The Saracens Head Inn - Daventry

I visit this bar around 4 times a year when I'm in the area for work. I was there last night, July 25th, and I have to say the two girls with black hair in ponytails were amazing. They were working hard in a very busy bar and it seemed like they were the only staff there, but they remained friendly and calm throughout the evening. They are a real asset to the business. As for the bar itself, I always find it clean and the food is consistently well-prepared. It does exactly what a typical Spoons should do, and it does it very well.

I revisited this cozy pub and found great deals in the Wetherspoons sale. The young lady in charge was friendly, and we enjoyed a fantastic meal and drinks. I will definitely be returning.

Today, we stopped by the Saracens Head in Daventry for a few drinks. The place has undergone some renovations since our last visit, and the decor and overall atmosphere have definitely improved. However, I did encounter some issues with the staff. During my two visits to the bar, I was met with a lackadaisical and indifferent attitude, particularly from the large girl with pink and black hair. This kind of attitude is off-putting, but I am willing to give this place another chance.

Regular visitor here, a nice pub for a meal. Several rooms throughout the venue including a mezzanine floor. It’s a nice historic old building. It’s a Wetherspoons so it is what it is… fancy some modestly priced pub grub and drinks it’s just the job.

I ordered 3 pints of cherry Pepsi and 1 pint of normal Pepsi, this was bought to the table by a lady with orange hair and a skull and cross bones mask, she didn’t have a clue which Pepsi was which so I asked and she told me I’d have to smell them to find out… I didn’t realise this was a wine tasting experience with Pepsi where I have to swill it around and smell it to find out what it is. Shortly after this our food was bought over by a different waitress who quite literally threw our knives and forks at us and said two words “pizza” then “enjoy” she clearly hates her job and doesn’t want to be here as my god we were served with a face of thunder. During the duration of our stay there was a table of women who looked like something from loose women, they were extremely loud and like a group of football hooligans, granted this is expected and not the end of the world however they began to take the **** out of a poor girl sat on her own. When all of these heffers were in no place to take the **** out of anyone looking like Marjorie doors and fat fighters at the pub. All in all a poor experience, granted spoons is the Jeremy Kyle equivalent of a pub however sometimes something needs to be said for such horrendous service.
