‘A huge thank you to everyone’: Brackley inn named South Northamptonshire pub of the year for food
The popular High Street pub was praised for the quality of its food.
A Brackley pub has been voted the best in South Northamptonshire for food in a competition organised by local MP Sarah Bool.
The Greyhound Inn received the Gold award in the MP’s South Northamptonshire Pub of the Year 2026 competition.
Sarah Bool invited members of her constituency to vote online for their favourite local pubs and venues.
A total of 52 pubs were nominated for awards and more than 2,100 votes were cast.
Pub owner Janene Butters thanked customers and local residents who voted for The Greyhound in this year’s competition.
She said: “I’m honestly over the moon. It’s one thing to receive an award but knowing that our own customers took the time to vote for us makes it mean so much more.
“I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted, supports us, visits regularly or recommends us to friends and family. We never take that support for granted.
“This award is also about every single person who works here and the effort they put in day in, day out. I couldn’t be prouder of them.”
Janene also praised the pub manager, kitchen team and other staff for maintaining high standards in the food and drink they serve.
She added: “I must give a special mention to Louise Randall, who has managed the pub since 2013. She’s an incredible manager, always goes above and beyond and is someone I can rely on completely.
“Our kitchen team deserve so much credit, too. They put a huge amount of effort into the food we prepare and serve and take real pride in what they do.
“The same goes for our bar and service teams. Every person plays their part, and this award is something we can all be proud of.”
Janene also praised staff for helping to create a welcoming atmosphere at the pub.
She said: “The truth is, we’re more like a family than just a team of people who come to work together. I think that’s what makes The Greyhound what it is.
“Customers often tell us how friendly and welcoming it feels when they walk through the door, and that makes me so happy.”
