A big thank you to The Folly team. Another great lunch! This is now a regular date in our diary each month. We both love the fish and chips , but this time I tried the chicken fricasse. It was absolutely delicious. Great service too. Highly recommended @

Many thanks again

Enjoyed an excellent lunch yesterday - twice baked cheese soufflé wonderful and fish & chips were the best! We can never fault the service and food at The Folly so a big thank you to Robert, David and the rest of the team. Continue to tell people yours is the best restaurant around!! See you again soon, I am sure!!!

We popped in for a before cinema meal and ate from the fixed price menu. As always great food and great service.

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.

I can only reiterate my message on the 29th September - excellent meal, good value, good service, very good atmosphere and never disappoints.

Yet another great meal at the Folly. It was a celebration of my wife’s birthday. As always food and service was great.
Posted on
The welcome, the courtesy and the excellent service from the attentive and hardworking staff all add up to making eating at the Folly, the pleasure it is.
Posted on
Lovely meal thank you and especially for ringing me at home when I and my guests did not appear as per our booking time - oops! We had not realised our clock had stopped - when we arrived you were welcoming, and patient and our meal was lovely - service going the extra mile 👍🏻
Posted on
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.

We celebrated my husbands birthday with a lovely meal at the Folly. The food as usual was excellent. The atmosphere is relaxing with no rush. we always receive a warm welcome and good service. Thank you.
Posted on
Celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary last Wednesday. Food and service excellent as usual. Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely lunch yesterday with special allergy respected, and imaginative menu.
Much appreciated by myself and two daughters.

Great Sunday lunch again with super service. So nice to find a local place that serves such good food!
Posted on
Introduced to 'The Folly' by friends who brought us here for my 70th Birthday back in June of this year. All the family including our two year old grandson came for my wife's 70th Birthday last Sunday. The food was excellent and apart from reminding staff about a side order and a pint of beer that didn't arrive, a great evening was had by all.
Posted on
Thank you for a fantastic service and absolutely delicious food on Friday. From starters to dessert our food was amazing, all staff were courteous and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the welcoming, warm atmosphere. Top marks for everything! Thank you!
Posted on
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.
Posted on
My friend Linda & I meet up regularly and since discovering the Folly think we're on our 5th visit. Food Always excellent, staff very friendly and welcoming and we always pay our compliments to the chef(s) so hope he gets them as they are well deserved. Lovely place clean light and a nice atmosphere. See you soon
Posted on
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!
Posted on
Came here on the 18th July with my partner and his sister. Excellent meals, excellent service. Partners sister very impressed. We always are when we visit. One of our favourite places to eat.
Posted on
Came here to celebrate my husbands 60th Birthday. Food was superb and staff where very friendly. We look forward to returning.
Posted on

Many thanks for a wonderful Sunday lunch and, especially for resurrecting the guinea fowl... a real treat!

Everything first class as usual, beautiful food, both in presentation and taste.
Lovely place to eat, thanks to all the staff

Another superb meal to celebrate my birthday. The souffle starter was amazing and the meal generally excellent quality, beautifully presented and very good value for money. Probably our 8th or 9th visit and it never disappoints.
Posted on
Friends introduced us to The Folly and we have returned several times since and brought family along too. Service impeccable and food delicious, every time. I could not recommend this restaurant highly enough.
Posted on
Lovely Birthday meal on 24th May; food was fabulous. We were able to introduce friends to your restaurant who were very impressed. The food never fails to deliver and service is impeccable.
Posted on
First time visit since we left Towcester a number of years ago - we clearly missed something as this was a very good experience.
Sunday lunch on the 19 May 2019 - both the food & service were excellent
Posted on
Had dinner with my wife Sam and my sister and brother-in-law. Great company, lovely surroundings and superb food.
Thanks for hosting us and we hope to see you again soon.

Staff excellent as usual.
A wonderful experience.

Thank you an enjoyable evening, good food, and accommodating our last minute guest.
Posted on
A really enjoyable meal, some of the best scallops I’ve had in a long time and the duck was also as well cooked as I’ve had In some time. Thank you to all the staff and we will be sure to visit again soon.
Posted on
A family gathering on Sunday, 28th April to celebrate a birthday. Robert & staff were very welcoming, friendly & obliging, giving excellent service. Good food & atmosphere, enjoyed by us all.
Many thanks!
Posted on
An excellent meal with friends. Food was delicious though the beetroot starter was not very generous portion. Main dishes were superb. Thank you.
Posted on
27-4-19, halfway meet for family, beautiful place, very clean and very nicely decorated. The food was faultless and good value for money. Staff did what they needed to do without being fussy and forever asking if everything was ok. Planning another get together sometime towards the end of summer, can highly recommend this lovely little gem, thank you
Posted on
Once again another great meal at The Folly on Wednesday evening. The food and service were, if anything, of an even higher standard than usual. Thank you to all involved.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Been to the Folly 3 times so far, mid week set menu lunch and 1 Sunday roasts...great food and brilliant staff and so am booked back in again for Sunday lunch with my mum! A definite winner every time.
Posted on
I have now had three meals at The Folly and have booked in for two more with different people accompanying me. This in itself is an indication of my appreciation of this restaurant, it's staff and it's delicious cuisine.
The service is polite, courteous and friendly. The environment is congenial and comfortable with an excellent atmosphere. The food is beautifully cooked, presented and served and I cannot fault my experience. Proper fine dining with sensible portion sizes. At last!
Thank you to Robert and the team. I will be a regular!
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Meet here every six months with my school friends from years ago! Superb food and service. The Hash starter with pulled pork and scotch egg is the best starter I have ever tasted. Thank you for a lovely lunch.
Posted on
Absolutely wonderful food, top quality was the best meal I’ve had for a very long time! Will definitely be returning. Thank you.
Posted on
Thank you for a wonderful Mothering Sunday lunch, super food, attentive service and a lovely bunch of daffodils! The roast was fabulous, please keep the Tiramisu on the menu - it was delicious.
Posted on
Fantastic food which was beautifully cooked and presented. The service was friendly and efficient. A wonderful evening to celebrate a 70th Birthday. Thank you to all the staff and particularly Chef!
Posted on
As always it was a great meal with friendly service. The food is just superb....
Posted on
The folly really is one of our favourite places to eat. The food and service is always exceptional!
Posted on
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.
Posted on
We went Tuesday evening to celebrate a friends birthday - The Folly is her favourite restaurant and it did not disappoint! The menu is so extensive we had a hard time choosing and our choices were superb. I rarely eat 3 courses but couldn't resist the soup which was delicious, as was everything else.
The service was good and not at all intrusive, well done everyone.
Posted on
Visited for a business lunch last week. All really lovely as usual, food, service,atmosphere, all great. Many thanks as always
Posted on
We came to the Folly for Sunday lunch having visited you several years ago.The staff were friendly and attentive.The meat was cooked to perfection but the plate of food lacked colour which would have made it more enticing.There was a lack of vegetables which I feel would have given colour to the plate.I did mention this as I left.
Posted on
Fabulous meal (again!) with superb starters and the best Salmon en Croute ever, with impeccable service. A 30 minute drive from where we live in Northamptonshire but well worth it, every time. Please don't let the Chef leave - ever!
Posted on
Fabulous Sunday lunch, friendly, professional & attentive staff that really make the place work, food was excellent along with a lovely atmosphere, looking forward to returning one Friday/Saturday evening
Posted on
We invited friends to join us yesterday for Sunday lunch. The meal was excellent, staff attentive what more could you ask for!

