The Captain Noel Newton in Rutland

Great place for a catch up and brunch with a friend.

Good food and cheap price for drinks, especially for oakham

I was not told that I needed to collect my orange juice from the bar so by the time I asked about it, it had been left unattended on the bar for around 10 minutes and my friend had to ask multiple times to get a straw.

i had wanted a straw, i asked the waitress for a straw and she apparently said they don’t have any. i then asked another waiter for a straw and he immediately brought me one! this is outrageous! and then i order a burger with no onions and they literally gave me a burger with nothing except a pickle and a patty.

Great staff here, very friendly. Our meals were lovely, there was a good choice of beers, all reasonably priced.

Called in for a quick drink, the place was busy, and as usual empty glasses piled high. Got served quickly, and enjoyed a well served Kraken and Coke.

It's a Spoons! Standard fayre. Had a surprisingly long wait for food, unusual in a Spoons, even when busy. Great ales at great prices

great pub with great beer. very convenient to order via app

No tequila on a Saturday night which rulled out several cocktails I wanted to try

I've been in a lot of Wetherspoons and this one is by far the best.

As always at a spoons good cheap food, nice clean pub with a great atmosphere.

Had to slum it here today as our usual excellent haunt was closed. As usual at this terrible Wetherspoons it wasn’t possible to use the app - it often just doesn’t work in here. Went to the bar and unsurprisingly there was no-one tending the bar. Eventually beardy arrived looking every part a manager - said all the right words but in the coldest most unhelpful unfriendly way. Panini over toasted and barely edible. Chicken burger so dry I almost chucked on it. We know not to expect the very best at any ‘spoons - but even allowing for that why oh why does Oakham always get a poor imitation of the best that everywhere else gets. Pity I can’t give zero stars. Avoid if you want friendly staff or decent food

Absolutely dreadful-I don’t get the hype. We had a dismal experience with one of the staff members. We will NEVER be going back. Not a pleasant place.

Cheap drinks, which is a plus, needs a bit more atmosphere, but then it depends on who you are out with. You make it the night you want.

food was disappointing for the 1st time, just warm and chicken so tough

Good place for a drink - close to bus and train station.

Popped into for lunch and all in all a pleasant visit and would come again.

Brilliant service today from Chanelle - can’t find where to email or contact anyone but she has been outstanding today.

Great pub with awesome CHEAP beer! I paid £1.49 for a pint of Ruddles Best. Was not expecting it to be the best I've ever had. But it was spot on! Loverly bar staff told me it was a Monday promotion, and it's normally £1.79!!!! London drinkers, read this and weep!

Friendly and inexpensive place with a decent selection of beers and tasty vegetarian options.

Food good as always went for brekkie

Lovely place in a really nice small town .service was fast and the member if staff was really friendly and helpful . Will be going back for a meal next time I visit oakham

Beautiful pub with lovely interior lighting giving it a warm, homely feel. Absolutely beautiful. I visited in the morning and the service was awful, nobody behind the bar, waited ages for her to serve bar customers as she prioritised food delivery. Even though it was a weekend there were no staff.

Ignored while watching two people get served right in front of me..then sarcastic or what ."enjoy your drink"..I guess manners are subjective..so is service..so outdated guys

Great meal. Superb service by friendly staff

I had to ask for our table to be wiped. I had the vegetarian noodles, which tasted great.

A more spacious Spoons with some interesting local historical artefacts - especially liked the up-cycled agricultural machinery in the bathroom. Everything else was to an expected standard.

Not as nice as some of the Wetherspoons I have visited.

Busy pub, with extensive menu. Food okay, not expensive

Great place for an afternoon drink and some food

Very kind staff, Service is amazing, The Ice cream is just fabulous I recommend the Vanilla Ice Cream with Toffee Sauce it is amazing. Overall an amazing place to eat/ Drink.

All the advantages of a Wetherspoon pub, quick friendly service.

Dirty tables filled with pots,people having to wipe their own,ordered our food it came after about 15 minutes,our barbique Chicken,Bacon and cheese Panninis were barley warm the Cheese wasn't even melted,I sent them back,waited another 10 minutes for another meal to be brought to us,this was hot but so bland and dry,abit like eating a rolled up newspaper, this was the worst one we have eaten with a dollop of barbecue sauce in the middle.

Small mix-up on order, food and drinks just as expected. Thank you

Very good value for money. The cost of food and drinks is cheap and the food is of a reasonable quality. The cod and chips were okay. The next day I had the all day brunch which was very good and a large portion. Most dishes come with soft drinks or alcohol at a very reasonable price, far cheaper than other pubs. Service is good.

