A great place to go for shopping, cinema, coffee, lunch etc The walk around the lake is great but bring decent shoes as they have put stones near one of the entrances which will be uncomfortable in soft footwear. Five hours free parking but beware this may not be sufficient if you try to do everything on the day. Keep your receipts if this happens and you should get a refund on your parking penalty.

Parking is tight at the weekends. However, during the week, no problem. Great variety of stores, local, national, and international. Quite a few branded restaurants, Nice 20 min walk around one many lakes

21/07/25, much to mention. There are so many friendly servers, nothing like peterborough. Lovely experience today. Frasers: Lancome: Cheryl J, you're a breath of fresh air!! Could ramble for hours with, lovely woman, perfect customer service! Asset! Perfume gorgeous and plentiful samples to try. Purchased La vie est belle, positively fabulous 👌 . Sports direct: didn't catch name but lovely young lad serving, super tall, random brief chat at the till, also manages to kill cacti! And yep are pup destroyed Euro ball within minutes, gutted. Not the biggest womens section. Mountain warehouse: woman with bright blue eyes, super genuine, positive, good at recommending products, but not overbearing. Blue light card accepted even on sale items. Bills restaurant: lovely lady with hearing aids, you do a super job, so busy today, vigorously working flat out.( To those that got annoyed at her busy self not responding to your princess needs, open your eyes, gain insight, and empathy, ) Food was lovely, thanks chefs! Good cuppa tea, (first place I've ever ever ever seen, using the same tea bags,) blue light card accepted. Sketchers blue light card accepted but not on any items already "discounted" can't be only one who thinks, Sketchers prices has doubled of late. Sure they used to be one of the cheaper brands. Staff not much chat, monotone. Services charges are getting out of hand! We know the servers only see a miniscule % Thanks for shining. All 4 of you deserve all the tips, all the praise, and massive pay rises, polite, approachable, and brilliant 👏 😀 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 Sun was shining, plenty of Accessible parking, For others with disabilities it's really well laid out, Accessible bathroom was clean and spacious. Slight let down was hearing most places do not take physical money as payment, which isnt very inclusive, knowing many a person who prefer cash over card, ( my mother doesn't trust cards, more complex than losing money or having details fraudulently accessed, and partners 95 year old nan, that just doesn't understand using card, just to mention two, but working in healthcare, many more feel the same, and just wont buy if cant use legal tender.) Has a dog washing station, 👍 has outdoor phone charging points 👍 Helpful homeless support 👍 Really is lovely to have the lake, looked ever so picturesque today. 👍 👍 👍 👍

This shopping center offers an excellent experience, especially when is Summer!The first five hours of parking are provided free of charge. What more could we ask for !Thank you ❣️ 🛍

Been here a few times now, theres a generation selection of shops, places to eat and a great cinema. The only real issue is the parking, there is lot of it but the spaces are way to small, if somebody parks next to you and isnt bang centre its nigh on impossible to get the car door open to get into your car.

Rushden Lakes is an excellent outdoor shopping centre that truly offers something for everyone. The range of shops is great, covering major brands like Superdry, Superdrug, and Card Factory. It's also a fantastic food destination—with Greggs and my favourite, Popeye's Chicken! What boosts this to a 4/5 is the fantastic leisure complex. With 360 Play, a Trampoline Park, and climbing walls, it’s a brilliant day out that keeps the kids fully entertained. Highly recommended for families.

A great place to go, especially in the sunshine! Lots of good retail therapy and some nice eateries! The lakes are lovely to walk around. Flat pathways to cycle or walk. A bit bumpy for pushchairs but doable! Plenty of places to buy coffee etc so definitely worth a visit or 3!

Plenty of shops. Was pretty busy. Easy free parking.

Swansgate is a convenient place for shopping, offering a variety of stores to suit different needs. Free on-site parking is a great bonus, and it's generally a good spot for families. However, cleanliness could be improved, and at times, groups of teenagers can be disruptive. There have also been occasional incidents such as shoplifting, which may affect the overall experience. Still, it remains a useful local shopping destination.

Good choice of shops indoors and out with plenty of free parking in multi storey car park

A really good garden centre with lot's of different products to look at and buy .We never used the restaurant on that occasion .

