We moved into our house last April, and there is a mint bed in the garden, I'm very much a newbie when it comes to gardening, so what should I do with the plants in the mint bed now all the leaves have either fallen off or gone brown?

Unless the soil froze to a depth of several inches, the mint is likely to come back from its roots.
Note well: Mints of all varieties are very invasive. They can completely take over your entire garden and your neighbors' gardens too.
if you don't like the rugged look you can trim them off. we use a hedge trimmer for larger patches of deadheading instead of using sheers or scissors. it goes much quicker.
