Best January cheap eats
Caned the credit card at Christmas? Then swanky dinner dates are probably off the menu this month. Cue the Muddy-approved cheap-ish, chic dining spots.
-
The Olive Branch, Clipsham
For a village pub, this one punches well above its weight. We head into the Rutland countryside for a memorable meal as it celebrates its 20th birthday.
-
The George, Great Oxendon
Sunday roast at this beautiful bucolic pub ticks all the boxes.
-
Muddy refuels at Hercules Revived
This independently run, relaxed, grown-up pub/restaurant close to Market Bosworth is well worth making the journey for.
-
10 banging brunches
Bring out the elasticated trousers! Hearty to healthy, from prosecco to pancakes. Does your favourite brunch spot make the list?
-
The Royal Oak
Awarded an AA Rosette four years on the trot, Muddy books a table at this Long Whatton pub with rooms to see what all the fuss is about.
-
The Langton Arms
This village local in Church Langton has had a complete refurb. Gone is the dated pub and in its place is something seriously stylish and the food's not bad either.
-
The cosiest pubs with fires
Come in from the cold, snuggle up and enjoy a pub lunch or pint in one of these delightful boozers.
-
Muddy’s fave new hangout, The Priory
After a stylish gastro pub for lunch or dinner? We've found just the joint down Loughborough way.
-
The Wheatsheaf Inn
This traditional, family-run pub is quite possibly one of the prettiest pubs I've ever visited and the food is not bad either. Shall we?
