The Cutting Room was originally a section of the Melton Regal Cinema that was converted to a pub by the Smith & Jones Pub Co. The pub has now become part of the Stonegate pub group. It is a popular venue for the watching of sports with no shortage of screens from which to enjoy Premiership football or other sporting events, with extended opening for tournaments. The Cutting Room consists of a large single room with the bar to the left and a raised section largely for dining at the rear. Above the bar is a large balcony that can be hired for private functions but at busy times is usually open to the general public. The Cutting Room is a popular part of Melton's evening economy with usually up to five real ales on offer and a real cider.
