As new arrivals in northamptonshire my husband and i are visiting many local eateries, last friday we decided to have lunch at the swan at lamport accompanied by our young daughter. On entering the premises we were met by a lady who had to check whether we could be accomodated I thought it this rather odd as there were only two tables occupied in the whole place.

My friends and I had a delighful trip and ended the extended lunch with anti-pasti and further drinks in the bar. I have since returned with my husband and children and we would definately recommend ...  Read the complete review
