Enjoy the most quintessentially English pastime, in traditional English surroundings

Sit back and relax in one of Rutland’s cosy cafes or plush country houses, whilst indulging in traditional tea and tempting treats. Swap your tea with a glass of bubbles for an added touch of luxury.

We are proud to offer the very best fresh, seasonal food, served in generous portions. Wherever possible, we source our ingredients from local producers, so our sandwiches are freshly made using Hambleton Bakery’s award-winning bread and in season our salads come direct from our very own allotment.
Otters Fine Foods brings a new dimension to the food shopping experience. We offer the most wonderful naturally smoked fish, meats and cheeses, all smoked using traditional methods with no artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives.
