The best restaurants serving British food in Rutland East Midlands

Lovely food and staff very friendly. A nice range of meals and drinks. Cakes were excellent too! Did try a local large and will be purchasing more!

great food, reasonable prices, and a beautiful courtyard.

Had an excellent evening meal, before staying the night. A lovely breakfast the following morning. The four of us were celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversaries. Lovely atmosphere. Very good service.

We had a snack all fine the Coffee was better than average. And yes we will go again.

An absolutely perfect experience from the time we stepped into the pub until the time we left. The staff were very friendly and were very knowledgeable about the wines and food. The atmosphere was perfect as was the set menu and the breakfast. This pub is a real gem set in perfect countryside with lovely walks around. We will certainly be visiting it again.

Fabulous tea room, delicious sandwiches cakes and drinks . Made us feel very welcome . Excellent value for money. Will definitely be back. Well done guys and girls

Excellent service food a staff were friendly kind and proffesional

It's a welcoming cafe in the middle of Oakham. We enjoyed coffee and scones. Ideally a few more comfortable chairs would be great. Staff friendly and the cafe was busy.

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday. Open fire, lovely decor, great food and fabulous service! Would defo return and recommend to others

Wine list is far too big and grossly overpriced. Bottle of Rioja Crianza is £6 in a store. They list it at £48 but actually over charged us, £52. The waitress had no idea how to remove the foil cap from the bottle so I opened it for her. Then they add a service charge!!! So a VERY ordinary bottle of red was 60 quid. More than Hambleton Hall down the road that has a Michelin star. Food is mainly bought in catering/pub standard at restaurant prices. The room is very nice but the staff are untrained & so avoid interaction with the customer. We were the 1st people in for lunch yet I had to ask to be served more than once. The worst overpriced establishment in Rutland by some distance.

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.

The food was fine and of decent quality but nothing special. The service was below par. We weren't permitted to order until 20 minutes after we arrived because of a "big party" (it wasn't) and it was 80 minutes until we got our food from first arrival and one was a cold cheese platter! Ok ish in a Michelin star restaurant but not in Rutland for Sunday lunch. A shame as the location and venue is otherwise charming.

Excellent food and service. Friendly. Dogs allowed in bar and garden. Not a place for a quick meal but the wait is worth it.

“A royal disaster at the Kings Arms! Took the family out for what we hoped would be a hearty meal and instead got… well, a small sample size of a dinner! The much-anticipated muntjac main came out and looked more like an appetizer, served with all the grandeur of a bite-sized snack. When we politely asked the waitress if this was actually the main course, she snapped back with a cheery ‘Well, maybe you should eat before you come next time!’ Ah, the charm. Things only got weirder when the owner marched over, raised an eyebrow at us like we were some sort of Yelp/TripAdvisor/Google Review mafia, and kindly informed us, ‘You’d better not even think about leaving a review.’ Well, here we are, honoring her request… sort of. So, if you’re into dining experiences where you leave hungrier than you arrived and enjoy being mildly threatened, the Kings Arms is your kind of place!”

We called in for lunch after completing an event at Rutland Water. The menu was limited, but offered some interesting choices. Unfortunately, the food did not fulfil our expectations and porportion sizes were small meaning my partner and son left hungry. Therefore an expensive meal. The service was adequate, but not overly friendly. Sadly, we will not be returning, despite the great location.
