At the heart of Rushton

A village pub with a more polished dining room.

The Thornhill Arms combines the character of an old Northamptonshire limestone pub with a modern British kitchen. The focus is on seasonal produce, careful cooking, welcoming service and a drinks list that still feels unmistakably pub-like.

01
Seasonal British produce

The current kitchen emphasises ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers and dishes built around the season.

02
Country-pub atmosphere

Traditional stone, cosy rooms and a garden create a setting for both a pint and a special dinner.

03
Modern hospitality

Online reservations, polished menus and a stronger wine programme bring the historic pub firmly up to date.

Sunday at The Thornhill Arms

The roast is worth making plans around.

The current Sunday menu includes roast sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast chicken with apricot stuffing, loin of pork with crackling, plus vegetarian and fish alternatives. Roast dishes are served with potatoes, seasonal greens and cauliflower cheese.

A proper village pub

Come for lunch. Stay for another glass.

01 · The Bar

Well-kept ales & relaxed drinking

The pub remains somewhere you can simply stop for a drink, not just a restaurant with a bar attached.

02 · Dining

Modern British cooking

A more refined kitchen while keeping the recognisable warmth of a village pub dining room.

03 · Garden

Long afternoons outside

The pub is known for a spacious garden and outdoor seating when Northamptonshire weather allows.

Behind the bar

Good wine without losing the pub.

The current positioning pairs well-kept ales with a carefully selected wine list. That balance is central to the redesign: polished enough for dinner, relaxed enough for a pint.

Ales Classic pub drinking

Keep traditional beer and cask culture visually present alongside the dining programme.

Wine Thoughtfully selected bottles

A compact list of reds, whites, rosé and sparkling wines to match the menu.

Cocktails Modern bar options

Current listings also highlight cocktails and a full bar.

Dog Friendly Bar area welcome

OpenTable currently identifies a dog-friendly bar area.
