The Captain Noel Newton: A Pub Steeped in History and Oakham Charm

Nestled in the heart of Oakham, Rutland, England, stands The Captain Noel Newton, a JD Wetherspoon pub with a story as rich as its selection of ales. More than just a place to grab a pint, this historic building offers a unique blend of traditional charm, modern comfort, and fascinating local history.

A Legacy Etched in Stone

Step inside The Captain Noel Newton, and you'll be transported back in time. The building itself dates back to the 18th century, originally part of a grand house named "The Limes." Stepping stones from the walled garden still remain, whispering tales of past residents and social gatherings.

But the pub's namesake, Captain Noel Newton, deserves a mention too. A World War I veteran and later a member of the Rutland County Council, Captain Newton left his mark on the town. After acquiring the premises in the late 1940s, they served as the Royal British Legion for over 60 years, a testament to the community spirit embedded within these walls.

Modern Comfort Meets Traditional Pub Fare

JD Wetherspoon has lovingly restored the building, preserving its character while injecting a modern touch. 

And of course, no pub is complete without a hearty menu. The Captain Noel Newton delivers on that front, offering an extensive selection of traditional pub fare alongside vegetarian and vegan options. From juicy steaks and fish and chips to hearty burgers and light salads, there's something to satisfy every appetite.

So, next time you're in Oakham, be sure to raise a glass at The Captain Noel Newton. It's not just a pub; it's a living piece of history, a comfortable haven for locals and visitors alike, and a testament to the enduring charm of a good old-fashioned English pub.
