The Spread Eagle, Northampton

The Spread Eagle is a U-shaped pub with a pool table to the left and the bar in the middle with some seating to the right. One of the two hand pumps was off leaving only Bombardier, but a healthy standard draught selection was available during my visit along with Red Stripe and Eagle Smooth. I found the woman behind the bar to be very friendly and one of the local women took it upon herself to organise cabs for the large group I was in so we could get to the Saints ground. She even came outside and apportioned us to the four cabs that had arrived; I didn’t think we were that drunk yet! There are two plasma screens that were showing the football results via BBC so I guess that there is no Sky Sports. There is a happy hour from midday until 18:00 Monday through to Friday and there is live music on Sundays from 17:00 until 20:00. There is also a disco every Friday from 20:00 until late, whenever that is. Although this place isn’t going to win any awards I liked it and would pop back in if passing.
