No wonder the horse stayed hungry!

i really don't get the obsession with eating out at pubs all the time , home food is far superior with just a little practice

[Finnegan]

I do like Freestyler though

Who doesn't?

Unforgiven now

Weirdo!

The Red Cow on the A47, just before LFE was good the last time we went there.

There's also the Axe & Compass just outside Wolvey, or the Blue Pig in the village itself, both serve good food.

If you want to go a little further, then over the border there is a really nice pub, The Pheasant, I think it's called, in Withybrook.

The Bell at Monks Kirby as well is probably one of the best pub/restaurants in the whole of Leicestershire IMO. Superb.

My parents live in Earl Shilton, the poor sods. The Hinckley area certainly lacks good eating establishment. The only suggestion I can make is the Man at Arms in Bitteswell, although that is closer to Lutterworth. The Bluebell in Stoney Stanton is also worthy of a shout, but it really depends what you are looking for. Both of the aforementioned establishments offer very good steaks, or at least they did when I last patronised them. The Man at Arms steak was in league of it's own. Melt in the mouth stuff.

It was my favourite choice a not too long ago but it went downhill rapidly and I've not heard that it's recovered. When I used to go you'd have queues outside at 6.00. Two steaks and a bottle of wine for around £12.50 at the time.

It's a bit far out anyway. Basically I want somewhere just outside the City.

As for the bread it seemed so old it might have been a bit left over from Christ's feeding of the 5,000.

Nice to see the Ricoh got it's catering supply in the end

Cook for yourself

:D With my youngest son being a chef and my wife probably as good as him in the kitchen, there's no chance of me getting anywhere near the gas cooker even if I wanted to.

The whole idea is to save my wife having to come home after 10 hours at the market to yet more work. I know it let's em know their place but even I can see she's knackered. :D

Couldn't Levi and Andy King do the cooking?

Thanks Lisa. I'll look forward to trying the Pheasant but it's a bit far for the circumstances and the same with the Axe and Compass and Ric's suggestion, both of which I like. But the Red Cow sounds perfect.

Levi's out cos it's dangerous standing on a stool near a hot stove.

But surely Kingy could be in there, assisting Levi, spreading the tools to him?

Even the chippy's are shit in Coalville.

Chaplins near Blockbuster and Dominoes is quite good
