If you need somewhere totally local, Burton Latimer hosts Indian restaurants that offer exceptional eats. Even though it's tucked away in the Northamptonshire countryside, the village has attracted some talented South Asian chefs, and places like Nazreen are definitely up there with anything you'll find in Kettering, Northampton or Birmingham. Local curry houses mix things up nicely, with superb versions of British favourites and lesser-known delicacies like lamb khomani, which uses apricots to add a delicious touch. They're sure to satisfy experienced curry fans and novices alike.

But Indian restaurants in Burton Latimer aren't the only option for foodies to try in the local area. There are also some tempting family-oriented places that specialise in cooking up dishes both kids and adults will love. Take the Smoke Pit in Northampton, for example. The restaurant’s American-inspired menu is full of enticing dishes, from BBQ ribs and pulled pork burgers to breakfast meals like smoked brisket and ham with a fried egg. And their menu for kids will keep everyone happy with its mini versions of grown-up dishes. Add in chocolate and oreo shakes and expertly made amaretto sours, and diners have everything they need for a great afternoon meal.
