• The most fantastic array of takeaways in any one town. You can get a curry, a kebab, a chinese, a burger, a pizza, Maccy D's or KFC, all within stumbling distance of the shittest clubs the country has to offer. You have to go out to one of the near by villages for a decent restaurant. I reccomend the Castle at Caldecot, personally, although you can get a half decent steak at the Miller Bar.
• Exeter chinese and the Bombay Dynasty
• MR CHOIS
• Kebab Kingdom is the shit when ur steamin on a saturday nite. although if i ate it sober i would spew. only jokin hilmi is the business!!! ** hes an actual pimp

• I have to admit to partaking of the famous "Corby Kebab" this is the mother of all kebabs from the house of chilli.
• hilmies minging kebab shop
• raffertys the kebabs taste like they're made of dog meat....mmmmm chunks of dog meat 'n' chilli sauce....but jonny wong's do a wicked malaysian chick hoooooooot
• Macdonalds (if u want to gawp at single mothers shouting at and slapping their kids around, while you eat of course)
• wouldn't touch Corby food with a 10 foot shitty stick!! You'd think people in Corby couldn't cook!!. There was a 50 yard queue at the chip shop the other day and they'd only been open 5 minutes.
• Nothing beats a kebab on friday and satuarday night after being out.
• Kingdom does the nicest Burgers. Mcdonalds makes me wanna shit all the time. KFC fillets have improved since the move. Taste of Chilli does a nice Donor and the infamous Corby kebab mine and any other piss heads pot of gold on a Friday night. There are a few pizza places but I never go in them.
• McDonalds and kfc couple of chip shops and the odd curry house in dodgy areas
• In the town thas all there is.

• McDonalds, 'Hadleighs' does good Chips and curry, 'A Taste of Chille' does nice chips too, There is a few Kebab shops too, and Pizza places.
• Got plenty of that in Corby. The inherited Glaswegian diet has contributed to Corby being 10th worst place to live for males dying young. Deep fried Mars bars, greasy food, alcohol and cigarettes. Corby also sells more Irn Bru than anywhere in England, surpassing Blackpool in Summer. It is also in the Guiness Book of Records for the Largest Haggis ever made.
• McDonalds, No other places apart from Indians and Chinese
• McDonalds, loads of chip shops, American Grill...

Pubs

• Harpers Brook
• The Pluto ;) all the way
• white hart for live band. open hearth if you're um, "fresh-faced"
• Corby is lacking a club and pubs for the age group of 25 and over people are going out of town to find adult entertainment as there are only a few decent pubs in Corby at the moment for e.g. Village-Inn and Piano bar.
• The Piano Bar- over 21's only- has live Piano Players!

• Da lincoln man bound 2 find me pals in there sortin me a bevvy n that

• go to storm if you under 18 cus its full of kids in there.
• Heavy, heavy party party down the umbiaaaaa cally cally, The calidonian is ok if u like fat monkey like barmaids, not mentioning any names,,,,,,,LISA
• Most of the pubs in corby seem to attract a lot of FRESH FACED people as this site calls them, that is why I never drink in any pubs in Corby. I Got fed up of going out in Corby because of the numerous arseholes who seem to frequent most of the pubs and hang around the streets picking fights with anyone that they don't like the look of!!!

