Leek Bar and Grill in Staffordshire Moorlands

Superb food, friendly staff, a lovely relaxed setting for a really enjoyable evening

Lovely food,good atmosphere but waited a while for food

Lovely place, staff very friendly and quick service. Food was good but a little over priced for the quantity.

Great place to stop for a meal. Friendly staff. Good food . Highly recommended.

Lovely place to have an impromptu dinner 🍽 😋 😊

Clean friendly and good graze..

Visiting Leek from Nottingham for a show and found this venue on the internet. We were not disappointed, a friendly welcome even though we had not booked. Both starters and main courses were perfect. Will definitely come again.

Wonderful evening with friends, food and service outstanding Excellent choice for Gluten free dining

Nice place with very friendly staff

Very busy on day we were there Lovely surroundings.

Great place for food and very reasonabl price. Food is great quality. Staff and service very good would def go again

Enjoyed lunch under the canopy, could easily become a habit!

Both the service and food were fantastic, I would definitely visit again to try more from the menu. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and the cheesy garlic bread was delicious and so much of it for the price. The place is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is nice. The staff could have smiled a bit more but the service was good. Would definitely go back again.

Beautiful little alleyway with lots to see. Didn't eat here but liked what I saw

Poor service, staff don't know what their doing, drinks mixed up bill was total confusion,

Amazing food great location and styling, fantastic staff

Lovely place very popular but plenty of seating and food very good.

Food ok but not exciting. My wife swapped out rice for chips which were the standard catering frozen variety. We were charged 20p for the privilege seems a little petty.

After our last disappointing visit in September 2023, during a recent visit to Leek, we decided to give this venue another chance. What a mistake to make! Seated fairly quickly by a pleasant enough young lady, we placed our orders for coffee…. with the intention of ordering a lunchtime meal in a while. We sat and we sat…and waited and waited! After 15 minutes no sign of the coffee so we upped sticks and left! What a way to run a dining establishment ! Terrible service ! This was definitely the last visit from us…. We got our coffee from a small establishment a few yards away down the yard (opposite the ice cream parlour). Served quickly in a friendly manner and much cheaper than the “other place”!

What a jem of a place to find by accident.

Previously I've enjoyed coming here for drinks/lunch, and the setting is gorgeous. However, not sure what's happened but it's gone downhill. Went in on a Tuesday lunchtime with friends for a drink. Ordered mojitos which were not cheap... They were made from some kind of pre-mixed cocktail syrup and tasted AWFUL. Tried a different one and that was so bad we couldn't finish it. The ladies toilets were a state, in dire need of a deep clean and some TLC. All toilets broken in some way, no soap available (dispensers either broken or empty), I gave up trying to wash my hands and had to use sanitiser. Won't be back unless I hear it's picked up its standards, unfortunately.

As a single diner I was turned away at 12.30 lunch time. I would have spend more than couple just drinking coffee. Plenty of space looking around but obviously not welcome and she showed it. I have eaten there before on my own but won’t be bothering again. Made me feel very sad, it’s no fault of mine that I’m on my own and attitudes like that make me feel very depressed. Finding being single and looking for a nice meal in friendly environments hard. Just wanted a meal out at lunch time.

We came here to celebrate a 60th wedding anniversary, with a party of 11. We preordered due to how many of us there were. We all ordered the same to make things, “easy”, but how wrong was I?! Drinks: Two Stella’s were ordered, well what we thought to be Stella. We came to order another “Stella” later on in the evening, to be told they don’t sell Stella…so what we had been served will remain a mystery. Starters: We all ordered camembert and emphasised to be cooked thoroughly as one of the guests is pregnant, (can’t eat raw cheese when pregnant), majority came out raw and had to be sent back. Mains: all ordered steaks which we were waiting an hour for. The steaks came over and I asked how they were cooked as we hadn’t be asked, to be told, “they’re all cooked medium as there is so many of you”. I politely complained after this, stating that we’ve come out for a special occasion and that we aren’t having a great time. We thought this would encourage some good service… Desserts: All ordered fudge cake, again all came out frozen. We asked for the manager and the owner came over he proceeded to pick up one of our plates and try it in front of us…to be told that fudge cake isn’t meant to be hot…no maybe not, but frozen? I don’t think so. Payment: We expected to have some kind of apology, but no we had to practically beg to get some money knocked off the bill. This was dealt with by the owner/manager. He took payment off, but it was our deposit we had already paid!!! Eventually we managed to get £5 each knocked off the bill…WHAT A JOKE!

