The Bar - Traditional hospitality with a sophisticated twist.

Looking for a country pub with a difference? Then come and enjoy the vibrant and stylish heart of the Walnut Tree Inn!

Having just undergone a major redesign and refurbishment, as part of a wider programme of improvements to the main customer spaces across the ground floor, we invite you to experience the quiet sophistication and retro elegance of our new main bar.

Drawing on the themes of the railway and mercantile heritage that were so important in first establishing our hotel in the nineteenth century, we have created a modern space with a unique atmosphere in which to relax, meet friends, enjoy a drink, or have a bite to eat.

Whatever your tipple, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A selection of local real ales, an extensive range of wines by the glass, an excellent premium gin menu and numerous non-alcoholic refreshments are all available.

If you’re feeling peckish, have a look at our delicious range of freshly cooked country pub fayre found by visiting our dining page.

For details of other Northamptonshire pubs offering local real ales visit the Northampton CAMRA Locale webpage:

By contrast, and with a hint of the Mediterranean in a tasteful, courtyard setting, why not enjoy the great outdoors courtesy of our spacious, beer garden.

With an enclosed, open air terrace and heaters to ward off chilly nights or winter days, here is a tranquil space in which to enjoy the best of British weather! It also provides a comfortable, environment for our customers who wish to smoke.

From local real ales, to international lagers, together with extensive selections of carefully selected premium spirits and a range of wines from around the world, we’re proud to offer traditional country pub hospitality with a sophisticated twist.
