Blossoms – one of the best restaurants in Rutland
Renown for its superb food and spectacular views, Blossoms is one of the best restaurants in Rutland.
Lovingly restored and at the head of a tree lined avenue, The Barnsdale located to the North of Oakham, has undergone a recent refurbishment and is now the newest addition to The Signet Collection.
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.
The Castle is the centrepiece of the estate. It is a large quadrangular house with a central courtyard.
Originally created by Geoff Hamilton for the Gardeners’ World TV show, Barnsdale is home to 38 pocket-sized, themed garden ‘rooms’, built in his trademark, practical style, and full of inspiration for garden-lovers of all ages. Go for great ideas for your own outside spaces or simply have fun exploring- there magical hidden corners, ponds full of tadpoles and newts, and an allotment with chickens and giant organically grown veg.
