Lion House Tea Room in Staffordshire Moorlands

Discovered by chance when looking for a lunch venue. I really enjoyed the soup and cheese scone and my partner was very impressed with the quiche. The china crockery is really lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful.

As a local to Leek always keen to support local businesses. We don’t usually stop off for food in the town, often choosing to take our local purchases home. Today we however visited the Lion House. What a treat, beautiful home baked scones and tea served in china teacups. Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. We will definitely stop by again.

We had great food with great service at this gem of a location in Leek. This was our first try of Staffordshire oatcakes and we loved them so much as well as the tea rooms that we returned for some more. The staff were really friendly and helpful and helped with serving our large party of a mix of ages wonderfully.

Lovely friendly restaurant, good selection on the menu, friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. We visit regularly

Visited recently looking for an afternoon cup of tea and cake before going to our hotel. This is a lovely tea room with friendly and helpful staff. We opted for tea and scones with clotted cream which were delicious. Loved the quirky china the food and drink were served in. This place is well worth a visit and a lovely way to start our weekend break.

My sister and I had lunch here today,our first visit.The staff were lovely and the cafe has a welcoming feel.We both ordered the turkey ,stuffing and cranberry roll,(mine on gluten free bread).It was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.A large teapot to share, which was very welcome!Nice little Christmas touches in the crockery!Well done to the Lion tearoom ,we will be back!

Lovely lunch , food was very good . Portions are generous . We shared a large tea pot and were offered more hot water which is a nice touch . We will return .. try you won’t be disappointed 😀

Visited many times love the scones and other items are always good. Wish it was open more often as they are closed Monday and Tuesday.

I ordered my girlfriend an afternoon tea from here. The food was delivered exactly when I requested it, in a large box with instructions for warming through some of the food.We loved every single food item. By the end we were really full with a little bit of cake left over for later.We will be going here again and definitely be ordering the afternoon tea.

Lovely lunch, great deal, lovely staff, Covid secure and the cakes are cracking! A great addition to some great tearooms in Leek!

Cute, quirky place with yummy, locally sourced food and friendly service - we came here for breakfast and lunch, and were so pleased we found them. We shamelessly call ourselves coffee snobs - and their coffee was def up to our standard. ;) Highly recommended! A little gem in the heart of Leek.

We were staying in Leek for a party and on a wet Saturday afternoon felt the need for the comfort of cake and coffee. We came across Lion House by chance and gave it a try. excellent friendly service a huge a delicious scone and piping hot cup of coffee. Just what we needed to set us up for the rest of the day.Thank you

Excellent service, nice setting let down by average coffee that is plentiful but lacks depth and any true flavour. In fact, it tastes no different to a free coffee out of a machine at the office (sorry). I have to admit though the service is super friendly, clean and pleasant atmosphere. I wouldn’t come again for their coffee. Haven’t tried any of their food but cakes look good.

I visited with my daughter the food was of basic quality, I ordered the afternoon tea expecting something extravagant as it cost me £16.00 (I had a different coffee so the price was increased by £1).I find the afternoon tea was extortionate pricing for what it is "1 small sandwich, a tiny sliver of cake and quiche, 1 drink and a scone"I have to say the scones are delicious, but there is a lot of competition out there with better quality afternoon tea at the fraction of the price of yours.

Full English breakfast was top quality and served with an oatcake. What a treat! Tea in China cups and pots with plenty of ssrvings

We visit Lion House pretty much weekly and we love it! A very good, friendly and welcoming cafe who use locally sourced produce and are helping to cut down on plastics! Cakes are amazing, oatcakes even better. Well worth a visit!

Called in with a friend for a hot drink on a cold afternoon. My friend's coffee came in a huge cup and my tea came in a quaint teapot I had at least 3 cups of tea from it! Great service, lovely looking cakes and friendly staff.

