Wine venue and spa among best independents

Bouquet Wine and The Spa at Breedon Priory are celebrating after being recognised among the best independent businesses in the region.

Little Eaton-based Bouquet was named best bar in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire in the latest Muddy Stilettoes Awards.

Meanwhile, The Spa at Breedon Priory won the top prize for best Wellness Break.

Bouquet is a bar and shop, selling wine from smaller independent producers with a focus on sustainability.

The multi-award-winning The Spa at Breedon Priory offers relaxing, five-star spa day escapes.

The Muddy Stilettoes Awards, also known as the ‘Muddy Awards’, aim to put standout independent businesses in the spotlight.

The winners are voted for by the public – and this year, nearly half a million people cast their vote.
