Olive Branch in Rutland

Having been several years since I visited I found the pub looking as lovely as ever. BUT the Sunday lunch was well below par. Beef good but roast potatoes really poor, Yorkshire reheated - veg rather too much bite. Gravy just like Bisto. Horseradish “cream” seemed to have ignored the horseradish. Staff not paying attention to diners trying to flag them. Hmmm well overpriced for the quality

Celebrated a wedding here. Cannot fault it, fantastic food and ambience in a private dining room. Also stayed at the Beech House across the road and it was equally as impressive.

My husband and I have eaten all around the world and, although the food was OK, we really did NOT feel that it was deserving of the highly inflated price. Friends had taken us but we felt we had to split the bill as, for basically, a ‘pub mealI’ with two young children, this was ridiculously over-priced. Additionally, the options for vegans is very narrow and disappointing. Quality of the desserts poor.

Food was excellent service was excellent.. but unfortunately the portions were on the small side !!! Churchill Farm Chicken breast, grilled onion, leeks, sweetcorn & jersey royals you need to add a few more Jersey royals. !! Not just 2 ..

Having heard so many good things about the Olive Branch, finally have had the chance to check it out. It didn't disappoint! Food fantastic, service impeccable, choice of beers wines and cocktails incredible, and the setting beautiful - spotlessly clean and so nicely finished without feeling pretentious. Will certainly be going again soon hopefully!

We had an evening meal, bed and breakfast. Throughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Food was amazing, staff very attentive, and our room very comfortable. We look forward to returning very soon. Thank you to all at The Olive Branch for making our stay such a special one.

Wow, what more can I say other than absolutely fantastic!! Five full stars ... at least! Great friendly service, incredible Michelin rated food that exceeds expectations. Great cocktails, unbelievable wine and and first class accommodation across the road as well in the Beech House with delicious breakfast offerings and coffee as well. A must if you appreciate down to earth unpretentious, as it is all round excellence, with that added bit for a special occasion. Do go and try for yourselves!

This has been one of my favourite places for a while now, and our visit this past weekend cemented it.The food is genuinely superb, wonderfully plated and flavourful. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable.The rooms over the road at Beech House are well appointed and they get the little things right.

Fantastic service, great wine suggestions and epic food!My first time visiting and I have been raving to all my friends about this place.Incredible value for money and lovely staff!

Truly delightful pub...and so much more than that! Beautiful old building and grounds, full of warmth and character - much like the staff! The food was out of this world and the service impeccable. This place has a reputation for excellence which I think is well-deserved. Can't wait to go back - and stay over!
