WHETHER you’re after a relaxing round of golf in the sunshine, an afternoon tea, business lunch, or family celebration, few places compare to Overstone Park.

The resort, on the east side on Northampton near the villages of Sywell and Overstone, is set in 198 acres of countryside, originally set out in the 18th century by the landscape architect Capability Brown.

A multitude of dining experiences are on offer, from the contemporary Cedars bar and patio, to the recently refurbished and extended Terrace Restaurant or the new 40-seat balcony. All boast panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and the park’s emblem, the iconic cedar tree.

The extensive, locally sourced bar and restaurant menu changes seasonally and offers everything from traditional favourites to more refined choices all freshly prepared in house by an experienced brigade of chefs.

There is a traditional Sunday carvery from 12pm to 4pm with a choice of three meats and all trimmings, plus various themed evenings through the week. The recent addition of a new self-service salad bar offers a range of seasonal fresh salads available daily for just £4.95.

The park is also rapidly gaining a reputation as one of Northampton’s premier wedding venues. A dedicated and attentive team can cater for up to 120 day guests or 200 for an evening reception. Various packages are available, plus hotel accommodation on site for up to 60 people, including three spacious suites.