We had the cod and chips - nothing great, just ok, and a grilled chicken burger- which was dry and tasteless. Chips were ok. However, drinks were included in the meal prices which were very reasonable. I wouldn’t personally seek it out for a meal, but it will fill a hole in your stomach if you are hungry/thirsty.

Lovely food delivered with drinks, great service and good prices!

Went in here with my family ,lovely pub,nice atmosphere, service good 👍 just visiting grantham to see family as they live here and first time I've been here ,but such a lovely pub x

Usual Weatherspoons, cheap food & drink.

Words cannot express how deeply pleased I am writing this review, a young lady called Amelia, was friendly and kind and thoughtful, and she wasn't even a bar staff she was just a cleaner she truly has made this place looks spotless. It was looking like a restaurant level must say I definitely am pleased with the whole pub and how it looks will definitely be visiting soon! Give that girl a raise!

Just called in for a quick breakfast and coffee, service was prompt and served by a pleasant young lady. If passing this way again will certainly call in

Shockingly small portion.paid for fish&chips on large plate.was a kids portion on a large plate .i know not to return again for the price and portion size

Ate here, the food was good and exactly what you would expect from a Wetherspoon's pub. The ladies toilets (upstairs of course) are impressive!

Usual 'Spoons set up. Decent food, cheap drinks if you chose right. Decent downstairs disabled loo with Radar key access, ordinary loos in another postcode as per usual with 'Spoons. Fetch your own 13 amp plug charger for charging you tablet, phone etc.

Called in for breakfast. Good value. Tasty and service was good. Vegetarian tastes well catered for. Portion sizes just right for us.

Absolute disrespect for neighbors. We live as much as 150 meters from them, but the evenings and nights are simply unbearable because of them, loud music and screams from customers regularly prevent us from sleeping.

Wanted burgers taken off menu so my partner had steak and kidney pudding wasn't nice 1 piece of steak I had Lincolnshire sausage and mash sausages weren't Lincolnshire and left over from breakfast and mash was like smash won't eat there again

It's a Wetherspoons, all you need to know.

Well I ordered the steak and kidney pie! It literally had 1 piece of steak and no visible evidence of Kidney ! So I had to use the dishwasher stained cutlery to cut out my partners kidney and rub it in the gravy. Mmm then I was satisfied. I suppose it was a real pie, but so small it must of been embarrassed.

A big Wetherspoon pub , unfortunately out of cod on a Friday night. Service was fast but forgot one order and missed peri peri sauce off another. Quickly rectified. Very noisy and almost full.

Inexpensive food and drinks, no need for the bar you can get it delivered to your table via ap, even absent friends can buy you a drink! And you even get your steps in with a walk to the wetherspoons toilet situated normally in an adjacent post code!

excellent service and great price for drinks...guiness wa 2.40..excellent...

Helpful and pleasant staff despite being very busy. Enjoyed mixed grill. Can park on roadside after 6pm unlimited. No car park. Enjoyed food.

Decent food nothing fancy, good service

Excellent and speedy table service. Drink came in seconds.

Friendly staff and a real fireplace

We had a good meal here, reasonably priced. I particularly liked the mini chocolate brownie.

We went Friday evening, and yes it was busy, but the staff were so rude and the food so bad, they actually refunded our full bill

One of the best Weatherspoons we have been to, and we have used a few !! The service was very quick , and the waitress very friendly. Lovely roomy and airy pub.

All you would expect from a witherspoon pub

Very disappointed with food first time I have had a bad meal with Wetherspoons.

Decent Wetherspoons, had an evening meal and a breakfast. Good service, nice pub.

Great Weatherspoon pub for breakfast and to catch up with online work. Unlimited coffee during the morning. Very filling breakfast meal. Very clean modern restroom as well

Good place to get pissed and eat cheap food.

A typical witherspoons. Messy, nosey, and staff don't care!

It's a wetherspoons, so pretty standard. The staff were friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. Tables were cleared promptly so 👍

My family went here for dinner, The staff were great and we enjoyed ourselves. However, our food was not enjoyable in the slightest. My fiancé and I had the vegan beyond burger. Our 4 year old was feeling absolutely fine before eating here but after he had a margarita pizza and apple juice he complained of an upset stomach. On the way home he went pale in the face and projectile vomited all over the car and again at home. I can’t say for sure if it was the pizza or the apple juice that has made him unwell. But it was definitely something from this particular Whetherspoons.

Had a visit to Oakham for the first time. Worst day to choose 2nd Jan rain and floods everywhere. Looking for somewhere near by to take shelter and this was the place we chose. Lovely and warm, nice atmosphere and food hit the spot.

