Wasn’t sure what to expect from this. I wanted a nice meal in a nice restaurant that would be suitable for a 10 year old as we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. I read the reviews, looked at the menu and took a punt on The Folly - and boy did it pay off! Great consideration for Covid and social distancing, with meals delivered to a side table and spotlessly clean. The menu was limited - so we were told, there was more than enough to choose from and we couldn’t fault a single item that we chose - it was all hot, tasty and well cooked. If I’m being picky and I’m really stretching to find something to be picky about, the pork main was a little on the large side for me and my daughter, but it tasted fantastic.
This is definitely on our list to repeat again, great value, fantastic food, lovely people and atmosphere. Thank you!

It was such a pleasure to be back at the Folly again. Arrangements and staff were excellent to combat the new regulations because of Covid. The menu was as good as ever so well done to all concerned.

This was our first outing since restaurants were allowed to open and The Folley made my birthday a pleasant, friendly and safe occasion. The food was of a high quality, served elegantly and cooked by a chef with imagination. Couldn't fault it. Big thank you.

Our first venture out since lockdown to celebrate my belated birthday. The food as ever was excellent and the measures put in place, perhaps a little strange, but very good and we felt very relaxed. Just a shame the management have to go to such lengths to survive but we wish them continued success. Would feel quite confident to go back.

We ventured out for the first time since lock down reopened, with trepidation I must admit to the lovely folly, we needn't have worried as the meals were just as we remembered, yummy and all the staff were attentive and everything was very well organised, one problem I was so full I couldn't order a dessert!

Thursday we had our first post lockdown lunch out! What a treat! Although we were apprehensive about dining out, we needn't have worried. Staff at The Folly have worked so hard to reorganise how they serve you so you feel safe. There's a one way system, hand sanitising station, tables protected by perspex screens, & individual serving tables to maintain distance. The food is still absolutely delicious!

Always difficult to choose somewhere to eat for other people but I had no hesitation in suggesting The Folly for our Sunday lunch for 9 of us. It didn't disappoint and all our friends were extremely impressed and wondered why they had not been before. There are few places I would feel confident enough to recommend but never have any worries about The Folly. Robert and his team are friendly, professional and welcoming. OH - I forgot to say - the food is outstanding.

I first came to The Folly with a friend for our pre-Christmas Special Meal Out in December 2016, and LOVED IT - couldn't wait to visit again for my birthday in February! Since then it's been my go-to choice for special occasions, most recently for Sunday Lunch on 1 March with three dear friends who make up a 'birthday set'. There are so many lovely choices on your menu, and so well presented - it's always a happy experience! THANK YOU

Our monthly treat is lunch here. We love the fact some of the menu choices change monthly, so you have different dishes to try. We've always enjoyed the food, and the locally brewed ales are good too. Booking essential as the dining room is fairly small. Well worth a visit.

By popular demand we (15people) went to the Folly for the second year running for our Christmas Meal. As usual it was absolutely splendid, delicious! we have members of the group that have limited diets and these were well catered for. The environment was comfortable, clean and pleasant. The service was great, also, as usual. The planning of the meal and reservation were made easier by the excellent communication from Rob and we would all like to thank the whole team for another excellent meal and experience. I for one will definitely be back!

I can't think of enough superlatives to describe the Christmas lunch we've just eaten. The vegetables served with the meal were beautifully cooked. It's the first time we have eaten ALL the brussel sprouts at any restaurant! The red cabbage was sweet and juicy and the Christmas pudding was heaven. We now come here once a month - it's our best discovery of 2019.

Another beautiful fish and chip lunch. I know it's boring to order the same thing; but the chef is a genius. The batter is crispy but never greasy, and the fish is always top quality being moist and tender. The homemade tartare sauce and pea puree are ideal accompaniments.

The food just gets better and better and I would never change my starter of cheese soufle, it is just amazing. My husband loves the guinea fowl and when it was no longer on the menu and we mentioned it to the proprietor, he had no hesitation in putting it back on the menu so obviously listens to his customers. The success of this restaurant is apparent by the need to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Without doubt the best restaurant for miles.

Our 2nd visit was Wednesday. The food is still excellent, as are the staff. We had the fish and chips. The haddock is skinless, the batter crisp, the chips crispy but not greasy, and the tartare sauce is to die for. We can't manage 3 courses these days, so on our next visit (already booked), we're having a main and dessert.

