The Walnut Tree Inn, Blisworth

Well, judging by the past comments this place must have changed quite a lot in the last few years.

We stopped off during a trip on the grand union canal for lunch and had an amazing meal. I had fish and chips (best ever!!) and my partner had the vegetarian burger, which she said had many layers of interesting flavours and was served with a carrot and caraway seed salad and chips, which she couldn't finish, which was a shame because we saw some desserts come out and they looked luscious! A little pricey for pub food, but definitely worth it.

Had a couple of pints of the local beer, Wagtail, which was light, clean and fruity and she had a half of Krombacher, a proper German lager.

The friendly chap who served us said that the Walnut Tree had won the best pub food award in the northants food competition and had just been awarded pub of the season by the local CAMRA branch.
