The best restaurants in Rutland East Midlands

I absolutely love the Grainstore. Food impeccable lovely atmosphere. However, I booked a table for Sunday lunch on Sunday 23 rd March. I was in the Grainstore on Friday and said to the staff see you Sunday !! We arrive for our Sunday roast to find the doors locked! More customers stood outside!!! A lady opens the door and says sorry we are closed for a private function!!!! Not impressed why take my booking? No information stating it was closed on Friday regarding Sunday… this is very poor . So disappointed

The service was exceptional and food was fresh, authentic and delicious. The bar is welcoming and cosy, and ideal for pre dinner drinks. All in all a perfect night out!

We had a lovely dinner of fish and chips and the bass fillet. It was excellent. There was just a tiny twist that made it extra scrumptious. Would come back.

Good coffee and delicious cake. Friendly staff. Dog friendly too!

What a hidden gem! Fantastic food and amazing service! Staff were really friendly and the food was good pub food dive superbly. Rare to find a pub that does simple food really well.

Boys weekend away and exactly what we needed. Dartboard, sports on TV, no pretentions, nice landlord, etc

We are seasonal visitors to Oakham as we stay nearby. Oakham hasn’t really had a quality Indian before. That’s changed. We came twice in 4 days. Really tasty beautifully cooked food. The service was quick and friendly and the food freshly cooked and absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait to come again.

Lovely family owned business. We ate in and enjoyed a fabulous starter and mixed kebabs with baklava and Turkish tea to finish. Highly recommend.

The Green Dragon is breathing fire again. Beer in tip top condition, food absolutely delicious, all delivered with a smile. Happy days.

Great village pub, fabulous food, great service, friendly staff and locals.

Had takeaway lamb tikka masala - Food too red, too sweet not spicy, chewy meat. Disappointing, won’t return.

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!”

Found this place by accident and had a delicious lunch with a huge pot of tea, the food and service were both excellent. It’s a shame we are from Norwich and unlikely to visit Oakham again soon

Fabulous to overlook the rolling countryside. Delicious food in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our family breakfast.

A genuine Italian restaurant, the two hosts were very genial, and the food was excellent