Such a lovely restaurant, can't wait to come back.

Posted on
Had dinner on Sunday. The service was fantastic and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back soon!
Posted on
Sunday lunch yesterday was, as usual, excellent! The meat and vegetables were delicious and I think I had the largest Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen! The service was friendly and very professional. Thank you so much to all the staff. And all the best to you for 2019!
Posted on
Having Christmas lunch at The Folly was a real high point of our Christmas Day. Our welcome was very personal, the food was superb and the overall atmosphere really good. Our compliments go from Front of House to the unseen Chef and his staff n the kitchen. Everything we experienced accorded with the high reputation that The Folly holds in the local area. Thank you and a very Happy New Year to you Robert and all your staff.

Fabulous food and excellent service, cannot wait to go back

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone, see you again in 2019.

Once again all 6 in our party enjoyed a treat of a Christmas meal at The Folly. The food was all superb...whether chosen from the Seasonal menu or À-la-carte; the service friendly and on-point and the ambience cosy and Christmassy.
Wishing you and all your great team of staff.....seen and unseen......a very Merry Christmas and we shall be back for more in 2019!

Had the most amazing meal. Food was as always outstanding. Fabulous waiter who had great knowledge of your beer and had a lovely personality
Posted on
this was the second time that we have dined at The Folly . The food was again excellent , well presented and delicious.
the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Posted on
Dined here as a pre Christmas treat with my mum. We chose from the set menu (although the a la carte was tempting). The food was wonderful. It's not often I see mum clear her plate these days but she did this time. Service as ever was first class. Can't wait to dine here again.
Posted on
We visited here as a central meeting place for a girls reunion and couldn't have chosen a better restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent and we were given time to eat and chat, not rushed at all. We definitely recommend The Folly and will certainly visit again.
Posted on
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!
Posted on
My husband and family had lunch at The Folly a few weeks ago, unfortunately I was working and couldn't join them. They raved about the meal, so on my first Sunday off, I booked for lunch and was blown away by the delicious food!!! Thank you to all the very friendly staff for making it a great experience. We will certainly be back for the meal and the VERY tasty sticky toffee pudding!!! Thank you Folly
Posted on
Another lovely meal on Friday evening, you never let us down. Many thanks.
Posted on
As always, a fabulous dinner. Sadly our last as we're moving away.
Posted on
Had a family meal for my partners 30th. Everybody enjoyed their food even our 3 year old son!
We will defonately be returning soon!
Posted on
Met my daughter in law & granddaughter at The Folly last Friday for lunch. Have not been there before- just noticed it when driving past & booked online. I had problems due to the roadworks & was late. The staff were lovely & really helpful- they even drew me a map showing how I could bypass the road works in Towcester. Food excellent- will definitely go again when in the area.
Posted on
Outstanding food in delightful surroundings
Posted on
Once again a fantastic meal. Service excellent and friendly staff.
Posted on
Great meal thank you
Posted on
Lovely lunch at the Folly on 18/10/18 for my father’s 80th birthday. All three courses were excellent.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Lovely meal at the folly this weekend. As usual the staff and food was exceptional! Can’t wait to come back again soon!
Posted on
A lovely evening with friends. The meal was lovely and the staff were too.
We will definitely be coming back.
Thank you

When I arrived on Thursday I explained I found The Folly online as I needed to arrange a business lunch. I couldn't have picked better; wonderful service, fantastic food and a lovely restaurant. Thank you.
Posted on
As usual a top class meal on Wednesday; when I come to The Folly I often bring friends from other parts of the UK and occasionally from overseas and they are always impressed, making complimentary comments about your menu and the quality of the food. Many thanks.
Posted on
Had a lovely meal for our 5th wedding anniversary on the 11 October. Wonderful atmosphere, very welcoming and the food was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit!
Thank you!

Family group of seven had lunch at The Folly on 11 October and we were very impressed by the warmth of the welcome, the excellent service and the high quality of the food. It's a place we'd strongly recommend.
Posted on
A lovely birthday lunch for my 98 year old mum and her 'little' brother of 85 years! Great food of a very high quality as always.
Posted on
Birthday lunch for a friend. Set lunch menu. The food is top quality, best around this area. Had a lovely lunch :)
Posted on
Very good birthday meal - staff extremely helpful and accommodating. Excellent value for money.
Posted on
Fabulous meal. Portions were of a good size, menu was tempting & had lots to offer. Beautifully presented & cooked to perfection we had a wonderful evening. Service was quick & friendly. Nothing to fault & if we are anywhere local again we will be back. Highly recommend.
Posted on
A lovely Saturday lunch which should've been a celebration for my 92 year old Mum, but instead she spent her birthday in Northampton General! Nevertheless three of us decided not a waste the booking and had an enjoyable meal with good, friendly service. I hope we can bring Mum another day. Many thanks
Posted on
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
Posted on
Our group of 8 had sunday lunch recently, on a busy lunchtime service was very friendly and quick. the food was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful meal
Posted on
Visited at lunchtime for my birthday following a recommendation. We were not disappointed the whole experience was lovely. Looking forward to going back again soon
Posted on
Excellent food, great ambiance, and great service (with a sense of humour) from the team. Our first visit to the restaurant, and frankly can't wait to visit again !
Posted on
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

Wonderful atmosphere and wonderful food. Spent our wedding anniversary here Saturday night, was busy but we still received the very best service. Thank you
Posted on
Lovely staff, attentive service, interesting menu and fabulous food. The Folly is everything a restaurant should be. We will be certainly come back next time we're in the area.
Posted on
We had a lovely meal on Saturday evening
thank you
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Lovely birthday meal on Sunday for my Dad, will be sure to come again.
Great food and great staff
Thank you
Posted on
Another lovely meal at the Folly - we visit Silverstone once a year and always book a meal at the Folly.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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. The cheese souffle was delicious and the belly of pork and venison mains were stunning. We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Thank you all so much for a lovely evening.
Posted on
First visit to this welcoming restaurant, food and service excellent.
A very pleasant evening with friends, we shall return.

We will definitely be coming back.
Thank you

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.
Posted on
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!
Posted on
Excellent meal and service as always. Our very favourite place to eat.
Posted on
Had an excellent meal and staff were great too. This was a special occasion for my friend who is in her 80th year and me in my 70th year, so am glad the meal went well. Will certainly visit again in the future.
Posted on
Had a super lunch again - both myself and my guest really enjoyed our meals
Staff were excellent too as usual
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Excellent service, impeccable food, thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.
Posted on
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?

Came here for a meal before the races. Thought the food would be good from previous reviews and we were not disappointed. I've eaten in some good restaurants in my time and this food is batting at Michelin star standards. Great flavour combinations. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

As usual superb food and service. Can always rely on a great meal at The Folly. Brought friends with us who were 'new' to The Folly and they too remarked on how good the food was.

