"Booked this based on v good trip adviser reviews. Looking at website menu prices the expectation was that this pub is very definitely aimed at the posh end of things. If anything more high end than I wanted that weekend but they had availability where a couple of other pubs on my list didn 't so I went for it anyway and booked. Welcome in the bar was warm, first impression of the formica table and the rather cafeteria glasses plonked on it was rather unsettling but I told myself the food would more than make up for such a trivialities. The wait to order drinks and food was about right. It being a Sunday my Dad and I ordered roast lamb, and my daughter ordered whitebait. The wait for the food was long. The roasts arrived with huge Yorkshire puddings (will never understand that with lamb but not complaining which turned out to be rather crispy, the lamb thinly sliced and swimming in gravy was lovely and tender but was tepid! The vegetables were an uninspired boiled collective including cubes of swede that I haven 't seen or endured since school dinners. The whitebait were rather too large for my 10 year old daughter 's sensibilities but that 's our issue not the Folly 's they were nicely cooked in a spicey batter, but I was expecting the usual 1 2 inch long fish not the 3 inch ones that arrived and she tried to eat them but freaked out and finished off my by now cold lamb so I think I won that exchange ; I made it up to her with a pudding (2 different sorbets which took so long to arrive she had to leave half of it or risk 'brain freeze. ' In a final irony, you know how in some restaurants you are inundated by inquiries as to whether your food is ok? In this case if I had been asked I 'd have sent back the food in favour of something that was actually hot but no one asked, and as my dad is struggling with dementia I wasn 't going to call someone over and cause a scene. Ambience might be good at other times but don 't expect much on a Sunday lunchtime."

I have frequented The Folly many times and it is my top choice for dining. The food is superb with a menu that caters to a range of tastes. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I would suggest this restaurant to any discerning diner in the area. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

A sensational Sunday Lunch, a friendly welcome and great service. A great choice of food, and every element of our meal was superb. Roasts were delicious, portion sizes perfect and the wine a perfect compliment to it all. My five year old was brilliantly looked after and had a great choice of food, not always the case in even the better restaurants. We felt so welcome and nothing seemed any trouble for the staff. We visited for a special occasion and had a really memorable visit. Thank you to Robert and all the staff. I would recommend The Folly to everyone , treat yourself! Don’t be put off by the roadworks chaos in Towcester either!

"A warm welcome, friendly and attentive staff. Perhaps not the easiest of places to find, even if you do know your way around as it 's hidden away in a quiet back street in an already quiet village location. We were quickly seated on arrival and drinks soon sorted. An adequate choice on the Sunday Lunch menu, including traditional Sunday Roasts and pub classics. Vegan and vegetarian options. A nice touch that although my wife chose a main that was shown as vegan on the menu, they thoughtfully asked if she was indeed vegan (or vegetarian) before the food arrived so as to tailor accompanying veg/roasties/yorkshire pud accordingly. Starters, mains and desserts were all simply presented, without excessively flamboyant garnishes etc but that 's no criticism, just an observation the food itself was very good indeed. Really enjoyed our starter roasted asparagus with garlic mushrooms. Only minor criticism being that one of the sides (cauliflower cheese) was a bit over browned. Swiftly noted by server and a replacement offered (but declined it really was no big deal). I had the classic beer batter fish with chunky chips. Menu said mushy peas but regular petit pois were served. Superb chunky chips and chef really nailed that beer batter (apparently using Hooky ale seems to work well at any rate delightfully light batter with no soggy bits or over hard bits either). Generous portions all round, so both of us elected to leave a little room for our desserts We both enjoyed our meal and will doubtless be back at some point in the near future."
