This newspaper’s Help Our Hospitality campaign continues to go strong, with weekly input from insightful individuals and businesses sharing their industry knowledge.

With every handful of new stories, which shed light on Northampton’s evolving hospitality scene, we like to provide you with a round-up of those who deserve your support.

As well as hearing from businesses in recent stories – as we have done since March when the campaign launched – we recently heard from the founder of an innovative social media platform making it easier to discover what is on offer locally.

Indi Local epitomises what this campaign is all about, as it champions and celebrates the hard work businesses put in to give their best to the community.

Here are nine more insightful individuals and businesses that have shared their industry knowledge for the Help Our Hospitality campaign…

Well-renowned cake baker Emily Armstrong was asked to take over The Old Stableyard Tearoom at Holdenby House at Easter time this year. The stableyard was transformed into a retro eatery with lots of vintage furniture and old-worldly items for customers to enjoy. Though the tearoom is now closed for the winter months, Emily will be back at Easter next year, ready to serve all the homemade goodies once again.

In the meantime, Emily will be picking up the venture that kickstarted her hospitality journey five years ago. Mill House is run from Emily’s home in Wootton and was set up with the aim of providing a tearoom-like experience. Emily has been inundated with cake orders, sells anything remaining as a ‘cakeaway’ and opens up her garden when the weather is nice. However, while The Old Stableyard is closed, the Mill House will open each Friday as a pop-up cake shop from October 13.