Came for the first time to meet a friend for lunch and we had a pleasant time. The seating was comfortable, the staff very helpful and the food was good. We moved outside for coffee and were able to sit with my dog in the garden. Thank you.

Another excellent meal at The Folly last night. Very attentive staff and great food
Posted on
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!
Posted on
Wonderful food and service on both visits this week to The Folly.
The service award was clearly deserved, and I expect more will follow.
This will now be our first choice restuarant whenever we’re in the area.
Thank you.
Posted on
Booked for a famil lunch on Saturday. Delicious meal as always and staff were very attentive. Also like the fact that you can easily book a table on line provided you don’t mind confirming with a credit card.£

We visited Saturday for our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit, it will not be our last. The food was superb and could not be faulted.( The pulled pork & black pudding hash along with fillet of beef were delightful) The staff were friendly and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit.
Posted on
Booked a table for 15 & ended up being 16 of us, which wasn’t a problem for the staff. We had a lovely meal as we always do at The Folly. Staff very attentive.

Visited this Sunday with my family and friends we all had Sunday Roast which was enjoyed by us all. Staff were friendly and courteous. Would definitely return if we are down that way again in the future.

Ideal central venue for our get together after 3 years ...traveling from Loughborough, Northampton and Oxford. .. Excellent food, very efficient , attentive and extremely friendly service. Thoroughly enjoyable ...

Another absolutely excellent meal. Mick made things so much more enjoyable by his extensive local knowledge. Where is tbe "folly" on the wall by table 7?
One day perhaps, the cutlery will match the hivh level of the cuisine. But, there speaks a Sheffield lad!
Thank you.

Myself and my family thoroughly enjoyed our get together Sunday. The food was faultless, everyone made positive comments, which says a lot as we all love our food. The staff were also well presented and so lovely. Thank you

Fabulous service and food - I would recommend The Folly to anyone.

Another wonderful lunch on Tuesday. Fabulous service and simply sublime food. We were so taken with the food that we asked to speak to the chef. David was more than happy to come out and chat which was a real treat for us as foodies. This really is an amazing restaurant serving food that in my eyes is at least worthy of two AA rosettes if not more!
Posted on
Great meal and very friendly staff. I visited with my parents, and have just booked again, this time for a party of 8, to celebrate their 60 wedding anniversary.

Lovely Sunday lunch, friendly service and atmosphere. Our first time here, but it won’t be the last.

Great food and a very welcoming team - many thanks.

I really wish I could complain about something but I can’t.
I have taken so many people to The Folly over the last couple of years almost hoping that someone will identify a flaw that I have missed...... nah, it not happening !
The service is perfect, the staff are attentive without being suffocating and the food is stunning.
Definately my favourite eatery within a 50 mile radius.
Thanks All ????

Went to the Folly for Valentines Day Dinner. Great food, glass of Prosecco, balloon and Lindt chocolates all included. Great evening
Posted on
Another excellent meal at this local restaurant. The Valentine's Menu was interesting, thought provoking and as it is to be expected at The Folly delicious. Friendly staff, Lucy is particularly worth a mention, and service at a pace which makes for a relaxed and convivial evening. Thanks again Robert, David and your Team, until next time!
Posted on
We would recommend this fabulous restaurant. The food was absolutely perfect and the service was warm, friendly and first class. This is the first restaurant that we have walked away from and cleared our plates. Top quality food at very reasonable prices. We travelled 20 miles for our visit and we most definitely will be returning. Thank you Folly and The Team
Posted on
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'

The Folly is our special occasion restaurant. The food, service, atmosphere and staff are all delightful. Thank you, Robert, for yet another excellent meal.

Just fantastic as usual.
that is very soon...????

Loved all of it. Atmosphere, decor, staff, food and value were fantastic!! Couldn't fault anything. Would recommend anyone staying at Whittlebury Hall to try this great restaurant which is just a short taxi ride. Thank you very much to all staff at The Folly.
Posted on
Beautiful food, attentive service, excellent presentation, minor improvement would be a little more room between tables, as waiting staff were having difficulty reaching the back of the adjoining table we will be back thank you
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.

Robert
The charm of your delightful restaurant is matched by the quality of your food and the service your guests receive.
If it were not for strong family ties here in Surrey, we would be tempted to buy one of those houses being built on your doorstep!
Congratulations on all accolades so truly deserved!

I meet up with an old school friend for lunch on a regular basis and the Folly is mid-way between our homes. The food and service is consistently excellent. The venue is always inviting and the menu keeps track of the seasons. Our next visit will be sometime in March. A huge vote thanks for this wonderful pub.
Posted on
A lovely sunday lunch today; a couple of small improvements such as the size of the table (too small for 5) and the portion size of the chicken Kiev (too small and not enough potato and veg) but the food we DID have was beautifully presented, very tasty and we will definitely be back
Posted on
I think the reviews speak for themselves. The restaurant is always buzzing with atmosphere. The food and service is excellent and definitely one of the best restaurants in the area.
Posted on
We had lunch today with friends and it was very good. Only small complaint.....and it is a small one.......hate small paper napkins! Everything else excellent. Will return.
Posted on
This is my 'Go To' place for Sunday lunch . The food is always beautifully presented, freshly cooked and delicious. The service is always excellent thanks to the friendly and efficient team and Rob is very welcoming. Have also eaten here on several occasions for dinner and you have never failed to impress with an excellent menu choice. Highly recommended but would advise people to book as word is clearly spreading!
Posted on
We have eaten at The Folly on a few occasions now
The food is delicious , with the portion size just right
The fixed price lunch menu is extremely good value for money
We will definitely be returning

Merry Christmas to you all.
We will be back in the new year.

We ate on 16th December, not the first time nor will it be the last. The six of us had delicious meals, friendly service and the price is reasonable. So glad we found this haven of delight, we know we won't be disappointed.
Posted on
Selected The Folly to have our Christmas Dinner as it is by far the best restaurant in the area and none of us were disappointed. We selected from both the Christmas and the A la carte menus and the showstoppers were the Cheddar soufflé starter and the Gressingham duck which was perfectly cooked......just beautiful !
Will be back after New Year!! Delicious food and attentive service as always. Merry Christmas to all the staff....great evening.

This was the first time we had eaten here and the food was excellent , good friendly service and at a reasonable price.
We will be eating here again.

Dear all, once again you hit the heights.

It’s great to know that when you bring people who have never visited The Folly before, you KNOW without question that they will enjoy it.
Thanks again and looking forward to our next visit.

I wanted to congratulate you on your awards. We first came to The Folly to celebrate my 60th birthday in August and we're hugely impressed. Best restaurant and service awards are totally warranted for you!

