We walked in for brunch on a late Sunday morning for the first time. Not knowing if we were to find a table our be seated we stood at the doorway for a few minutes until I went to the bar to clarify. Once we chose a table and waited we then realised you have to order via the QR code facility. Its all very impersonal when the only time you are acknowledged by staff is when food or drinks are bought to your table. I would imagine this also effects tips for the staff as you have to chose when placing your order. With no staff interaction or food at the point of order what is to tip and few carry cash these days to leave on the table afterwards. A bright point is that the decor and atmosphere is nice and the burgers we had were good. As a successful chain restaurant its clearly a method that works for them but its not somewhere we'd visit again in the future.

Loved this place just ticks all the boxes! Great decor, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, sensible prices, and OMG what a choice! One of our party is coeliac and this place was highly recommended I see why! The choice of GF was amazing the menu was pretty much the same as non GF. We had booked for Saturday, but after a busy Friday, we dropped in thinking if it wasn't good, we would go elsewhere on Saturday instead. Needless to say, we didn't cancel and ate here twice. Tapas was three for £12 and reasonable portions we tried the honey feta delicious, crispy crispy arancini, bbq chicken wings, patatas bravas, grain bowl great hummus , squid rings, and our fave bang bang cauli. The truffle chicken was mouth wateringly tasty. The burgers were good and lots of additional sides to choose from something for everyone. We particularly enjoyed the soft drinks options sherbet lemonade, a peachy one, a watermelon one sooo much nicer than coke or sprite, great for designated drivers. Personally I was a little disappointed at the dessert choices white choc not a thing! cheesecake, brownie, ice cream sundae and churros although the brownie and the churros were good! I just like a fruity or light option. And to be really nit picky, the mac n cheese was literally mac n cheese no creamy sauce. Certainly wouldn't stop us from coming again on our next trip to N'ton. Now please open a branch in Norwich!

Like many people I’m sure, a bit put off with the building works going on in the Market Square … Don’t be!! A lovely lunch, I had the pulled brisket chilli and stupidly asked for extra jalapeños.. no need wowser! Husband had pulled pork burger, it looked fab. We also started with a few tapas…. Sad to say the puddings didn’t get a look in! Thanks all of you for looking after us x

Our daughter was getting married early Monday morning but nothing had been arranged afterwards. We stayed in Northampton the night before and did a rekkie of the restaurants to try and book a nice place to celebrate. Zapato Lounge was so welcoming, so friendly, so helpful. They allowed us access early doors Monday so we could decorate the tables (there were 12 of us) and put up ‘just married’ banners. All were a surprise for the bride and groom. When we walked in after the ceremony the table looked lovely. The staff had added the Prosecco we ordered, and the glasses. I can’t thank the staff enough for making this such a special occasion with no notice at all.
