Great pub, good beer selection. Good mix of people. Whenever im in Northampton i pay a visit. A bit stuffy and squashed at the weekends, then again where isn't?

Excellent boozer's pub in the town centre - catering for a wide variety of tastes and clientele. Regular oulet for Hampshire Brewery beers - must be the only place in the county where they can be drunk. Fairly loud rock music - so don't pop in here for a quiet evening with a good book!

Best pub in Northampton. People of all ages and persuasions, staff are friendly and the pub garden is huge.
Looks like a strict rocker pub but don't let the decor deceive you, they have music of all genres playing.
Pete is wicked, so is Ri.

Been going in here Thursday lunchtimes since i started work in the town, top pub and top beer, it's a pub with attitude and i like that.

Excellent range of ales (I think there were seven on handpump); clientele youngish, mainly goth/rocker/student types. Rather gloomy decor and staff could have been a bit more welcoming, but certainly worth a visit for the beer - I had Vale Black Beauty Porter and Oakham JHB.

I've been going to this pub since I moved here in 97, I even worked there, it's a brilliant place to be, everyone is really friendly and has a wicked sense of humour.....it's worth going if only for the landlords legs! Not for the chavs...if you are a Chav it's not your cuppa tea.

Wicked pub, top alternative music venue, garden is a summer sanctuary. It takes all sorts to make a world and they're all down the horse on a saturday night!

one thing about the horse i like, is it doesnt matter what you dress like.nobody judges you! you get some great charaters in there.the garden is lovely to sit in, in the summer.they have some good bands playing in the bar and backroom. pete is a good landlord. hes been there years. very sarcastic at times but i like that!!!!! keeps it intresting..
