It is a very large pub which makes it suited for both a group trip in the evening or a quiet drink with a solitary friend (maybe even a 'special' friend). Beer is well kept, staff are friendly, all in all it's very good. I recommend a pint of eagle, it's the pride and joy of bedford.

Asked for water at the table when we ordered original drinks, got glasses for the water just as we received the bill!!!To really "ice the cake", when I asked if the manager was in the reply was NO.

Got a table for two after we placed our drink orders at the bar. The pie menu is pretty extensive and then you get to choose if you want a short crust pastry or the traditional puff pastry. We both did puff pastry but next time we are thinking of changing it up. So many pies, so little time. We also got some chips and a side of veggies as well. Let's just say... enormous portions. It's a fun place with two or a bunch of people and definitely a great place to come when the weather gets warmer and you need some hearty comfort food in your belly. I'd come back again but make some room for dessert. I had their sticky toffee pudding and it was delicious! Good end to a good meal all around. We'll be back!

Although numbers are a trickle up at the Earls manor they were surprisingly busy for a credit crunch Thursday night at the 'Halt', me mum treating the family to a good slap up meal from her Premium Bond win. The staff were very pleasant although our table for five (four at best) was appropriately squashed up and hidden away with the rest of us who there only for the February cheap deal, a free bottle of 'plonk' with every two main courses for £20 hard to turn down. Yes it was the old trick of serving you a ropey overpriced main course sandwiched between more exquisite starters and suites, making profit back on those extras and additional booze, a single glass of wine thereafter costing more than a parking ticket you would have got if you had eaten in Northampton. As I say the starters were good, well presented and flavored, around three quid each. The main courses were less sophisticated, the type of stuff that clatters on and off a service station rotunda, gammon and chicken burgers hardly cordon bluer. The salad vedge was so chunky and unoriginally served I could have made a face on the gammon, this kids menu territory. The sweet was a more superior fare, a choice of eight different ones, served in welcome big plates to suggest quality. But it's about value these days and feeding five people for £80 with two bottles of free wine is a cracking deal and the Halt is a nice, if formulaic, pleasant place to eat and enjoy those deals at. In the summer this place will be heaving, a pub fully geared up to holding on to its smokers with an excellent beer garden and heated outside areas, including stuff for the kids and the nearby reservoir bustling with wildlife making for pleasant evening walks with your lover. Like I say the pub is huge and has a games room and a lounge and bar for the locals, cable TV and two sets of toilets keeping the punters moving around the pub. The function room is big and the parking spacers even bigger, enough for 100 cars plus if you ask me. There karaoke and pub nights and so something for everyone. This is an old style family pub that has every chance of surviving this cruel recession that has seen 3 pubs a day close across the nation and 45,000 jobs lost in the industry since the smoking ban.
