The best restaurants serving British food in Rutland East Midlands

I attended a family birthday party for 50 people here on 14/9/24. We had drinks, sit down dinner and all 14 of the attractive bedrooms were occupied by us. This is a lovely, traditional pub with good parking, seats in the garden, and in the middle of a beautiful village. Food and service were fantastic and the rooms were gorgeous with a cottagey feel and large, modern bathrooms. The owner, who I think also served us, did a brilliant job and I can't recommend this venue highly enough. 5 stars +++ from me!

A lovely pub in the middle of Braunston-in-Rutland. I’ve been looking forward to my curry and wasn’t disappointed. One of the best curry’s I’ve eaten, not hot but full of flavour! Staff couldn’t be more helpful

The food was AMAZING…We order pizza and ciabatta and it was quality and served super quickly! Such a nice environment to have a few glasses of wine and some really good food

Excellent all-round enjoyment for our family gathering last Saturday. Service, food quality and presentation superb. Thank You Rob and the team. Trevor Kyte

Found this pub by chance and we weren’t disappointed. Quite a small bar area where we sat and we were the only visitors among locals but made to feel so welcome . Food was amazing , couldn’t fault it. So good that we booked dinner for the next night and yet again an amazing meal.

We have always enjoyed our stays with you, this being our 4th visit, but our experience on this occasion was certainly not as expected or as our previous dining experience. Our room was lovely, the breakfast very good, but our evening meal was poor at best! We both ordered Plaice and at £22.00 each our expectations were high! The plaice arrived it was very small the skin did not come off and it was not fresh, this was accompanied by a bowl of boiled new pots in their skin, a chopped up tomato and three very overcooked green beans. We voiced our concerns to our lovely waitress, who said she would pass on our views, no apologies though. We then decided to share a desert, chocolate cake, whilst it tasted OK, presentation reminded me of school dinners and priced at £10.00 it again did not meet our expectations. It was very busy on Friday with a very large loud table in the dining room. We were moved into the bar by a really lovely member of staff So in conclusion - lovely attentive staff, lovely pub, lovely room and breakfast. I did email directly but did not get a response

We met family here today for lunch, absolutely great! The pub is clean, well appointed, tasteful decor, staff were all friendly and helpful, toilets were spotless. A party of 5, we ordered whitebait and trout for starters. Whitebait was generous in portion size and cooked to perfection, trout was well presented, all were delicious. Mains were chicken supreme, sea bass, steak and a risotto. Plates were hot, food was hotter! And all of it was well cooked, well presented and delicious. The setting is delightful, worth the 2 hr drive for both parties to meet, I recommend this place on all counts. This will be our family meet up point going forward. If you’re local to Barrowden use this place, support it, it deserves it. Shame we live so far away!

We have just had a Sunday roast and it was fantastic.. we have been all over locally for a good Sunday roast and always seem disappointed. Lovely staff, amazing food! Really couldn’t recommend more highly. Friends have eaten in the week and the lunch time menu is also very good. We will be back next weekend!

Delicious food, lovely location. With a choice of both stunning Indian cuisine and typical British pub food, plus today being Sunday a roast as well, what more could you possibly ask for. Food was superb. Service was great, staff so polite.

What an absolutely gorgeous 3 course Sunday lunch. Cannot fault the food, service and atmosphere. The “Pork& Chorizo” Scotch Egg starter was delicious as were the Scallops my wife had. For main I tucked into one of the best Roast Pork I have ever tasted! For puds there was in my opinion only one item on the menu to pick … Caramelised Apple Crumble with custard … yum yum! Cannot recommend The Old Pheasant enough now it’s under new ownership … big round of applause to Damon and Chef Robert.

Great place for a catch up and brunch with a friend.
