The best restaurants in Oakham South East Rutland East Midlands

We had a selection of wonderful tasty dishes, all freshly prepared and beautifully presented, real home cooking;. With friendly helpful service and atmospheric background music it was a really great evening, and astonishing value. Can't wait to go back. PS Also good for a morning coffee and baclava snack!

Very friendly staff, lots of choice on the menu, I had scrambled egg on toast, very nice.

Great food, lovely location and very friendly staff.

There is nothing to love about this restaurant. The food is amazing, the staff and owner are the best. I wouldn’t eat Indian food anywhere else. We travel an hour to Oakham because the cuisine and atmosphere is so good.

Pizzas for the kids were ok, but the rest was disappointing, small portions and little authentic or appealing. Bruschetta was nothing more than cold hard bread with toasted cheese and mushrooms. Then when the bill came the service charge was shown as 10% but below the total was a note to say “service charge not included”. “Oh this is a mistake, it shouldn’t say that!”

Delicious Roast Sunday Lunch, complemented by tasty fine starters and scrumy puddings. Lovely staff delivering great service. Booking essential 01572 737149

Could not be a prettier location. Restaurant bit too quiet not sure why. Food excellent service bit slow. Would be pleasant evening out with friends as not noisy or overpowering music.

Always great food, lovely staff, brilliant welcome

We came with our 2 children for dinner. Beautiful food and the service was lovely too. Loved the cosy atmosphere. The servers were very attentive and happy to accommodate the children as well. Food arrived in great time as did the drinks. So yummy

Fantastic service, really friendly. Always make us feel welcome and are inclusive to our needs. Nothing is too much trouble

We had a fabulous afternoon tea for 4 people. The food was delicious. Everything was so fresh - sandwiches, scones & an amazing selection of cakes. Free refills of tea & coffee available as well. We added a bottle of Prosecco as we were celebrating birthdays. Staff very friendly & nothing too much trouble. We pre booked the previous day.

We have just enjoyed an excellent night out at Picks Barn. Although predominantly a cafe during the day, we booked this venue for a private evening pre-Christmas function. We were royally looked after by the most attentive staff. Having pre-booked our meals, we started with very tasty canapes. We then had a choice of three main courses followed by two puddings. The food was all freshly produced and quite delicious. The cafe space worked well for our group and there is ample parking. I thoroughly recommend this venue for an evening party (although it is also an excellent coffee, cake, and food stop during the day!) Thank you to Ed, Justine and the staff for looking after us so well!