A belated cheer for another outstanding meal. An old friend from Surrey joined us and declared the Folly should be awarded a Michelin star. I counselled caution as it would mean that the wonderfully-reasonable pricing would probably go through the roof and it would be even harder to book a table!

Our first visit to The Folly on 21st April 2019 and will not be our last. Food was excellent (menu had a diverse choice of dishes); service was superb; we were able to sit outside to eat; ample parking; we were late arriving and this appeared not to be a problem at all (I expect it was annoying, though, really sorry about that). None of us is local but we drive to Stoke Bruerne for an annual meet up; we will certainly return. Thank you for a great lunch.

My Husband and I dined here on Tuesday 9th April in the evening
We were only staying nearby overnight as my Husband had a Porsche Experience booked for the next day at Silverstone.
We we're very impressed the moment we walked through the door being greeted with a smile from the owner Robert.
All three courses were delicious and it was hard to choose what to have, the soufflé starter is a definite must to try.
The Owner and staff were all very friendly and professional not to forget the Chef for producing such top quality food.
We wish we lived closer, I know we would definitely be regular customers.
Well done to you all and keep up the good work.

Visited The Folly on Sunday 3rd March for Sunday Roast. I chose the roast beef which was very tasty, along with the gravy, and good roast potatoes too, could have done with a little more veg accompanying the meal.
I chose Apple Strudel for dessert which was gorgeous. I've dined at The Folly on a few occasions with a group of people, today I dined alone, I felt at ease, and was given a couple of magazines to read. The Staff were extremely friendly and efficient.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend who had been before. We were looking for somewhere offering good value and the lunchtime set menu was perfect (although we were sorely tempted by the main menu too). The staff were delightful and knowledgeable about the food being served. We had gluten free and dairy free needs within the group. As the food is cooked fresh by a chef they know exactly what is in the food and they can change ingredients to suit dietary needs so they can eat the same food as everyone else at the table rather than from a separate menu. A problem that people with dietary needs will know all too well.
I would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Most of our group had a 4hr round trip just to come to this restaurant and we'd do it again!

An oasis in a desert where good food is served without pretentious displays and at a reasonable price. Consistently good it isn’t surprising The Folly was full when we arrived. Quickly shown to our table and made to feel as though we were welcome, often not the case at other establishments, pre dinner drinks and menus are soon delivered where the choice of dishes is so tempting it makes it difficult to choose, can you have too many delicious sounding things to make your selection from? Perhaps this is part of The Folly’s secret, you just have to go back and try something else on the menu.
Thank you everyone for a lovely evening.

Wonderful impromptu Friday lunch date with my hubbie. The great value two course menu was faultless; we shared the indulgent cheese souffle starter and waldorf salad, and wish we had ordered two venison pies for main course - just gorgeous, finished off with an autumnal creme brulee. It is so rare to go out for a meal and not feel like I could have cooked better/equivalent at home. Simply wonderful x

Thank you to all staff , another wonderful meal Sunday lunch this time. We had booked a table for six people we all had something different and really enjoyed the lovely food, even our 5 year old grandson ate all his lunch (very unusual for him ). Apologies for 3 off our group being 1/2 hr late due to a Brakedown on route , although the restaurant was very busy and the table was needed for the next diners the staff handled this very well. Looking forward to our next visit. :) 12/09/18

We had two lunches at The Folly in August. The first time my husband and I had such a good meal that we booked up for eight of us, for a special occasion, a couple of weeks later. We were not disappointed! We had a number of different dishes between us, all of which were enjoyed - highlights were the cheese souffles and panna cotta. We are looking for opportunities to return (we don't live in the area) as are some of our guests, who also commented on the efficiency and friendliness of the staff.

We found The Folly online and booked a table about a month before we arrived for MotoGP.
The staff are wonderful, especially our lovely waitress.
We asked for a couple of changes to what was on the menu and they were very accommodating.
The food was sublime. I tried ox cheeks for the first time and the meat just melted in your mouth.
My husband had pork and it was gorgeous.
If you have pudding go for the Sticky Toffee Pudding, one of the best I have had the pleasure to eat.
Thank you to the chef for a wonderful meal. If we return to Silverstone we will be booking a table again.

A regular favourite of ours - we never come away disappointed.
Always a range of inventive dishes on the menu and the chef really knows how to cook a piece of meat!
Great staff and not overpriced, one of the best eateries in Northamptonshire.