Okay for specific shops but centre is poorly maintained and lacks some of the shops you would want.roilets we flooded twice on previous visits.car park is tight and not the best layout for getting in and out.better parking near morrisons for the town centre

As many shopping centres in the UK, this is yet another one that is suffering from the economic turmoil. It is still bravely struggling on, but is showing signs of losing the battle

A beautiful place to shop from,nice customer service from all the shops.

Love Irchester country park it's got lots of different walks, great accessibility to most however an electric chair is a benefit as it can be hilly in places. The are surprises along the way for the children.There is a cafe, a counter outside for ice creams, teas, coffee, hot chocolate, sausage rolls, crisps, pasties and cakes. With picnic benches around to sit on. Beautiful play ground for the children. Tree top climb and great toilet facilities for all abilities

Irchester Country Park is a fantastic place for a family day out! It's a very big, beautiful, and family-friendly park with plenty of natural areas to explore. There are lovely walking trails, wooded areas, and open spaces that make it perfect for picnics or just enjoying nature. The large play area is great for kids, and there’s plenty of parking available, which makes things super convenient. It's definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a peaceful outdoor escape!

A really well-kept country park with plenty of parking space for a reasonable price. The huge playground for the children, dino path and (paid) climbing attraction can guarantee a day full of attractions for families. We visited on Saturday so we missed the narrow gauge train museum (open only on Sundays). However, we had a fantastic couple of hours in there!

A lovely park with a variety of paths. Well maintained and accessible. Plenty of parking at only £3.50 for the day.

What an amazing country park! Various trails available, large playground with lots of space for a picnic, cafe and toilets and plenty of parking. There are also treehouses for kids to play in the forest - thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

Great for dogs and children lots of different walks. Plenty of parking £3.50 for 12 hours. Toilets and cafe on site. Good play areas and lots of wild life. Well kept and maintained.

Beautiful country park, perfect for walking and cycling. The children’s play area is clean and well-equipped, making it ideal for families. Plenty of parking is available, with gates closing at 5 pm, but there’s additional parking outside. Highly recommended for a day out!

It's a brilliant location. Lots going on, amazing fast paced action on the dragstrip some phenomenal vehicles displayed. Great commentary helping make it inclusive even for the newbies to the action. Good secondary entertainment at the other arena sites. Lots of high octane action. The participants were very friendly and willing to share their passion for their hobby. We will be returning.

Spent a works day out here to watch a colleague run his car up the drag strip a few times. A good day out although surprised to see that a lot of the food stalls were closed, but it was a Friday. Plenty of car parking and overall a good vibe. The weather was good with only a few interruptions in racing due to the heavy rain. As soon as the rain stopped the racing got underway pretty quickly.

I’ve been going to Santa Pod since I was young, with Bug Jam being the highlight of my year. Back then, it was all about the old cars, the smell of the rubber, and the excitement in the air. Now, as a father of two, it’s taken on a whole new meaning — it’s something I get to share with my kids and my wife, and it’s just as magical as ever. The atmosphere is electric but still feels welcoming for families. There’s so much to see and do — from the incredible drag races that leave you in awe to the friendly car displays, live music, and fun fair rides. My kids’ faces light up every time a car roars down the strip, and my wife loves that there are plenty of places to relax, grab food, and enjoy the day. Santa Pod isn’t just about cars — it’s about community, shared memories, and that unique mix of adrenaline and family fun. For us, it’s more than a weekend away; it’s a tradition, and I can’t wait to keep bringing my children here as they grow up. If you’ve never been, whether you’re a petrolhead or just looking for an unforgettable family day, Santa Pod is a must.

USC weekend. Stayed in club camping section Thursday through to Sunday. Lots of things to watch and demonstrations on. Food vendors, stalls for clothing, parts. Music playing in the evenings on main stage, dance tent and silent disco. Been 3 times now and will definitely be back again.

Still a great family trip out 35 years after I was the kid being taken there. Facilities are well cleaned considering the traffic, food is OK, though the oil could be changed more often if they're going to charge 4.50 for fries... You need ear protection..... you can buy it there.

