Enjoyed a family lunch here. Good range of food on the menu, including vegan/vegetarian options. Staff are great, as is the food (and beer).

This place has a whole menu for vegetarians and vegans and I recommend the Vegan Don: vegan sausages, sautéed potatoes, baked beans, mushroom, tomato, avocado and choice of white or brown

Family of seven visited for Sunday lunch yesterday. From the moment we sat down, the service was fantastic. We are opted for Sunday lunch , four has the roast beef , two has roast pork and the child had a burger. The meat was of excellent quality and plenty of it. The food was accompanied with crispy roast potatoes and home-made Yorkshire pudding which was the best I?ve ever had . Also , there was a variety of delicious vegetables and lashings of gravy. Every plate was cleared and we all agreed that it was one of the nicest Sunday roasts we?d had in a long time. Will definitely be returning.

I highly recommend this place. I went for a meal with my husband here last night. We both had a starter, pate for my husband and stuffed peppers for me. They were both faultless. My husband said it was the best pate he had tasted and my peppers were delicious they were both accompanied by a tomato chutney which was also delicious. My husband had the steak for his main and I had scampi. The portions were really generous and every element of the meals were excellent. Don Paddys is a really friendly venue with great staff. They allow dogs in which I think is a great idea. I have been here at lunch time and also in the evenings just for a drink and have enjoyed evey occasion. It is a gem of a place to eat and drink.

I can't remember having a better restaurant meal anywhere. The best pate I've tasted. Fantastic Turf 'n Surf. Large prawns and a very tender steak. Faultless. Congratulations to all involved. We'll be back.

We live local and love to pop in to Don Paddy?s for lunch. We do also stop by for dinner in the evenings sometimes. A nice walk into town for a lovely drink and bite to eat.We always find the food lovely. The drinks are good too. They do cocktails of the week. We have a dog which pretty much comes everywhere with us so unless tables outside are free we are stuck.The fish and chips is great! A firm fav of mine. The staff are always pleasant. A all round good pub!

Service was slow, infact had to remind staff that we were still waiting to be served after waiting approx 45 mins.Food was served on chopping boards, which had seen better days. Didn't feel confident with their hygiene routine.Had to ask for table to be cleaned before food was delivered

A lovely place. We were able to sit outside with the nice weather, the outside area is nicely decorated and staff were just as attentive outside as they were inside. Lots of veggie and vegan options, the food arrived quickly and was delicious, great portion sizes everyone at my table left feeling very well fed. Lots of drinks to choose from and the bartender put lots of effort into making me a delicious cocktail with lots of fresh fruit. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Will definitely be returning when I am next in Uppingham.

Just popped infor coffee and cake. Both excellent. Happy atmosphere so no reason to downgrade anywhere. Tim Taylor's Landlord on tap so my sort of place.

On arrival at 1345hrs for lunch on 30.6.23 there was no one to greet, and staff behind bar were not attentive. We had to ask for a table. We then had to attract a staff member to order some drinks. She bought menus and told us on 3 different occasions that there would be a delay to get food. Drinks came and we had to again ask to order food. There was a delay but it arrived eventually. The food at this restaurant is very good and the individual staff were pleasant but no one appears to be in overall charge so the general feeling was of chaos. It?s a shame as there is a captive clientele in this lovely small Rutland town. We didn?t stay for dessert and coffee and we went elsewhere.

We visited this little restaurant for the first time for a quick meal before a concert in the local church, and again for refreshment after the concert. It has a truly lovely ambience being housed in a historic building, with a positively interesting decor, perhaps one might say trendy. The staff were friendly and polite, service with a smile which was much appreciated. I ordered a burger which came in fairly reasonable time and was very tasty. However, upon returning after the concert, we selected coffee and cake, and a pint. The drinks came quickly, but it was clear that the staff had forgotten about the cake! We know this as one of them cast a glance towards us and immediately dived into the cake cabinet! By this point (a good 15 minutes wait, or more) we had finished our drinks. Thus we didn't get coffee and cake together, as ordered. During the wait, the staff were talking and laughing together quite a bit which means the delay was not down to being too busy! In fairness, we did receive an apology for the delay but it tainted what was otherwise lovely experience. One more thing - Uppingham is a fabulous, historic town. Don Paddy's prices do reflect this, being comparable to establishments I have visited in ultra expensive Westminster, London. £18 for a relatively basic cheeseburger and £6.30 for a pint of Birra Moretti lager is, I judge, very expensive!
