Mastodon The Festive Leicester Mulled Directory ⋆ Laura Hadland: The Extreme Housewife

The Festive Leicester Mulled Directory

I can deny it no longer. The Christmas lights are on in the city and there are reindeer bimbling around in Jubilee Square today, next to the Wheel of Light. So the festive season is officially upon us. In my book that makes it time for a new directory. Where has mulled wine, cider or other delicious spiced hot toddies available this Christmas? I can’t survive without a delicious warming treat and I need the information of where to get one at my fingertips.



As ever, this directory will be regularly updated. I shall endeavour to review those that I get to try so you know how good they are. You’re welcome.

1901: The Turkey Cafe, Granby Street
Jaeger Spiced mulled wine and Rekorderlig Spiced Plum are available now. Plus festive afternoon tea is on offer and they are open every day from the 29th November because they’re full of festive cheer.


Black Horse Aylestone
The Black Horse are one of the first off the blocks to get their mulled wine offer out there this year. Couple that with a pub dog and an open fire and we’re in cosy festive heaven!

  1. There are plenty of mulled ciders out there too Lianne 🙂

  2. I'm not a wine drinker myself [believe me, there are times I wish I liked it!!], so I'm intrigued about the soft drink option The Exchange have!
