Advantages: Nice Sunday lunch

Disadvantages: Pricey and busy

The Brampton Halt is located just outside Northampton in the small village of Chapel Brampton, it is situated right next to the steam railway which makes it a very popular venue especially in the summer and on a number of occasions that we have been there parking ca be an issue even though they have an overspill parking area.

It would clasify itself as a bistro pub however it also has a local feel to it and many a time we have been there just for a drink rather than eating as it has a nice buoyant atmosphere and you do not get any chavs or power drinkers in the place so it is quite friendly and welcoming. Especially in the summer where then you can take advantage of the large outdoor seating area which is shown in the picture.

Food wise we have eaten there a few times and have enjoyed some lovely Sunday lunches which are a little pricey at over a tenner just for the main course however the quality of the ingredients was excellent with crisp vegetables and a rather large slice of beef which was pink in the middle andso tender that it almost melted in your mouth and one of the best Yorkshire puddings I have eaten.

The erest of the menu is quite interesting as well and I have always found the service to be pretty good although on one occasion they were struggling with the sheer volume of the customers.

In the summer they often set up a BBQ outside for those just wanting burgers or the like which eases the burden a bit on the kitchen and is a nice edition and choice for people.

Summary: Nice pub
