Eating & Drinking

Kirby Muxloe has been keeping its locals well fed (and watered) for many years. The village is served by two pub restaurants, a bistro and the village sports club.

Paying homage to its medieval neighbour, and short walk from the village centre you will find the aptly named Castle Hotel, a beautiful 17th century pub restaurant. Originally the castles farmhouse, it retains a lot of its original charm.

Winter drinks by its open fires and candlelit dining are a must. In the warmer months the fashionable garden terrace overlooking the castle ruins lends itself to family lunches and afternoon drinks. Spacious, contemporary and comfy, this is the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

The fashionable Royal Oak offers something for everyone. It houses the mouthwatering Real Flavours Deli which offers hot or cold gourmet food and drinks. The deli counter is at bursting point with an amass of savoury treats and the coffee is fab, ideal for those daytime dwellers. The bar at the Royal Oak offers a variety of drinks from local to guest ales, world beers and premium wines and spirits.

Opposite the Royal Oak you can really treat yourself at the acclaimed The Foxes Den Bistro. A relatively new addition to the local eating scene and an absolute dining must. Their themed nights are a tremendous hit which varies from tantalising Asian fusion, Italian tasting menus, gourmet burger nights and so much more. The Foxes Den will keep your inner foodie well and truly satisfied.

On the move or a leisurely morning stroll, In The Wild – Trailer Co, which is located in the village hall car park, will serve you fresh coffee and tasty breakfast cobs to keep you smiling on your commute or dog walk.

If you don’t want to cook but you don’t want to go out for dinner, I’m afraid you won’t find any takeaways in the village –the residents simply won’t allow it. Quite admirable I’m sure you will agree.
