"I went with my cousin, and we had a wonderful meal. The food was excellent. He had the seafood pasta and I had a vegetarian pizza. The tiramisu WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Everything cooked freshly to order in house, and you can see into the kitchen. Lovely friendly atmosphere and very attentive staff."

"We were visiting Oundle for the first time and wanted tea and cake. My wife was craving a flapjack or granola cake and this place had both. In fairness the cakes were excellent (I had an almond slice). But the service was lamentable. Even when I was ordering it was clear that the girl serving me couldn’t care less. The tea took ages and they forgot the cake, and it was hardly a complex order and there was no queue. And because they use trendy teapots it was impossible to get anything other than very weak tea, too weak even for me and I am notorious for liking weak tea. I suspect that is why they try to flog you (as an upgrade) ‘superstrength tea’ when you order. The chap serving alongside the girl was good and did his best to make amends. But how hard is it to pretend that your. Us timers are important. We try to support independents but experiences like this is why I think about local tea shops and then choose Costa or Nero. Stop trying to be trendy and serve good tea and cake with a smile."

"A very disappointing experience. Firstly, we were served complimentary bread which was served completely hot and very clearly microwaved it was also quite inedible as it was very tough and near enough impossible to eat, quite possibly because it had been microwaved for so long. Our starters were okay, with the nicest part being olives, however the roast lamb was also well below average and didn't live up to expectation. We didn't bother with desserts as they had sold out of half of them (it was a sunday early lunchtime) and the table next to us had an nightmare ordering them which resulted in their desserts coming out at different times. Service was okay, however very slow considering we were only 1 of 3 tables in the restaurant although this could be explained by the fact that there was only one member of staff to be seen. Overall very disappointed as the reviews we had read had been good. Parking: Plenty of space."

"Well, let me tell you about this little gem of a place I discovered during my cycling journey – The Ship Inn in Oundle. I was on the saddle, pushing the pedals hard from Wellingborough to Peterborough, when I decided I deserved a wee bit of a break. I wasn 't looking for anything fancy; just a spot to catch my breath and refresh myself. And there it was, The Ship Inn, almost as if it knew a weary traveler was in need. As I stepped in, I must admit, I was a touch self-conscious. There I was, a bit of the road clinging to me in dust and sweat, walking into what could only be described as a posh establishment. But my worries were for naught. The place had this inviting warmth to it, and I 'm not just talking about the decor. The fireplace, oh, it was a sight to behold! An actual, crackling fire that seemed to say, Come on over, sit yourself down, and warm those tired bones. It was exactly what I needed, a lovely fireplace making my break not just accommodating, but downright cozy. Now, I didn 't get a chance to sample their food – this time, anyway – as I only indulged in a non-alcoholic beverage. But if the drink was anything to go by, I bet the cuisine is worth a try. The service, you ask? Spot on. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They treated me like I was a regular, not batting an eye at my cycling attire or the fact that I looked like I 'd just emerged from a dust cloud. Despite the posh airs of the place, not once did I feel out of place. The staff and the patrons alike, they were all about the warm welcomes. I tell you, The Ship Inn is one of those places you stumble upon and immediately know you 'll be coming back to – next time, perhaps, for a hearty meal after a long ride. In short, The Ship Inn in Oundle? It 's a haven for the travel-weary, a spot where the fire 's always burning and the welcome 's always warm. I 'll be sure to make it a pitstop on my future routes, and who knows, maybe next time I 'll be telling you all about their culinary delights. But for now, I 'll just tip my cycling cap to them for a well-deserved break on a long day 's ride."

"My daughter requested very last minute an impromptu family dinner for her 18th birthday. Having eaten and enjoyed previously at T&K I called and explained the situation. They pulled out all the stops to give us a fantastic table on a busy Saturday night. The manager remembered from the booking that it was her birthday which started our experience in such a thoughtful way. It’s lovely when someone you don’t know says happy birthday. We all ordered and were looked after brilliantly by the hard working waitress. The food was excellent sashimi and hanger steak and not sure how we managed a dessert but we did! T&K has a wonderful vibe, lovely people working there who care that you have a good time and delicious food and cocktails. The price of 3 courses for £35 was extremely good value for the quality. For once my steak arrived rare when requested! We will be back, just try stopping us."
