The Olive Branch is the Rutland & Leicestershire County Dining Pub of the Year and was the Good Pub Guides pub of the Year 2021.
Country Pubs
The local pub is still an important feature of Rutland village life, which means you are never far away from a great place to eat. For traditional culinary experience offering personal service, home cooked meals and real ales, a more authentic English experience will be hard to find.
Many of these are part of the Rutland Campaign for Real Ale [CAMRA] so you can be assured of a ‘proper’ pint!
