Rutland Water Food and Drink

 

Whether you're exploring Rutland Water by boat, bike or on foot, you’ll probably want to stop and refuel along the way, and our many food and drink areas are the perfect place to do just that.

Harbour Café at Whitwell

Nestled next to the water with fantastic views across the water, our Harbour Café offers something for everyone.

Pop in downstairs during the warmer months for our grab-and-go options, or wine and dine upstairs all year round. Enjoy a chilled glass of prosecco on the balcony in the summer and cosy up next to the fire with a delicious bloomer sandwich or warming homemade soup during the colder months.