Met up with friends for lunch and were so happy to find this restaurant. Food was first class, as was the service. We were able to take our little Yorkshire Terrier in, too, which is always a bonus. Really do recommend this place.

Got seated at a dirty table with napkins all over and dishes still there. Took 15 mins for them to be cleared and still hadn’t been served. Waited a further ten mins and then they still didn’t take our order even though other tables with no one sat there were being cleared. Eventually left with our order still not being taken and the table was still dirty. Was mentioned to the bar staff and she didn’t really seem bothered.

Really good food and atmosphere, reasonable price , large portions.

Excellent food, definitely recommend

Difficult to give a really great review. My reasons. The food actually was absolutely delicious. And the service good. But unfortunately and inadvertently we decided to eat there on a night where there were several exceedingly loud parties happening. We had children muscle in on our table. To the extent where I was practically squeezed out of my seat. And the party behind us were so noisy it was like being at a football match. We asked to be moved but all tables were booked. This I should add is not the fault of the restaurant. However sadly it did ruin our evening. We ate, paid and voted with our feet. My only advice would be that even though the food was good. Unless you’re really tolerant of noisy badly behaved adults and children I’d say try somewhere else.

This is a lovely cafe/restaurant located in the attractively restored Getliffes Yard. I ordered a halloumi burger and was very impressed by the quantity and quality of the food. Good service from the staff too.

Had lunch there for our daughters birthday, food was delicious and service amazing, will definitely be eating there again 😊

Loved this place. Food was excellent, staff brilliant. Lovely setting too. Top marks! 👌🏼

Leek Bar and Grill has been a firm favorite for us for many years. They serve wonderful Mediterranean meals and mezze platters. There's a good selection of wines, alcoholic beverages, cocktails, and mocktails. The place always feels relaxed and comfortable, with pleasant staff and good food. Sometimes, there might be a bit of a wait for the food, but it's lovely when it arrives. (Grab some olives to share while you wait). The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has a disabled toilet. The only downside is that you have to go over a flagstone courtyard to enter, but it's well worth the effort!

Our 1st visit to Leek Bar & Grill, its in a lovely place up a cobbled alley. Rang & booked a table in advance but when we arrived our table wasn't there, but, the waitresses immediately jumped into action & sorted this for us. Didn't recieve any menu's but came to take our order eventually, but again got this sorted swiftly. Once we got our meals/drinks all was very nice, reasonably priced. The main waitress in the yard area was very pleasant. Would definitely go again even thow a bit hap hazand to begin with.

Fab food reasonably priced 👌Would definitely recommend.

Breakfast train. Good value. Service and staff excellent. Vegetarian breakfast could have been more 'inventive'. The prosecco was very welcome.

Stopped in Leek on way back from visiting foxtails wedding venue. Food was good gorgeous little alleyway to the cafe with some other niche shops well worth a visit food great price service excellent no wait there's a courtyard seating with a retractable roof thankfully with this weather lately!

Just popped in for a pint, market day in Leek. Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff.

Didn t eat this tome but lovely coffee.

Good selection of grilled food that was well flavoured. All came with a sensible amount of rice and a good side salad. The spicy sauce was great to add a bit of extra heat.

The wait for food or even a few drinks is ridiculous even on quiet days

Our favourite place...clean,polite & excellent food...

Very pleasant and opened on a sunday for the scooter event.

Amazing. Found this place by accident and decided to give it a go. Light and airy restaurant and very comfortable/relaxing. Lunch menu had an amazing choice of dishes, breakfast is only served till 10 (but again a great choice of dishes). The dishes we ordered turned up quickly and obviously freshly prepared, with all fresh ingredients. Definitely will visit again, and perhaps for dinner too.

A fantastic mixed grill! Would definitely go back

Finding the restaurant while out for the day, the menu looked enticing so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted with a smile at the door and once ordered, the food came very quickly. Complements to the chef, the food was sensational! Mine the vegetarian Moussaka, my partner, the mixed platter. Both extremely tasty and artistically arranged on the plates. Photographs to show. When back in the area, we will be sure to dine there again.

