Restaurants in Oakham

Hambleton Hall is the right booking for a serious celebration or a seasonal destination meal in the East Midlands. Aaron Patterson has been at the stove since 1992, building a classically grounded menu on seasonal British produce and house-baked bread. The 400-bin wine list and Rutland Water setting make this one of the most complete country house dining experiences in England.

Hitchen's Barn holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2024 and 2025, and earns it through daily-changing seasonal cooking, a genuinely warm front-of-house, and a ££ price point that is hard to match in rural England. Neil Hitchen's twice-baked two-cheese soufflé is the dish to order. Easy to book, worth prioritising for any food-focused visit to Oakham or Rutland.