Absolutely love this place, its always well organised. We were there for USC which has some fantastic cars, with something for everyone. The drinks are pretty good but the food can be questionable its pretty expensive which I dont mind if the quality is good but not all of it is. Pizza parlour next to fuelers was amazing but the breakfast place with no name that just says big breakfast baguettes (in between the ice cream van and the pod shop) was shockingly bad. I expected it to be amazing as we waited 30 minutes so thought it must be fresh it was a burnt mess and cost about £8.50 (see photos) avoid this place. The coffee there was terrible too. If you want good coffee then go to the coffee and cake place (next door to burger and fries) as the coffee there was really nice. The noodle place was pretty good too as was the Mexican next door (I think) that done the loaded fries (see pics)

Visited for Monster Truck Nationals 2025. A great family day out. Remember hats and suncream in the height of summer - there's no shade!

I just had the worst experience ever from a staff member who firstly couldn't speak proper English and who couldn't understand me when I tried to talk to her over the phone. I have been a cakebox customer for a long time, but will never come back as your staff was really unhelpful and rude.

I recently visited Cake Box, and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I stepped in, the friendly staff greeted me with a warm smile. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for indulging in a sweet treat. The cake selection was incredible—so many delicious flavors to choose from! I went for the red velvet, and it was absolutely divine—moist, flavorful, and with just the right amount of sweetness. I also appreciated the variety of eggless options, catering to various dietary preferences. Overall, Cake Box exceeded my expectations. Whether you're picking up something for a special occasion or just treating yourself, this place is a must-visit for any cake lover. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

the cakes are so delectable and the texture is perfect. we order all our birthday cakes or cakes for events from cake box

I ordered a cake from them and it has come ruined. All the decorations on the cake were no longer on the cake. I called up the store the lady didn’t even understand what I said and said it’s not her problem. She was extremely rude and raising her voice at me when I was kindly trying to figure out where we can go from there. She hung up the phone on me multiple times and was not helpful at all. Will definatley not be ordering from them again after such rude customer service.

Bought this cake today and the staff were very friendly and asked if I wanted a message on at no extra cost and they were very quick in completing my order. Will definitely use them again. Thank you.

The cake is amazing with all the details we wanted. It was specially designed for my sisters 18th birthday. The size is great for the price and even the price is reasonable. Thank you very much cake box

Amazing delicious cakes and would definitely recommend for family and friends delicious cakes especially the new Dubai collections

I visited the KFC in Wellingborough yesterday and, while there was nothing wrong with the food itself, the behaviour of the management staff was extremely disappointing. The individual who appeared to be the manager was shouting at young staff members who were clearly trying their best under pressure. It was also evident that the team working in the back were not communicating effectively or providing the other staff members with what they needed, which only made the situation worse. A man, who I assume is also a part of the management team, from the way he was demanding people to do things, stated that he didn’t care if customers were upset and walked off, despite us having waited over 30 minutes with no explanation or update. As a former KFC manager myself, I found it unacceptable that the store had run out of so many items; the kitchen staff must do better. My family and I are regular customers at this branch, but unfortunately, there are ongoing issues with every visit. On a previous occasion, a different manager made the environment extremely uncomfortable due to very poor personal hygiene. The unpleasant odour was unacceptable and has continued to be an issue each time we’ve returned. This raises serious concerns about the store’s overall cleanliness and hygiene standards, especially when the person in charge is setting such a poor example. I would like to acknowledge the young female team member who was doing her best to manage everything on her own while others stood around or were on their phones. She showed professionalism and dedication under very difficult circumstances. KFC Wellingborough urgently needs to address its staffing levels, improve management training, and raise its customer service standards. If these issues continue, the store’s reputation and ultimately its future will be at serious risk.

Selected my order, paid and immediately the Windows blue screen (system crash) showed up then rebooted. No order on the system and I was still charged. The guy couldn't do anything about it and wouldn't give me the food. So I paid for nothing whatsoever. I would avoid if I were you, apparently not the first time it's happened. No shortage of chicken shops in the area anyway.

I have been to this KFC on multiple occasions but will not be returning after recent visits. The drive-thru continue to fail with extreme waits, missing items and staff with poor attitude. There is never a please or thank you when placing an order and it feels like you are a chore to the person taking the order. Constantly told to park up and we will bring your order to you, with an average of a 15 minute wait, which is not fast food. This location needs a real look @ from the higher-ups of KFC. The Staff should be trained that speed and courteousness is a priority and please, thank you and have a good day should be a minimum.

