Had a really average Sunday roast today. My mum 's home raost so much more flavoursome, I am reminded why I rarely risk anyone else 's. Seriously you cannot charge £18 for ropey roast potatoes (zero crisp, more like the frozen variety, maybe they were!! , tasteless veg apart from the red cabbage which was the most flavoursome thing on the plate and an average tasting, nearly over cooked, Supreme of Chicken drop the supreme, it 's irrelevant and there is nothing supreme about it. How about a richer gravy, how about some lovely herby stuffing, some cauliflower cheese? My mum had lamb, she said it was a bit tough. And our friend agreed with the general assessment apart from the sticky toffee pu...
This was our first visit, and it was based on a review I had seen sometime in the past (can’t remember where or when , but it turned out to be accurate, as we really enjoyed it. It’s a lovely pub in a great village setting with a large car park, big outdoor areas and lots of rooms inside with some nice cosy tables etc. – we ate in the bar area. The staff were excellent, really friendly and helpful and the food was very good too and very well priced at £16 for two courses and £20 for three courses (none of the dishes were individually priced, but I did order aside portion of chips! – that may just be a mid week price, I’m not sure. The Barnwell Bitter beer was absolutely excellent – we will r...
It was my wife’s birthday and we wanted to try somewhere new and the Monty was recommended. We were not disappointed. It was a Tuesday lunch and there were quite a few people dining in the bar creating a nice atmosphere and we managed to get a table right next to a lovely log fire. The menu is varied supplemented by a specials board. My wife chose shoulder of pork and I had the lamb. Both were served quickly, hot and a generous portion and were excellent. Puddings followed of course. Prices on par. To cut it short, lovely food, service and surroundings, will definitely visit again.
We had two excellent sirloin steaks today and were very impressed. Decided to call in here for lunch and so pleased we did. The food was superb and they have a good range of beers and wines. There was a vibrant and friendly vibe and it was busy when we arrived. This is a pub but service was actually better than we had experienced at a hotel in Uppingham on the previous Sunday! We could see how hard the staff were working and they were all brilliant. We have been before but always as larger walking groups but we shall return again very soon very impressed!

We had an great Sunday lunch at the Monty yesterday. The food was excellent and served hot we had roast lamb, roast beef and the nut roast all delicious. There was a real buzz as the pub was full I'd recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. The pub has loads of parking space and the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We had three dogs with us which was no problem in the cellar bar. What a great place to meet grandparents on their way past Oundle to a holiday destination. Thank you to the team for a great experience!
A group of 6 of us made a reservation for New Year's Eve. For £35 per person, we enjoyed a 3-course meal, watched fireworks at midnight, and danced at a disco until 2am. The food was outstanding, with a straightforward menu that included a sharing board to start, a choice of beef or salmon for the main course, and a trio of desserts. We were completely satisfied with both the food and the service. It was a fantastic evening, thanks to all the staff involved.
The Montagu Arms catered our 60th birthday celebration lunch for 70 people at the adjacent Village Hall. We cannot rate or recommend it too highly Ian was a dream to liaise with (absolutely nothing was too much trouble), the food was superb tasty, hot, efficient and fuss free. Dietary requirements were hassle free and our guests were without exception enormously complimentary. Thanks to The Monty, our event was a huge success. Thank you!
The lunch and Christmas dinner at this restaurant were amazing. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were very nice and helpful, and our plates were always empty at each course. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them, and they even catered for gluten-free and dairy-free options. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.
