• Barbecue • Tiffield

Upper Farm is set in the Northamptonshire countryside — shaped by Julian’s English roots, Bruna’s Brazilian heritage, and a shared love of bringing people together.From that, the Brazilian BBQ Supper Club was created. A gathering that feels more like being hosted at home than going out.In the English countryside, dining has always been about gathering - long tables, sharing a meal, people helping themselves, and staying a little longer. In Brazil, churrasco carries that same spirit - a little louder, around the coals, the smoke, and the flavour of traditional Brazilian comfy food.At Upper Farm, the two come together. Meats are cooked slowly over open coals and served as they’re ready, in generous, golden cuts. Alongside them, vibrant, fresh traditional accompaniments, in a beautiful Upper Farm setting.Selected dates every two weeks, with additional evenings for England fixtures. Limited seats. £34 per person excluding drinks.

Very nice experience at this restaurant. We were running late, and they were happy to accommodate by moving the booking 15 minutes ahead. One diner has issues with certain foods, that can affect his medication. This was taken on board and dealt with professionally and with care, offering substitutes to cater for his needs. Food was very tasty - portions quite small, but that isn't an issue for us, preferring quality over quantity. Definitely one to recommend.

A three night stay celebrating the wife's birthday. Had dinner and was treated to special attention and celebratory prosecco. Food and drink during other times and days was very good. It's a little pricey but good value, good quality, and timely. The mrs. is happy...