This is hands down the worst KFC I’ve ever been to. The food tastes absolutely awful — dry, greasy, and borderline inedible. It’s like they gave up on even trying. The chicken had zero flavor, the fries were soggy and cold, and the entire meal tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. The service was even worse. The staff looked like they didn’t want to be there, barely acknowledged anyone, and acted like every order was a massive inconvenience. Slow, rude, and completely unprofessional. I don’t expect fine dining at KFC, but basic decency and edible food shouldn’t be too much to ask. Avoid this place unless you’re looking to waste your money and your appetite.

AGAIN ! missed another part of my order £5.99. Doesn’t matter which restaurant , they always knock you on take away or delivery . Is this an integral part of staff training? And to make matters worse two members of staff barged past me when I was trying to leave, whilst holding my order. I will be checking any “possible” future orders before leaving the premises. Note to KFC smile at your customers it really does make a difference 😬

Drove into the car park in a big van, it needs 2 spots as I was parking a moron drove straight in and took the space, no worries I can live with that, there are that's everywhere, turns out he's a delivery driver for them and instantly had a good laugh at my expense at what he'd done. That would piss anybody off. Went into the shop and was treated so rudely that I walked out. Kfc be careful as there are loads of places around doing what you do. There isn't a rating foe what I had today.

The worst KFC I have ever had. I ordered a boneless banquet - they gave me what appeared to be 3 chunks of batter, didn’t give any dip and the food, it was awful. The beans tasted like they were cooked 10 times over - do you not think to hand cutlery and dips over as well? Shocking service, shocking food. Save yourself the time, don’t visit this establishment

Jeremy and the wonderful staff hosted my Sister-in-laws wedding and it was a perfect day! They were absolutely brilliant and were so nice. I enjoyed their food and the buffet they provided for it. Thanks so much for helping us bring all the family together for a special event. Truly appreciated.

First time trying food here for lunch - it was so good!! Had the tuna/ cheese melt panini and thick chips and my husband had the vegetarian pizza - both were really good! Lots of tuna in the melt and the chips were smothered in cheese! Would definitely recommend!!!

We went to the Carpenters Arms last night for a family get together and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for a family gathering. We'll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend the sharing boards.

was welcomed by a very friendly man behind the bar who was quick to serve us. we ordered a meat & cheese board and it came out looking spectacular! very impressed with the pub, staff and food and will be returning.

Menu is limited but food of good quality and presented well. We happened to be there when live entertainment was booked and we throughly enjoyed the evening. Made to feel welcome being our first visit. We will definitely return.

Little gem of a pub, reasonably priced with a lovely atmosphere, good beer and delicious food. We tried the roast dinner baguette and it was gorgeous! Bar staff are lovely too, special shoutout to Adele who is a star ⭐️

5 of us came for Sunday lunch today and it was lovely food for a very reasonable price. Experienced great service so we will definitely be back

Can’t fault it. Affordable. Delicious. Attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our food this evening. The waiters were welcoming. Our food was hot, fresh and tasty. No more than 30 minutes to wait for our food. Would definitely reccomend and will definitely return again and again.

Was driving through Milton Keynes and found this gem…what a lovely experience. On arrival we were greeted and sat down in the spacious lounge bar area and attentive bar staff served us drinks. We were allocated a nice table by the window. Food was delicious, the food was hot and very tasty. First time and not last…definitely will recommend..see you soon guys

Great food, great service and a nice cosy place. The Naan was the star, crisp on the outside, fluffy and soft in the middle. Good amount of chicken in the curry and reasonable price. I'll be back!

Food always tastes fresh and is always delicious! The staff are friendly and a nice atmosphere

Recommended on trip advisor - fancied a drive out and reviews were very positive. Within a few minutes had booked online. Arrived on time and shown straight to table - quite busy at 7:30pm . No complaints from us on the food or service - it was nice to be able to try some different menu items. Recommended and will no doubt return for more.

My wife and I and our friends and family have eaten here 3 times in the last 6 weeks the service and food is amazing and the portions are plenty it’s the best Indian restaurant in Northampton and we have visited plenty of places. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I've used this restaurant for takeaway for years however last night ate there for the first time with the family. The awards the restaurant regularly win speak for themselves. Simply the best Indian food, service impeccable and a beautiful location. Not one to be missed, highly recommended.
