1760 Brasserie at The Barnsdale: A Taste of Elegance in Oakham

It would have been a lovely birthday evening except disastrously slow service, booked for 7:15pm, sat at table at 7pm, had to ask to order drinks and food arrived at 8:30pm. Food was lovely when came but pretty cross by that time! Didn’t have dessert as couldn’t face the wait. Thank goodness was half price Monday although didn’t fix the experience

Absolutely amazing experience. We had spa day and atmosphere, beautiful view and staff is really lovely, professional and welcoming. Spa ladies all were so amazing and lovely. We requested vegetarian for our afternoon tea they made really delicious vegetarian option. Beautiful presented. I absolutely loved the place, food and spa experience.

Fabulous food, love the new orangery .. nice polite staff .. one needs new pumps! I would like to see staff badges so we can use their name when talking to them.breakfast and evening meal was delicious. Can’t fault the food.

We ventured to 1760 as part of our stay at the Barnsdale Hotel. All the plates were well executed and tasty, and we left well fed. The wine list was well stocked and it was nice to be able to order a carafe. Definitely worth a visit, with prices at £70-100 a head.

The food was lovely, menu choices are really varied. The downside was that we waited for 40 minutes for a jug of water plus 5 more for bottle of wine, at that point we could order. The four of us enjoyed our 3 courses, compliments to the kitchen staff! It appeared that too many people were booked together making it difficult for waiting staff. We had 1 menu to share for the majority of the time. This didn't spoil our evening, but is hopefully useful feedback. The waiting staff were brilliant given their circumstances.

The restaurant has beautiful decor which very much fits the countryside vibe. We were greeted by staff on entry and seated with a lovely view of the hotel courtyard. The starters were sizeable yet light. The mains were delicious! The Lamb was cooked to tender perfection as was the ribeye steak. For dessert we shared a slice of crème brûlée cheesecake which was absolutely heavenly. And all washed down with a few glasses of champagne. Definitely recommend a visit if you’re looking for amazing quality food in a delightful atmosphere.

We had a delicious Sunday roast here. We came with kids and elderly parents and they were all catered for beautifully. The service was first rate and the food was delicious - perfectly cooked meat and really thoughtful, tasty vegetable sides.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this hotel. We were fortunate enough to book this place last minute and we were extremely impressed. The spa facilities are immaculate; every detail has been considered. The highland cows around the spa are so CUTE The lady that worked in the spa (I can’t remember her name!) was so lovely and friendly. We then had our evening meal in the restaurant. Not only was the food amazing, but Joseph was one of the most friendly waiters I have come across. His welcoming, warm approach made us feel most relaxed. What a lovely hotel! Will definitely be returning