Mum and I came for lunch to celebrate her birthday. The menu is super, really inventive, lovely flavours which compliment each other. The staff are welcoming and attentive, the restaurant is clean and comfortable. We both enjoyed a 3 course lunch and mum had a birthday candle with her desert. Thank you Robert and your staff, we will see you again soon x
Posted on
My first visit to The Folly for a relaxed business evening meal. Well worthy of their awards. Food was excellent and ambiance calm and relaxed which was perfect for our needs. The staff were attentive but not imposing and there was no pressure to rush despite a busy evening.
Highly recommended
Posted on
My favourite place to dine out.
Excellent food and service.
Any excuse and I’m at The Folly!
Posted on
We've eaten here previously although never Sunday lunch but I have to say it was every bit as good as previous visits. The food was beautifully cooked and the service excellent. One of the best if not THE best restaurant in the area
Posted on
Our first experience of Sunday lunch, although have eaten on other occasions, at the Folly and once again had a delicious meal. Impressive Yorkshire puddings and superb sticky toffee pudding. We also loved the birthday candle in my wife's pudding as we were there on her birthday, thank you!
Posted on
We were celebrating our anniversary with our son and daughterinlaw we had been to the folly before but my son and wife had not they were very impressed so much so we booked for a Christmas dinner on our way out,and looking forward to our next fantastic meal.Thanks to all at the Folly.
Posted on
I booked lunch for myself and my husbands third wedding anniversary and I am so glad we chose The Folly. 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.
Posted on
Another very pleasant evening at the Folly. Posh Fish and Chips and the Guinness and Steak pie went down very well.
A nice warm and friendly atmosphere
Posted on
This was our first trip to The Folly and we LOVED it! (It certainly won't be our last). We're vegetarians and we had the roast vegetarian lunch which was delicious; the service was excellent; the ale was very good (Bell Ringer) and the ambiance was relaxed and friendly. Highly recommended.
Posted on
Haven’t been to the Folly for awhile due to the A5 roadworks rather than anything else but a group of us girls returned to celebrate a birthday and we weren’t disappointed.
We all ordered five different meals and they were all excellent.
Barely had room for pudding but some of us managed it and they were as good as the main course.
Service excellent too
Will definitely be returning. Thank you
Posted on
thank you so much for a great evening.
it was a great way to celebrate my daughters birthday.
the food was fantastic and the service excellent.
we are not close, but if we are ever in this area again we will definitely be back
Posted on
Rob and his excellent team have done it again!
We have been regular visitors to The Folly for the past three years, sometimes taking friends, and have always been very impressed by the quality of food and the very friendly helpful and efficient staff. Apart from all that, we just love comfort and tranquility of the place, (hard to find these days).
Our most recent visit, 24th October, was a treat for friends celebrating 30th wedding anniversary. Huge success, outstanding meal.
Thank you all at The Folly and good luck in the forthcoming Food & Drink Awards.

We brought friends here on Friday and were delighted with the food as always.
The service in the new look dining room has improved greatly.
Our friends were most impressed all round and will no doubt be back very soon

Daughters flew in for my special birthday meal which I chose to spend at The Folly. We were not disappointed. Lovely food, brilliant service and a relaxing atmosphere.
I anticipate many more happy evenings here.

First visit to The Folly (on the recommendation of friend). Fabulous food, absolutely mouth-watering!
The staff were superb - very attentive and friendly, never felt rushed at all - made us feel very welcome. Thank you to to everyone (especially the young lady that served us - made the visit very enjoyable)
Posted on
We are never disappointed with our meals, beautifully presented and always very enjoyable so much so that you have to book in plenty of time if you want to eat on Friday or Saturday evenings
Posted on
Another flawless meal at the Folly Inn. It's always our choice for a special night and never fails to deliver on quality of food, service and ambiance. Thanks to all the team!
Posted on
I visited for the first time last night for a birthday meal with my daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was attentive and friendly without being over the top, and the food was lovely. Being new the area, I am pleased to have found The Folly and will definitely be back.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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 .
Posted on
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 a lovely meal on Saturday night. At the end of the evening the chef came out. Compliments to him and also all if the staff. A great friendly place to eat.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch and as always the food wad excellent with great service from great staff. A truly wonderful meal.

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.
Posted on
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!

Had a fantastic meal with my family Saturday lunchtime. The service was great, food served in good time and was delicious.
Very happy to recommend.
I tried to record this on trip advisor but the web site was playing up and I couldn't log in.

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.
Posted on
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!!!
Posted on
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 :-)
Posted on
We have just had our first visit to the Folly...what a find! We were greeted on arrival by a very friendly team,lots of smiles!
The menu is small but perfectly formed! The portions were huge and the taste...... definitely will be back !
Well worth a visit.

Following a visit to National Trust at Stowe we had Sunday Lunch at this marvellous jewel in Towcester.
We were warmly welcomed and shown to a delightful table in lovely dining area. Service and cuisine was excellent and although we live in Surrey.....we will certainly be back.
Thank you so much for making our day.

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!
Posted on
The Folly has become one of our favourite restaurants.
The food is superb and the service and friendly atmosphere are hard to beat. We took our visitors on Saturday and they were blown away by the great meals they had and him indoors complimented the chef on the grouse.
Brilliant as usual.

Went here with my wife for our 2 year wedding anniversary. We were looking for something intimate with good food and pleasant people, and i think it's safe to say the The Folly exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Went to the Folly after a driving experience at Silverston, staff were lovely and the food delicious. The ordering bit was tricky as everything looked delicious and proof in the pudding, from all that we finally choose, it was!
Posted on
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!
Posted on
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 .
Posted on
Yet again, the Folly Inn did not dissapoint. We were a party of 14 celebrating the marriage of our Daughter the next day.
The food, as usual was excellent. The service was faultless.
Everyone in the party was extremely impressed.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
This was our first time here, we went on a Sunday so took advantage of the Roast and it didnt disappoint.
Highly recommend this place food was excellent, Staff where friendly and left you to enjoy your food unlike some places being asked every mouthful if everything is okay.
We will deffiantly be returning to check out the mid week menu.
Posted on
This was our first visit and we will be back! The food was gorgeous, good menu choices and the atmosphere was lovely. We recommend The Folly and thank you to the staff for the excellent service. We had a lovely evening.

Excellent meal on 25.07.2017 to celebrate my husbands birthday. All four of us managed three courses which were all demolished with gusto. We love the food, and the surroundings and the friendly service.
Posted on
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. All in all, we had an ansolutely wonderful time and will definitely return. Highly recommended.

My wife (Lisa) and I came to eat on Tuesday 18/07. We have nothing but praise for the whole evening.
Great atmosphere, enterprising menu, charming and amusing host, great food. Simply the best evening we have had for a long time.
Well done to all concerned - we will be back!!
Posted on
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
Posted on
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
Posted on
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.

First time visitors to celebrate my wife Junes birthday, we had a great night. The venue is comfortable and welcoming, the staff were first class, friendly with an attention to detail.
However, we both felt that the food was of an extremely high standard, as good as we have eaten anywhere...
Thanks for a great night we will definitely be back..

The Folly has become our first choice for lunch when we are visiting family in Towcester. Great food accompanied by friendly and professional service. We'll definitely be back for more.

My wife and I visited the Folly Inn to celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 8th of June 2017. We choose The Folly Inn three or four times a year for special celebrations because we know that we are guaranteed the very best tasting food and superb friendly service.
Once again we were not disappointed.
Well done Folly Inn team!!

Towcester Centurion's - Annual Golf Dinner
Our party visited newly refurbished restaurant on Sat 10th June. Meal was excellent with good menu choice, quality and presentation combined with friendly service. The Black pudding & potato hash topped with a breaded poached egg was a great starter and my favorite. Compliments all round and well worth a return visit was the consensus from us all. Thank you on behalf of Centurion's & partners.

