There is something special about a

great local pub

The Monk’s Cottage

A place where you can arrive for a quick drink and stay for dinner. Where Sunday lunch becomes an afternoon with friends. Where familiar dishes are cooked properly, drinks are poured generously and everyone receives a warm welcome.

That’s what we want The Monk’s Cottage to be..

The best pubs have always been about more than food and drink. They’re meeting places. Places for conversation, celebrations, Sunday lunches and spontaneous evenings that last longer than expected.

The Monk’s Cottage has been created with that tradition in mind. We’re bringing together comforting food, thoughtful drinks and warm hospitality to create a pub Oakham can call its own. A place with character rather than pretension.

Proper Food. Cooked Properly.
