The best restaurants in Oakham North East Rutland East Midlands

Recommended by a friend and couldn’t have been happier with our first order. Food was ready to collect on time (and quickly!), great quality and generous portions. We’ll certainly be back, thank you!

A lunch outing with family who don’t live in Oakham on Dec 31st was such a disappointment. We arrived on time for our 1:30pm booking, were seated right away, had our orders taken and then we waited 1 hour for our starters to arrive. When we asked why it was taking so long we were told there was only 1 chef in the kitchen. But that wasn’t the only problem. A few of us ordered the vegetable soup as our starter. It was presented in a nice little soup tureen but clearly the kitchen had run out of soup because what we were given resembled pasta sauce or salsa. It was a dish of chopped tomatoes, onion, celery and the odd bit of carrot with absolutely no liquid or flavour. The most complimentary thing I can say bout the main courses was that they were served piping hot. There was a choice of 4 mains and I had what was described as ‘white beef’ (really?!!) with horseradish mash (without any horseradish flavour), root veg and bourguignon sauce. The stew that I received was mostly mushroom, onion and sauce with very little beef and the beef was in tiny pieces, not chunks of beef. My meal was definitely not worth the £27.50 I paid for the 2 courses. Needless to say we didn’t stay for dessert. Would I recommend this restaurant? No. It was a special. Christmas menu with only 4 choices of starter, main and dessert. If a chef can’t manage this limited menu what happens when it’s an a la carte menu ?

Had an awesome roast dinner here today. Sharing platter which easily fed 2 adults and 2 children (with leftovers for two hungry and knackered dogs!) The meats were cooked to perfection and the veg was packed with flavour. Lovely presentation. Will definitely be back.

honestly really disappointed with the service I received. There is no excuse to speak to customers the way that i was spoken too. The woman who served me was clearly having a bad afternoon, however when working in hospitality you can not take that out on customers and i have now seen that happen on multiple occasions. When paying £10 for a sandwich on coffee i expect some level of decent customer service not the awful attitude that i received.

Food is superb, service is excellent with attentive staff, been 4 times and never disappointed

Opened up again - just drinks so far up until new year. Such nostalgia walking back in - clean and had its old vibe!! Sooooo pleased.

Fantastic service in the bar, just very overpriced £10 for a large glass of pinot noir

This company had a stall selling coffee and pastries at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. They took the payment and then I realised there was a 20 minute wait for two coffees and a pastry which cost over £12 and the coffee was horrible. Muddy, weak and tasteless. I asked them to redo it, which one of the guys did, however, it was still weak and tasteless even with half the water. I was told to wait to complain to the manager but when he eventually came he was rude and refused to give me a refund. Other people in the queue were also unhappy and someone else brought their drink back as well. I said I would post a review and he said he didn’t care as he had sold thousands of coffees. Terrible service and coffee and the manager is arrogant. Avoid this company if you can

I get inordinately excited when I arrive at the Co-op to find the ridiculous revolving door out of action, or the fire door sneakily open. Otherwise, a rather magnificent store for little Rutland, with a good range of products and excellent staff and service.

What can I say…. Perfect ever time!

For service very well done. The waitress (sorry I did not get her name!) Noticed that my steak was not done as I requested (rare) she waited while I checked, and then she replaced the whole dinner. Wonderful service and attitude, thank you.

Really nice cakes and milkshakes and friendly service. Lovely decor and fairly priced. Great addition to Oakham. Highly recommend.

Authentic Turkish kebabs and wraps. Very impressed! Large portions and delicious marinated meat. Pizzas are quite packed with ingredients and also tasty. I recommend the lamb wrap and the sish kebabs. Will defenetly order again!