Another excellent meal with friendly and efficient service. The food is very well cooked and presented by the kitchen staff. I certainly believe that The Folly is the best restaurant by far in the Towcester area.

We, 4 people, visited the Folly for the first time on Sunday 18th August and was warmly welcomed by the staff. On being shown to our table we were allowed time to digest the menu before we were asked for our drinks order followed shortly after by requesting our main order.
We have to say the food was excellent with the meat done to perfection and the vegetables were just as we preferred them.
I believe what makes an excellent restaurant is the staff - we could not have asked for better they were attentive without being over the top, we're friendly without being to familiar. All in all a good time was had by all.

We returned on Saturday for a second visit for dinner and you were as excellent as you were on first time experience. The staff were wonderful and the food was exceptional.

We have tested out both the food and the staff over the last couple of weeks, a lunchtime meal for two, then a family lunch for six and finally another lunch for eleven last Sunday and on each occasion the food and the service were excellent.
Nice friendly atmosphere, superb cooking and all our guests were most impressed.
Thank you all for a very pleasant time.

Never ever disappointed with The Folly. Thank you! We had a large booking for a special birthday and had excellent service. It was a Sunday so we all had Roast Dinners and each was thoughtfully put together with different condiments, gravy, all the vegetables had been thought through carefully and the biggest yorkshires ever! THANK YOU!

Thank you for a wonderful Sunday lunch on our first visit to The Folly, it was well worth the drive from Northampton. We will return to try the evening menu as the guinea fowl that my partner had was as good a dish as you could get anywhere.
The pork belly terrific as usual,I have it here at least once a month but the mash and cabbage rather boring.I seem to rember in the past there was a date sort of mash that was much better.Can David remember?

Once again a fabulous evening at The Folly Inn!
This time celebrating my wife’s 60th. The food was just superb (as always - so ‘We’ll Done’ Chef) and the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. We only visit on special occasions, so it is nice to find a reliably top quality restaurant.
I hope the ‘high end’ input from The Grange housing estate doesn’t make it impossible to get a table in the future, and I hope Robert manages to keep it cosy and discreet. It’s certainly a credit to himself and his team.
Wedding Anniversary next month - so we’ll be back!

Our first measure of a good dining experience is to be served food that you would struggle to replicate at home - 'Tick'
Our second measure is when we are tempted to try things that would not normally - 'Tick' (Vegetarian wellington - yum!)
Our final measure is when you leave saying 'we must do that again - 'Tick'

Once again very good. I fancied something different for lunch especially as I had Fillet Steak waiting at home for my evening meal. I didn’t think I was a Ravioli and Ragu person until today it was delicious. My wife and son both enjoyed their meals too. We didn’t have time for dessert on this occasion but the starters and mains were excellent.

Yes, I agree with so many others that the food,service, staff & value for money are excellent. What I also appreciated was that there are enough soft furnishings to absorb excessive noise, you can converse softly & comfortably. Too many other places are like echo chambers with everyone shouting to be heard above the echo.

The food was simply stunning and of a standard well above what I was expecting - a wonderful surprise. We had a lovely relaxed lunch, unhurried by the staff who were warm and welcoming. The icing on the cake was when, as I had requested as a surprise, our first dance song was played for us. Fabulous customer service which absolutely made our day. Cannot recommend The Folly highly enough, thank you.

I booked for a large group of ladies to have dinner from the party menu. The table were exactly as asked for and also looked very attractive. The service was excellent and the food superb. Everyone enjoyed their meal and I expect lots of us will be returning.

We visited The Folly after having last been there some months if not years ago before the refurbishment.
Very pleased to say the quality of the food, the attention of the bar staff and the whole experience was all as hoped for after reading the reviews online as we were there for a friends birthday.
Will definitley be visiting again, and hopefully soon especially as we are local .

We lunched on 20th September as a party of four choosing from the fixed price lunch menu. This is our fifth trip and half our party travel from Leicester whilst I and my wife travel up from Newbury. The food really is of gourmet quality, the choice is excellent and presentation is superb. The range of real ales is also good. We look forward to our next visit in January.

We had chosen Towcester and particulary The Folly at random as an half-way venue to meet family on Saturday. The staff and the food beat any expectations we had. The food was a genuine treat and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

The service was way above any other restaurant in the area, experienced staff who were attentive without being intrusive. Food also arrived timeously. The starters and desserts were superb and our mains were really good. Thank you for making our business dinner a thoroughly enjoyable evening out!

