A Leamington bar has clinched top spot at an awards celebrating local independents.

Now in their 12th year, the hotly contested 2025 Muddy Stilettos Regional Awards have been announced with 21 brilliant local indie businesses winning the coveted lifestyle crowns across Warwickshire and West Midlands.

Readers of the award-winning lifestyle website Muddy Stilettos have been nominating and voting in their hundreds of thousands for their favourite independent businesses across 21 different lifestyle categories – from Best Destination Pub to Yoga/Pilates Studio, Boutique Stay to Local Food/Drink producer – and shining a light on the most creative, unique indie businesses across the counties.

Reaching more than 11 million people nationally in eight weeks, with half a million votes and nominations cast nationwide, making it the most popular Muddy Stilettos Awards to date.

And announced last week, Peaches in Leamington Spa has been named the Best Bar in Warwickshire and the West Midlands.

Catherine Vonledebur, Editor of Muddy Stilettos Warks & West Mids, said: “It’s been an honour to showcase these most creative, innovative lifestyle businesses across Warwickshire, the West Midlands and surrounding areas.

“Muddy Stilettos first launched in Warks & the West Mids in 2016 and the response to this year’s Muddy Awards has been incredible with thousands voting to support an amazing array of local businesses big and small.”