Visited on Thursday 8th of June first visit since refurb, love all the old pictures of Towcester and the new colour scheme looks fab.
Our food was absolutely outstanding, the calves liver was delicious the flavours all came together so well, was concerned about the beetroot tops but wow they so worked well.
Will definitely be recommending you to others as always.
Thanks to all the staff for great service and hospitality.
Posted on
First visit since the refurb......so much lighter with the updated colour scheme and furnishings. Particularly loved all the old photos of Towcester!
As ever the food was superb....the hake was beautiful and the rabbit terrine delicious. All 4 of us were impressed with the dishes we had chosen .....well cooked, artistically yet unpretentiously presented. Highly recommended!

Again a very enjoyable meal, the new decor has enhanced the charm of the Folly. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Richard, David and all the team.

Lovely venue, charming service and excellent food. Most amazing Beef Wellington I have ever had, although would have loved to be able to order an additional side of another vegetable. Hadn't appreciated that it was your first night opening after the first stage of refurbishment, I am struggle with smell of fresh paint, but the overall experience was lovely. Thank you.

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.

Every time we have passed The Folly Inn near Towcester my husband has commented what a beautiful pub and how he always wanted to have a meal there. I booked a surprise meal for him to celebrate his Birthday. What a fabulous place this is. Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff and out of this world food. I had the slow cooked Pork Belly and it was sublime. The rest of the party enjoyed their meals equally. Thank you The Folly Inn for such a wonderful evening - we will be back (many more times hopefully) xx

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.
Posted on
Wonderful Christmas lunch, great food, lovely atmosphere, smashing attentive staff. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

How many stars can you give a restaurant, because this one gets top marks for service and food excellence!!! Our party of 6 all raved about their meals, AGAIN, but I was astounded by just how good the venison pie was. Next time I will have another for dessert! Highly recommended!

An excellent meal, 9 of us enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Lunch, I had the Whitebait and Duck which were delicious , the Belly Pork I understand was lean/tasty and did have crisp crackling. 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

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
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Seven of us had a delicious Sunday lunch here recently. The main courses were very generous and the brisket of beef was so tender it just fell apart. I wish I hadn't shared my chocolate and walnut tart with my daughter as I had to fight her for some! Looking forward to our next visit.
Posted on
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!!!
Posted on
The gentlemen on my initial call was very accommodating for a booking of 6 people for Sunday lunch at shortish notice. Everyone enjoyed the superb food and the service was incredible. A lovely lady catered to all our different needs from my octagenerian parents- in-law down to my weary early teens who were weary from a night hike. A ver memorable meal, thanks to you all.
Posted on
We enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal here on Friday night and the service was excellent. Thankyou! We will be back.

Fantastic lunch, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, especially when helping me with my dietary restrictions (Gluten free and lactose free options were easily accommodated)
We will definitely be returning, a fantastic gastro pub!

Last night's jazz supper was a feast for the ears as well as the taste buds. All three of my guests thoroughly enjoyed their meal and we look forward to more top quality jazz in the future. There was a lovely atmosphere and the service was excellent too. Thanks to all concerned.

Hello Everyone
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.
Posted on
Our second visit, just as good as the first! Lovely food and really good service. Excellent gluten free menu. We definitely hope to come again.

We were visiting Silverstone and decided to have lunch in the area. Chanced upon Folly Inn and what a wonderful find. Charming space, good food and service. Would go back and recommend.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Took a guest for a meal. He absolutely loved both the food and the atmosphere, as do I.
Loved the Pulled Pork starter. Very clever and delicious. Have to have it each time I go.
Congratulations to all the staff for great service.

Excellent food, fab service. Throughly recommend.

Took my parents for the first time, celebrating my Fathers Birthday.
They had previously heard of our affection for The Folly.
As always, the ambience coupled with exquisite food and excellent service made for a very enjoyable evening.
I guess we'll be returning with them again and again....
My personal faves are the pulled pork and black pudding starter; finishing with the panacotta.

Once again Robert and the team excelled in all departments to create a lovely night celebrating my retirement with my wife and friends. The added bonus was the lovely singer who accompanied our dining throughout the night. Splendid evening and hopefully won't be too long before we return. It's a joy to experience the whole package and would recommend anyone. This is certainly no folly. This FOLLY has a definite reason for being. Thank you again.

Eventually we made it back to The Folly after a couple of bookings had to be cancelled due to external factors; the wait was worthwhile. Excellent atmosphere, excellent service, excellent food and we hope that our next visit will be sooner rather than later.

I have lost count of the truly outstanding meals we have had at The Folly; always utterly delectable. But it isn't just the food; the restaurant itself, the wonderful staff; Just wonderful. My last visit was with family visiting from Australia. They were captivated by everything The Folly had to offer. One would have to be pretty jaded to not love this place. Can't wait to return.

Worth waiting for, a fabulous risotto. A lovely evening for us all
Posted on
Despite me making an error with the booking and turning up 24 hours late, the team managed to find us a table despite being full, and served us the most delicious dinner - the slow roasted lamb was so tender, and my confit duck melted in the mouth. 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.

Friendly service and excellent food. Thank you.

No where else locally to match it.

Visited again for my birthday on 6 April. Brilliant again. Excellent food - the duo of beef was outstanding - combined with excellent front of house and service. Despite deciding against puddings, I got a complimentary scoop of ice cream with a mini-champagne-bottle candle burning brightly on the top. 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.
Posted on
It was our first time at the Folly Inn and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was absolutely exceptional and very reasonably priced. The staff were pleasant and very polite. I would reccomend having a meal at The Folly Inn Towcester.....You wont be disappointed
Posted on
I have eaten at the Folly a few times and have always had a very good experience so decided to book for my husbands birthday for a table of 8. It was the perfect evening. The service was friendly and efficient - all the meals were brought out piping hot and at the same time. The food was presented beautifully, with so much flavour - everyone in the party was very impressed. All in all you really can not fault The Folly: Great service, very high standard food at a very reasonable price. I can certainly say we will be regular visitors and will see you again very soon!
Posted on
Our party of seven was treated to a lovely, relaxing evening. The food and service were perfect, despite us all ordering something different. The Folly team were always there to help but never obtrusive.
Posted on
As always we meal was just gorgeous again the other night . Service throughout was very good, can't imagine you would get such helpful and polite service anywhere else in Towcester. We both had steak and chips, never tried before at The Folly and we will be ordering it again some time soon l should think. We also finished off the the Folly dessert platter which if you like your puds it's to die for. They have recently changed their menus on both main and desserts so we were very happy with our new choices .
Posted on
Once again, great hospitality and a superb meal for the four of us.
Posted on
Excellent meal, very impressed, will definitely go again
Posted on
It was my wife's birthday on 27th March and we celebrated it at the Folly Inn, with our two daughters and husbands. The meal was excellent, staff very efficient, just as it has been on previous visits. We will certainly be back. Many thanks.

