Best British Restaurants in Rutland

We’ve just had a family get together at The Sondes Arms. Good value pub food, very helpful staff

Quite simply, this is one of the best restaurants in the world. The food is incredible. Every course was absolutely delicious, the ambience of the dining room is unfussy and welcoming. The staff are all friendly and efficient. And Brett Graham, the chef, takes his time to come to every table, explaining the dishes and chatting to his customers all through the night. Incredible. Up there with Core and The Fat Duck as my favourite restaurants in London, and one of the best dining experiences of my life. Stunning. I’m already planning a return.

We always book a table here during our annual holiday to Rutland and would highly recommend a visit. The food is exceptional and is a very reasonable price, given the food quality and standard of service. When you arrive you are greeted by the smell of the home-made bread that is baked every day and everyone gets this to begin, along with some flavoured dipping oil and speciality butter. Today's butter was sea salt and seaweed. Scott, Carol and their team make you feel at ease and provide efficient and unobtrusive service, whilst maintaining a casual feel. We had booked for our wedding anniversary and we found a handwritten card waiting on out table, a nice personal touch. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

stumbled across it online , little bit of luck. as we live about 45 mins away and wasn’t looking in the area. But what a find. On arriving was met with a lovely cheerful welcome, was seated straight away. Lovely ambience, helpful and cheerful waiting staff. And the food was amazing. So massive well done to all. From owner, to bar staff to waiting staff to chef etc . Will defo be back and often as poss. One thing would be a plus more choice in ales. Amazeballs.
