Places to eat
The Smoke Pit (we think) has the best BBQ & smoked meat in Northampton. It's a cool setting, perfect for groups of friends to visit and hang out together. They also have a great milkshake menu!

Taxi Travel Advice
Travelling by Taxi is the fastest way to get around Northampton.
There are a variety of different companies working in the area which may use different rates and pricing. Some tips for travelling via Taxi in Northampton:
- We recommend both for safety and cost that you always book a taxi and don't hail one.
- If you do get into a taxi you haven't booked, always check the driver is a registered taxi driver with a license. This will be displayed on the front window of the taxi and in the rear seating of the taxi.
- We recommend that you do not use taxis which run on meters as these can be incredibly expensive even for short journeys. You will save money booking a taxi at all times.
We would recommend both for best prices and your safety, that you use the company we provide below which is a known and trusted company:
