A week of food and drink in Rutland - what's not to like?

Organised by Discover Rutland to celebrate food and drink providers from across the county, visitors will be able to enjoy a wide range of culinary attractions, including tasting events, beer festivals, special offers and live music at local venues and much more.

As part of the celebrations, there will also be a chance to meet local chefs, bakers, brewers and farmers to find out more about their produce.

Award-winning local pub The Olive Branch at Clipsham is also offering a special dining experience courtesy of some of the county’s most prominent chefs.