Food was absolutely gorgeous, I had the prawn starter and mushroom starter and for a main the sea bass with dill sauce. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. Service was on point. Only slight issue was the atmosphere, couldn't understand why it was so quiet, but we did get there quite late (around 8:30pm) on a Friday night.

The food is always lovely and the service is great. LB&G guys feels like a classy place to eat.

The food is fantastic, as well as being very reasonably priced. But it's served in bowls rather than plates which I found very odd. But I'll definitely be returning.

Really delicious food. The filet was cooked to perfection. The sides of salad and potatoes were good too. The menu has the main courses divided by types. Fish, beef, lamb, chicken and vegan. Lot of hot and cold starters. It wasn’t too busy on a Friday night but you may want to book for a big table over a bank holiday weekend. Really recommended if you’re in town or in the area.

The place is really lovely. The menu for lunch has a great variety to choose from and is very well priced. The food was really well cooked and tasted lovely. Sadly the slow and painful service really let this place down. It wasn't very busy, yet we had to ask a couple of times to different staff members to take our order. Then when the food came, they just put down the food and didn't offer any sauces or anything. They went that fast we couldn't even ask them. We then didn't see the staff back at our table until we had long finished. We asked for another fork to staff and that never turned up. In the end we got up, paid and left. We didn't stay for desserts. Big shame the staff let the place down, as the food was delicious.

Looking for food quickly, got lucky. Really nice food and reasonable prices for good amount.

As usual excellent meal and service from the Bar and Grill

We were driving between Alton Towers and Manchester with the kids and needed a place to eat, we choose Leek Bar & Grill as it was close to were we parked, we were not disappointed the food was amazing proper food NOT frozen reheats. I would absolutely recommend this place we all sampled something different from the menu and all were satisfied and full to the brim when we left 😍

Excellent, will definitely recommend, and will be going back

Everything is very good, no complaints, have been before and will carry on going.

Long wait for order to be taken and even longer waiting for food to arrive

Food was good, service was quick and efficient and the general ambiance was pleasant. For the price and time of day, mid week lunch time, what more could you ask for? I recommend Leek Bar and Grill based on our experience.

1st visit to Leek today. The Leek Bar & grill was lovely. Great , food and service. Lovely atmosphere. 👌

Good quality food and polite service

We requested a substitution of chips with vegetables but were disappointed to find ourselves charged for chips we specifically opted out of. This recurrent issue is exasperating, as it's not the first instance this has occurred. Dealing with this matter felt like a waste of my time and effort.

Nice place to eat with good food although meat on the mixed grill was drier than usual. I was really pleased to hear the sticky toffee pudding was gluten free. The guy serving checked this out with the kitchen before I ordered it. 5 minutes later I was told they didn't have any. I was really disappointed.

Only place we could find open on a Sunday in Leek but it was really nice. Food was really nice and the place had a nice vibe.

Had Brie wedges and they were still cold in the middle, to a point of still being frozen. Had sea bass with a selection of sauté vegetables which consisted of mainly green peppers and one small potato cut in half. Offered Desserts but first selection they had ran out of and so did the second selection. Coffee came without sugar so had to ask for it! Overall although food was tasty, it wasn't a very busy night for a Saturday so the service and attention to detail should have been much better.

We went for lunch. It was busy but not crowded. I really like the bistro vibe and decor in an interesting location set at the end of Getliffes Yard, an old cobbled glass roofed and very quaint setting with some tiny and fascinating boutique shops. The menu is pretty simple but their is sufficient variation to cater for a spread of tastes. The food is well prepared and presented and served well by young friendly staff. The atmosphere is lively but not loud. Loos are clean and well tended. I have been twice before and will definitely go again.

The food was amazing and the service great too . The calamari was the best I ever had and the baklava to die for !!!

Excellent Turkish food and a cracking atmosphere on New Year's Eve. Also very reasonably priced.

Food was great with a good vibe. However, what let this place down is the extremely slow service. It wasn't busy, but took over two hours before we got desert. Very disappointing

Excellent place to stop if you're in Leek. Great food and service. Recommend the moussaka which is excellent.

