Review of The Fat Cat Cafe Bar

Great food during the day 
This might not be the first place you think of if you're looking for lunch somewhere, but I went on Saturday and they do REALLY nice food. Plus they've got an undercover outside area so you can sit out. The staff were really friendly too. Definitely recommend for the day. I've heard it's a really good place to go in the evenings too... lots of tasty men of the rugby playing variety. Hmmmm!

Review of Bay Trading Co

Another great place for dresses
The dresses Bay Trading are selling at the moment are so beautiful - particularly in this shop which I was in over the weekend. If you've got a special occassion but have a tight budget, you can get a gorgeous dress from here (average about £35). I've always found Bay reasonable and have a good range of clothing that lasts pretty well for the money. The sunglasses are always good too. If you're after a pretty summer dress, look no further...

Review of Debenhams

Amazing dresses! 
If you're dress-shopping, I would highly recommend this place because they have so many beautiful ones in at the moment. I went in at the weekend and I was spoilt for choice. They're quite pricey (around £80 each) but if you've got a fancy do coming up or a wedding they are perfect. Plus, some of the staff wear the dresses so you can see how pretty they look on too! Really great choice here - definitely worth a visit (but take your credit card because if you're like me you'll want them all and will be able to afford..... none of them)

Review of The Orange Tree

Good for vegetarians
If you're vegetarian and struggle find somewhere nice on a Sunday, you should go here because they do a really good vegetarian roast, they don't miss out on anything, just replace the meat with vegetarian sausages. We went last Sunday and sat in the huge garden they have out the back (easy to miss unless you know it's there) and it was lovely. Definitely worth a visit, even if just for a drink because it's really nice inside and out... and perfect if you've had a long day shopping.

Review of Pi Bar

Nice atmosphere but really noisy
I really like this bar. I've been in a couple of times now and although it's really noisy it does have a really nice atmosphere. Wouldn't be a very good place for a date as you wouldn't be able to hear each other speak though... wish we had more bars like this in Northampton. I imagine it would be a really nice place to go and chill out in after work.

Good chips!
My friend always drags me in here kicking and screaming.... hmmm more like the other way round. I know it looks a bit minging but I've been a few times now and I like it. It's very chilled and you can eat chips, drink coke and play pool. We saw a girl buying chips in her pyjamas the other day, now if that isn't chilled....

Review of Revolution Bar

Really nice surprise
This is SUCH a nice place to go on a Sunday like my friend and I did. We had a really nice lunch which was good value and sat outside in their garden bit at the front watching everyone go by. Inside is really lovely and it was so quiet when we went there we didn't have to wait at all. One thing though, and you may think I'm weird, but I hate it when bars have the women's toilets miles away from the bar, up four flights of stairs and in the attic like this one (not literally) but I could imagine on a quiet evening it's not very nice as you feel SO isolated. That's the only thing I would suggest they change. If you're like me and think about things like that, take a girlfriend with you.... also they have free papers so I imagine it'd be really nice to go on your own on a weekend and chill out during the day.

Lovely place to eat - maybe not on Sunday
This is such a nice restaurant. You're not all crammed in and the staff are exceptionally friendly. When I went in there last time we were served quickly and she even asked if we'd like to move so we were nearer the window because she thought it would be nicer bless her. The food was fantastic too. It's a bit more pricey than I normally pay but it is worth it. Only downfall is, I went in there with my friend last Sunday and they only do a Sunday roast all day or vege lasagne, nothing else, so that's a bit of a pain.
Opening Times: Mon - Thurs: 10:00 - 21:45 (last food orders) Fri & Sat: 10:00 - 21:45 (last food orders) Sun: 12:00 - 21:15 (last food orders) Avg Price: £22.00

Review of The Sumo

Shame about the sport.... 
I went here for a speed dating night with some friends which was really fun (although the men were all weird...) It's a really nice bar BUT they play rugby/football etc sometimes which is boring and noisy. They DO get good artists playing here mind you, Sam Sparro was there last week and Captain are there soon so great for music! If you're a smoker there's a whole outside bit with heaters too.
