Excellent food and a lovely pub with great staff and friendly clientele. Enjoyed sitting by the open fire with my wife, daughter and dogs whilst drinking a cold pint. The room was spacious and clean. Would thoroughly recommend.
Absolutely beautiful, highly recommended, very clean and hygienic, top quality food. Great atmosphere, immaculately season decorated.Perfect Tudor period English restaurant,looks like a Christmas movie set. Welcomed by the friendly staff, perfect for meeting up with family or friends or romantic meal with your special person. A big thank you to all the team and management for a great evening...
Was looking forward to an eating from the Indian menu as we have heard great things about this place. Ordered drinks, starter and a main. Drink came, starter arrived and extremely nice it was 👌 we then promptly received our mains all nice and hot. Great flavours. Great atmosphere, great service & most of all great food. We will return 😋😋
I have a lot of nice things to say about this Inn/ restaurant so please bear with me 😊 The Inn is situated in the very lovely, rural, quiet main street village of Lyddington in Rutland. On the outside, it looks like your typical village pub but inside there's a very pleasant twist. It has been under new ownership since spring 2022 combining traditional English country pub and a balancing touch of India. I use the term balancing as complete respect and importance has been given by the owner and management to traditional English village pub life so as not to alienate the locals with the introduction of a more exotic Indian/ English fusion. In my two stays I have yet to sample the traditional menu and have instead opted for the Indian menu so I can only go on and give a glowing report of the quality of the food on offer from that menu. The Indian food is the creation of award winning chef Krishnapal Negi from London with a menu of around 9 starters, a similar amount of main courses and half a dozen desserts with specials on offer too (£30 - £35 per head). Portions are not over sized but leave your stomach with a 'Just about the right amount' feeling which i think is important for a healthy night's sleep later. General Manager, Gaurav is a perfect front of house host, calm, polite, attentive and reassuringly in control. Tracey runs a tidy well stocked bar and has that immediate friendly warmth that draws you in making polite friendly conversation easy to have. The service is slick and all staff are friendly and obliging. Lovely little breakfast selection, once again, not over filling but just enough to kick start the day in the right manner. It is table service. Phew!... now, the rooms... The 20 or so rooms are in a separate block to the Inn with some of them over looking land to the back. We've stayed in room 20 on both occasions and can describe the room as comfortable, spacious, light and airy, with an en suite bathroom. Colours are neutral with a feature wall and simple functional furniture and tea & coffee making facilities. Very peaceful with a small country view. Ample car parking around the site. Have loved the two stays so much, a third is already booked so I look forward to returning in a few months time 😊 I can't recommend highly enough as a venue for either a special meal in the restaurant or for a vacation/ meal stay over. November 23 Edit: Although Gaurav has moved on within the group, Hanuman has taken over the helm and is guiding the operation in the same fashion as Gaurav along with the help of Sandeep. Both are very polite, obliging, and welcoming. All staff are as attentive as ever and did very well with a 70+ cover service despite an unforseen last-minute kitchen staff shortage. Hoping to return early in the new year when we are in the area again.
Me and my wife picked delicious plates. We loved it. Luciano and Ciro, close friends that were with us did not like theirs so much. Not what they expected. And they even showed some photos to see if the plate looked like what they were expecting. Guess I got lucky. Very good. Hanuman, the waiter that was with us was super nice. Thank you so much sir. Price a bit high but if you’ve got the money, very much worth the try.
