Olde England — Restaurant in Great Britain

Probably the best selection of ciders and beers in Northampton.

We lived in Northampton for three years before we fibally discovered The Olde England. Im a dry cider drinker, and its very difficult to find a decent cider in Northampton; its usually Strongbow or some overly sweet berry thing. The Old England has at least a dozen, if not a couple of dozen ciders available. There are English fruit wines and Fentiman's soft drinks too. The prices are reasonable, the service is top notch (recommendations for drinks are spot on).

We first came when the upper floor had smaller booths (a covid thing), and i somewhat preferred that as a way of having a private conversation.
