The Olive Branch - Inn in Rutland
Main Street
Clipsham, Oakham, LE15 7SH, Rutland
England,
Regno Unito
Start the evening with a local, seasonal, hedgerow cocktail – try a crab-apple bellini. Move onto dinner: the menu changes each day. All the produce is lovingly sourced - eggs from the hens, veg from the garden, local meat and fish - then cooked with passion by Head Chef Luke Holland and his team.
Set off for Stamford (ten miles), a town rich in history, notable for its medieval Sheep Market, All Saints Church (climb the bell-tower), and numerous side streets to get lost down. The town’s prosperity is linked still to Burghley House, the finest Elizabethan house in England. Take a pub picnic to its lawns.
As for the pub, it's 400 years old and an absolute gem. It stands at the end of a tree-lined avenue, next to a beautiful stone barn (the pub's dining room). Bedrooms lie in Beech House across the lane, three with private terraces. Everyone's welcome, from children to dogs.

- Castles and country houses within 30 mins, including Elizabethan Burghley House with acres of beautiful parkland, sculpture gardens and a Garden of Surprises are perfect for a summer’s day picnic with one of our hampers.
- Walking, cycling, sailing, golf, horse-riding… dozens of chances to get active, at Rutland Water, Belvoir Castle, Deene Park, Rockingham Castle, Twin Lakes adventure park, Sacrewell Farm, Nene Valley Railway and Rutland Owl & Falconry Centre.
- We’re surrounded by some of England’s prettiest market towns. Nearby Stamford, film location for Pride and Prejudice, is a treasure trove of cobbled streets, churches, real ale pubs and wonderful independent traders.
- Ask about cookery demos, kitchen masterclasses, wine tasting events & wine dinners!
- There are bicycles for our guests to borrow and picnic with, and walking and cycling routes (for off road and on road).
- Take a look at our new paddock with chickens, ducks (goats coming soon!), polytunnel and veg and herb gardens.
