This is a restaurant already held in high regard and I was very much looking forward to coming. I was not disappointed. The food, service and venue exceeded expectations. Situated in the pleasant town of Oakham there is plenty of parking nearby. We went for lunch and had their set menu two courses which was very much worth the cost. Started with potted belly prok with crackling after the bread with marmite butter - the latter was exceptionally good. Superb start and the main was even better ... Lamb with a rich gravy, bedded on ratatouille, with a potato gratin. The gratin was simply out of the this world. Infused with rosemary very richly. I had a zero beer which wad on tap. There were some excellent wine options also. This is a restaurant that is recognised with a bib gourmand I believe from Michelin which is highly deserved. I would highly recommend this very pleasant restaurant with superb food. Thank you very much.

What an absolutely smashing lunchtime we had with our friends who have been here on a few occasions and said we would not be disappointed. We certainly were not. Food absolutely delicious and service fantastic. We went as a delayed birthday lunch from February and will definitely be going back. I've attached a photo of my cheese soufflé, cod with crab crust and chocolate fondant, and rhubarb cheesecake. Really good choice of meals, complimentary bread and we tried marmite butter, which was very interesting to say the least. Like they say you either love it or hate it. We loved it. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you to all the staff.

We really enjoyed our visit for my husband's birthday. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. The food was so good we had 3 courses! We loved the black pudding scotch egg and the duck parfait; my husband had the grouse which he said was perfect, and I felt the same about my breast of chicken with girolles. The pudding platter was superb and we'll remember that for a long time to come. We loved our wine choices too - Nyetimber English sparkling wine, viognier and Australian pinot noir. All in all, a fantastic visit and excellent value for money.
