we find that it is very busy and there is a certain amount of waiting around to get served. I do a quick 'reccy' of the pub, checking out the upstairs dining area but only manage to find one spare table which we quickly sit at. We both opt for the gourmet burgers but are told there is no cheese sauce and would we like BBQ instead. Yes! Whilst sipping my pint of Sporran Warmer a waitress appears - disaster, they have no buns, would we like the burger served in ciabatta bread instead. Yes! Well, it worked for us. Suitably refreshed we now felt we could tackle anything, including what turned out to be a three hour (instead of one and three quarter hour) drive home.