Thanks ( we will be back Silverstone Grand Prix weekend )

For the last three years this has been the favoured location for my son's birthday. We had a great time as ever, and the staff were really considerate in making sure we were served so as to get him back to school by the prescribed hour. It is such a great place.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, a great find. Will be back

Once again a fabulous meal at The Folly yesterday. The food, service and relaxed atmosphere were all perfect. Huge thanks to Robert and his great team for making Mother's Day so special for us all. We were all touched by your idea of giving the mum's a gift - thank you.
All 3 of us agree that The Folly is by far the best restaurant in the area. Can't wait to be back dining there again soon!
Posted on
Lovely Mother's Day lunch at the Folly Inn. This was our first time at this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The slow-roasted lamb was delicious. And such a lovely touch to be given flowers by our hosts. Thank you.
Posted on
I live in Doncaster and travel down to Towcester to visit family several times a year. I have never managed to have Lamb off the menu, but at the same time I have always been blown away by the standard of food. Today, well all I can I say is wow !! Lamb was amazing, can't wait to return.
Posted on
8 of us celebrated a late New Year Eve last week end ( 27 Jan) as usual a great dinner. Excellent staff and a very attentive host. Thank you Robert for a very enjoyable evening.
Posted on
Lovely meal again here food great as always was a little disappointed we were sat just outside the restaurant by the bar.

Once again, a lovely meal and great service. One suggestion from my vegetarian friends is to offer more than one vegetarian dish
Posted on
Visited for our Wedding Anniversary and the evening was lovely. Great food and atmosphere, we will definitely return

Excellent meals and service when we took our family to The Folly to celebrate our Golden Wedding.

Posted on
Absolutely spot on as always. Great food and great service. So lucky to have the folly on our doorstep.

The Folly is a wonderful venue making a night out memorable. Excellent meal - as always! The food is fantastic, in fact faultless. I would recommend the Folly.

Enjoyed a very tasty lunch recently- meeting relatives as a half way venue. The welcome was excellent and the attentive service added to the enjoyment. We have been several times to the Folly and have found the high standards have been maintained.
Posted on
Visited your restaurant on 31 Jan for a Sunday lunch for my wife's birthday. The meal was excellent as always, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Best Wishes Mick & Shirley Herbert.
Posted on
We visited the Folly Inn on the 29th January and had an excellent meal with great attentive service. Nothing was rushed and had a great evening celebrating my son and mines birthdays. 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
Posted on
Superb again ! Anybody who has not tried the Folly needs to get along there asap
Posted on
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 staff always make us feel welcome and always go the extra mile to make sure we have everything we need.
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!
Thank you Robert and your team, can't wait till next time.
Posted on
For the past 11years since we moved from London to Northamptonshire we have struggled to find pubs/restaurants serving decent food. We ate at the Folly as a family and really enjoyed it. The staff are also really friendly and attentive. Thank you it's lovely to have a decent pub so near to us. We'll be back again!
Posted on
Excellent, my second visit, will come again!
Posted on
Superb service, excellent knowledge of the dishes. Food was superb, especially the trio of chocolate puds. It was also excellent value as we ordered before 6.15. If you haven't tried it then I would highly recommend it.
Posted on
Lovely service and great food, a really nice mid week business lunch, we took our time and were looked after really well
Posted on
I wonder why we try different places to eat when the service and food is always top notch at the folly !!! Thanks again for another fabulous night out with old friends .ten out of ten yet again
Posted on
Many thanks for keeping twelve omnivores happy Saturday night. Everybody came away full and happy excellent service you have a great team and long may you prosper
Posted on
Always, always so good. Having first visited just by chance, we have been back with friends and family several times since. It could not really be better than it is; any attempts to improve it would likely take away from one of the most splendid places to eat that we have ever visited. To all concerned, a most profound "thank-you" for what you do, for the way that you do it, and for such astonishing value.
Posted on
Excellent lunch for our birthday party of 12 on Sunday 10th Jan. Very many thanks to Rob and the team.
Posted on
We enjoyed a lovely meal at The Folly on Saturday evening. Service was excellent and food was fabulous. This was not our first visit and certainly won't be our last.
Posted on
We had the great pleasure to dine with on 9/01/16 the service we got was excellent and the food was some of the best food we have had in a long time. We will certainly be coming again.

We all had a great meal at the Folly for the boys birthdays on Friday evening. Food was first class as was the service.
Posted on
We had a fantastic evening at the Folly Inn on New Years Eve. The food as usual, was superb, staff were very attentive and lovely
Posted on
Another wonderful meal at the Folly Inn last night. It's our favourite eating place. Always something different on the menu and the meal is an exciting selection of perfectly blended flavours. We surpassed ourselves with the pudding platter for sharing — Wow! It's always a pleasant ambience and the best staff of anywhere I've been. Thank you, everyone.
Posted on
Following family visits I arranged for our firms Christmas dinner at 'The Folly'. Never disappointed, whether 2, 4 or 12 the service and food is superb. Exceptional meal, thanks to your whole team that makes a brilliant night from the minute you walk in.

A wonderful family meal for 11 of us ranging from vegetarian to steaks. All very tasty and beautifully presented by very friendly staff and owner as usual.
Posted on
Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful Christmas Day lunch. It was the exceptional atmosphere , food and service we've experienced that made Christmas 2015 for us.
Posted on
Can't fault the Folly ! Great food and excellent service. This has to be one of the best eating houses in the area.
Posted on
Thank you for the wonderful Christmas lunch last Friday. I missed the occasion last year due to illness so was keen to dine here. I was not disappointed with the food or service.
Posted on
This was our 3rd visit to The Folly since we discovered it in August & as on previous visits it was outstanding! The atmosphere, the warm welcome, the food, the service....I can't fault anything. Looking forward to coming again!!!!
Posted on
Thank you for the excellent lunch on Friday. Superb food, good atmosphere and served by brilliant Sue. We will see you again soon.
Posted on
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!
Posted on
Another visit where we weren't disappointed, another exceptional meal, fantastic ingredients and well thought out menu,
Visited several places over the last few weeks, but this definitely takes some beating.
Fabulous

Christmas Dinner - Tuesday 8th December
I booked for myself and four of my friends for our annual Christmas Dinner get together. The staff were all very lovely and attentive to all of us, nothing was too much trouble and the food was of a superb quality as always. I would highly recommend and would come again. A great experience :) thank you to The Folly and your team for all your hard work!!

Sunday lunch time 6th December - Party of 10. We all had a great time, excellent food served by attentive staff who were able to advise on celiac alternatives. Will be returning, and will be spreading the word "we strongly recommend the Folly"
Posted on
We were a party of 12 and all agreed we had had a really super night at the Folly. The food was all well cooked and excellent value for money. Staff were attentive and prompt to ensure we enjoyed our visit.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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!!
Posted on
A beautifully cooked Sunday lunch as always. We have never eaten at the Folly and had an issue with the food or service. It is always brilliant. What more do you want??
Posted on

Visited on Friday 13th November after being recommended, I was not disappointed! The food was exquisite, the service was great and stocking Veuve Clicquot at a very reasonable price just set the night off. We will be visiting again and bringing friends along!

