  • "The food was absolutely amazing! Nowhere else like it in Oakham. Such a good selection of food which was all superb."
  • "The burgers were fantastic and better than any of the other burger restaurants I have been to."
  • "We tasted some of the food and cocktails at the pre-opening event last night - all delicious!"
  • "The wings where top drawer amazing and the Mississippi mud pie was next level - it got a happy food dance."
  • "My partner and I visited Orbis for the first time earlier this year and had the most wonderful evening."
  • "Lovely place, friendly staff, great atmosphere and very tasty food."

Cons:

  • "I had the ribs and skinny fries which was a special but it should have been called skinny ribs as the ribs were nearly all bone."
  • "Halloumi sticks looked very odd and weren't crispy golden, they had a strange white coating on them. The pork was also very dry."
  • "Ordered food tonight, 2 Rutland burgers, onion rings and salt and pepper squid. Pretty much the whole meal was bad."
  • "Sadly I was very sick after my meal, ill call this a 'one off' even more to my amazement."
  • "Firstly, the crispy chilli squid. Came out floppy and pale. Not at all crispy. Sent it back and it just got refried, so it was double oily and very bland.."
  • "The food collected was disappointing. The beef wasn't pink as advertised but overdone and tough."
  • "Not sure what has changed since the last review but sadly the 'Classic Burger' was the same quality as a McDonald's but at 3 times the cost."
  • "The beef wasn't pink as advertised but overdone and tough. There were too few vegetables."

Atmosphere and Environment

Pros:

  • "This place offers something a little different and more laid back to other venues off the high street in Oakham."
  • "The two games rooms (one for board games, the other with a pool table and some free arcade cabinets) are a great addition/touch."
  • "Wow what a place. Booked table for three for a friend's night out and the angler didn't disappoint."
  • "Went to celebrate my partner getting a new job, was greeted with prosecco and the waitress giving us congratulations. The vibe was amazing, very friendly staff and quick service."
  • "Excellent location and when you walk in/around the place you realize that it's so much bigger than you realized when standing outside!"
  • "All in all, we enjoyed the food and overall experience......especially being able to relive our childhoods playing Street fighter & Pacman before we left."
  • "What a fantastic couple of hours! Firstly, the warm welcome we got as soon as we arrived was nice. Secondly, the atmosphere was upbeat yet chilled."
  • "During the most chaotic time in living history, Orbis really came through. They had our pizzas with us in half an hour and then, the pizzas... amazing!"

Cons:

  • "I usually visit for a couple of hours, but left after thirty minutes."
  • "Although the arcade machines have been off the last few times I've been in, which is a shame."
  • "Upon leaving, the ladies bathroom had no toilet roll at all.. again..they'd been open an hour and a half... Did no one check before they opened the doors???"
  • "Food was tasty. Found it very cold as people in and out constantly going for a cig and leaving doors open."
  • "Tried for the first time unfortunately not impressed. We were sat between two families with children, on one side the children were squealing."
  • "Visited here on Saturday evening with three friends... There were no signs advising that it was a private function. We were very embarrassed and will not be bothering to visit again."
  • "Just another expensive restaurant. I think for what we had - which was ok but nothing special. It was overpriced."
  • "Wanted to book but I'm not giving my credit card details beforehand."
