  • More emphasis on wildlife and conservation?

Oakham pub appeals for epic love stories


Show me the love: epic-pubs-8

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching the team at Mill Street Pub & Kitchen in Oakham are celebrating the best stories of love and romance in Rutland and want to hear from couples with epic love stories.

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the pub is offering the couple who impresses the judges most with their love story, a romantic three-course dinner for two, an overnight stay in one of its boutique bedrooms and a delicious breakfast the next day.

So if you have an interesting story about the lengths it took for you to first get together with your partner, the challenges and obstacles your relationship has had to overcome, a marriage proposal with a difference or maybe you have been together for an epic length of time, then the Mill Street Pub & Kitchen team want to hear from you.

Mill Street Pub & Kitchen’s Chris Watson, says: “Valentine’s day is the ideal time to celebrate your relationship and the reasons why you first got together with your partner and we can’t wait to hear from local couples their stories of where it all started. Mill Street Pub & Kitchen is the ideal place for our winning couple to enjoy a fantastic romantic night away and they will be in for treat.”

The winning couple will be announced on Tuesday, 14 February (Valentine’s Day).

To be in with a chance of winning all you need to do is email a photo of yourself and your partner around the time you first met and a picture of you both now, along with brief details of your epic love.

Mission Improbable – Cancelled due to illness


Dear all, I am sorry to have to tell you that the performance due on Saturday has had to be postponed. One of the Opera Dudes has suffered a torn retina and is having an operation today. Assuming all goes well, we are being offered an alternative date this year which will be Saturday June 3th.

We had sold out and it would obviously help me if you could let know when I have confirmed the date whether you wish to use your payment to reserve tickets for the new date.

Otherwise, I will arrange repayments in either cheques or cash depending upon your method of payment.

Alternatively if you wish to use your payment for the Fordante concert on March 25, please let me know.(We are over 30% sold already).

Kind regards

John Hackett
