    • Old Kings Head 2, Harbidges Lane Long Buckby NN6 7QL Telephone(01327) 221409

      Rescued from almost certain oblivion by Everard's Brewery in the summer of 2014, this was formerly a struggling Punch leasehold that had seen no investment for decades. The brewery has invested a lot of time and money in transforming the place from a run down tatty pub into a classic village local. The thatched building itself must be one of the oldest in the village and probably dates back to the 17th century. It retains two bars, and the former public on the left has been restyled into a comfy snug. The L-shaped main bar on the right has very low ceilings (so beware!), leading to another very comfortably furnished room on an upper level, with access to the extensive patio garden and smoking area. Fortunately, this pub was spared much of the internal structural devastation wreaked during that period. New tenants Adrian and Tracey took over in November 2023 and it is good to note that the pub remains very much involved in the local community with quiz nights on Sunday, Bingo nights on Tuesday, plus chess, cribbage and board games all available to play. Darts and Northamptonshire Skittles can be played in a raised area off the snug. Tiger is the mainstay ale but is normally accompanied by two rotating guests from the Everards portfolio and often includes a beer from the Brunswick Brewery in Derby. Food available Thursday - Sunday.

    • Pigeon 23 The Market Place Long Buckby NN6 7RR Telephone(01327) 843172

      Reopened in December 2021 following a period of closure during the middle of the Covid19 pandemic. The pub has undergone extensive refurbishment in contemporary style and the new owner has changed the name from the original Peacock to the Pigeon (reflecting the nickname given to the pub by the villagers in years gone by). It stands as one of the focal points in the market place as you enter the heart of this large village. Originally an NBC house, following the Watney's takeover, it underwent much internal and external reconstruction in the 1970's and all traces of the original separate bar areas were lost. Following this much needed refurbishment, it remains one very long open plan room, with large TV screens at either end. A pool table features at one end of the room, whilst the other end is comfortable seating. There is a courtyard garden at the back and a smoking area. This is primarily a drinkers' pub (no food is served) and will probably cater for a predominantly younger crowd. The ubiquitous Doom Bar seems to be the regular ale but the landlord plans to have an occasional guest beer on draught, hopefully from local county brewers.
