I went to this place once when it was fairly new, I enjoyed my meal although the service was quite…read moreslow, the restraunt was empty when we went in (the premesis shared with cafe next door) and it took a while before the waiter came to serve us, once he was in attendence the service was good and the place filled up as time moved on. The food was nice and well cooked although we had Peri Peri Chicken and it came as plain Roast chicken with a Peri Peri dipping sauce rather than marinated meat as experienced both in Portugal and Uk's other Peri Peri joints. A Tasca has been around a while now so I imagine the management have the staffing issues sorted by now and I have used the Cafe next door many times indeed it is my Joint favourite coffee shop in corby and with the experience of eating the food there I can vouch for the quaility & size of the meals since they share a kitchen & Chef. Overall I would recommend A Tasca

The oldest and by far the best Indian restaurant in Corby. Located in George St, there is only on…read morestreet parking and this may be full. However, there is a large car park only a few minutes walk away. The restaurant is a mix of modern and traditional. Exceptional value - normally 1/2 price during the week. There are discounts for takeaways if you collect. If you like something spicy go for chicken tikka chilli garlic (not on the menu but they happily do it). Lovely garlic nan bread also, and sag bhaji. I have eaten in Indian restaurants throughout the UK and this is still my favourite. Highly recommended.

Been going to this restaurant all my life and has always been the best in the area, and my…read morebenchmark to judge other Indians by but i've been away a while and with my recent visit in October 2011 found new people and a new menu. The food was still ok no horror story's but not as good as before, all 3 of our curries tasted pretty much the same and we're lacking any kind of x factor. Same with the service ok but nothing special. Overall pretty disappointing experience considering it's former glory. I'm sure it's been taken over as now the menu strangely offers dishes not just from India but also china and Malaysia among other places, some may embrace this but I go to an Indian restaurant for specialist Indian cuisine not a jack of all trades menu. Still worth a visit but no longer the best!

This is a very nice gastro-pub that serves good quality food in a nice atmosphere with good staff…read more We had sunday lunch here, the grown ups had lamb which was lovely and the kids had beef which was very nice, all accompanied by fresh cooked 'al dente' veg. As the meat and veg was so good, we had to try the desserts... and we weren't disapointed! Home made apple cake, brownie and sticky toffee pudding were quickly scoffed. Its a great place and worth a visit.

As a avid fan of the coffee shop I have to say this place is my Joint favourite in town, a nice…read moreatmosphere that will remind anyone who has been to Portugal or Spain of their favourite little place abroard. For me the coffee has just the right strength bean which makes for a nice light and smooth coffee although I have to admit that for some it's not as strong as they would like. They also serve Soft & Alcoholic drinks including as you would expect some imported items from Portugal. As well as the thirst quenchers you can also satisfy your stomach with a full and varied menu of both classic English and authentic Portuguese fayre, not to mention the cafe's very own Bakery which serves fresh bread and Pastries etc. There is also a shop attached to the Cafe where you can pick up all kinds of imported portuguese treats includund specialist Chorizo Sausages (also for some spanish items as often the difference is just the name on the brand label) Handy if your after a bottle of wine or Port to go with your meal and the off licence is not open! I have always found the quality of the food and the portion size here very good although not the cheapest I have to admit. (Ask for the Creme Caramel !) There is usually some live sports match or something news based on the tv too which can add to the Iberian atmosphere although it is obviously in Portuguese!! The staff are also very good, and if you take the oportunity to get to know them just a little then you'll find them quite chatty and welcoming. Overall I highly recommend this nice little coffee Shop, in fact I wish i could be there now myself!!

Pretty good pub on the main road into Thrapston…read more Food is not too bad, the times we have eaten there, with a fairly standard menu. I understand they also provide loadging with a few purpose built cabins to the rear of the pub. Never stayed there so not sure of the quality. Reasonably priced food although the beer prices seem to have shot up in recent months. Good for a Sunday dinner with the parents or a few sharpeners after work on a Friday. Overall decent village pub.

It's still a good old British pub through and through regardless and our visit here was a pleasant one. I was here due to being part of a large wedding group, and while my experience of British pubs is always that they are busy, I think our large party may have been a little too much for them so while I'm going to state my experience it may not always be like this, and regardless it's still a good pub with a reasonable selection of beer and a decent food selection too. The problem we had was they just weren't well setup for a large group like us. The table setup was such that we were literally squeezing past them to get to large rows of seats, and this happened constantly as people needed to order food, drinks take bathroom breaks etc. On top of this the service was slow and a number of us (thankfully not the bride and groom) including me had to wait a long time for our food and then ask for it. When it came out it was overdone like they cooked it in a hurry. Overall the impression I got from most was the food was pretty good, so I'm sure that's more the norm. I'd definitely give it another try when not in a large party situation, and certainly would say it's a good place in general to get some good English food and drink.