Wonderful lunch party for 14 of us. The service was excellent and prompt all the meals arrived at the same time and as a majority of the party had children to collect from school back in Milton Keynes we were able to enjoy from 12 to 2pm without having to clock watch. Very good value for money the set menu. Will certainly be visiting again.

I have been a customer at the Folly for two years now and the food and service is always second to none.
This week I took my boyfriend there for lunch for his birthday and was once again blown away by the quality of the food. For his birthday last year, we went to The Hand and Flowers in Marlow (Tom Kerridge's two Michelin starred restaurant) but in my opinion the food at the Folly is better.
Everything is always perfectly cooked, the menu (which changes frequently) carries great choice and flavour combinations and the presentation is beautiful without being pretentious.
I will continue to recommend the Folly to anyone who will listen. Please never change your chef!!!

Came with friends for a meal on Friday eve. Being vegan, I was expecting salad... but no... they had a full veggie menu with vegan options - that were AMAZING! Thank you so much. Can't wait to come again, the meal was delicious and our waitress couldn't do enough to help me :-)

Hello! My partner and I had a delightful dinner at The Folly on Tuesday this week. We were warmly welcomed and led to our table in the very cosy dining area. We had beef carpaccio and the cheese souffle for starters - both delicious - followed by spinach and ricotta tortellini and the best pork belly I have ever had, anywhere (and I like pork belly, a lot!). The service was as excellent as the food. We will certainly return if we come back to Towcester!

This is our favorite restaurant by far. The food and service are always excellent without exception. The atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly.
Unfortunately we don't live locally so don't get to visit as often as we would like, but we make a point of going as often as possible.
Thank you all for always making our visits so enjoyable.

My first visit to The Folly was with 5 other guests, none of whom had eaten there previously. The impressions we had received when I booked the lunch were that it was a very nice place with very good food. Well, I for one was not disappointed nor indeed were my guests - all expressed the view that the food was very good and the lunch most enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the wines which came from a relatively short wine list but include a very good Gruner Veltliner and an enjoyable Primitivo.
Well done, Robert!

We have been to the folly many times but never for a Sunday dinner boy do we regret having not been before ,we had roast pork and it was to die for ,Yorkshire puds like you have never seen before too totally scrumpy. Service great as always and a big thankyou to the chef for a fab meal we will be booking again soon .

Yet again, the Folly Inn did not dissapoint. We were a party of 14 celebrating the marriage of our Daughter the next day.

Our first visit on 10.08.17 for a birthday dinner was superb. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was wonderful. What to choose from the menu was difficult - so much so that when it came to dessert we had the sharing platter - a bit of everything. It was so good that we now know we need to come many more times to try everything individually. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Two week-end guests staying in my house kindly offered to take me out to lunch as a thank you for having them, and we all thoroughly enjoyed a really excellent Sunday roast. My choice was pork, which was superbly cooked, with the crackling being deliciously crisp, without being so hard as to be difficult to bite. We were too full for anything other than ice cream for dessert, and we loved the imaginative variety of flavours. I have been to the Folly many times before, and I look forward to my next visit.

This was our first time here, we went on a Sunday so took advantage of the Roast and it didnt disappoint.

We came to The Folly for lunch for the first on 20th July. The four of us chose from the set menu, two,having starters and mains; two mains and puds. All the courses were delicious. The wine was also excellent and very sensibly priced. The decor is very smart - modern but comfortable. Last but not least, the warmth of the welcome and the service were just lovely.

We visited The Folly, as we were staying in Towcester on route to the F1 Campsites. Last year we had popped in for desert only and had the tasting platter, which was so nice we booked for a full service this year. We were not disappointed, the food was superb, as was the service and team. We even managed to sample another tasting platter. I'm sure we will be back on route to the race next year. Thanks all

My husband and I visited on Wednesday 12th July having booked a table on 5th December 2016 as I knew it would be busy. The souffles that we both had were to die for and my pork was lovely and from the little bit of guinea fowl that my husband let me have also tasted very good.
My only complaint is that there was no room for a desert!
We are looking to go to Towcester in November and will definitely book again once we have the date.
It was a lovely evening and both the staff and service was excellent.
Thank you Robert, David and the team

Excellent meal last Saturday. Place was full but service was excellent. Food was as usual of a high standard. Scallop starter was very tasty and nicely presented. I had the Lamb main which was very tasty. The five of us in our party had a great night. Staff were very efficient. Another visit will be sooner rather than later

A superb meal last night......again! It was great to see scallops on the starter menu and both my husband and I opted for them and thoroughly enjoyed the dish. The guinea fowl was succulent with the duxelles stuffing ensuring that it was both flavoursome and moist. The white/dark chocolate dessert was rich but not at all heavy. A real treat! Thank you Robert, David and all the staff.....a deliciously enjoyable evening.