Good food & drink at very fair prices.

A very friendly pub excellent staff and food

Very understaffed so drinks orders were very slow and food orders even slower. The staff who were in were nice, but at Christmas you would think they would put more staff on. The food was not good - one person received cold meat, I had my initial order cancelled as they didn’t have the food available and my replacement order was clearly just low quality frozen food (anaemic peas and watery scampi). The food was not priced to reflect this.

Just typical good plain well cooked pub grub at the right price .

Awful. Slow service at the bar, food very very average. Beyond me as to why anybody goes, aside from the prices.

A typically good value breakfast, with friendly and fast service.

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Friendly staff good food

Wetherspoons should give this place a shake up.let down.food inedible n only just warmnothing like pics on menu.tables sticky.staff not great didnt seem to want to b there.noisy customers who looked like everyday spoon regulars

This is actually a really lovely Weatherspoons. Decorated beautifully inside and out, even the ladies' toilets, they are weirdly stunning! Food is great, nice atmosphere. Couldn't ask for more really from a spoons 👍

A nice easy going place to go , nothing special, but good for a cheap easy reasonable quality meal

It's a Spoons ! I didn't expect to find one in Oakham. It's okay for lunch.

You know what to expect and it is consistently delivered at exceptional value.

Very nice pub. Had 3 nice dinners while on holiday.

Lovely Oakham town centre setting with bells ringing out from beautiful church nearby

Another good breakfast, the only downside was a group of very noisy men who were drinking at 10am. tHey were very loud which was off putting. All food was hot which is great.

Have not been in the pub for quite a long time but popped in as it was half way between the Grainstore and the Wheatsheaf (ish). Can’t believe the prices…Unbelievabubble . So much so had a cheeky shot on top of the Guinness. Surroundings aren’t great but who cares if you in a group and want to save money

Nice efficient staff. Well above expected standards from my wealth of experience in Wetherspoons establishments.

Spoons #131 return visit, nice outside seating area in the sun, accessible areas, no parking except on street free for an hour Had a burger and skinny burgundy for a change, very adequate for lunch

Absolutely awful! Always thought that you knew what you were getting with a ‘spoons but this really let the chain down. After having to clean our own filthy table, it didn’t get much better! Food was missing multiple ingredients. We ordered burgers with bacon, cheese etc but it came with literally just a skinny takeaway style burger. The bun tasted like it had been next to cleaning products. Then to top it off, there was a piece of plastic wrapper in the burger! When we went to show someone behind the bar, they tried to say that it was a bit of onion peel and didn’t even apologise. There was no way it was an onion peel as (without going into too many gross details), you couldn’t chew it and it was a very different colour and texture! Very disappointed and will not be revisit nor recommending this pub.

Excellent service very quick and the meal was cooked to perfection x

Ate here twice when in area fir a week. Used spoons app both times and drinks service very slow. Food was good, well presented and decent compared to some spoons. Overall a nice spoons with good standard of food. Sorry but marked down for speed only. Otherwise would have been higher.

Pizza and a pint. Very tasty pizzas.

Nice bright ☀️ conservatory on the side, had lunch there. I think they were short on staff at the time as drinks came after the food! But very apologetic staff.

Thought we would try a spoons in a nice location, nothing different. What u see is what u get.

Service a little slow, some orders were wrong but it was nice and relaxing evening

The Best and cleanest Wetherspoons ...

visited August 2023. 45 minute wait for food, curry was pretty Grimm, even by wetherspoons standards. tables not cleared for 20 minutes after arriving.. they need more floorwalkers on a mid week evening. I counted 1 and a manageress.

One hour wait for burger that looked like it took two minutes to make. Terrible service took order and didn’t let us know it was an hour wait. Pub wasn’t even that busy. Curry was nice think only put half portion of rice with it. Second bad experience at this outlet. Sorry but it’s going on the banned list. Next time we eating at the butter cross in Oakham which is what Wetherspoons used to be. Sorry bye bye

There jd wetherspoons has a better menu than leicester. I had something new here. The food was delicious.

Often use this Wetherspoon when in and around Rutland. Always use the Wetherspoon App to order. Drinks and meals delivered quickly, good value as always. But very noisy on a Friday night !

A great breakfast before the cricket at Oakham School

I am an habitual Wetherspoons customer. This outlet has a really good building on a nice road in a very pleasant town. I had a Wetherspoons standard breakfast; so far nothing unusual. However, when I retuned for a lunchtime pint staff let the team down through lack of preparation. There were no real ales at all available and there was no fish and chips.
