East Midlands Food & Drink Experiences

It is a wonderful place, amazing food, kind staff and it was made even better that the sun was shining.

We were well looked after and there was no issue with booking by email or outside of hours promoted. Priest house has a feeling of luxury if you're buying a gift and the food was delicious and plentiful. Tea and coffee are unlimited and service is attentive.

After a slow start the talk, tour and wine tasting with Helenka was very interesting. Fascinating history brought right up to date. After our light meal there was no rush after the tour to leave so we had a walk around the vineyard and lake. A lovely place to call in for lunch and drinks plus they hold a number of events throughput the season.

A lovely afternoon looking out across the Birmingham skyline on a bright sunny afternoon. The afternoon tea was so plentiful that we could not eat it all and had to bring some home! Plenty of hot tea, with refills on request. Would highly recommend.

delicious food, good service, easy to book, lovely view of Rutland Water

Me and my friend had a lovely drink and lunch at Veeno. Great staff, great food

Good day. Food was nice. A table cloth would have been better on the table.

Brocklebys where great. Easy to contact ( unlike buyagift) and made sure I was given a lower table to work on. The evening was great fun and our pies where amongst the best there (though we are both hands on arty people :-)

Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about the distilling process but, more importantly, was able to communicate that information clearly to absolute novices. He was welcoming and engaging, and took care to check that a lady who couldn’t use the stairs was okay during our absence on the tour. Fully recommend this experience, particularly as the last phase of it is tasting their absolutely delicious products!

The afternoon tea at Rutland Hall Hotel was brilliant - a warm welcome from the attentive and friendly staff combined with really tasty food in really comfortable surroundings. The food was very good indeed and very generous portions - we ended up taking some away with us as we were full! The background music was very well chosen, and at just the right level to be clearly audible without being imposing. The only criticism is there was a noisy ventilation fan near where we sat, which just took the edge off the ambience of the room…..

The host was great at explaining everything and very informative. Learnt a lot about coffee on the day and had a great time tasting and creating our own coffee blend.