A friend of ours had visited The Folly several times and always had a lovely meal. I checked on trip advisor and was interested to see some of the negative comments. I always take these with a pinch of salt; especially when I see the response.
My husband and I went on Wednesday evening for his birthday and were warmly welcomed by a lovely waiter and the owner chatted to us. We had a lovely meal and wine and everyone could not have been more attentive but not over bearing. We are looking forward to bringing our friends and dining here again. It's lovely to find a good independent restaurants near MK as there are not many in MK itself.

From the moment we stepped through the door we were welcomed & treated to first class customer service. Celebrated my husbands birthday here, booked on line & just asked if they could add a happy birthday in chocolate sauce to my husbands dessert as an extra touch. The team instead produced a fantastically decorated plate complete with a champagne bottle candle and made his night. Can't thank the team enough for such a great evening, oh and the food was gorgeous too.

On Saturday January 14th, I made my nth. visit to this superlative restaurant. I use the term nth., because I have visited so many times; I have lost count of how many times: suffice to say that I still haven't made as many visits as I would like. The Folly Inn no longer surprises me, but always utterly delights me, and those I bring with me, with consistently wonderful food. This last visit was with my wife, brother and two friends. We all moved through the courses relishing every morsel, delighted with each and every bite. It is a mixed blessing that The Folly is some little distance from my home; otherwise I suspect I would be there several times each week. Long may this wonderful restaurant continue to serve the most splendid meals, at such terrific value. I am running out of superlatives, so this is enough from me. Until next time. Thanks to everyone at The Folly Inn. Don't change a single thing.
What a great place. Authentic atmosphere, delicious food, friendly yet professional service. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our Sunday lunch very much. Will be back soon.

All our meals were outstanding, with additional vegetables. All the food was served hot. The staff were friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much for them . I am returning on the 19th with another groups of friends, and know that everyone will enjoy their meal as much as I did. Thank you. I would have no problem recommending The Folly

Fantastic meal extremely friendly service. A memorable meal catching up with friends. Food cooked to a high standard and very tasty. Will certainly come again.
Had a lovely company meal for 15 people. It was our first visit to this restaurant. Food was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding is to die for! : ) It all ran smoothly with no issues. Would recommend to anyone. Anna
This is a favourite local restaurant of my son and our first visit. It's always a good sign when you look at the menu and know that you could eat everything! The food is of generous proportions but the style is top restaurant quality. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented and the staff were prompt, friendly and professional.
A real little gem and somewhere we will return to.

My partner and I visited here on Saturday evening. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy, we still managed to overindulge in a relaxed meal in ambient surroundings, being served lovely food with 'just right' portion sizes by very pleasant and accommodating waiting staff.
I would like to add that the 'overindulgence' part was entirely our fault and should not reflect in any way on The Folly Inn!!!

We had the most wonderful evening at the Folly on Saturday, 6 August 2016. As usual, the food was fabulous, the service was excellent and the experience was loved by all - we had visitors from Germany who have already said they definitely want to come again. So thank you very much for all the hard work and effort you put in to making the Folly such a wonderful place to come and visit. Have a great summer and see you soon. Angela Lowe

Words cannot rate the staff and food at the Folly high enough.
From start to finish a wonderful pleasant evening. A warm welcome that greets you and then a high standard of service from the waiting staff who where very friendly and had time to chat and offer recommendations from the menu.
We celebrated our 20th anniversary here and I cannot wait for another anniversary to return again.
The 4 dessert platter to share is a superb option and I recommend the pan fried Sea Beam to anyone. The chef outdone himself with this dish alone.

What a wonderful restaurant you have created. I owed two friends lunch after they had helped me out, I selected The Folly Inn on a whim, I'm so glad I did. We were made to feel most welcome as soon as we arrived and the friendly but professional service continued throughout our stay. The lunch menu was varied and there was a choice of set menu or Al a Carte. Food quality and service really makes this place stand out and all at a good price.

Courteous and helpful staff looked after us promptly, and we will certainly return again soon. This is our favourite 'proper English' restaurant in the area, roasted meats with all the proper trimmings done to perfection. Northanptonshire's finest! Thank you.

