"Popped in here for lunch. They have a limited lunch menu and also 2 vegan sandwiches but they are fantastic- avocado on toast with either pesto or hummus. We tried and loved both of them- quality ingredients and great presentation. Also had some juices (green one the orange one) and had a vegan treat to take away (an oaty one). They had 4 vegan treat options and they said they usually have more. They had non dairy milk options (saw oatly and alpro soya). Mostly take away although some benches inside and one right outside too. Updated from previous review on 2022-05-09"

"Lovely place to stay in lovely Uppingham. Chef beware of over sweetening your savoury dishes. Rooms: Stayed in the main building and the room was very nice and comfortable. Good bath and shower products, good power shower and all nice and clean. Bed good and slept well. Food drinks: We ate dinner in the restaurant. The service was very good, efficient and friendly. The food was well presented but I found much of what I had too sweet. I started with the Stinking Bishop Brûlée, which was served cold. I found it stodgy and claggy as a result of it being cold. As it was a brûlée I had expected a crust but possibly something more savoury than sugary. I took it off and left it as it was overpowering. The biscotti’s were also sweet, a little dollop of apple sauce was very sweet and the little apple and cress salad was sweet. There was a dollop of a balsamic reduction but not enough to temper all the sweetness. I had the halibut for main. It came with a cheese crust. The fish was a good portion but it was way overcooked probably due to the cheese crust. Again there was a lot of sweetness on the plate with very sweet celeriac purée. There was a gammon and leek side and the leek was sweet too, so I found myself trying to get a bit of gammon on every mouthful to again temper the sweetness. There were 3 of us that all had the same starter and main and we each found it all very sweet. The 4th in our group had the Indian spiced cauliflower starter, which was great, and the Seabass main, which was also good, however the rice dumplings were like rock hard bullets. We didn’t have dessert as felt like we’d already had it! We stayed in the hotel and the breakfast was superb. I had the Traditional Full English and there was no sweetness messing about confusing my tastebuds, I’m pleased to say. It was great with nice locally sourced quality ingredients."

"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."

"My husband and I have had breakfast at The Vaults a few times, so we decided to treat my brother and his wife to breakfast today. We were welcomed by the lovely Katie and Henry, who took our orders of avocado and poached eggs, as well as a full English breakfast with flat whites. The food was cooked perfectly and the flat whites were delicious. We really appreciate the friendly atmosphere at The Vaults and the staff are excellent. Thank you Katie and Henry for the fantastic service! I highly recommend this place."

"This is 100% the very best chinese food i have ever had. I shared prawn sesame toast and salted chilli mini ribs as starters with my wife. The toast was fabulous but the ribs... wow! They were to die for! Amazing! For my main i had chicken schezuan and crispy shredded chilli beef and egg fried rice. The chicken schezuan was fantastic, the rice was wonderful but the shredded beef... i have never tasted this done so well. Any other chinese i have tried just pales compared to Choi's. The service was prompt, polite but in no way pushy. The bill was £44 for two of us which would be good anyway but for the quality of food we recieved was more than a bargain. I was so impressed i asked to meet the chef. I was taken thru to the kitchen and i thanked him and bowed with respect. Stunning! Go there... you won't regret it!"
