Two Old goats in Market Harborough started life in the Eco Village which I love. My daughter used to go to the performing arts centre so we’d always go in there afterwards on a Saturday for pick and mix sweets, to support the grocery store where the free fridge is, something I love in Market Harborough and to browse the wonderful antique traders (no longer there) so we often grabbed a bite from Two old goats, always fresh, hearty and homemade food.
A few years ago they had a big move, right into the heart of Market Harborough on the corner of Church st right opposite St Dionysus and their tables outside provide a stunning view of the steeple, if you get there early and can secure a seat.
Our favourite stop is upstairs where’s there’s a more room. The decor is stylish, homey and personal and the air is filled with chatter, real family vibes, a cross section of locals and visitors (the town attracts a lot of people from other places because of it's eclectic mix of independent shops) and local plants cross marketed for Susie Lickman at Windowsills plants. I love the women supporting some local vibes you get at Two Old Goats, everyone being warm and friendly, helping each other out.
Even the drinks offerings, along with Barista style delicious strong coffee are companies supporting others, social conscience companies like Lemonaid, who offer four or five different fruity flavours of fresh lemonade with part of the profit helping community causes.
The food, delicious homemade pies and pasties, stews and soups and their signature Pea and smashed avocado on toast for anyone in search of a healthy, vegetable alternative.
Although for the meat eaters two old goats have not gone all Birkenstocks and granola. They offer fine full English any countryman or farmer would be proud to sit down and devour.