Eleven out of ten for picking up from a conversation at the bar that it was my birthday. Thanks. We''l be back soon.

Wanted to entertain visitors to lunch in our area, and chose the Folly Inn from the internet. A great choice, it was. Warmly greeted on arrival, escorted to table and well attended by staff. The menu choices were very interesting, and the food, on arrival at the table were on well heated plates, and, on consumption, were very tasty. Will definitely return in the future, and will recommend to friends and family.

We also finished off the the Folly dessert platter which if you like your puds it's to die for.

My son said the pulled pork starter and trio of beef was perfect and throughly enjoyed them as did the rest of us with our choices. I went for the veggie option which was lovely. Potion sizes spot on not too little or too much so we managed desert which again excellent. Definitely recommend and will visit again

Visiting The Folly is always a delight which is why when looking for somewhere to spend an evening with family for my husband's birthday it was obviously our first choice.

The food is second to none and as person who has no sweet tooth at all I find it amazing how I simply can't resist their desserts!

We've been to the Folly a few times now and have always had a very enjoyable meal. We visited again this week for a small Christmas celebration and, with one exception regarding a venison portion being tough with gristle, we ALL enjoyed a very delicious meal. I would also hasten to add that the one problem we had was one of 4 venison ordered and all the rest were cooked to perfection! The management dealt with the situation very fairly and throughout the meal we were very well looked after. I can't rate this restaurant highly enough, the food is outstanding and the service extremely friendly. Well done all!

We hadn't been to the folly for a little while but we're nit disappointed. The service was warm and friendly and the meal ( lamb rump special) was just delicious. We had three courses, just the right timings in between and each were lovely. Thank you we will be back, we had a lovely evening.

We enjoyed our lunch this week, which was beautifully cooked and presented. My husband was impressed with the vegetable Wellington-so often vegetarian menus are boring. Not this time. We plan to return when we meet friends.

We are regular diners at The Folly and were keen to return to experience the jazz evening recently. The live music played by Annie on the clarinet and sax was pitched perfectly at a volume whereby one could still maintain an easy conversation with others on the table and the acoustics were far better than I had expected. It made for a relaxed and atmospheric evening which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We hope it will be repeated in the future.
The food as always was scrumptious, beautifully cooked and presented and the service was attentive but not intrusive; prompt yet not rushed and friendly and polite.
Another enjoyable visit positively enhanced by the live music. Back soon!!

We booked a table for our anniversary, having dined at The Folly previously we knew it would be great.

My husband and I arrived rather late in the evening as we were travelling through the area and needed somewhere to stop for dinner. What a gem of a place, despite being very busy we were squeezed in and nothing was to much trouble for them.
We ordered from the menu, which left us salivating before our plates arrived and we weren't disappointed. The marriage of flavours were beautiful, I had lamb which was succulent and juicy. My husband had the chicken highlighted with orange and the citrus panne cotta.
We can't wait for our return at Christmas.

Recommended by relatives in Newport Pagnell we were looking for somewhere to meet up with my son from the US who was travelling to Southport. We arrived to a good welcome and despite my son being half an hour late nothing was too much trouble. Advice on the local congested roads was also given for for my son travelling further north. We had come from Suffolk to eat at the Folly Inn and enjoyed the occasion. Certainly if we are in the area again we will be back.

We were traveling into Towcester a few months back and in passing the Folly said "we must try that" and we did. We have been back 3 times now and had a lovely experience every time the staff are professional but we have found that we could also have a joke with them, which to us make for a pleasurable experience, we travel 20 miles to eat there....... We will be back.

We dined at The Folly Inn last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and absolutely loved it.

Great dinner, as usual, I've never eaten anything other than the pork belly there. I couldn't find the prunes in the red cabbage though, prefer the spiced apple with prunes to accompany it
Partner loved the freshly cooked lamb fillet, tasty and soft.
Then came the problem! I mistook the bill total of £65 to be £85 so left a £10 tip.The server said that's too much,sir!!! Because I'd left a £30 tip. How many waitresses would have been so honest. Well Done!

Once again, we really enjoyed our meals on Sunday. The food is delicious. It is well presented and flavour combinations are well though-out. This is not run-of-the-mill pub food, it is finer dining at a reasonable price. Children are well catered for too, with their own menu, or a smaller sized Sunday roast and a puzzle/colouring sheet to do if they are younger. We would highly recommend a visit.

