The Noel at Whitwell is a delightful country pub within walking distance of the shores of Rutland Water
Its warm, friendly interior uses classic colours, natural materials and modern lighting to marry its traditional heritage, flagstone floors and open fire with a refreshing up to date environment a great place for delicious food, good wines and lovely comfortable accommodation.
Attended for a wedding recently and had a lovely night. How much of the prep was done by the owners and how much by the bride and groom I don't know but it looked amazing and everyone had an amazing evening. Service was a bit slow at times though.
That was quite possibly the weirdest experience of my life! From Woofing at dogs to scranning our left over food while sat with us clearing the plates! I honestly feel like I’ve just been in a hour long fever dream from start to finish! Good location! But that’s about it!
First visit here after the makeover, really glad we tried it! Love the bright new décor. Had the Sunday roast, just managed all 3 courses after which we pretty much waddled out of there, stuffed full of good food. Definitely nothing instant or frozen here except for the ice cream which appeared like magic upon request. Mushrooms on toast were tender and delicious. Roast pork came with crackling, Yorkshire's, roast potatoes and five other kinds of fresh vegetables and just the right amount of gravy. The service was excellent, so welcoming and friendly. We were so relaxed over our coffee we barely moved for four hours! Nor were we made to feel we ought to go. Thanks everyone! We'll be back soon!
Just back from a really great meal at The Noel. New owners and only been open for two weeks. Highly recommended and excellent value, as other recent reviews have commented. Congratulations to all concerned and we wish you all the very best for the future. If we lived locally this would be a regular haunt.
We popped in for lunch as we had travelled to Rutland to stay at a nearby lodge with friends for the weekend so it was a spur of the moment visit. Its apparently recent been redecorated. It looks lovely so compliments on the decoration. Tropical theme and lovely and colourful. We each ordered and were happy with all. I had scampi and chips which were lovely and peas came with a mint sauce on top which was a nice addition. Both gentlemen we were served by were very welcoming and helpful. Thanks so much. We may come back for Sunday lunch aswell.
