Potterspury House is a family-run business that is such a hidden gem that everyone needs to know about - I’m thrilled to share with you their Caribbean Fusion Takeaway which uses slightly different ingredients that may not be within your traditional Caribbean dishes - but I promise it’s gonna surprise and greatly satisfy you! 😋⁣
⁣
We indulged in their Auntie Marlin’s box meal which includes curry goat, rice, veggie patties, Mac & cheese and brown stew chicken 🍗 plus their variety wing box which pops, bangs and sizzles with authentic Caribbean flavours from jerk, buffalo and even mango and lime! 🥭 ⁣
⁣
I’ve written a full review which is now live on the blog where you can find out more about what’s included and my honest thoughts (spoiler: it was one of the best meals I’ve tasted 🤤)⁣
⁣
They currently run their Caribbean Fusion Takeaway on Friday and Saturday evenings and offers have to be made 24 hours in advance! 📆 ⁣

I have been reminiscing about all the places I want to visit and return to and I’ve found some hidden gems in my camera roll! One of you lovely followers reminded me about tacos and cocktails at @thegaribaldihotel and I definitely need to make a comeback 🤤⁣
⁣
The margarita’s were a highlight and I am so excited to meet up with friends for a few bevvys with a meal (or not, because we want to!) and I’ve already booked 5 places in Northants for various outdoor dining and pub garden occasions! 🥰⁣

Happy National Beer Day... 🍻
⁣
I have a confession; I thought today was National Beer Day here in the UK so I put together this new #NorthantsFoodGuide especially for the blog and occasion, but turns out I had found the US National Day 🤦🏻‍♀️ but we move on and we celebrate regardless haha (the UK one is June 15th btw!⁣) 👀

Who is Nicole Navigates? 👀 hello new followers, welcome to the Navigating Northants community! ⁣
⁣
It’s been a while since I re-introduced myself, so thought this would be the time. Here we go...⁣
⁣
👋🏼 I’m Nicole, 26 years old (typical Cancarian born in July) and I run, manage and write/create content for this Northamptonshire focused blog, Nicole Navigates which is your guide to navigating the county’s independent eats, shops and places to go!⁣ I’ve been writing about that topic since 2016 so I’ve been doing it for a while!
⁣
🏡 I live with my boyfriend, Josh (we met via online dating lol) in our house in Towcester, Northamptonshire and I’ve lived in the town for over 15 years but was originally born in Kent (anyone know where Dymchurch is!?)⁣
⁣
👩🏻‍💻 I have a Musical Theatre degree from @universityofchichester but decided to go down a different route from my dream of performing in the West End, so worked my way up in social media and I work as a Digital Marketing Executive for an outdoor adventure company (I love it!)
⁣
💭 Fun facts: I have one younger brother, I love to sing and perform and (usually) take part in local pantomime once a year, I have 60% hearing loss in my left ear, I filmed as an extra for the film Les Miserables at @boughton_house_official and I didn’t talk until I was 6 due to a speech and language impairment and now I can’t shut up!⁣
⁣
❤️ I love a nap and can’t go without a cheeky afternoon one, I’m a big foodie, I love watching musicals on tv or in the theatre, long walks, gin and wine, exploring what’s in my local area, my family & friends and I might have an obsession with cheese.⁣
⁣
👎🏻 Birds freak me out (don’t ask why), I dislike parsnips, I have PCOS which is a lotta fun, I can’t stand people being fake and injustice and I’m awful at watching films (I fall asleep!)⁣
⁣
If you made it this far - well done! That’s a few weird, fun and wonderful(?) facts about me! Now I want YOU to tell me a bit about yourself. Are you new around here? Have you been with me for a while? Tell me some facts about YOU like where you’re from, the weirder and wonderful the better! 🤪⁣

Happy Easter everyone! This bank holiday weekend h

Happy Easter everyone! This bank holiday weekend has been eggcelent! 🐣⁣
⁣
It’s truly been a lovely weekend so far and it’s not over yet! Easter treats and chocolates, a garden party (with 6 of us!) nice walks around Northants and today we’re off for a Sunday lunch in the garden with my parents. It’s feeling like normality is coming back 🥰⁣
⁣
I wanted to share a few Easter treats from the weekend from various local & independent businesses 🐰 we don’t usually do Easter and granted, it was all quite last minute but I tried to support local 🤍⁣
⁣
Let me know how you’ve been spending your Easter weekend and if you’ve purchased any treats from any local businesses! Now excuse me whilst I consume A LOT of chocolate... 🍫 ⁣

NEW VIETNAMESE STREET FOOD TAKEAWAY IN NORTHAMPTON

NEW VIETNAMESE STREET FOOD TAKEAWAY IN NORTHAMPTON 🥢 ⁣
⁣
It’s been a while Northampton! I had to get my hands on the latest foodie takeaway that’s just opened and it’s none other than @_hanoi.corner_ who are serving traditional Vietnamese street food! 😍⁣
⁣
They had their soft opening today and I picked up some lunch to take home! Their menu is plentiful, with choices between baguettes and jasmine rice with a very meaty filling menu (no signs of vegetarian or vegan fillings yet but they’re just starting out!) and plenty of delicious sides! 😍⁣
⁣
I had the roasted belly pork with crispy skin with jasmine rice, plus I got to nibble on a selection of pork and summer spring rolls (the pork ones were the highlight for me - soooo crispy 🤤)⁣
⁣
Give this place time and they’ll be golden, but for my first taste, I really enjoyed my lunch and I am thrilled to see a new street food vendor in Northampton and I’ll be back to take Josh next time! 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
