Best KPortal Reviews
Extremely friendly bar staff, great deals on drinks, and because it's a traditional pub, and not a restaurant, there are no children running around. There's different things going on most nights and live music on Sundays. Customers are friendly and have good banter with the bar staff.
This is a pub. Sounds strange but it doesn't have any fanciness. It has cosy alcoves to hide in for a chat. The staff are pleasant and quick.
On the night we were there it was a rock / punk night. It was nice to see a full house. As for the age group it varied from 18 to 60.
I must say the drink was cheap with offers galore.
Call in see for yourself.
Nice clean comfortable pub with good choice of drinks and reasonable prices
Excellent today , staff were dealing with various football matches , and kept everyone happy .Nothing was to much trouble .
Not been in this pub for a few years, the beer was good and cheap. The rock music was excellent.
It's a good well priced local pub. No pretence just relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Staff are friendly, cider is good.
The last time I went in this pub it had a different name and I cannot remember what it was. Anyway this was a reunion visit to Kettering to meet up with friends from the 60s. This was our second pub. I liked it. service was good, prices reasonable and the place looked clean. What more do you want. Shame I live in Nottingham as I would use this place more often.
Unfortunately I cannot give the Stitching Pony more than 1 star due to the fact I was denied entry to the door under their dress code. No jogging bottoms allowed - now generally I have no issues with dress code because what the pub says, goes.
The issue is I had an operation recently, jogging bottoms are currently the only comfortable trousers I can actually wear. Jeans etc (and normally my go-to) trousers are incredibly uncomfortable for me. I explained my situation to the security door staff, while not sympathetic and unwilling to change their minds (It's their policy, not ours) they were very polite, their only offer was 'Can I go home and change?' which wasn't an option.
In the end we found somewhere else to go - I felt like I explained my situation well enough to the security staff but I still wasn't allowed in. I'd say if pub management read google reviews (and by the lack of responses to any, doesn't look like they do) I'd advise some sort of exception to the rule for situations like this. In the end you turned away 5 paying customers, unnecessarily, because of a blanket rule that wrongly identifies clothing with a class of people you clearly don't want in your pub.
I will not be returning (or trying to return) any time soon.
