With charming dining areas throughout, The Lord Nelson in the market square of Oakham is bursting with character and provides a relaxed atmosphere for you to enjoy the perfect pint and mouth-watering meal.
Dating back to the 1500’s, the building has been completely restored and is now a beautiful pub packed full of character, very reflective of its surroundings in the county of Rutland. With a relaxed atmosphere, The Lord Nelson offers you the perfect place to come for a bite to eat or meet with friends for a drink, of which we offer a fantastic selection of ales, wines and spirits. But who can resist our famous stonebaked pizzas, or the great range of lunch or dinnertime dishes on our menu, all using locally sourced ingredients.
If you’re looking for a room for private hire, be it for a business meeting over lunch, a family gathering, a party, wedding or a wake, we have lots of character rooms for you to choose from.
Booked Sunday lunch for family birthday celebration. It was very busy & we waited quite a while first to order and then for the food to arrive. All the meals were cooked to perfection and even though we had not complained I was given a 10% discount off the bill. All in all a pleasant experience with helpful & friendly staff. Happy to recommend.
Booked a table for 1:00pm Sunday lunch. Took ages to get seated. Not many vegetarian options was the only downside. Also things on the menu that were vegetarian weren’t even available which was a shame. Then our food did not arrive until 2:30!!! The staff came over once and said ‘five mins, just plating up’ after about an hour, but it turned out that was for the table next to us and ours took another 20 mins to arrive. We were so disappointed. The only saving grace was that the food was lovely when it finally came. When it came to paying, the staff offered us discount for the wait and explained it was due to the fact there was no chef, however if we were told prior to ordering, we would have then known to leave. Such a shame as the poor staff were left to clear up the pieces. Seems a case of very poor management.
Went here after a walk around Rutland Water. The food was excellent, and very reasonably priced - ended up paying £50 for 2 people (shared starter, 2 mains, 2 desserts, soft drink each). Would definitely go back when we're in the area. Also dog friendly
Had a Sunday dinner here. Food was good and Paul on services was really helpful. Was a little bit quiet but we enjoyed it
We stopped in for lunch on market day, the food was lovely, it all tasted homemade from quality ingredients. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough. Very nice to have dinner in the courtyard there. We spent £50 on 3 meals and 3 drinks.
