The Finch's Arms

The food was great as ever, not many people in but service was very slow

The food was of its usual high standard and the service was friendly and efficient. A very good evening. Good value mid-week and Sunday Brian G

Interesting menu. Food nice and hot and service a relaxed but not slow pace. My only negative comment would be that I didn't realise that my meal didn't come with any kind of potato or similar and it would have been nice to be told that.

Food decidedly average. Lamb OK, spinach tasted as if cooked in vinegar. Hummus part of the starter but no bread served with it. Bill incorrect, charged for extra bottle of wine and veg that we didn’t have. Was corrected but no apology.

A really excellent meal. The service was exactly what I want from a restruant and creates a place that I would recommend others to use. Booking on line is easy and everything went well.

Lovely food with appropriate portion sizing. Good service but very loud in the dining room. Asked to pay £10 per head up front but wasn’t recognised in the first bill. Will be back

Excellent menu with choices that suited everyone in the party. The quality of the food was excellent along with very good service, all in all a relaxed meal in lovely surroundings.

Never disappointed with the service here, great Mother’s Day lunch with the family

Fantastic meal..service was very good.The ambiance is lovely..the food was amazing and very tasty .we highly recommend a visit and we will definitely be back

Our meals were fabulous and it was like the whole restaurant was ours too, as nobody else was in there until nearly an hour later!

The staff were excellent ,friendly, courteous,and attentive, the surroundings and view couldn’t be faulted , food was cooked faultlessly, but portions were barely adequate,and not quite value for money ! however will probably visit again for a2nd impression would have thought that chicken breast ,with grilled tomatoes ,should have been served with some kind of potato , it was not !

Although overall the meal was excellent, we were made to wait for ever to order then we had to wait for a sweet order, then I had to go to the bar where the manager quite clearly didn't give a monkey's to ask for coffee, There wasn't a lot of choice on the menu either. When you spend £250 on a meal for four you do expect a little bit better service

Six of us ate, we all very happy with our food. my tempura prawns were perfectly cooked and the rump of lamb for main was very tender. Wine choice very good and reasonable priced!

Always a good experience. A very busy time for the staff but they respond well with smiles and good humour. Food good . The fires were very welcome.

Great character pub. Dog friendly bar. Very helpful and polite staff, lovely roaring fire and good ambience. We will be returning soon. Very muddy carpark though

great food, lovely atmosphere. Suggestion for improvement - ask your guests if the would like a drink. had to catch waiter eye and was quite a task to do so! missed our coffee at end as order was never takena nd we gave up

Beautiful restaurant, wonderful food, generous portions. Great service, all in all a brilliant meal. We both had steaks, mine was fillet and my husband’s was a sirloin, both were perfectly cooked.

The Finchs is a lovely special place with a great ambience and great food. It's a wonderful local to relax into the weekend. It's discerning but not pretentious

Excellent food, swift and courteous service. Only downside was the noise from a party of 6 near us, who were enjoying themselves rather too well. We realise that this wasn't the fault of the Finch's.

Lovely food in a great setting,the service abit slow but all servers very pleasant.Parking difficult,best to park on road.I would recommend this eatery for a leisurely meal.

We felt that the restaurant staff could have been more friendlier and cheerful. The person who greeted us and took us to our table did not smile once and looked fed up. Had to to ask for tartare sauce and vinegar for our cod and chips. No sugar on table for coffee. Food was very tasty and well presented which made up for the somewhat perfunctory attitude of some of the staff. Felt the ambience was less warm and welcoming when compared to our last visit 18 months ago.

Superb food, beautiful venue and great staff. The menu choices are very varied so most people can find a few choices that they like. A really great lunch in a great setting.

Unfortunately our experience was ruined by a large and understandably noisy group of Birthday revellers. We were trying to catch up with friends but couldn't hear ourselves think let alone talk across the table. It would have been courteous of The Finch's to advise that this party were celebrating that night, we may have cancelled on that occasion but would definitely book for another date - not something we'll be doing in a hurry now.

Went over and above to accommodate my vegan diet for all three courses, wonderful atmosphere and beautiful location. The food was absolutely amazing, me and my partner had a wonderful anniversary.

A return visit. Good service and excellent food - the steak was very tender and the chocolate brownie was the best I've ever had! Highly recommended

Sunday lunch very tasty , well cooked and good portion size . Had run out of chocolate brownie pudding which my 3 year old was a little disappointed about , good service , lovely setting .

Excellent food and service as always! Love this place! The staff coped under difficult circumstances as it was extremely hot! They were very accommodating to all out requests.

Excellent food and beautiful location. Good value lunch at £14.75 for 2 courses and perfectly cooked. Was busy when we went on Saturday lunchtime and looked like they were preparing for a wedding later on in the day, there was a bit of a delay in the drinks arriving but the waiter apologised. No delay in food though, so all good. Will be back!

It was our first visit here and we weren't disappointed. Food and surroundings were gorgeous. Lovely team of staff too. Good value for money. Can't wait for our next visit.

Had a lovely lunch, staff were attentive, all three dishes good, fish cooked well thankfully not overdone. A very warm day, room could have done with a few fans. People were using there menus to fan themselves with.

Have been twice lately, one of our favourite pubs/restaurants. The first time we were only charged for 1 lunch as we had only had 2 starters, unexpected and a very nice gesture. Thankyou, Mark. The second time last week , for lunch, it was busy , and I felt the waiters etc were a bit rushed, understandable, so no time for a bit of banter, humour, etc, which always helps, makes you want to return. Otherwise, food is dependable and atmosphere, particularly in the older part, is lovely.

Food delicious. Staff helpful and attentive. Weather was lovely enough to eat in the garden. Shame the hedge is so high it spoils the lovely view of Rutland Water, which is one reason we went.

Very good food, and good value for money. It took little time for our order to be taken, but after that the 2 courses we had were very promptly delivered.

Excellent summer lunch. Nice table overlooking the garden from the private restaurant. Chef right back on form from last time we visited 2 or 3 years ago. Beef medallions with feta cheese and chorizo- top meal!

The meal was great. It always grates a little with me when what I consider to be vegetables that should be part of a meal are offered at extra cost. Otherwise things were excellent.

Great lunch today and pretty good value . The beef medallions with Chorizo were exceptional. No paper towels in the gents but problem sorted promptly. Would love to visit again

Had a really nice evening here, staff were good, food was excellent, good choice of wines, and the whole experience was pretty good. Will definitely return!

The Finches deserves more than my score of 4..... if only it could get its service up to steam. This is my 3rd visit here... we come up to visit one of our sons..... the food is fantastic but the service is SO slow and requests get forgotten.... this has been the same on all 3 of our visits.... the staff are friendly and it is a fabulous location......but it should be better.

Simple menu but very good quality of food with excellent service in a vibrant restaurant. Great chicken and bacon salad and salmon risotto with a lovely creme caramel.

Really loved our visit, the staff were fantastic and very attentive. Luckily the weather was kind to us and we were able to enjoy our dinner outside with a beautiful view or Rutland water
