The County of Good Taste
Whatever the occasion, the Wisteria Hotel is the perfect place to gather, indulge, and create lasting memories. From lunch and dinner to Afternoon Tea, Sunday Lunch, or simply cocktails and drinks at the bar, we cater to every need with warmth and attention to detail.
In the winter months, cosy up by our roaring open fires, while in the warmer seasons, unwind in our charming bijou pop-up beer garden. For more private celebrations, we also offer a selection of private dining rooms.
We take pride in supporting local businesses, featuring Rutland-made delights such as craft beer from The Grainstore Brewery and gin from Multum Gin Parvo.
Advance booking is highly recommended, and for Afternoon Tea, it's essential. However, we also welcome walk-in guests and last-minute reservations whenever possible.