I have eaten at The Folly Inn on several occasions, so it can be taken as read that I am most impressed with the wonderful food. For my friend, it was a first; and she loved every moment of our time, every morsel of her food. Always wonderful; amazing staff; and the food is divine. God willing, we will be back again ... and again. A truly wonderful experience in every single way ... and, when we stayed a little too long at table, the staff actually apologised to me ... in fact, I trust they will forgive me for embarrassing them. All so comfortable and welcoming. So good.

Our first visit to " The Folly "was very enjoyable. The atmosphere was good and the staff very friendly. The menu choice was excellent and overall the food very good. If I was to make a small constructive criticism it would be that the vegetables were over cooked and possibly the seasoning a little heavy handed. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely return. In our opinion the food highlight of the evening was the delicious " fig, Stilton , chutney and pomegranate " starter !

We have drove past many times and have always commented on how nice this place looked and that we must eat there one day. My son was visiting from Amsterdam and we had mum with us,driving home after shopping in MK, so we decided to give it a go. As we stopped on the off chance we had a short wait for a table and we were given nibbles with our drinks. It was well worth the wait, the food was very tasty and the staff were really nice and friendly. We would definitely go again and would recommend eating here .

I booked a meal for 14 people with 4 days notice, although it took some negotiation regarding the layout and timings, they managed to fit us in. On the day it went up to 18, I was informed they would have to look at it, 20 minutes later i received an email saying they had managed to turn tables around to get us all together. I had no idea at the time this was actually half the seating area we were taking up, but it was the meal before my wedding day and was nervous as we had all sorts of family and friends meeting together so was nervous about how the night would go.
The Food was amazing, the service was fantastic and I cannot thank the Inn enough for how considerate they are, they gave an honest statement about what they would need, how they could handle us and as it turns out it's because they do not want to compromise their extremely high standards.
It is food worth the price, friendly honest service and every guest was extremely happy with their meal. When we returned from our Honeymoon we went back for Sunday Lunch the next day, came away just as happy.
Thank You Folly Inn!! A great venue as long as you book early enough and appreciate they want to give you a great meal in good time.

Myself and my husband had a meal on Sunday evening this past week and it was delicious. The service was faultless and very attentive, we had main courses and desserts with coffee. One of the desserts was slightly cooler so we asked for it to be re-heated and the chef personally delivered a new dessert that was piping hot with apologies. All in all, it was a lovely evening and I will definitely be dining here again and recommending to friends and family that they visit.

Fabulous meal as usual, rarely do three courses but well, you kind of have to here otherwise you feel you're missing out. Enjoyed it so much we were the last to leave. Looking for the next excuse to visit now, so it won't be long!
Had a wonderful celebratory lunch with a friend and was delighted with the food. A particular favourite of mine is the baked camembert- perfect for sharing as a starter or even a luxury cheese course!
Lovely environment to dine with very warm and welcoming staff- 10/10!!

My wife and I paid our second visit to the Folly Inn last week to celebrate my birthday. The food was once again excellent, although on a note of constructive criticism, it would be nice to see a simple steak option. It seems unnecessary to have every meat choice marinated in some sophisticated jus. I'd also like to see some fattening and unfussy sweets for those who have cast aside the diet idea for the night. Having said that - we will be back!

Thanks to all for another great evening. Brilliant service, fantastic food and wine and a lovely atmosphere. The black pudding starter and lamb main are the best I have ever had. The St Emillion was also excellent. Whilst we have been before, this was a first time birthday treat for one of our party and she was totally blown away by the food and service. It was great to meet the Chef afterwards and it is clear he has great passion for his food. Thank you all for a lovely evening and we hope to see you again soon.

Booked a table for two on 21st Feb...we were greeted by friendly smiley faces, although we were early we could sit in a nice area by the bar, our table was situated well and although the folly was small and full we did not feel overwhelmed by the other customers it was great....the food now what can I say about the food....one word 'FANTASTIC'...I would recommend all my friends and family to definitely visit the Folly as we most definitely will.

Booked a table on a Thursday evening for a birthday meal and was pleased to see how popular the restaurant was. There was a good choice of food on the menu. It was all well cooked and presented. There is a quite comprehensive gluten free menu as well. Nice touch of a free dessert for the birthday boy as well. A very enjoyable evening and we will return.