First visit on Sunday and it will not be the last.
Excellent meals for our party of 9

We go to the Folly on a regular basis, the food is excellent along with the service. A good pub with good food!
Posted on
The Folly Inn is the standard that every pub/restaurant should strive to achieve. Absolutely faultless - a very warm welcome by the staff, followed by a superb meal, cooked to perfection. This was my first visit and was so impressed that I booked for a large family get together with family arriving from Australia next month.

It just gets better each time we go...The staff are just so good, and the food is out of this world.....A must for anyone who enjoys only the best...The Folly is No1.
Posted on
We booked a table for our anniversary, having dined at The Folly previously we knew it would be great. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly as expected, however, the breaks between courses were a little longer than previous visits. This will not stop us returning for the wonderful food and enjoyable visits. Look forward to the next fabulous taste experience.
Posted on
Lovely food and great service, will definitely visit again!
Posted on
Wonderful food brilliant service and fantastic value for money!! Can't wait to visit again.
Posted on
We organised a get together for 7 people when my cousin came down from Edinburgh. We all enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The service was excellent. We will use The Folly again next time we have a get together.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
We dined here with our daughter the evening before she departed for university as it is one of our favourite venues in Towcester. We had a fabulous meal with great service (as usual!)
Posted on
A lovely Sunday lunch. The staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. We will definitely go back and I can certainly recommend it
Posted on
Excellent meal at the Folly one evening at the August Bank Holiday weekend. Will certainly book again next time we're planning to come to Silverstone.
Posted on
Although we have eaten at your restaurant a few times before, it was my first Sunday lunch yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I know my husband and son enjoyed their meal. We came to you knowing that we would not be disappointed especially as I was celebrating my wedding anniversary. Thank you to everyone at the Folly
Posted on
The Folly Inn was recommended to us by someone who hadn't actually been to the restaurant. We weren't disappointed. The food and service was outstanding (even managed to satisfy my very fussy 13 year old!) If we are in the area again we will definitely return to the Folly Inn.
Posted on
Excellent restaurant, 5 star quality and value every course was amazing. Staff very friendly. Will be visiting again soon!

Enjoyed an exceptional meal on Friday 28th August. All courses well cooked and presented beautifully. Service was excellent, waitresses very friendly. Have already recommended it to friends and we will definitely be back.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
We recommended Sunday lunch at The Folly Inn to my brother and sister in law the service was amazing so thoughtfully carried out and the food so delicious starters mains and sweets were worth traveling 40 minutes to get there for. we have been a number of times and will definitely be back so will my brother. Thank you to Rob and your very skilled team
Posted on
The Folly had been recently recommended to us and we very much enjoyed our visit. The service was good and all three courses myself and my husband had were nicely presented and extremely tasty. We will return.
Posted on
We dined at The Folly Inn last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and absolutely loved it. The food was exceptional (we both had the duo of beef), it was tasty, original, and beautifully presented. The service was also of an extremely high standard, whilst also being very warm and welcoming. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be visiting again!
Posted on
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!
Posted on
Pleasant staff, very good food - an enjoyable experiance
Posted on
The food was amazing - a lovely way for us to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Thanks too, to the front of house staff!
Posted on
As always a great meal. The Sunday menu this time which is a first. Our friends who were with us needed a gluten free option which was provided with total confidence and was very well recieved. Well done to you all!!!
Posted on
On Saturday 8th August it was my wifes birthday, and we couldn't think of a better place to have our celebration meal than at the Folly Inn. The Inn and staff are as always FIRST CLASS and always go that extra mile to satisfy their customers.
Thank you Folly Inn, we will be back soon
Posted on
As always, delicious meal.
Posted on
Came for my mum's birthday lunch on the 8th August, although she lives close she had never been. We were all thrilled with the food and the service which really was very special. A big thank you to you all for looking after us so well and we'll be back soon!

My sister and I had our birthday lunch at the Folly. The food was excellent and our waitresses were brilliant - to the point of taking photo's for us so we could remember the day. Thank you.
Posted on
Excellent meal on 5 August. Dined with friends who had not visited The Folly for some years. They were extremely impressed. Thank you once again.
Posted on
An excellent midweek lunch in a most congenial setting. Beautifully served food by friendly courteous staff.
Posted on
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.
Posted on
Had an excellent meal on Saturday night, Service was exceptional. I recommend this restaurant. And we will defiantly be going back .
Posted on
Had a wonderful family meal on Saturday. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. We'll be back!

We had a family lunch on Sunday and everything was absolutely perfect.

This place never disappoints, been on several occasions and the hospitality, ambience and food is second to none, staff are always so friendly and attentive, and the food is cooked to order and is lovely. Keep up the good work - Northamptonshire needs more places like The Folly

Wonderful meal, excellent service and high quality of food. Would definitely recommend to others.
Posted on
Our first visit on Sunday for lunch had friends with us.A wonderful lunch will be returning.
Posted on
Never been before and thought I'd try the pork even though it's not my favourite! I needn't have worried as it was melt in your mouth material and the crackling was soft yet crunchy at the same time! How does that work?
Delightful staff, top meal!
Posted on
So pleased to have found this on google. Absolutely delicious and original menu. Very friendly staff and service. A real gem.
Posted on
The meal itself was absolutely first class and the service very friendly and efficient. We were so impressed we asked to speak to the Chef , David. He clearly has a passion for what he does!

The Folly is our favourite restaurant in Towcester. The team are always friendly and welcoming and we visit regularly and for all special occasions. By far the bet food in Towcester and the surrounding villages. Thank you Robert, David and team!

This was our second visit and, like the first, thoroughly enjoyable. Very pleasant service from smart and charming staff, An affable host and great food. We travel 30 miles to eat here and it is certainly worth it. We will be back soon.

Excellent birthday dinner. Our first visit and definitely not our last. The dining area is most welcoming, the staff friendly and efficient and the food excellent. A real birthday treat.

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.

Never disappoints, Sunday lunch for the first time, (we usually visit in the evening), great way to relax and enjoy the day.

We have eaten at the Folly many times. As before we had an excellent meal. Despite the restaurant being full the staff were calm and attentive. Thank you

Had my first visit today with my husband, the staff are so friendly and the food is to die for. We shall definitely be returning

The was our first visit and we weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly and the food was fantastic. The decor was perhaps a little dated, but we would definately come again.
Posted on
This was our 2nd visit to the restaurant and just like the first visit the food and the service were excellent
Posted on
This was our third visit to the restaurant and we continue to be impressed with the food, the staff and the atmosphere . We were joined on this occasion by my daughter and her husband and they were equally as impressed. I would say this is the best restaurant in this area by far.

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 !
Posted on
Our first trip to The Folly for many years and what a wonderful surprise!
The staff, atmosphere and above all food were all excellent.
Will most certainly recommend to everyone I know!

Third meal at the Folly since we moved to the area last summer; there are many reasons we keep going back; great food, lovely service and well kept beer!
Posted on
We visited The Folly for the first time on Friday evening, having driven past it for many years thinking how attractive it looked. The food was excellent, the staff were first class and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely visit again. Our only regret is that we didn't try it sooner!
Posted on
I went with my best friend on Thursday for my birthday, the food was excellent and the service from Sue was just spot on. Thank you for making my birthday night perfect.