Lovely warm cafe with great cakes and drinks. Had a lovely pot of tea with fabulous miss matched crockery. The coffee and walnut cake was lovely. The rainbow cake looked great aswell. Well worth a visit, warm welcome and lovely table service.

Dropped in for a quick lunch and was surprised and delighted at the food quality and service. The ham in the ham and cheese toasty was hand carved rather than the usual wet packet ham experienced in other places. Wife's bacon and mushroom quiche was nicely filled with good quality bacon that was properly cooked as were the mushrooms. Coffee and walnut cake was moist and a good serving of clotted cream provided with the scone. It's not the smartest of places but try it - I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I love this tearoom. It’s absolutely fabulous. The salad boxes are amazing We regularly call just for a pot of tea and a coffee. The breakfast are top quality Be back again soon

A crowd of us with a baby and a bedraggled Spaniel decanted into the Lion House Tea Room on a very wet day in Leek... A warm welcome from friendly and helpful staff, with lovely fresh food and cakes to go with the tea and coffee. I find that scones are usually dry and stale in tea rooms by mid-afternoon but I took a risk and these were just delicious. Others had salads and sandwiches, all of which was fresh, homemade and much appreciated. Worth a visit if you are wandering around Leek town centre.

We called in for Lunch after long walk around Rudyard. The soup and sandwiches were lovely, the staff were friendly and polite. Value for money was also extremely good The cakes looked gorgeous so we will definitely be back to try them.

I would choose the lion house tearooms every time, Everything is either locally sourced or home cooked/baked.

I've been to Lion Heart a few times now and have yet to be disappointed. The staff are all polite and kind and the food is spot on and clearly homemade with a great deal of care. My personal favourite thing to have here is Afternoon Tea which is not only affordable (a rare thing in the world of Afternoon Tea) but absolutely delicious - their homemade quiches are to die for, and that from someone who doesn't even like quiche.

We arrived at this cafe early after a cold night camping, although it was 30 minutes before officially open we were welcome in. The food is excellent, the service very good and whole place is a nice place to relax. There were six of us and we all enjoyed the food including the vegetarian options for breakfast. We also bought some scones to take home and these were equally as good as the breakfast. The coffee was also good and they had a great range of teas. All in all very pleasant place, great friendly people running it and would not hesitate to go back or recommend.

I visited the Lion House Tearoom yesterday afternoon with my son and our dog. I had heard very good things about this tearoom, and after a long walk in the sun around Rudyard lake we decided to pop into Leek and visit the Lion House. I love the fact that I was able to bring my dog into the downstairs tearoom, this isn't allowed in many places now-a-days sadly. I had a latte, which was incredibly good quality. The coffee was sourced locally and was very good indeed!

Well it’s our second Visit to this amazing cafe.

Had coffee with friend as I knew this place would not disappoint. Friendly staff and good service. Will call again.

My husband and I visited & ordered afternoon tea, it was lovely, both thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the China cups & tea pots.TY.

Came back for a 2nd visit to make sure the first visit wasn't a fluke. It wasn't, in fact if anything it was better! The only thing more impressive than the glorious food was the efficient and genuinely friendly service! Cannot recommend this place enough and you MUST sample the freshly made cakes! My only complaint is that i don't live closer!! Well done and long may it thrive!!!

We discovered Lion House Tearoom while we were in Leek this morning. Delicious food, excellent service and delightful surroundings; We'll definitely be back again soon!

Great little cafe just off the high street. Ideal for a quick beverage or lunchtime sandwich. Varied choice on the menu & selection of cakes available. Pot of tea is very generous - check out the teapots . Efficient service with a smile.

The four of us went for a hot cocoa, we had it but because it looks real good we also went for a afternoon tea. One person preferred some less sweet afternoon tea and that was no problem at all. We could have the afternoon tea the way we wanted it.

We popped into this lovely tea room for the first time this week. The furniture is very eclectic and it creates a nice atmosphere. It is counter service but they were quick and nothing was too much trouble. They offer free help yourself tap water which is chilled and tea is served in a real teapot. The food was reasonably priced and to a high standard. They offer a selection of local ice Cream and homemade cake and afternoon tea that looked amazing.

