Update Oct 24 ...No longer serves food. Real shame 😔 Nice, traditional "olde worlde" pub with lots of character. Very good value food menu for £7, plus other options. Friendly helpful staff

Boothroyd agrees that this a good place for an old King to drink. Surprisingly large pub with a rear patio. Boothroyd decided on a pint of draught Bass. Very good traditional ale. Sat in the strand twixt bar and garden, close to the Throne Room. Enjoyed the music.

I do not enjoy football (sorry). But we went to the kings today and watched the football. Excellent food at half time, superb atmosphere. There was a disco that played what the customers asked. Had a sing along. Made new friends and actually enjoyed the football. Well done Steve and Keyley, you run a great pub and thank you. Had the best time ever

Very atmospheric old pub. I decided to take my family instead of struggling to find parking in Leek on December 30. Nearby parking is very cheap. The beer was outstandingly good. Meals were also really nice - not too much. Fried fish absolutely first class. Kids dinner ok with a fruit juice. Ok for small children who'll probably leave most of it in any case. But over 8's I'd order an adult dinner. Lots of different rooms, and nooks and crannies. Even the piano in reasonable tune with just one sticky hammer. Mature Staff when we were there.

Service was appalling whilst me and my husband were visiting for drinks we witnessed him yelling at a group of girls and proceeding to lock the doors on them when they got up to leave. I'm unsure about what provoked this but the reaction from the "professionals" was completely inappropriate. Overall it was a poor representation of the pub itself and i strongly feel that new staff are needed.

Beware, on ordering a gin and tonic and a pint of bitter, at a busy time on Saturday night at the bar, the barman tried to charge me £23.35 for the two drinks. He quickly flashed the card machine at me and I could easily have just flashed my card at the handheld card reader which he presented without letting me see the amount. He was most apologetic after I queried the exorbitant charge but it is difficult to see how such a mistake was anything other than a hustle.

Appalling…. staff which made us feel very uncomfortable as the two of them blatantly sat there and watched us eating our food while talking about us in the distance. Greasy shepards pie and I had a sharp hard stem that I cut my mouth on. The grease from the food made me feel so bloated afterwards to the point where it was a struggle to walk back to my car. Afterward I finished my meal, the staff never came to the table as we patiently waited for a desert as I mentioned to them that I wanted one, it was clear that they just wanted us to get up and leave. They are two faced and the pub is only popular because it’s ran by women walking around in tight sports wear. Don’t know where all of the good reviews come from, never again!

We have been visiting family in Congleton this last 4 days and been here for dinner every evening. Could not believe how cheap the food is compared to what we pay in Southampton. It is very tasty and the portions are very big. A lovely old pub with very friendly staff. A bit noisy on a Wednesday night as have a singer (who cannot sing) as entertainment. Pity about the very loud and drunk old lady too. She drowned out everything with her screeching. Highly recommended otherwise.

We sat amongst the group of local chaps who all appeared to have escaped domesticity to sit and talk nonsense, at least for a while , in the haven of their favourite pub. The friendly staff serve excellent well kept local ales and very reasonably priced food. We had dishes of veg slathered in melted cheese and looked at the various Titanic memorabilia which , given that this is a Titanic themed chain, may or may not be original (they’d be worth more that he pub if they are). Very pleasant lunch.

At the Congleton Food & Drink Festival in the town streets. Very good, very busy, not over cheap. So we just popped into this real old pub for £6.95 Sunday lunch. Choice of roasts. For me, roast beef with two Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes and SIX veg! All for less than a gunge burger in the street. Brilliant with 5 beer engines too.

We stop here because i was drawn in by the sign outside for cheese pie which is a winner from me every time. The bar was very busy and it was only early which is always a good sign. The food wasn't expensive and it's home made which you just can't go wrong with. Very nice bar with the food to match, will definitely be returning.

I have just been to have Sunday lunch sadly I would not recommend it roast potatoes not cooked not really roasts, chicken came out all white like it had been broiled? as it was put in front of me, it did not look like a roast chicken dinner should someone else sent there 2 meals back who ever is cooking in that Kitchen should have a good think about what they are serving and presentation. It is sad when you have no good things to say about the meal.

Why have we not been here before ? We live only a short taxi ride away why why . ? You would need a biblically high ride to bring the sea anywhere near this old inn but despite that they excel in fish cooking .. Fish is tricky to cook well , a moments intention when cooking and it’s destroyed . The chef cooks here with love and reverence to the food he provides. The boullabaise is simply sensational with a trawler net full of variety mussels, clams prawns, langoustine, squid ,white fish ,mackerel and scallops and I may have missed some others .all bathed in a wonderful sauce that compliments and does not overwhelm the fish . A warning It’s not cheap , this is not pub grub but it’s worth it . Starters and desert were equally fab and the service is friendly informative and prompt but not rushed. A perfect night out to celebrate our anniversary . The present Mrs S is worth it .
