About the restaurant

Executive Chef Steve Bott

The Snooty Fox is a pub with a difference and Northamptonshire's finest freehouse - there is so much to sample, you’ll need to revisit many times - and you’ll always be assured of a Snooty Fox welcome whenever you do.

The pub itself is a truly stunning place in the heart of Lowick, a lovely village with a great community spirit.

The Greedy Gordons Pub Group were thrilled to take over the pub in 2020 and wanted to create an unusual and quirky venue with food and drink to match.

About the restaurant

After catching the latest blockbuster, conquering the indoor climbing wall and indulging in some retail therapy, it's time to refuel at Bill's. Our Rushden Lakes restaurant is the perfect stopping point for some grub, whether you're kickstarting your day with breakfast or winding down after an activity-packed schedule. Grab a menu and choose from our range of seasonal food with a twist, with everything from BBQ bourbon burgers to truffle chicken available. And if you have little ones in tow, don't miss the kid's pancake parlour. Between 3pm and 5pm daily, they can create their own pancakes using a range of tasty toppings.

As usual Bills service and food top notch . The restaurant was very busy and our waiting staff were working very hard to keep on top of everything. My only negative comment is that the toilets at the restaurant are in need of updating - they are still serviceable (just) but considering how well maintain the rest of establishment is they really could do with a spruce up and replace well worn furnishings and taps.

Our 17th century country pub is more than just your local. Think of a roaring fire in the winter, a sun trapped courtyard garden in the summer and seasonally changing menus that reflect the best of the British Isles.

The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive during our visit. There is a fine selection of foods available on the menu which was delicious. The only negative thing was the temperature inside the restaurant given the weather at this time. We understood that they were having issues with the air conditioning units and so we became quite uncomfortable as the evening went on. We have visited on other occasions and have enjoyed our time there.
