About Rutland Arms Inn
Your hosts, Tavis Small and Jennifer Gilbertson-Small have a passion for hospitality that extends throughout both of their careers.
Tavis and Jennifer both have Bachelor degrees in Hospitality Management and have worked in the hospitality industry and related fields in London and Wellington. Both Wanganui born and bred, they returned home in 2005 to open Espresso Garden Café at Gilbertson Mitre 10 MEGA which they owned for five years, before looking around for a bigger challenge.
In 2010, their friends and previous Rutland Arms owners, Mike Hos & Brigid Crowley convinced them that the Rutland already had a winning formula – perfect for Tavis and Jennifer to put their own spin on. And, it suited the couple who wanted their three young boys to be involved in the business. Their youngest son loves showing hotel guests to their rooms, wrangling the coffee machine, or washing dishes, while the oldest two are content with being the chief taste testers in the restaurant!
Any down-time the couple get, they like to spend at their family holiday home in the Marlborough Sounds. Tavis is forever chasing elusive big fish or stags, and loves riding motorbikes with his boys. While Jenn loves home improvements, and is forever chasing a little bit of peace and quiet!
“We welcome you to the Rutland Arms and hope you enjoy every moment you spend with us. If there is anything you need during your stay to make it more comfortable or enjoyable, please come and ask.”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went for Saturday morning Brunch,
sat in the bright airy courtyard & read the menu.
There is the usual selection of offerimgs with the bar operating. We had Bacon & Eggs,an Omlete & Waffle Stack all nicely cooked & presented with bubbles & hot chocolate.
Good value, nice environment & helpful staff. Worth a visit when in Wanganui.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love the indoor outdoor flow. After Farmers market and art visits, a very welcome cooling Apple Cider/Craft beer stop. Also a place to refresh for lunch,and reenergize.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good pint, but insultingly overpriced food. I ordered a lamb filo thing with a long description for $22 and received barely a mouthful if nourishment. Perhaps I had inadvertently stepped through a portal to the Champs Elysee as I crossed the threshold…but alas the view through the windows and the quality of the food remained firmly those of Whanganui, it was only the feeling of having been financially set back several months by a snack that carried any similarity.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We like the Arms. The room was comfortable. Parking at the back. The craft beer line up is above average and meals were delicious. Goat curry and tuna are pictured. It is also right in the middle of Whanganui. Easy to find and easy to get in and out of. We did it and you aren’t likely to be disappointed. The locals agree. Packed.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ [Review in relation to the Cafe only]
Nice setting, definitely more of a winter vibe.
Service was a little distant, food was OK.
They FORGOT to take our food, until I reminded them.
Drinks were nice.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is our third visit to stay at the Rutland Arms. We always enjoy staying here. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast is a must have. The muesli, fruit compote & yoghurt, and toast with a choice of spreads kept us going for a good part of the day. We ate in the restaurant both nights and found the food to be very good with generous servings. I must make mention to the attentive staff in the bar & the restaurant, and the lovely cleaning staff. It is great to see you all still there when we return.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dude behind the bar is awesome, fast, efficient and friendly even though Friday night was busy.. Dinner was amazing. Cheesy garlic bread best ever. Lamb rump. Perfectly cooked, tender and tasty. Bottle of wine to share. Wife had sticky doughnuts for entree. First time she's been quiet! You gotta try it just once. Her words 'the tuna meal is amazing, perfectly seared and tasty other bits on the side'

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The room was great; clean, spacious and elegant with windows that could be opened for fresh air. Housekeepers were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice change from sterile motels and hotel rooms. We were in the deluxe suite. Bar and wait staff were also lovely and we felt very welcomed and comfortable. Would stay again. Situation was brilliant, so close to restaurants, galleries and the river. Summer must be even better!
