The Great Doddington Club has been at the heart of the village for over a century and is a real community space. Starting out as a working men’s club, it is now a private club which welcomes new members throughout the year. Children are welcome and we are dog-friendly.

The Club offers a great drinks selection at very reasonable prices, freshly cooked food served on Friday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes and both Sky Sports & BT Sport.   

One of the main attractions of the Club is the fabulous uninterrupted view across the Nene Valley which you can admire from the large picture windows or from the outside terrace. On a good day it is possible to see seven village churches, the River Nene and Summer Leys Nature Reserve – where else could you see all this over a relaxing drink?
