Extremely disappointing evening. Lovely venue and attentive service, but the food was mediocre at best. Pork chops full of fat & gristle so barely a mouthful of actual meat. Restaurant explained "chef buys them like that as the fat adds flavour". Bream was OK, very salty so not the best. Chicken was good, as was the duck. Vegetables & roast potato undercooked inside and burnt on the outside. Aesthetically bland. Restaurant explained that this was because the "chef used a honey glaze"...didn't taste of honey, just burnt. We were so embarrassed to have invited our guests there for dinner. We left immediately after the mains, paid the bill and got pudding back at home. The whole evening was embarrassing. The Restaurant deducted £25 for one of the pork chops which was appreciated. Our expectations were high having read other reviews...perhaps we just picked a bad night?

I arrived to get my coffees and a sandwich I love scandi in Stamford so took the opportunity to pop in whilst in upping but the service was shocking, the girl at the till served me before leaving with very little manner and a lacked politeness I then had my coffees made very quickly however had to wait 25mins for a cheese toasted sandwich, I don’t mind waiting but my sandwich was already pre prepared so only required to be popped on the griddle There were no other customers in front of me My coffees weren’t particularly warm to start with my after waiting so long they got cold The staff behind the counter danced and chatted to one another, I wouldn’t mind but I got No apology for my very long wait it wasn’t even acknowledged, even when I shared don’t worry about toasting it further (I needed to go and move my car as my parking was running low Tasty coffee and food but I feel £7 is overpriced for a toasted sandwich especially after such a long wait with inattentive staff

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 ?
