The Finch's Arms

The room was clean and comfortable, sadly, the Wi-fi didn't work,nor did the TV in the room In the restaurant, the food was lovely, the service was ok.

Food was very nice , service was very slow , sparkling water bottle was put on the table and we were left to open the bottle ourselves , not good service .will go again but think they should speed up waiting time .

Buatiful summers day setting and excellent food. Service a little bit hit and miss, but in general an excellent summer dining experience. Is in danger of becoming too large, seeming to be built on more and more on every visit.

Excellent meal, very busy but all food was deliciously prepared. Created a very good impression on our guests from Germany. I would heartily recommend this venue. Thank you.

A very pleasant evening - the food (from the set menu) was good and good value. We will definitely be returning at some point in the near future.

What a lovely place The Finches Arms is. My son and I enjoyed the 2course 'Special' meal deal. There was a good choice. It was nicely presented and piping hot. Would highly recommend.

The hotel was in a delightful situation. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was clean and good value. There were a couple of areas that were not so good: we returned from dinner to find that our bathroom was infested with midges; the service at dinner was good but exceedingly slow... so slow in fact that we gave up waiting and cancelled our coffee at the end of the meal. Overall the hotel was good and we wouldn't rule out staying there again.

Poor service. Not enough staff on duty on a really busy Saturday. Took ages to get served. Manageress was lacking customer service skills. Won't rush back.

Warm and welcoming. A great setting and lovely venue. Food was really tasty and a walk around the peninsula to work off the calories! Well worth a visit

We had lunch on the terrace and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable lunches I have had in some time. The food was excellent and very good value

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The service, the setting and the food were all excellent . The Yorkshire puddings were the largest I have ever seen.

Very poor service. Was told to queue at the bar to be seated and the queue was out the door. Just one young man serving so took over half an hour before we could attempt to be seated. Manager just apologised stating that she had worked a 17 hour shift yesterday!!! Others that arrived after us were seated before us because it appeared they knew a member of staff?! Have been before and was impressed by the food but unlikely to ever go back. We left without eating :(

It was our first visit to The Finch's Arms but we enjoyed it and would return if in the area again. Our evening meals were very good and it sounded as if most of the other diners near us were regular, repeat customers, which is always a good sign. We also stayed one night b&b and enjoyed a good quality full English breakfast. The service was good although they did seem rather understaffed, so credit to those who were on duty. Overall it was an enjoyable visit and we enjoyed our meals.

Great atmosphere, service and food. We have visited loads of times sometimes just for a drink after a long walk around Rutland water. Always an enjoyable experience.

Francesco was a wonderful waiter and the food and wine and setting were glorious! We'll definitely be back again and again. The veranda was gorgeous as well!

Great food, slow service (but it was very busy), they forgot the coffee and we decided to call it a day. Would visit again, hopefully when they are less busy.

Upon arrival, warm greeting was somewhat missing. Only to be expected I guess when you employ students at weekends. Menu was limited with regard choice. We were given menus and then allocated a specific time by which our order would be taken, very strange? Spent an enjoyable 3 hrs sitting outside at a table that was requested but not reserved. Went to pay the bill and were told the staff had lost our bill. Clearly moving tables created mass confusion. Nice setting though and would return.

The dIning room was very pleasant and there was a lovely terrace too, although it was not quite warm enough to sit outside. The staff were friendly and efficient. There was a good choice on the menu and the food was delicious. Probably more suitable for an occasional meal rather than the sort of place you would pop in every day.

Very clean, nice atmosphere. Lovely food served very quickly and decent price. Downside it was busy and staff seemed a bit distracted with drink orders but over all happy

The food, service and decor was delightful and we will definitely return for dinner. It was quiet when we attended during the week which meant that we and the other customers in the resturant were rattling get around. Those in the bar were on an ideal location for when it is less busy.

