On Sunday afternoons we will be having our Sunday Carvery, this will consist of a selection of meat with as many roast potatoes and freshly cooked vegetables as you want. This will be served from 12pm to 7.30pm. If you enjoy our carvery on a Sunday, then why not come along to our Wednesday carvery and enjoy all the trimmings from the buffet?

Monday evenings will be Pie Night. Eat as much as you like from our home made pie buffet, which will be served from 5.30pm to 8pm. We will also be having Curry Nights on Friday evenings, also serving from 5.30 to 8pm. You can help yourself to 3 curry dishes plus poppadoms, mango chutney and naan bread. These meals will be priced at just £8.95, £6.95 for OAP’s and £4.95 for children, so why not take a break from all the cooking and join us for the evening? To book a table, call us on 0116 279 1515.

Foxton Locks Flights 200th Birthday

With times changing and technology advancing, it’s hard to keep track of what’s changed in our surroundings and what hasn’t. It’s even harder to imagine what our country looked like 200 years ago.

However, Foxton Locks flights don’t seem to have changed at all with the historic canal locks still looking very similar to how they looked during the 19th Century.

This year will be the 200th anniversary of when the locks were built and to celebrate, the Canal River Trust have released photographs of the locks from when they were built so you can see how well they have been preserved. Built by architect Benjamin Bevan between 1810 and 1814, the locks facilitate the Grand Union Canal and are the longest staircase of locks in Britain.

To mark the occasion there will be 3 days of celebration. This weekend, on Saturday 9th of August people will be encouraged to come along to hear live music from a local folk band playing traditional canal music and to enjoy stalls selling local goodies and food. As well as that, on Sunday the 10th of August there will be a parade of historic boats from Northamptonshire.

Foxton Locks is home to much more than the historic flights, enjoy walks around the area, a day trip on a canal boat or a visit to the Foxton Locks Inn. Drop in for a bite to eat or a drink, or book now on 0116 279 1515.

Summer at Foxton Locks

The Foxton Locks area has plenty to do for you and your family; you can walk along the canal, go on a boat ride or just appreciate the beautiful views before coming in to the restaurant to enjoy a meal. We love summer at Foxton Locks Inn, and to celebrate we’re offering a range of food and drink that’s perfect for the sunny months.

Our light summer best sellers are Wiltshire ham, shallot and mature cheddar quiche served with new potatoes and salad, Greek meze platter with tzatsiki, hummus, olives, feta cheese and crusty bread, and a cheddar and stilton Ploughman’s plate complete with crusty bread, piccalilli, apple, pickled onion and salad.

Our drinks menu now includes Pimm’s and lemonade, a new premium cider called Addlestones, and the new Gordon’s Elderflower gin which is served over ice with a slice of lime.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, Foxton Locks Inn is a great place to be this summer. To book a table call us on 0116 279 1515.foxton locks