What do I need to say, just read the reviews. I've never seen a better set of reviews for anywhere. This is a gem of a place if you are looking for a Tearoom. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food is all home cooking and they couldn't be more helpful with food allergy advise. Everywhere was clean and tidy, including the loos. 5* recommendation.

Situated on Russell Street, close to Halifax Bank.

Back in time to a very comfortable and pleasant place for morning coffee and to meet friends. Service is good and ambiance relaxing.

We regularly visit Lion House when shopping in Leek. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake it has everything you need. You are always greeted with a smile and their own unique blend of coffee is amazing! I'm always on slimming world and there's always a syn free soup or salad box to choose from, and if you're not on a diet the cakes are to die for! Everythings fresh, homemade and considerate to the environment, you can't get better than that! We love Lion House!

Visited Lion House this morning for breakfast and it was absolutely wonderful! We both really enjoyed the exclusive Lion House blend of coffee!! They really have thought of everything and all the little touches such as the classic cup & saucers and tea pots were fabulous! Everybody was very welcoming and service was very quick. Will definitely be coming back again and trying the afternoon tea! Thank you Lion House!

Called in yesterday for lunch. The best food we have ever eaten in Leek. Polite, friendly service and proper, homemade food, using quality ingredients, and a full pot of tea, too! Absolutely no negatives. Cakes fantastic! We will be back.

Went in for my lunch today have been in several times before. Always a friendly welcome and relaxing atmosphere. I've had a double oatcake today which is by far the best oatcake I've ever eaten, on the menu it points out how everything is locally soutced. I then had a curly wurly homemade chocolate cake and a latte which is also their own blend of coffee. By far my favourite tearoom. Quirky decor with a teapot shelf and blue chandeliers. Also do takeaway everything.

went last weekend to lion house tearoom in leek and wasn’t sure to expect! I ordered a lion house cappuccino, and afternoon tea with my partner. The cappuccino was amazing, I’ve never tasted coffee like it. There was bacon and mozzarella quiche, Victoria sponge and some sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The cake was moist and the nicest Victoria sponge I’ve ever had, and the quiche was lovely. We ended up staying for a few hours and the owner and staff were friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome. The decoration was really nice. We are coming back this weekend! Can’t wait!

Such friendly staff. Menu is good if you fancy a snack or afternoon tea. Prices are very good. A lovely atmosphere. Immaculately clean. Disabled toilet. disabled access on request. Very twee. Music not to loud and relaxing. All local produce. Take out available. All biodegradable. I would recommend this to everyone. 5 stars all the way. Not one complaint. A lovely message at the back of the menu.

Visited this new eatery last week with my son who temporarily needs a wheelchair.m Was pleased to see a ramp was available if required. Toilet facilities easily accessible. Food ok and pleasant service. Reasonable prices.

Lovely quirky cafe, lovely staff, good coffee and slimming world soup. Clean and warm. I will return

A lovely atmosphere, not a large place but it felt more spacious than it was. Food was hot, fresh & tasty, complimentary fresh or lemon water is a nice touch. The staff were friendly, helpful & informative.

I've visited Lion House Tearoom weekly since the opening and i cant praise the place enough! I've tried various dishes off the menu and never been disappointed. The crispy oatcakes are deffo a favourite of mine! It's perfect place for a spot of lunch with friends and family, or even a coffee and a piece of cake. So warm and welcoming with a great atmosphere.

Called in on a cold late morning to warm up. The coffe was excellent and served with quiet efficiency. The cakes looked delicious but we went for the cheese scone. This was an inspired choice as they were some of the best we had tasted. The background music was pleasant and quiet enough to allow normal conversation. The whole experience was one of old fashioned service and quality. We will definitely be going back. A really good place for families but could be difficult for wheelchairs.