• umm..... dont go in a pub where ur not known u wont cum out alive!tehe. loads ov lockins in pluto now kids in playin pool for muny n smokin blow all nite while landlord gets wrecked behind bar!
• um.... ooh.. that one in the lincon
• remember how good the Tree and the Gamebird were back in the day? What went wrong? i suppose the village is ok but have to stick to my locals (tree, cockrel)for a decent pint and a decent atmosphere.
• Anywhere down the village is good, everywhere else is full of rapists and murderers and psychopathic tracky people
• CORINTHIAN. easy going, friendly, great people, great atmosphere. cool in summer and warm in winter. the kind of pub u need. best pub in the town centre. sad 2 c tammy left tho, good luck 2 her in her new job tho.
• white heart or open hearth - descent bands on fri nights
• FUCKING BRILLIANT THERES NUTHIN QUITE LIKE HAVE A BEER AND A JOINT AND SITTIN DOWN TO WATCH A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO MATES. AHHHH CORBY U GOTTA LOVE IT.
• open hearth is da place 2 be !!!!!!
• hazel tree the ROCK!! (wwf)
• Take care if you like ice in your drinks. The Knight's Lodge is charging 50p for the privilege. No wonder it's always empty!
• If you like old men pretending their scots and if you like little boys thinking they are tough with dogs in short skirts and disgusting tops, there is no better place....distinct and acute lack of choice and quality.. i live in a town with a third of corbys population and it has 56 pubs!!!!
• The ROCK and the SHIRE are the dogs!!! the white heart has been tarnished due to two murdering scumbags!!!! not mentioning any names.... ANDREW FERRIE AND TOM McKINNON !! LEE WRIGHT FOREVER!!!! R.I.P
• The ROCK and the SHIRE are the dogs!!! the white heart has been tarnished due to two murdering scumbags!!!! not mentioning any names.... ANDREW FERRIE AND TOM McKINNON !! LEE WRIGHT FOREVER!!!! R.I.P
• Open hearth WKD!!!!!!
• The one and only Silver Band where the finest friendliest folk can be met.
• Open Hearth
• The Pluto, oh what a pub of distinction, friendly people good beer or is that good gear and don't forget to wear your stab proof all in one head to toes SAS protection suit
• The only thing at which Corby excels in. Well apart from teenage pregnancy, drugs and random beatings.
• candle or the white hart
• KK is the best in town, attracting good looking customers, serving cheap beer and showing every Celtic game on big screen. Those of you feeling brave should check out the Rock in the summertime. The Village Inn fancies itself as a trendy bar but falls WAY short of its own expectations. Everards has SO MUCH POTENTIAL it's unreal, but its never fuckin open. And when it is it's about 3 quid a pint. And what do the landlords do with the profits? Not enjoy them thats for sure judging by the greetin faces on them.
• the demise of the "Kings Arms" weldon like Arkwrights shop "open all hours"
• no point going to barcode cos its full of youths who think they can drink but by the time they realise they can't handle their drink its too late cos they're already fighting outside mcdonalds!!!
• open hearth on a friday, sometimes have bands.
• Loads but most are gash... best ones are the ones with live music.. the open hearth, the fisher and so on
• Sondes Arms in Rockingham (part of the Corby Borough). Has loads of character and is a good place to take visitors for a meal or just a drink
• The Raven Piano Bar is nice for a change
• Its been burnt down
• the corinthian
• open hearth, village inn (lotsa lads)
• The kingfisher, again on the Lodgey estate!!!
• excervice manz (near asda) the pluto the domino ....
• We need some good pubs in the town centre that people would actually like to be in and would make a better nite life
• DA PLUTO USED 2 B A WKD PUB UNTILL DA JUNKIES N SLUTS (AHEM DA KETTLE SISTERS) ALL DECIDED THEY WANTED 2 TABLE DANCE N HAVE FUN WITH BUDWISER BOTTLES INFRONT OF DA WHOLE PUB
• THE KETTLES-OWNED BY SISTERS YOU;VE PROBERLY HEARD OV THEM (EVERYONES BEEN THERE) DIRTY
• Spread Eagle - ace on a wednesday, absoloute pishe any other day, mainly due to the f***ing moaning bitch landlady who makes Lisa Riley look annorexic! Oh just thought I'd mention that John Paul Walsh - JP (weirdo) to his mates has fancied Corinna for years!
• dont go to maddasons its full of fucking idiots, i suppose its the only way to get it busy is to let in all the scum, yeh new name for STORM = SCUM,coz thats wot its full of, oh and whos the new lanlady, she looks like a fuckin gypsy, but sounds like rab c nesbits mrs MARY DOLL,
• the candle the talsman the spread eagle
• village inn
• There are about 50 pubs in corby. Thats not an exageration. Thats probably about as much as a city.
• every estate in corby has at least 2 or 3 pubs and not 1 of them is worth going 2 Your better off going to Kettering where u have no fear of being bottled (unless some corby twats went over there 2 just to cause trouble)there's a better atmosphere (change that to AN atmosphere)and nobody knows u're business
• ooo the rock and if u eva need a good piss wile ur down the wessie take a lil walk to the EVZ nah meen? by leah cowie n josie docherty
• the rock!!!!!!!!! only coz the best ppl drink up there like erm!!!!! SEXY MUZZY MUIR!!!!!!!!!! and coz jess livs near it!!! peace out!!!
• GO N SEE JP IN DA CARDIGAN!!
• Open Hearth, Everards, Madisons.
• village innand madisons are really good. so is the white heart sumtimes. try to stay clear of the town pubs if your not on the dole or if your over 15 years of age!!
• the candle,square peg,the lincon
• In Corby, the only place to go that isn't offensively shite, or full of drugged up townie head cases, is the Spread Eagle on a Wednesday. If you get drunk enough there, you can always go on to Bar Code, which isn't any good, but stays open 'til 1am. Still, they all play very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad music, not matter where you go.
• Hiyaaaa!!! Em well the pub that I really like is The Irish Club. pure good. I don't live in Corby but my Dad does and when I visit him that's where I go. Oh and I really don't like the remarks from the corby people about the scottish accent and all that. I am from scotland and I usd to like Corby people but I'm starting to Have a different view!!!
• All the decent ones are in the villages.
• Ah but there was the Corinthian, once where you could place an order for anything you wanted or needed and delivery was usually only a couple of hours away. When entertainment could range from drug deals to a guy called Terry being carried out down the escalators past the local shoppers with an axe in his head. How i miss those days, you would think that in America where i now live this kind of thing would happen all the time, however it doesn't i think only in good old Corby does this happen
