McDonalds mostly
Deep fried cans of Irn Bru and Skag. Anything after that is seen as the devil's shite.

McDonalds, KFC, Perfect Pizza, tons of Indians and Chinese take aways. Best chippy by far is in the old village but its hardly ever opened.

JUST EAT TO THE BEAT
Wing Hing Chinese is good. As is KFC.
Sauucy Chef by argos is the best place going with wiked staff n brilliantly cooked food
chippys and pizza shopsand kfc and chinese
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
Hilmi hamburger serves the worst food ever.Stay away from Kebab Kingdom cos Hilmi will try and pimp ur ass!Ive been around plenty of times to see him try and pimp little 15 year olds.I would recommend flames if u were wantin somethin to eat and it is only down the road!
Poisoning
The best take away as far as Fish and Chips is at Pychley Court, lots to eat.
mcdz, pytchly for the burgerz
greedy pigs for all you fat bastards or hilmies kebabs for u classy peeps
hilmi does a mean kebab at kebab kindom, just wot u need afta a shite nite at escape
mcdonalds!!! up the town not near asda that is gross!!! kfc! which now i hav to walk a mile too now that they moved it! and changed it to a pizza shop when there is 1 rite next door!
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.
Have to go outdside of corby to take kids for a nice meal
If you like greasy fried food come to Corby..what the hell is a deep fried battered creme egg, I mean?!
MC MC MC MC DONALDS
pytchley court fish an a chip
Exeter indian, location is bad but the food is really nice. Also Bombay Dynasty and The Red Fort where the waiters are friendly. The old white hart at Lyddington is really nice but not in Corby.
MACCY D'S, KFC, littlewoods caf lol, american grill, loadsa chippy's (bets ones r Rafferty's and pytchley ct, but u can get lovely BATTERED MARS BARS, creme eggs at easter and mince pies :s at xmas at the one on beanfield.) loadsa chineses-Mr Chois is good and the Shajahan Indian on Rocky Road. OH! and Helena's cafe for a nice greasy fry up!
"The Raj" in Kettering has failed in the attempted take over of Rockingham Road Indian, and to celebrate this from the 1st of May 2001 they will be offering "all you can eat for a fiver" meals.Fridays and Saturdays only

THE NEW FLAMES GRILL DOES GREAT BACON SARNIES WITH LOADS OF MAYO!!!!!
Indian Restaurant Greenhill Rise, Chicken Tikka Masala is mmmmmmmmmmmm
Great Friendly Waiters. Cheap food midweek.
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!
candle, breakfast n a pint 4.50 what can i say!!!!!!!!!!
i like nightclubs
The white hart,good beer,good music and no trouble,a quality pub
stay clear of the lincoln unless you want stabbed or your bag robbed
the rock just keep an eye on tez the clown
There are no outstanding pubs in corby, the spread on a wednesday (quiz night) is as good as it gets.
RANGERS CLUB OFCOURSE
A real ever-changing scene here, as rival owners of the current in-gaff await it's inevitable arson attack and pick up it's custom.
Da lincoln man bound 2 find me pals in there sortin me a bevvy n that
Harpers Brook - the new pub on Oakley Vale
Typical corbyite pubs like The White Hart, the local place to get beaten up and have your eyes gouged out. Others like the Spread Eagle and Harper Brooks actually are ok.
The Corby Candle and The Danesholme Club
labour clubs gt tha best atmosphere anywhere in corby evry1s friendly and theres always gud music wif a wide selection of drinks 2 get hammerd off

Piano Bar previously Gamebird aimed at the over 25's and is a great place for the mature drinker. Live entertainment every friday and saturday nights. Its a great place to take the family for sunday lunch it also has a bouncy castle for the kids
Any that the morning after play. great band
plenty of these
the pubs are crap here...same as bips taste..hes another fool!
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

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.

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!
Cafes and Coffee Shops
Planet Coffee, soon to have Costa Coffee and Cafe Mozart.
planet coffee up town lol! ;)
The courtyard cafe in corby the owner is a skank and a greedy pig andthefood is crap ...
bussie, classic!!!
i hate coffee

mcdonalds
THE SAUCY CHEF!!!!! BES MILKSHAKES EVER!! JUST SMELLS BRILL

coffee doesnt usually have alcohol in it so there arn't any coffee shops.
MCDONALDS!!!! and westgate cafe with the ugly man who wouldn't let us in
Planet coffee! finally we've got a trendy little cafe that serves nice, healthy, tasty food instead of having to go round to the dirty greasepit that is the tasty chef.
none of them beat the old bus station cafe.
The Stardust does a cracking breakfast for £1.50 all the grease you can eat and a lungfull of Craven A smoke for free mmmm sounds great
hellenas cafe
Helena's cafe is ok. Greedy Pig fuckin rules - don't know anyone who's actually finished a Big Breakfast. Saucy Chef should be closed down, not due to health reasons, but because its shite.
the oasis cafe is at the top of westgate co-op, but its a bit expensive
the chippy by the taxi rank, pukka food.
Loads of kosovan cafs opening
Planet Coffee has just opened on the balcony and does all the fancy coffees like Latte's etc. Has a nice feel to the place too. We need more like this!

The New 'Planet Coffee' on the balcony is lovely. There's a real cosmoplitan feel and lots of specialist coffee for Java lovers

Sauucy Chef by argos is the best place going with wiked staff n brilliantly cooked food
helena's cafe is good.so is the greedy pig, they do a mean brekkie.. really helpful after a heavy nite out!
bus station cafe was one of the best cafes in town, food hot and the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was brilliant its a pity its closed down due to united counties pulling out.
Hilmis Shop is the best shop in corby ;-)
Westgate cafe - not as many blue rinsies as Littlewoods
I remember eating out at the Wimpy bar. They used to have pretty good food. Wish they still had one in Corby.
helenas cafe was the best cafe in corby
remember scotch pie, mash,and gravy in katrinas,or fighting to get in to the bakers oven when they banned cb'ers from littlewoods yeah
greedy pigs
shcooners

the old fella who sells ice cream in the summer.
WE GOT SOME LOW-BUDGET INTERNET CAFE PLACE BUT IT'S KOOL 'COS IT'S FRIENDLY, CHEAP AND THE GUY WHO WORKS THERE KNOWS ABOUT GOOD MUSIC, CHEERS SHAWN.
We could do with a post modernistic coffee hang out!
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.
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.