Came in here calling thru leek I will definitely be coming back food was unbelievable so tasty and cooked to perfection will definitely making this 40 mile journey again to come here

Loverly place with a good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings, foods quite good and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely food, staff. U sure of all the plastic plants 🪴 🤔

A lovely place to eat and drink! We had a coffee and a chill out in the morning, returning for dinner in the evening. The staff were really attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced and the cocktails were moreish! We will definitely be back again, at some point!

Went for my birthday lunch ,lovely food excellent service

So great. Really enjoyed visiting.

Alright for a coffee but ordered a sandwich that took nearly an hour to get, had to get updates twice on it. No “sorry for the wait” when it was delivered. Asked for a water - had to ask twice to get it. All in all, poor experience

3 friends and I take it in turn to visit a venue in Staffordshire . I had booked a table for 4 at another venue just outside Leek but they were shut and had omitted to let me know. So, we ended up at Leek bar and grill by chance . The place was busy, but they were able to accommodate us, if we were willing to wait for a bit, which we were . There is a variety of cold/ hot starters, and the choice of mains is broad enough for everyone to find something they will enjoy. Despite the fact that the place was busy , which is always a good sign, service was prompt and we were well looked after.There was a good atmosphere and all of us enjoyed our dishes . The food is well presented, the portions big enough. I would not hesitate to recommend / go back to this place next time I am in Leek.

Lovely place and well presented food

Lovely place and the food was fabulous Very busy when we were there

Lovely family meal yesterday. I took meatballs for starter and the lamb chops with roasted veg - delicious - try the Turkish delight ice cream - it's wonderful!!

Can't really find any negatives Beautiful place quirky and unique Staff are always friendly food is always great love the 2 for 1 cocktails early evening My favourite place to meet with friends and eat in leek

Great spot serving delicious mediterranean grub. We happened across the Leek bar and Grill on a very wet Wednesday in October. The entrance is via a quaint covered lane which shields it from the worst of the weather. I would probably remove the word bar from the title, I would not go here just to drink as it's basically a restaurant with set tables and service. The food was epic, and the server took time to explain the dishes. We went for a sharing platter to start with grilled halloumi, spicy chicken rolls, falafel and hummus. All delicious, the haloumi is the pick of the bunch!!! For mains we had chicken, meat balls and falafel, again all were spot on. Service was good, very happy with our visit 👍👍

Food absolutely fantastic, service great ,atmosphere a little bit quite but It was a Tuesday

Lovely decor, great service, great food definitely worth a visit 👍

Stopped here for lunch, was lovely

I had a really nice club standwich.

Lovely place, food and would go back, worth a try definitely

Love this restaurant. No matter what you want its never too much trouble. A quiet coffee or a four course meal, food and staff are brilliant. Great varied menu and entertainment too. Get down there, enjoy!

Great fillet steak, excellent service, will definitely return.

Really nice venue and great food

Had the absolute pleasure of dining out here recently and was blown away by the quality of food, I opted for the Lamb Moussaka and my fiancé had the king prawns with roasted vegetables. Everything was fantastic all washed down with a couple of pints of Stella.

Lovely experience at this restaurant. We share a few starters the opted for 2 x lamb fillets and 1 x lamb meatballs, with a bottle of house wine. All was delicious. Very reasonable priced and interior/layout lovely. A must if visiting Leek .

Lovely meal and setting, food extremely tasty and came out fairly quick. Good choice on the menu, nice atmosphere and staff lovely,

Great service & atmosphere. The food was lovely too. Will definitely visit again the next time we come to Leek. Thank you

We had quite a wait after being shown to our table but as it was a busy day, we didn’t mind that much. The coffee when it arrived was very nice but the plain toasted tea cakes were pre-buttered (Normally they are served with a portion of butter on the side), and they tasted like they had been prepared earlier and warmed up… so they were dry. Two coffees and two toasted tea cakes at £12.20 is a bit expensive! There are several other coffee stops in the near vicinity so we wont be back!

Lovely evening with the girls, the food is sublime, the drinks are even better 🍸 Lovely atmosphere and really helpful staff

Excellent venue, tasty food, good service. Will be coming back

Lovely & spacious with a positive vibe. The lunch was good value & very tasty

Lovely food and the young lad who served us was really nice. Would recommend the mixed grill!