• NO WONDER THE KNIGHTS LODGE HAVN'T GOT MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE LANDLORD THEY'VE GOT THEY DONT CALL THEM FRED AND MARY WEST THE SERIAL PUB KILLERS FOR NOTHING
• Crap
• The Open Hearth, back in the late 60s & early 70s, great night out at the disco with Dougie King as the dj.
• WOT DO YOU EXPECT WITH THE KNIGHTSLODGE PUB IT IS RUN BY FRED AND MARY WEST THE SERIAL PUB KILLERS
• WOT DO YOU EXPECT WITH THE KNIGHTS LODGE IT IS RUN BY FRED AND MARY WEST THE SERIAL PUB KILLERS
• gamebird was a cool hangout.
• pluto corinthian candle rock phoenix square peg lincoln
• mccann could not fight his way out of a brown paper bag. I know because I was in the bag with him and he fell out with me because the paper was wet.
• Hazel Tree £1 a drink you cant go wrong
• the fisher, corby supporters, silver band
• i think that the bouncers down the village are absoulutly ace much better than the wankers b4. they are freindly and polite as well as georgous. Corby is a great nite out wot ever you say
• The knights lodge used to be a good pub, shame its being run by Fred & Mary , most miserable landlords in Corby
• Pubs in Corby are gash. The Hazel Tree used to be pumpin' with all us handsome and intelligent Celtic fans. All the pubs are a 3-day trek from each other and you end up forking out £10-£15 on taxis on a night out. Also I don't like getting bottled so its the Spread Eagle for me, even though the landlady is a fat humourless bint.
• Visit the Talisman in Danesholome after its redevelopment, Good drinks, big screen TV discos and quizzes. Also try the newly opened Talisman restaurant, a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere with a good wide ranging menu. Bookings not always necessary
• Loads and Loads of pubs there all good they serve drink!
• village inn to small maddasons too small oh yeah and there full of wankers who think they are hard
• Dont go in any of them. if you do, you wont come out alive unless you are tooled up. If you get desparate, just use a bottle , dont worry about being the odd one out, everybody else does.
• MADISONS/VILLAGE INN/WHITE HART..ALL THIS IN THE OLD VILLAGE WHO NEEDS TO TRAVEL OUT OF THE VILLAGE
• on a Friday The Hazel Tree is the place to be. With a £1.50 entry fee and all drinks a pound, you can't go wrong! on a saturday you should either go to the village for a few in La Poste and The Village Inn or just go to Kettering as the pubs r wkd!
• THE ALL NEW MADDISONS / MORGANS THE FORMER LA-POSTE / PULSE AS FROM THE 09 NOV 01
• Spread eagle is quite good
• There was only two pubs for me, The White Horse down the village last stop before Bips. But the best was Rafters every Friday, Saturday night. Also you couldn't beat Saturday dinnertime with Dave Bateman playing those tracks Revolutionary Spirits by The Wild Swans, Blancmange 'Feel Me' and A Flock Of Seagulls 'I Ran'.
• The Knights Lodge has gone down hill since Don left, the new landlords are rude and unfriendly also more than half the regulars refuse to go there or have been barred for petty things. Also no children allowed when they have a beer garden, or dogs.
• What's happened to the Knight's Lodge? Everyone looks so depressed.
• oh this is a Corby speciality...Eves, The Rock (if u have a death wish!) Raging Speedhorn played there 1st ever gig there, the open arse oops! i mean hearth ;) , the village inn (for the more up market alcoholic, the knight's lodge, the spread (full of teachers) the candle (a bit dodgy) etc etc
• "La Poste" refutes the suggestion that the barmaids are working part-time as prostitutes and will thus continue to file for compensation from "Northern Leisure PLC" and Mr Bip Wetherall who started these malicious rumours.
• The Raven used to be pumping at the weekend,I used to have to squeeze through,now it is dead!
• White Hart.........changed a bit but still a good nite there
• VIOLENCE HAS KILLED THE CORBY LOCAL
• could be here all day naming the pubs in corby
• La Poste (at lunch time) Fast service especially for bar snacks, which are wholesome and very reasonable. Avoid Village Inn at lunch time - I had to wait OVER an hour for a plate of nachos - how hard can it be???
• hazel tree (recomended alot of other pubs have un wanted crowds outside) pluto raven hotel(recomended) shire horse king fisher white hart open hearth (gayish pub)
• The Royal George, Cottingham O.K it's just outside Corby, but a good pub all the same.
• whoever mentioned the KNIGHT'S LODGE. stop it. most corby people don't even know of it's existence, and we would rather keep it that way. the only pub in corby that doesn't smell of marijuana. bring back Don.
• The Village Inn is very popular these days followed by La Poste, which is across the road, as one empties the other fills up. After a good skin full you can stagger into The pluse night club, which is at the back of La Poste. If you've never been out in Corby you don't no what your missing, its not that bad, as long as you like a good drink.
• the office (page three) the game bird (the raven)
• Page Three, George St Corby. Monday, Indie Night till 1.00am Wednesday Night, Karaoke & Disco night till 1.00am Thursday Night Live Groups Indie & Rock, Disco and Quiz Friday Disco, Loud & Proud, Saturday, Disco and Big Video Screen Thursday, Friday, and Saturday till Midnight.
• Below Bips Nightspot on George Street is Page Three Fun Pub Mondays is Indie Night, Wednesday Karaoke, Thursday Disco live Groups and a Quiz night. Friday night Page Three with DJ Ian Bateman, who has been in the pub since 1980.
• Cardigan Arms, Stanion is just greaaaaaaaaat
• The 'Gamebird' which has recently changed its name to 'The Raven'.It got a 'Beatles' theme now. Always packed on Saturday nights, if you want to sit down you have to get there at about 8 o'clock. The Raven has a resturant too and it's a hotel.
• No you are talking. Fancy a Real Ale ?? The knight Lodge on Tower Hill Road is a must. This is a quiet beer drinkers pub with No MUSIC ! For load music and mad people try any other pub in the town.
• If you're after a good beer, then try a Pils down the Rockingham Arms. It's powerful stuff. The pub itself is a bit rough with people of a questionable drinking age. Still, it's good fun. If it's a social life you want, go to the Spread Eagle at Oakley Hay. It's a bit out of the way, but the beer's not bad and it's full of people, especially on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends. If you're after a fight, go anywhere else :)
• Corby has loads of pubs, ranging from pretty good to absolutely dire. The Hazel Tree has a pretty good atmosphere and gets really packed at weekends. The Rockingham Arms (or The Rock) as it's called is also worth a mention, if only because it has 6% Pils on tap! But don't visit if you don't like the smell of smoke!