Living in Stoke Bruerne we are blessed with many good places to eat. However the folly sits above the above the others for quality. Sunday late lunch was excellent as usual.
Posted on
This was our third visit in a relatively short period and now our preferred eatery to take visiting friend and family. The food is always excellent and the service/staff are first class.
The atmosphere is relaxed by efficient and its quiet without feeling uncomfortably.
I would normally throw in a small negative to add balance but I can't.
Posted on
We had a late lunch on a Saturday, and it was really good. Delicious and beautifully presented food, from an imaginative menu. Friendly service, too.
Posted on
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 .

Heard good things about The Folly Inn so decided to have our anniversary meal there and it definitely lived up to the hype !!
Fantastic food and lovely service.
Their communication and even after service is excellent with a nice email thanking us !!Definitely recommended !
Well done guys :)

Meeting a friend midway between our respective work locations I Chose the Folly Inn blind from the web. We had a lovely meal. Great attentive service. Lots of dishes on the menu I fancied, which is unusual for me! The food was lovely and we really enjoyed the Cheeseboard. Great spot, would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful meal on Saturday, excellent food and service, have highly recommended Folly Inn.

We had a meal on Friday evening for the first time. We often drive by and thought we liked the look of the place so we thought we would give it a try. So pleased that we did, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, the food got 10 out of 10 from us both. Would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys fabulous food and great service. Thank you to all and see you again in the very near future. Gaynor and Howard.

11 work colleagues had a great meal, everyone enjoyed all their courses no complaints and they are a fussy group!

Another tasty meal at this gem of a restaurant. The pulled pork and black pudding hash starter went down a treat with my Captain Caveman other half!! And the Chocolate pot pud drowned all my sorrows!! Lovely staff- shame we didn't meet David as my other half is from the same part of the world. Next time though as there will definitely be one!

A really delicious meal, excellent service with very pleasant staff and super atmosphere. What more could you ask? (Our friends were lovely too!)

My wife and I visited on Saturday for Lunch, the second time we have been. Food was superb as it was the previous time and the whole team were very attentive.
Looking forward to visiting again.

We came for dinner here after going to the dog racing and all we have to say afterwards was wow. The food was excellent as was the service! The table next to us thought the same and the chef came out to thank them which we thought was great. Everyone that worked there was really nice and we will definitely be going again and have already been recommending it!
Posted on
the Folly has quickly become my favourite place to eat. Visited again on Thursday, food was yummy, dessert platter divine and the waitress was really lovely. Needless to say we will be back.
Posted on
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.

We enjoyed great food and service in a lovely atmosphere

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.

Celebrated my 60th with dinner with close friends. The food and wine was excellent and all my guests enjoyed the service and atmosphere. I can only praise the chef and staff for an outstanding experience.

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!
Posted on
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!!

Enjoyed our second visit this month and food excellent as usual but a special comment about the sautéed spring broccoli ,very unusual and superb! The inclusion of sprout florets inspirational,can't wait to sautéed them at home .thanks again
Posted on
We are regulars at The Folly, always meeting friends for lunch. Yesterday was, as always good service, and nice food, although, I think the fish and chips is better with battered fish as if I want breaded fish I can make it myself. Still, it was nicely cooked and presented.
Posted on
We celebrated our daughter's 21st Birthday with a fabulous Sunday Lunch with you. Everything was first rate - the food, the service and even the weather! Thank you for making it such a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Wednesday evening was my second visit to The Folly. I and my family were just so impressed on my first visit, I was just waiting for an excuse to return! This time I invited friends along for a meet up. Once again, the food was just done to perfection, the ambience was also spot on for a nice evening meal with friends, and the staff couldn't make you feel more welcome. My friends were so impressed with the quality of food and service, they are also wanting to revisit. Thank you - see you again soon! :)
Posted on
I brought my wife to The Folly to celebrate her birthday. We both ordered the slow roast pork, it was cooked to perfection. The Folly is our restaurant of choice for special occations because the service and food is of the highest standard.
Posted on
We brought our friends to your restaurant for a lovely meal. When we arrived and were immediately shown to our table, and everything from then on went smoothly thanks to great staff giving a great service, which in turn meant we were able to fully relax and enjoy our meal and the ambience. The food was superb. Our friends, from Nr. Wolverhampton, were very complimentary about the whole experience. Thank you to you and your staff. Much appreciated.
Posted on
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!
Posted on
I celebrated my son's birthday here last year and it has become a favourite place. We much enjoyed celebrating another birthday. Delicious food as ever.

Came for another excellent meal on the 2 year birthday celebration.

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.

We booked for my birthday on Valentines lunchtime and despite US getting our booking wrong and surprising them with an extra person whom they kindly accommodated without complaint.

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.

Lovely meal and service as usual , will be back asap !

My son and I love coming here - our second visit - and he says - and I agree - that you do the best steaks. Totally delicious. We will be back. But if I praise too extravagantly I guess we won't get a table!

Took my eighty year old dad for a spot of lunch. Had eaten dinner before with relations, and wasn't sure how lunch would be. Fabulous. Will be back again very soon. The food, staff and atmosphere makes this a wonderful place to visit.

A delightful New Year's Eve experience - but that is what we have come to expect. Delightfully creative food, served with stylish ease by a team that clearly knows its job and is led by a dedicated professional. 5 star rating!

We spent New Years Eve at the Folly this year...the hospitality & food as always was excellent. Thank you once again.

Fantastic food, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. This was my second visit and certainly will not be my last. Loved it! Certainly one of the best restaurants n the area. Only regret - wish I had gone there sooner. Well done to management and staff for creating a great eatery.

My partner and I dined here just before Christmas and had a wonderful dinner. The bar prices were excellent, the food prices were excellent. The food itself was lovely! Im usually put off fondant potatoes but here I loved it. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming the staff were attentive and made sure we were ok throughout the meal. We will def be back :)
Posted on
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.
Posted on
I and 6 of my friends dined here recently as part of the Christmas celebrations and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was superb, and the service was warm and friendly. I am sure we will all be back here again soon, many thanks for a lovely evening.

Four of us dined on the 13th, Still all our favourite place to dine out. Great food, great service, nice atmosphere and great value. Awesome steaks.

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
Posted on
A lovely pre-Christmas atmosphere and superb food. My two friends and I were paying our second visit and we'll certainly be booking again.

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.

I dined with an old friend of mine and the meal as well as the service, was excellent. During the school summer break, 5 of us met regularly at the Folly on several occasions and enjoyed a lovely meal each time.

Wife and I haven't been out for dinner in a while, and had heard from Friends that the Folly was worth a visit. Booked online. Food was excellent, service exceptional. However, with the wonderful starter and Main, I had no room for Pudding. So we will just have to return ...

The surroundings, the atmosphere, the fabulous staff and the food - wow! Can't wait to go again, the staff may well get fed up of the sight of us! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Folly Inn, spot on!

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.

one word WOW food and service 5 star.

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.

Had a lovely meal with friends at The Folly. Wonderful food, efficient, friendly service and the head chef personally came and asked us if we enjoyed the food and had a chat. A lovely touch we thought.
The Folly back on form, not before time. Fantastic we will certainly be back.

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!