Great food, good service. The starter was not what was expected as there were only 3 battered prawns, not much but you do pay extra. That being said the food was high quality and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

We all had the set menu which was excellent and they we're happy to make a couple of adaptations, the staff were all friendly, it was very busy and service was a bit slow but it didn't matter as we'd been given a table overlooking Rutland Water as requested so we were happy, would visit again.

Better than average pub food, including beautifully cooked scallops and wonderful beef. The atmosphere is agreeable and the service pleasant. To the credit of the waiting team, my guest and I were never addressed as "guys".

Lovely pub. Food was fab and staff busy but polite and helpful. Set menu good value for money. Roast meats delicious and raspberry sorbet was divine

Spilt cola on main dish, took away to redo but never arrived. Service very slow perhaps understaffed. Food very good but service lets it down

Food excellent. Service very slow. Atmosphere pleasant and the situation stunning. Staff helpful but clearly having problems coping with a busy Saturday night . Had a lovely Family Sunday lunch recently so will certainly go again and hope for better service.

This was my third visit to this restaurant, this time it was for my friend's birthday and her first time at this restaurant. Once again the food and friendly service were excellent, along with the beautiful setting made the whole experience a very memorable occasion for my friend.

Service slow because they were unexpectedly busy. 30 booked for lunch, but 80 arrived! Nice E European waitress. What will we do after this terrible referendum result.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff and the food came quickly. Never felt rushed The steak was the size of s flip flop and cooked just right!! Also in a lovely setting. Great stuff.

Great food, although service not quite up to their usual high standard - seemed to be very busy and a bit understaffed. Lovely lunch overall, not rushed and portions weren't excessive.

Such delicious food well presented enjoyed in comfortable, relaxing surrounding. Staff extremely patient and helpful even though busy. We are well travelled people, so have experience of many restaurants. We only regret not booking for the night. We hope to be back.

Excellent food. Especially the Cod and the Lamb Rump. Both cooked to perfection. Quiet, calm ambience. Nicely spaced tables. Would have expected a jug of water as a standard though eventally offered with the dessert. Delicious panacotta for dessert. Prompt and efficient handling of the bill when requested. Excellent value South African wine by the glass.

Excellent food drink and service in very comfortable atmosphere. Prices commensurate with quality. This was a weekday lunchtime visit and not very busy, perhaps for this reason car parking was easy on site. Given the potential number of customers (restaurant seating) I have to say that if it was at a busier time there might be difficulties finding a parking space because, in reality, the only way to get there is by private transport. This could present problems at busy times, especially for persons who might find walking difficult. Overall a very good experience and highly recommended, my only reservation is that of parking at busy times. Booking by computer easy and impressive.

The food was great, well presented and delicious. The surroundings were nice too, comfortable and relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend a visit

Overall the hotel was everything and more than we expected.Staff excellent & couldn't do enough to please. Although just having a a la carte menu at night wasn't to our taste as we were out all day & missed lunch time menu,but realise its easier when resturant busy. Couldn't fault breakfast on choice & quality.

Good food and service, friendly staff. Great location. Perhaps the restaurant could be a bit cleaner, and the dining room décor and furniture looking a bit tired, but in general we liked the place and enjoyed the food.

Accomodation very clean and modern. Food quality very good, ate ciabatta lunch, set menu dinner and breakfast. Service good but staff, need more training, carrying glasses of wine , cutlery, condiments to table by hand should be on a tray, hygiene. would recommend.Will stay again.

We had a girly meet up and everything was super! Weather meant we could sit on the superb terrace,the staffwere helpful,pleasant and efficient from start to finish. The food was very good,tasty,well presented,beautifully cooked,with plenty of options,and we thought it very good value for money. We have been quite a few times and will go back whenever we can,and I would recommend the Finch's to anyone.

The venue, service and food were excellent - a super place, and one to revisit, whether with loved ones or those who you would like to quietly impress. Such a superb time.

Lovely lunchtime spent with friends. Food fantastic! First 7 words sum it up but can't post until reached twenty five words so hence this extra waffle!,
