The Pomfret Arms

You'll find The Pomfret Arms tucked away on Cotton End, the kind of pub that doesn't need Instagram to pull a crowd—it's got regulars who've been coming for years and good reason. Walk in and you're greeted with wood panelling, a proper bar setup, and the kind of convivial atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a pint. The drinks list is solid, the food unpretentious, and there's a real sense that this place serves its community rather than chasing trends. It's exactly what Northampton needed: a neighbourhood pub that feels lived-in without feeling tired.
