The Olive Branch
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Well-balanced and skilful use of quality produce."
Overview
Originally three farm labourers’ cottages that were knocked into one pub in Victorian times, the pretty, pantiled Olive Branch continues to fly the flag for local Rutland produce, including homegrown and foraged, as well as wonderful Norfolk and Yorkshire coast shellfish. Wine plays such a big part here that they also have a dedicated shop for it.
