I've just visited the cafe bistro for a Christmas catch up with friends. We had the afternoon tea and it was fabulous. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and there was a good selection of savoury and sweet treats. We had a fabulous time and I would definitely recommend.

A really lovely atmosphere and brunch at Wistow.
Completely understand the reasoning behind the paper cups, etc but it would be really nice to have proper cutlery if nothing else.
I had the avocado smash which was indeed fab but trying to cut sourdough toast with a wooden fork is a bit of a nightmare and at one point it just completely snapped!
It wouldn’t put me off coming as it’s really lovely….. but I think I’ll stick to cake next time!

We’ve always been fans of wistow and are regular visitors. The food is always spot on and the lemon and blueberry cake is delicious. We’ve had a few afternoon tea takeaways for birthdays over the course of the last few lockdowns but it was such a special treat to be able to go to the cafe in person and have one on Friday. The food was delicious, presented beautifully and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. Thanks very much for a really lovely treat! We’ll be back and will be buying gift vouchers for family members too ☺️

This used to be such a nice place to meet friends for a snack, but no longer. Stuck in a sort of Covid time warp. Paper cups, cardboard plates and utensils, standing and waiting for one's drink and food, and clearly actively discouraging customers sitting inside in the warmth. I shall avoid it until it resumes some sense of normality. As it stands very poor value for money given the prices charged.

A lovely cafe in the countryside with an amazing selection of homemade cakes and traybakes. There is also lots of indoor and outdoor seating and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere (love the uniqueness of the interior decorations in both the conservatory and restaurant). The staff are so friendly here and I always enjoy coming here, would definitely recommend

What a gem of a place. I love the whole rural centre, the shops are all great, and the cafe serves the most fabulous cakes! I think they are all made in house, and they are just divine! I even had to come in for seconds to take some home. I have also been in for lunch, they have a new menu and I tried their chicken casserole. Delicious. I can't wait to come in and try more

Brilliant event catering. I had two lovely ladies bring a large quantity of gorgeous cakes to my 60th birthday afternoon. Everything was beautifully baked and presented. My guests were extremely happy as was I. Nothing was too much trouble and many guests are now going to pay a visit to the cafe. Huge thanks to everyone!

It’s good to see local business doing what they can to keep their staff and customers safe during this pandemic that’s far from over! Using disposables is absolutely the right thing to do to reduce the risk of exposure to the virus, bin it after use, easy. Such a shame / outrageous that some people feel the need to leave bad reviews about businesses that have suffered such hard times during the pandemic especially when the business is actually trying to protect their customers! McDonald’s use paper cups... go there and moan next time!

One of the nicest cafes in my local neighbourhood. The rural setting is lovely and staff are friendly and welcoming. I only usually visit for coffee and a cheeky piece of cake, both of which are of a consistent high standard. Their cakes are homemade and so very delicious. Try the lemon and blueberry, it's amazing!

Really lovely outdoor cafe with plenty of space to enjoy something on the extensive menu. Great location too. The cafe was busy when we turned up but we were soon served by the friendly staff. We enjoyed a variety of food and drink which helped to fuel us back to Northampton. There's various other retailers on the site including a deli. Another excellent cafe stop to add to our list of favourite tea stops.
