Excuse me whilst I eat all the festive treats whilst saying 100 times “it’s Christmas, why not!” 😂 have you booked a festive afternoon tea yet in Northamptonshire? Don’t forget to share your festive photos in Northants using #NavigatingNorthants!

📍 Festive Afternoon tea costs £24.50 per person and you can find Whittlebury Park Hotel at Whittlebury, Near Towcester, NN12 8QH

LET’S SPILL THE TEA! 😜

Happy Monday! I’ve had quite a few new followers join me here on Nicole Navigates so thought it was time to re-introduce myself! ☺️

👋🏼 I’m Nicole, a 27 year old digital marketing executive for a murder mystery outdoor events company by day and a content creator/blogger any other time for Nicole Navigates
📍 I live in Towcester with my partner of 4 years, Josh and we’ve lived together for 2 years!
👠 Nicole Navigates is my blog where I’m on a mission to navigate Northamptonshire and share what makes the county great from independent & local businesses, food & drink, places to go and things to do!
❤️ I’m a big foodie fan, love going on local and afar adventures, a big coffee fan and I’m a seaside girl at heart!
💭 Fun facts: I’m half deaf in one ear, I studied musical theatre at University of Chichester and I filmed as an extra in the Les Miserables film right here in Northampton!

Tell me 3 fun facts about you and I’d love to know how long you’ve followed me/where you’ve followed me from!

📌 If you’re looking for a guide on how to navigate Northamptonshire and make the most of the county, you can check out my posts, reels and read my blog!

AD - Press invite ☕️ Festive Afternoon tea at Bell Plantation starts next weekend!

If you’re looking for something to do in Northamptonshire this Christmas, a festive afternoon tea will tick all the boxes and thankfully, @bellplantationgc have theirs open for pre-booking - I don’t think I’ve ever been presented an afternoon tea on a spinning clock before! 🤩

Enjoy delights like Turkey and cranberry, Brie rocket and tomato sandwiches, Christmas tree shortbread, sausage and leek rolls and of course the all important cinnamon infused scone 🤤

Whilst you’re enjoying your food, you MUST browse around their Christmas displays because they’re just breathtaking and it makes for a wonderful afternoon out - me and my mum love it! ❤️

🎄 Festive Afternoon tea is available Monday to Saturday from 3pm and you can have all this from £12.49 per person which is a bargain this Christmas! Find them at NN12 6GX

Who are you taking with you to enjoy this? 👀

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Northamptonshire 🎄

I LOVE this time of year so much! It brings me such joy and being busy with lots of plans motivates me too - it’s felt especially nice to have my blogging and content mojo back 🤩

Yesterday I shared a blog post on some of the festive things you can do in Northamptonshire this Christmas which include:

✨ Christmas light switch on by @northamptonbid and @westnorthants in Northampton town centre
☕️ Festive afternoon teas from @whittleburypark and @bellplantationgc
🎁 Late night Christmas shopping at @beckworthemporium
✂️ Christmas wreath making at @silverstonedistillery
🚗 Lap of Lights at @silverstonecircuit

Are you as excited as I am!? 😍 I’m also having a very festive day that includes two of these activities I shared above! Tell me in the comments what you’ve got planned for Christmas in Northants 👇🏻

(Also don’t forget to share your Northamptonshire festive photos using the original #NavigatingNorthants hashtag ✌🏼)

AD - PR 😍 I have to let you know about this fabulous cosy countryside pub that’s an ideal date night!

Once upon a time, @redlioneasthaddon set themselves up as a fine dining restaurant and whenever I visited I always thought it was okay! But since they’ve relaunched, it’s a totally different vibe (for the better!) 👌🏼

I’m going to write a full blog post detailing the evening but for summary, here’s all the delicious food we had (swipe for foodie goodness 🤤)

🫕 Sharing Baked Somerset Camembert with beetroot and horseradish chutney
🥟 Honey and Soy Pork Belly with sesame and chilli, stir fried rice topped with crispy vegetable wontons
🥩 Brisket Daube & Dumplings
🍹 Rum Chocolate Brownie with vanilla ice cream
🍪 Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

A lovely relaxing evening and one to put on your list of places to check out in Northamptonshire! Have you visited since their relaunch? 👀

📍 Find The Red Lion, East Haddon on Main Street, East Haddon, Northampton, NN6 8BU

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning…

We will remember them ❤️

BURGERS, DIRTY SIDES, FRIES AND MORE 😍 have you

BURGERS, DIRTY SIDES, FRIES AND MORE 😍 have you checked out @7boneburgerco on St Giles Street!?

Because I hadn’t until this weekend and lemme tell you, I was super impressed with how quick a Saturday lunch service was! The menu is jam-packed with some delicious meaty items (and non-meaty as they have a decent veggie and vegan menu) and it’s great to see this fab retail unit being used on the local high street for something tasty 😋

I could’ve eaten wayyyy more than I did (hello hungry eyes 👀) but we went for:

🍔 Ronald’s Revenge burger with cheese, minced onions, ketchup, mustard and pickles
🥒 Frickles aka fried pickles!
🥩 Frankie Says Rilassare burger with smashed meatballs, nona’s marinara, garlic butter mayo, grana padano and melted mozzarella
🍗 Dirty Kim Jong Wang chicken wings coated in gochujang, sesame seeds and spring onions

I’d come here again for a quick feast with friends and family, or might even be tempted to travel from Towcester for a takeaway (there’s rumours it might be coming this way too 🤫)

Does this sound right up your street? 📍Find 7Bone on 47-49 St Giles Street, Northampton, NN1 1JF
