Providing a local, mutual alternative to the big banks, The Melton Building Society, Oakham, Rutland

Providing a local, mutual alternative to the big banks, The Melton Building Society, Oakham, Rutland

Providing a local, mutual alternative to the big banks, The Melton Building Society (often simply called "The Melton") has been a fixture of Oakham’s High Street for years. As a building society, it operates differently from a standard bank; it is owned by its members rather than shareholders, meaning profits are reinvested to provide better rates and support for the local community.

The Oakham branch serves as a vital hub for residents of Rutland. While many national banks have moved toward digital-only models, The Melton maintains its physical presence to offer face-to-face service. Their approach combines traditional values with modern financial products, focusing on:

Personal Savings: A wide range of accounts including ISAs, easy-access savings, and specific accounts for children and businesses.

Mortgages: Expert advice for first-time buyers, those looking to remortgage, and even niche areas like self-build projects.

Local Support: The society is well-known for its "Community Support" initiatives, often sponsoring local events and charities within the Rutland and Leicestershire area.

The branch is designed to be inclusive, featuring an automatic door, wheelchair access, and an induction loop for those with hearing impairments. The staff are noted for their personal touch, often knowing regular customers by name—a rarity in the modern financial world.

Whether you’re looking to open your first savings account or need advice on a mortgage, you can find the team at the following location:

Address: 23 High Street, Oakham, LE15 6AH

Phone: 01572 757911

Opening Hours:  Monday – Friday: 09:00 – 15:00

Saturday & Sunday: Closed

Leeson Family Butchers and Hoagies of Oakham.

Leeson Family Butchers and Hoagies of Oakham.

Whether you are a local or just passing through Rutland’s county town, a visit to Oakham High Street offers a masterclass in traditional British food. 

Two businesses, standing side-by-side, represent the very best of the local food scene: 

Leeson Family Butchers and Hoagies of Oakham.

Leeson Family Butchers: Award-Winning Excellence

Established in 1998 by Steve Leeson, this traditional butcher is famous far beyond the borders of Rutland. 

While they offer a full range of high-quality, free-range meats including beef, lamb, and specialty sausages—they are perhaps best known for their Melton Mowbray Pork Pies.

The shop is a serial winner at the British Pie Awards, consistently taking home "Show Champion" and Gold awards. 

Their pies are still hand-raised in the shop, using traditional methods that have earned them a loyal following. It is the perfect place to stock up on a Sunday roast or a prize-winning snack.

Visit them at: 31 High Street, Oakham

Hoagies The Ultimate Lunch Spot

Located right next door (and often working in tandem with the butchers), Hoagies is the go-to destination for a high-quality lunch in Oakham. 

Owned by Andrea Leeson, this sandwich shop takes "fresh and local" seriously.

Because of their close family connection to the butchers next door, you can guarantee that the meats in their sandwiches, paninis, and famous sausage rolls are of the highest caliber.

Whether you’re looking for a classic ham salad baguette, a hot jacket potato, or one of their legendary homemade cakes, the queue out the door at lunchtime tells you everything you need to know about the quality.

Visit them at: 31b High Street, Oakham

Together, these two shops form a culinary anchor on the High Street. They represent a vanishing breed of family-run businesses that prioritize quality and community over mass production. If you're planning a picnic at nearby Rutland Water or just need a proper British lunch, these two are essential stops.
