Had a meal here with some friends last night (06/12/2023). Food and service was great. The restaurant was busy but this didnt impact on the service at all. Will definitely visit again.

We have just got home from an amazing weekend at the marquess. Everything about this place is 1st class. The Indian food is the best we have ever tasted. The Sunday roast outstanding! The staff couldn?t do enough for us. Places to visit around, Uppingham, Rutland water and Stamford. A full weekend. We would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you the Marquess team.

We visited this lovely and cozy restaurant with hotel rooms couple of weeks back. The experience is so positive and we don't have any hesitation in recommending it. The food is so delicious and they have really authentic Indian food there. Remember to ask for the secret menu with all those special Indian dishes. We loved the coconut curry with prawn which is one of the top curry dishes that I have ever had. The services is excellent there and the people are very professional. They keep the restaurant very clean and tidy as well. We also have a good overnight stay there. Bathroom amenities could be an area of improvement though.

This place is incredible, the food is fine dining Indian and it?s really really good! Good value and the staff are top notch. We went on a Monday and didn?t know the restaurant was closed to the public and only for guests in the rooms. Once the staff found out they said - don?t worry we?ll fit you in anyway!

Very pleased to recommend. The food was sumptuous. An ideal location for those, like me, that love Indian cuisine. Do seek it out. If you like your dish to be scorching hot and your mouth left numb once replete, this is perhaps not for you. If however, you appreciate nuanced flavours and superbly cooked lamb and chicken and leave having had a well balanced meal?..Do GO!

Lovely village pub, food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I?d recommend picking from the specials menu, best Indian food we?ve tasted.

The rest of the family ordered standard pub food, fish and chips, gammon and chips, vegetarian burger. I ordered lamb rogan Josh at £17. It didn?t come with rice. A small bowl of curry, no rice. £17. I have never been anywhere that requires you to buy rice separately when ordering a curry. Now don?t get me wrong, it was tasty. Really good. I just expect rice with my curry! The manager wasn?t interested in my complaint. We travelled 40 minutes to eat here for our sons eighteenth birthday celebration but I wish I had taken note of previous recent reviews and stayed away. Overpriced and poor, poor customer service.

We took 4 friends as we had been previously and were delighted with the food, though on this occasion we were very disappointed. We all ordered from the Indian menu, the portion sizes were very underwhelming, served in a small dish, the rice had to ordered separately, so in total approx. £21.00 for a curry with rice, the food was tasty and well cooked, but we did leave still feeling hungry.

We stayed overnight and ate in the restaurant. Very pleasant welcome, we opted for the food off the Indian menu. My husband had an issue with his starter which was quickly rectified, the rest of the meal was lovely and tasty.

Fantastic service and fabulous food. The choice available was diverse and the items we tasted from the Indian menu were exceptional.

We went for a meal at the marques of Exeter in Rutland we were so looking forward as meeting up with sister inlaw celebration of two birthdays. The food order took some time,the drinks were fine. Once our starters came a bit on the small side on the plate. A prawn cocktail on a plate not in a serving large glass. We awaited our main courses, no one checked if we like more drinks. The Indian food arrived To our amazement small ramekin bowls of Lamb 4 -5 pieces Chicken- 4-5 pieces Lamb pitivier Two tiny bowls of rice Two nan breads we ordered again small. We were not impressed at all but as it was a special occasion we did not want to ruin our special evening. Now the big question the price. Each dish £17:00 for the Indian Main. We had one drink each only the bill was £200.00 Also poor service. I will not recommend this place at all over priced and very little food served. I would recommend Sarpeth of Oakham the give good service,great food for good value.

My friend and I stayed for a couple of nights and ate our breakfasts and main dinner here for both days. The food was excellent, full of wonderful flavours that complemented each other, often with a subtle delight which really focused one?s attention on the food and fully enjoy it. The food was excellent, the service superb. The room we stayed in was in need of some ?tlc? but still comfortable. My understanding is that the whole business was a fairly recent purchase by the chef owner and special attention is being put into the restaurant and food, building its reputation from here, it?s clear that the improvements are being made bit by bit to all areas of the business, and neither my friend nor I had any complaints about any aspect of our stay. With this in mind I can recommend The Marquess of Exeter to anyone looking for a base to roam Rutland from and a wonderful meal to reward oneself with at the end of the day.

Without a doubt one of the best meals I?ve eaten in a while. My husband who?s not so keen on Indian food also agreed that it was the best meal he eaten of lately. We shared a fish starter and papadum both were delicious. For mains; my butter chicken was excellent and coupled with a pashwari naan it was a combination made in heaven. My husband had a lamb main and he was also singing praise. We highly recommend this place and the ambiance was great and the character of the building makes it a great place. There?s also a pub menu if you?re not sure what to choose from which is great.
