The Finch's Arms Restaurant in Rutland

Enjoyed some lovely food here. We specifically visited here based on word of mouth for their selection of game choices. Some choices were not available, but given that the owners are moving, we weren’t surprised. The partridge was lovely and despite the hiccup with the venison croquette, that was lovely too. Such a big old building, it had a nice atmosphere. I could have done with taking a jumper though as those windows make it drafty! Shame we’re a bit late to the party to visit here, as I think it’s a great place.

Happened upon this lovely pub when out for a ride on our motorbikes. Very nice atmosphere and a well presented pub, coupled with drinks that were nice and not overpriced and a friendly smile from the bar staff.

Food and service was just perfect. Best pub lunch I have had in a long time. Been recommending this pub and live nowhere near here.

We had a fantastic experience at The Olive Branch. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, going out of their way to accommodate us when we unexpectedly overran our time. The Stretton hogget tartare was full of flavour, and the roast pork for the Sunday roast was absolutely faultless — cooked to perfection, tender, and beautifully presented. A real treat from start to finish. Highly recommended for both the quality of the food and the warmth of the hospitality.

Stopped for a tea and made a purchase from the garden centre. All good.
