"An anniversary meal and chose what WAS a great restaurant The text sent the dat before stating that had to reply with name number and time of booking made over a week ago as it would not be confirmed till this detail was given. Welcome was not what had previously experienced there and not given a great table. Had to ask one of the four waitresses if we could order a drink 10 minutes after being sat down wouldn’t have minded but there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starter without ‘peppers’ I had to explain to the waitress what peppers were as in “bell peppers, the green, red, yellow, orange ones bit worrying really was not asked if we had any allergies which was surprising as this is a repeated question you’re asked nowadays. After and hour of arriving for our reservation, ordering and finishing our starter the main came. My wife ordered smoked salmon and pasta, what arrived was cooked salmon in the pasta not smoked a totally different taste and flavour. I asked to check the menu and smoked was stated, we explained this to who appeared to be the head waitress, who could not comprehend the difference in cooked or smoked, no apology or explanation was given and we were only asked to reselect, lasagna was asked for. I had ordered and had a lovely veal Milanese, with salad, which I finished, my wife asked that hers now be cancelled as would not want to eat on her own as I was finished, minutes later a lasagne arrived this was duly returned and the bill asked for. Very unprofessional No apology Poor service A total and unfortunate change and a restaurant I will not voluntarily go to again Times are a changing and this is a shamefully wrong direction"

"We visited Foodies.Rock for the second time on Friday night April 2018 prior to a show at Royal and Derngate and cannot compliment them enough!!! Both times we have been we have thoroughly enjoyed our food and recommended them to anyone who will listen! Their stripped back furnishings are a little quirky, and their toilets are basic but their food and hospitality make up for that and more!! My husband and I very much enjoy trying new foods and absolutely love the tapas style menu where food comes out at different times and in smaller portions where you get a sample of it all. As it is street food from around the world it may require the average restaurant goer to step out of their comfort zone and try something new but I can assure you it will be WELL WORTH IT! We were advised to have 2-3 portions per person so we opted for three each and left with full bellies! Our favourites were the Korean bbq chicken, cassava chips and pork gyoza and in our opinion were all reasonably priced! Prior to coming in on Friday, I’d taken some time to read some of the reviews on TA and FB, and throughout my visit I noted that the staff and management have very much taken feedback on board and actually had made changes where appropriate, which to me speaks volumes about a restaurant! This is a gem in Northampton, perfect for a pre theatre dinner date, and yet remain modest in their approach! They deserve to be praised and supported for bringing something so new and refreshing to the local community! If you are reading this because you are considering it, just go, you won’t truly know until you try! I for one am already looking forward to my next visit!!!"
