The Admiral Hornblower

The staff were extremely polite and helpful. The food was very good. Loved the different selection of Gin and mixes. Will definitely eat there again.

Everything was just lovely, the food, the bar staff, we felt the waiting staff in the restaurant was the only issue apart from that a brilliant hotel

There seemed to be plenty of staff but we still had to ask to order food and for our table to be cleared after eating. Average food. Nice environment and decor but highly unlikely to retun.

Lovely meal. Good customer service. They even put candles in my mums birthday cake and brought it out. Perfect evening to celebrate !!!! Thank you

Very friendly staff, prompt service even in a busy bar area. Both The menu and food were excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, I recommend the peanut butter cheese cake!

Excellent food- inventive menu- sensible portions and very good service - this is a really lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. I go regularly and would recommend it.

Lovely place food and service was perfect and price was reasonable too, set in a beautiful village with nice surroundings Will definitely be returning again! 👍

Food was good as usual and we had a happy family meal. Unfortunately the service was not up to the usual high standard and we were kept waiting between courses.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good food nicely presented. Visited last year whilst attending the Bird Fair so thought it worth a second visit. This time ate in the restaurant, a lovely table by the window and yes worth the second visit.

Great Sunday Lunch with very good service and much better than virtually all in the 15 mile radius especially for the price and quality, thanks

We enjoyed our lunch. Very good fish sharing platter to start and great fish and chips. Friendly service and fair prices. We would go back.

Excellent lunch at this super place. Friendly staff and good food. Waiter brought the 'wrong' risotto out but this was quickly replaced with a nice apology. Relaxed spot, dog-friendly. The only drawback is lack of parking on site (one of our party was disabled) so we had to drop him off and then park in the Tesco which is about 100 yards away. We did some shopping there later, so didn't feel too cheeky ...

Lovely place, lovely food and lovely people...bit confused and disappointed by the Eton Mess...three blobs of cream sprinkled with a tiny bit of meringue and three halves of strawberry 😳. Having said that will definitely be going back again

An excellent meal well presented and great service. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Will be returning in the near future, Th is the best place to eat in Rutland.

An interesting menu, well prepared and well served food in a pleasant environment. Very good selection of beers and wines. Reasonble pricing for the quality of the food

Very pleasant experience, lovely restaurant, delicious food, friendly staff. The only downside was having to ask 3 times and wait half an hour for the bill. However, we would definitely go back again, and recommend to family and friends!

The service was very slow and disjointed. However the food was very good, hot and tasty. The chicken dish being particularly tasty according to my guest.

We waited 45 minutes for our lunch to arrive. There were seven of us. We all ordered sandwiches except one person who ordered a burger. When we arrived the pub was quiet. We had to watch as others arrived and their food came before ours. One of our group had to leave without having had her lunch as she had waited so long and needed to go to a meeting. At one point we asked if our food was coming soon, and we were told it was coming right away - however will waited a further ten minutes. The person serving us appeared stressed and rushed. It would have been nice if he had offered no charge for our drinks (all soft drinks) as some compensation.

I have just returned from a great evening here with friends. Good food, excellent service and very pleasant surroundings. Light and airy and cool decor. I would certainly recommend this place.

Sat in the restaurant overlooking courtyard. Lovely setting with a modern decor. Friendly service and a simple optioned menu with delicious food. Lovely relaxed dinner. Made use of the nice garden for a drink afterwards as well.

First time at this resturant. Great, fresh food with a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and polite staff and the place has a cool decor. Definitely will return soon!

Lovely evening meal in the beer garden in warm weather. Excellent quality food. Good service. We were overnight guest and the breakfasts are lovely. We will be going again.

Excellent food and service. Nice friendly service and good value for money. Had the Sunday roast beef, cooked perfectly and ample portions with good selection of vegetables. We had the port and Stilton rarebit, and the smoked salmon Tian as starters. Couldn't manage a dessert.

Good food, friendly service but had to ask twice for water and initial serving of side veg for 3 roast meal s was a bit mean - however all rectified Now been a few times - always good food

A comedy of errors. No choice of roast meat left, when we eventually received meal after over 1 hours wait, one tiny slither of meat, 1 green bean, uncooked broccoli and new potatoes ( roasts had had a mysterious accident). Apologies from manager, drinks and dinner on the house, still had to pay £6.50 for 3 cokes! There wasn’t an offer of any bread of olives during our wait, whilst everyone around us was eating. Should have followed gut feeling and left after they told us there was no chicken, but had 2 hungry children in tow.

Excellent service, excellent food and lovely atmosphere would definitely recommend to family and friends. Friendly welcoming attentive staff good layout of restaurant Nice clean toilets

A truly lovely meal, with excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble. Good variety on the menu at reasonable cost. The food was cooked to perfection.

Lovely food and very friendly staff.....would recommend it to anyone. They allow dogs in the bar area and you can choose from the full menu

Excellent! Good food, sensibly priced. Friendly, knowledgeable helpful staff. Lively but not loud atmosphere. Good drinks menu. Great recommendations from the staff. Would definitely recommend

Excellent comfortable friendly place- good food with attentive but unpressured service. Would recommend highly that individuals check it out as conveniently placed within the lovely town

Great food. Especially the Orange dessert with the sorbet on top. Absolutely divine ! We have been before to your restaurant and will certainly be back probably with friends.

We had a really lovely evening at The Admiral Hornblower. The meal was lovely and the staff were very attentive and made the evening special for us. Our table was right by the log fire and we spent a nice. relaxing evening enjoying our meal. The menu was varied with plenty of choice. We also stayed at the Hornblower and had two very nice breakfasts with local produce. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they all appeared to enjoy their work and all had great customer service attitude. Thank you.

Superb Valentine's meal for just £40, incl champagne. Very friendly staff, excellent food, good atmosphere - one couldn't ask for more. Thank you Admiral Hornblower!

We booked here for our anniversary after seeing an amazing photograph of the Sunday lunch. It didn’t disappoint, lovely food and friendly service. We had an amazing time

The restaurant has various seating areas, and I was pleased that we were sat in a cozy room with a log fire, this meant the few diners that had ventured our mid week in January enjoyed an excellent ambience. The food was good quality and the service a very high standard. I was treating my husband for his birthday so we were also staying the night, cant fault anything. We will definitely return and I will recommend to frinds.

The food was really good. The spoiler was a large family party and the kids were running around and making a lot of noise letting off balloons, shouting etc. . We and the table next us had to shout over it. I know it is difficult to stop this and daresay their bill was quite large and you wouldn’t want to put them off coming again! - especially as at least two of the adults were using party horns as well - but is there no way a polite request could be made for at least children to keep their seats and keep,the noise down. ?

a lovely meal and the ambiance was great. we were looked after very well without being intrusive . the menu had plenty of choice. the prices were about right. we were seated straightaway and orders and food delivered quite quickly. It was a busy evening as it was Christmas but did not interfere with the restaurant.

Only criticism is it was really noisy therefore difficult to chat. Appreciate there is not much the restaurant could have done as it was just really busy. Lovely food. Good service and really pleasant waiters.

Excellent food in lovely surroundings. Not been since new owners took over but are booked in agaiin in two weeks time. Very friendly staff as well.

Very good fish and chips, polite and friendly staff. My only criticism is that the back door bangs. Going back next week, and the week after.
