From Northampton, head out towards Welford on the A5199. Continue until you pass through Church Brampton. Immediately after this village, there is a farm track on the right, followed by one on the left. You need the next track on the right! This will lead you to the field. You may find it easier to continue over the old crossing and turnaround.
If you are at Pitsford and Brampton station, you can also reach this spot if you walk along the line, then cross into the field at the old crossing.
You can park at the station and walk, or park alongside the field down the lane.
None easily available.
The station has toilets, and there is also a restaurant carriage, which is currently tucked away behind the shop (2008), but it is there and serves all kinds of snacks.
There is a pub at the main entrance to the railway, but please consider also trying these:
Spencer Arms in Chapel Brampton.
Fox and Hounds at Harlestone.
The Windhover (off Brampton lane, a stones through from the lines southern extension). This is quite a new pub, but does serve good food, and more importantly, fine ale!