Thank you to everyone at The a Folly for a wonderful meal yesterday. This was the second time that we have enjoyed a delicious meal, excellent service and cosy atmosphere at The Folly. My son and his girlfriend gave us a gift voucher at Christmas to enjoy a meal at The Folly... I hope he does the same this Christmas. Best meal out locally.

A little gem of a place. You will not be disappointed with this lovely gastropub. Both the food and the service are second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for the front of house staff and the chef and his team put out very tasty and delicious food, which we feel is cooked from the heart and with passion. We will be back again very soon. Thank you.

My Son, Daughter and I had another thoroughly enjoyable meal @ the Folly on 18/12. A warm welcome was received on arrival with prompt offer of a drink whilst we awaited my son.
The Menu was up to the usual high standard, excellent choices across all 3 courses. We all plumped for the Whitebait as a starter based on previous enjoyment but all 3 of us chose a new and different Main. None of us were disappointed, my Daughter said after she'd finished her Guinea Fowl, 'that's best meal I've had for such a long time'. My son and I both agreed.
The Folly will never be a cheap meal but in terms of value for money it remains our favourite and the best Pub/Restaurant in Towcester and surrounding area.

Dined there twice in one week, one evening and one lunch time. The evening one was the Christmas meal, probably the best one I have ever had in a restaurant, everything was superb. My lunch meal was different to what I would normally have, an indulgence for me, ham eggs and the best chips ever. The staff are always attentive but not intrusive. I love the place

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. A great way to spend my birthday with friends. We hadn't been before but heard great things and wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere was great, intimate and friendly, staff were attentive but not too over the top and the food, well, that was excellent. I tried all mains, venison, pork belly, guinea fowl and all were beautiful and as for the desert platter that was divine. Would highly recommend and will certainly be back.

We have recently moved to Towcester and have wanted to try out the Folly Inn since. The food was amazing as was the service. So much so that my fiance is going back this Friday with his family the night before our wedding.
Chose Folly Inn after driving past it on numerous occasions and thinking how lovely it looked. Booked for our wedding anniversary. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was prompt and efficient and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely book again. Jason and Kerry. Visited 9 August 2014

Absolutely lovely lunch. Children's menu is small but well thought out and the burger with chips was great quality. We chose the Folly Ploughmans which was a delicious assortment of usual components complimented by some lovely extras and fantastic fresh crusty bread. We finished off with pud and for me the best chocolate & rum creme brûlée I've ever tasted. We were all made very welcome, especially our dog who was happy to get some attention too. Thank you to everyone for a really lovely lunch experience we'll definitely be back.

I would highly recommend visiting The Folly Inn.
The food is delicious with a varied menu. The staff are more than welcoming and went out of their way on our visit as we arrived slightly after last meal orders. The Chef, David had no problems at all in firing up his grill again to supply us with our steaks.
I tried The Folly trio for dessert which was a sample dish of 3 of the favourites and it was delicious.
I would definitely recommend and will definitely revisit.

We went to The Folly on Saturday evening and the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.
Last Tuesday I went to The Folly Inn with 2 friends, one visiting from New Zealand, for lunch
The Inn itself made me want to grab my camera and take lots of pictures as it is so attractively thatched and inside has an ambiance and decor both friendly and mellow.
The menu suited me down to the ground and I had difficulty in choosing which of the many dishes that I love I wanted to try. My friend from NZ and I both ordered the salmon and I daringly chose the blue cheese sauce which was exquisite - and also wonderful with the cone of hand made chips I indulged in. The accompanying vegetables were beautiful, especially the bundle of green beans wrapped in Palma Ham.
I took some photographs because the food looked so decorative and enticing.
The fish cakes not only looked wonderful but were also incredible according to the third member of our party.
I really wish I lived nearer because I would take all my friends there regularly as it is so reasonably priced. Well done Rob!

Today I ate the best fishcakes EVER - salmon & dill with a beautifully light crust. The presentation of all our meals was a feast to the eye, and the tastebuds were equally delighted. Our first visit and we will certainly be back. Lovely service, ambience, very tastefully decorated and completely unpretentious. Loved it! Thank you to the great staff in the kitchen and in the restaurant and bar.

Eight of us travelled from Coventry to have Sunday lunch at the Folly Inn. It was more than worth the journey. Those of us who ordered the slow roasted pork thought it was the most flavoursome we had ever eaten others had beef which was also excellent. Lovely starters and delicious desserts, a thoroughly fine lunch, only whish it was closer!
