‘I visited one of Northampton’s newest eateries and it’s changing the game in the hospitality industry’

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting one of Northampton’s newest eateries and, in my view, it’s already contributing to the exciting evolution of our town’s food and drink scene.

‘I went to Northampton’s hottest street food pop-up for the first time – is it worth the hype?’

We booked for the first slot and arrived as it first opened at midday. As we peered over the walls around The County Cricket Ground to get a sneak peek into what was to come, we were surprised to see many people already making their way in.
