The Old Five Bells situated on the outskirts of Kingsthorpe Village traces back in local directories to beyond 1830 when it regularly featured its Tea Gardens and Quoits games within the local 'Northamptonshire Mercury'.

Quoits was a game that Northamptonshire was renowned for in the past and this establishment was one of the last pubs to host this game within the area.In 1993 the pub was acquired by new owners , McManus Taverns who re-named the pub the 'Frog & Fiddler'. Since which time the pub has undergone a many number of changes but finally the Old Five Bells has returned to it's traditional roots as a unrivalled local drinking establishment serving fabulous food.
