  1. The Rutland Arms on Brown Street serves good homecooked food. Menu below. There is a thread about the Rutland Closing/Re-opening on the forum where people have given feedback on the pub and menu.

  2. Thanks - all praise appreciated but we will continue to try and improve and keep making it better. It is not the same owner as the Wig & Pen, I ran the Wig & Pen until about 6 months ago but am not connected with there in any way now. Several of the Rutland Team also have worked at the Wig & Pen, but again are not connected now. Glad you think its improved, and as per my posts on the long shut down/reopen Rutland thread plans are to keep investing in the pub and that definately includes the beer garden next year. Ale wise prices vary but cheapest we have had on is £1.99 and most expensive has been Jaipur at 5.9% £2.65 and Gorlovka Stout at 6% also £2.65. Usual price range is £2.50 to £2.55 for most of the 7 ales on. Will be trying new ales as we go but Sheffield Brewery Blanco Blonde (£2.49) and The Brew Company Hop Ripper are both repeat favourites of our regulars. All feedback private or public always welcome and as boringly laboured already we strive to improve. Me, Joe, Paul and the rest of the team would say a massive thank you to our regulars and occassional visitors. The warmth and support and friendship from those locally and further afield who use the pub have made the Rutland what it is again and made us all feel very welcome in a short space of time. Long may it continue. Oh yeah - xmas bookings now being taken and new food menu due in a few weeks (have to plug it a bit after three paragraphs).
  3. Just a quickie to let you know the Thursday Quiz (Thursday from 9pm) is back this week. Sorry about last week - DocFest prevented it but back to normal this week. Hope to see you all down here, trying to win some beer.
  4. Thanks, it was a great night and we all enjoyed working it as well. I believe the pork sandwiches are one of the chef's planned additions for the December menu. Also thanks too everyone who came and tried the real cider - we will be keeping one a week on. This week Naish Farmhouse Dry (6%) from Somerset.
  5. Just to update you - the real cider has arrived for the "cider festival" starting tomorrow till the first of November. Some sampling last night confirms it will be great (while stocks last). Also on the chip front we now have Henderson's Relish for all those who asked - my apologies for not starting with this available.
  6. Sorry - perhaps should have put menu on here for people to see when we started last week. It is very home-made centric, ie we bake our bread, make our batter, tartare sauce, thick cut chips, pies etc. Menu Food Served Monday – Saturday 12-8 Sides Home-cooked Chips £1.95 Onion Rings £1.95 Side Salad £2.50 Bread to share £3.50 (cheese & tomato or rosemary & garlic) Sandwiches All served with a handful of Paul’s homemade chips and posh dressed salad leaves B.L.T. - Crispy Poitrine Fume (that’s bacon to us normal folk) with tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise.

  7. Beer garden will be reinstated. Taken over 20 sacks or rubbish, trimmings etc out so far. Won't be getting new tables till next summer when we replant and spend some more time on it. For now there are still 3 or 4 tables which are well used even in this weather. With respect to cars mine is there at the moment as I am still doing loads of running around while setting up pub and several workmen are using it intermittently as we do bits up. No intention of taking customer space with my car or other peoples going forward though. Maybe a few more weeks though. In respect to the other thread and MJ being in the pub - I have not seen him. If he is indeed alive and living in Sheffield he could do a lot worse than come here for a pint. Lots of his tracks on the juke box keep getting played though eeerily!
  8. Just remebered I have also been doing that twitter thing for the RutlandArms. Is twitter.com/rutlandarms I think. Now I am over 30 I find this new technology tricky, and keeping to 140 characters. Anyway have 6 followers (tweeters, tweetees ? - sure there will be some technical term I should be au fait with) so I am no Stephen Fry! Updating people on beers and the like on it so follow the pub if you want - or just visit.
  9. There is another thread called something like "Rutland Closing (no its open again)" which appears to have been on and off for many years worryingly and has been resurrected once again for this opening. Won't replicate all the stuff on that one but yes we are open again. New selection of real ales, currently Stannington Stout (fantastic pint), Blanco Blonde, Lions Pride, Marstons Pedigree, Jennings Cumberland, Crucible Best and as of last night Troggi Real Cider from Wales. Not tons left of the real cider but you won't need a lot. Also bigger wine list and Budvar lager in. Come in and see. Food from October 14th 12-8 Monday to Saturday. Cheers to everyone who has been in and general positiviity. Will keep improving.
  10. Going well, cheers to everyone who has been in and the positive comments. Food due Oct 14th from 12-8. Enjoying the real ales and a few new ones arrived today.
  11. Opening tomorrow - come down and see. Much thanks to everyone who has helped get us to this point. Too many to name but generous all of you withyour time and effort. Special mention to Dave, Andy, Brian, Big Joe, Liz, tireless and veery talented Ray, a big thankyou to Pat and Eddy and of course Laura who has done tons and tons of the less glamorous jobs and fit around her proper full time job. I am so unbelievably excited and hope to see you in there!
  12. Anything up to about thirteen quid suits me - I hate going out, fancying red wine and getting a drink which is then awful. I was in the pub near the student church/theatre and had a large glass for about £2.50 but it was horrible. Would far rather have spent £4.50 and enjoyed my drink and time in pub. Thats why I worry about £5/£6 bottles (but would happily have one if people say its good). May try Trippets next time I am out. Or a friend has suggested Milestone to me (but does not know what grape it is).
  13. Hopefully the title explains it enough. Which pubs do a really nice house wine that is reasonably priced? I am more a fan of red so best red appreciated.
  14. "TEA Traditional English Ale (ABV 4.2%) The brewery’s flagship ale is pale brown, with a hoppy and slightly fruity aroma supported by malt in the taste. A well crafted, bittersweet beer with a long dry finish. A classic Best Bitter." I think it was first brewed in 1992 and won 1st place in the Hants Down Beer festival under 1045g catagory. Has won lots of awards at beer festivals down south (winning Woking in 2003 and 2004). Got a CAMRA Gold in 2000 in best bitter catagory and was a finalist in 2007 Champion Beer of Britain Bottle Beer Catagory. If TimeOut is to be believed it is also the 5th most popular bottled beer in Russia. (yes i have been on the website - I liked the beer - I don't stalk it). Anyway that all proves nothing - it is the great thing about real ale tht there is so much out there to try annd it caters to different tastes. T.E.A was my first real ale after 3 years in Hull drinking Snake Bite and Black (snakey b for any other Hullumni) and got me into to all the many many others I have had since then. I think it is a single hop variety which probably makes a difference (need a brewer to telll us if this supposition based on nowt is true). I also assume real ale has changed over the last 15 years in that newer brews use different countries hops, different blends, newer equiptment and on and on. Anyway each to therir own (I love Ginger Beer too - thought I would find Little Valley easier to get post Oakwood but sadly not - most people seem not to like it though). Anyway still no nearer to a pint of TEA so may actually have to visit my family this Xmas and have some then (or buy a bottle - but thats cheating).
  15. I have not had it in about a decade, but enjoyed it in Arford, relativley near the brewery. Maybe cos it was one of me first (with Abbot Ale and London Pride) but have always enjoyed it (always meaning not for ten years - so more of a hazy memory).