• The Bus station cafe. Complete with authentic nudge machine and miserable hag waitress danglin NO.6 ash into your cup of bird's mellow coffee. Pearl and Dean interior, complete with bu bu bu bah ba ba ba juke box. Class. I don't know why you all complain so much.
• THE INTERNET CAFE ON CORPORATION STREET IS THE BEST THING ON OFFER.
• The schooner chippy where all the giro people go
• bus station, a time warp back to the seventies, they still sell jubblies, (triangular frozen ice block of ozone flavoured pish popular when bill bixby was still on the telly)
• Littlewoods tea room - every Saturday after the pub or each day at dinner time whilst at the tech.
• too many chip shops and no where decent to go for coffee in the town at all.
• er..Bakers on Occupation Road
• Helena´s cafe is not, and it repeats, not an Amsterdam style Cafe-Bar.While it sympathises with the Corby "Liberal Ganja" movement, it can not be held responsible for the activities on it´s property.Legal herbal highs will of course still be sold behind the counter for a nominal fee (they are not Magic Mushrooms).
• the new Nescafe cyber cafe is a step in the right direction but sadly lacks in moccachinos & frappachinos.
• A meeting place like a coffee shop would be great!like the one in friends.
• THE GREEDY PIG CAFE
• ripoff
• Hazels in Weldon (outskirts of Corby). Quiet (VERY) but great homemade cakes.
• littlewoods rip off though
• Helena`s Cafe, try the BIG BREAKFAST fresh food, worth checking out on Rockingham Road.
• The waitresses in the American Grill all need a good shafting!!
• Helena's Cafe, still going strong, serving up a mega breakfast all day. Check it out.
• helinas cafe rockinham road

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

Have Your Say...

You can tell us more about Corby. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Corby.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
