Pronto in Staffordshire Moorlands

Visited while staying in Leek. friendly staff, I bought some olives and Bakewell tart slices. Both were absolutely delicious, definitely visit again. Lovely deli.

The deli may have great tasting food, but the service to the customer needs a bit of work as it is really slow.

Having just arrived in leek decided to have a coffe sat outside in the sun . Excellent coffee and friendly service. Saw the pies they had and got four put away to collect on our way home.

Open on Sunday morning so went in for breakfast..lovely bacon roll but no cooked breakfast offered. Lots of lovely cakes and treats, great place to pick up pies for a picnic.

Been to pronto on few occasions now and it is superb for a quick snack and a pot of tea.today I had a beef panini and the wife had a ploughman’s both superb and a superb price and very friendly service,thanks to all at pronto.

Pronto is essentially a very good local deli with a small cafe attached. I was very impressed with the range of regional foods, cheeses, sweets, cakes and savoury pies. The food has a very artisan feel. The staff were great - very friendly and informative. We had excellent sandwiches with interesting combinations of flavours and hot drinks, followed by an irresistible cake. In the event the cafe is full, (it’s tiny), buy a sandwich or pie and follow the age old tradition of eating it in the car.

Pronto!Pronto!Pronto! What a quality place Pronto is! Delicious food to eat in or take away, the panini‘s are scrumptious, cappuccino’s are the best for miles around and the vast array of cakes are excellent. Highly Recommend

Lovely food bit on the expensive side but it is quality foods. They have fresh soup and fresh bread each day

I feel like a kid in a sweetie shop when I visit Pronto's, (sadly not often enough....as I'm just an occasional visitor to Leek). Beautiful deli\cafe. Had an array of sandwiches, cakes, Italian pastries and THE BEST sourdough I've ever had ( it makes the supermarket stuff pale into insignificance!). Wish I lived in Leek. Lovely ladies serving too.

Hot damn, this place is the best. Love it. If you are the vegan world (and hey, is there any other kind of world), you need to try here. First off they do those vegan cup cakes, they taste great but your boy doesn't really do cake. I used to be really into those cheapo Black Forest Gateuas when I was a kid until a rather unsavoury incident with one at school camp. Anyway, straight to the great stuff, they do these curried wraps, total mouth heaven, all kinds of flavours, all vegan. SOLD! But the best, and I am not even sure I should broadcast this, the Mushroom and Sage Rolls, MAMMA MIA, these are the best. I treat myself every weekend to a few. The wonderful ladies who work here always try to get me to have them warmed up, no way, I ain't got time for that, in my mouth. You can sit in here too, but man has no time to sit. Another great thing, they have chains for a door, that's right, CHAINS, I love being hit on the way in/ way out, by these crazy chains. It's almost like they built this place for me. And it wouldn't be a review if I didn't mention want clinches this place as my number one go to for nibbles, my boy Patryk, yeah the guy from the office. He will not even venture in because they serve vegan food, that's right, he believes that shops must serve meat and meat only. He's probably chomping down on some Polish smoked bacon right now. Well the jokes on him, this place rules. And Patryk? He does not.

Tried this place as my usual place whilst in leek has lost its way, and I’m so glad we did ham and blue cheese panin /bacon roll were of the best quality and this you could taste in every mouthful even the smell inside this place makes your mouth water the vast array of authentic Italian food is impressive. Flat white coffee I’d asked for it Italian style where it wouldn’t be boiling hot was served bang on what I wanted and the coffe has a really nice nutty flavour. Bakewell slice you could taste the butter in it it was that good. Great place to sit outside and people watch in the sunshine genuinely pleasant staff. BIG THANK YOU now my place to visit in Leek will be returning

Wednesday is market day in Leek and my friend and I regularly stop after shopping at our favourite place - Pronto. It is a lovely deli with friendly and efficient staff. There are 2 or 3 tables inside but if the sun is out, sit outside and pretend you are on holiday! Enjoy a freshly made filled roll, sandwich, wrap and so much more. Then have cake! So good and so inexpensive (as this is primarily a delicatessen rather than cafe) but you can't beat it. My current favourites are the made to order turkey and salad rolls, vegan mushroom rolls and carrot cake. Coffee and tea are both excellent! So much to choose that 'cake Wednesday' has progressed to Saturday as well!

Love the food in this place, a good selection of cheese and some really interesting speciality produce. Sadly, the coffee is a let down, simply because they make it far too hot, so it becomes bitter as the coffee is burnt. Cappuccino should be at at absolute maximum of 60°c, to appreciate the full flavour however, 55°c is favoured, it should be no where near tea at 100°C! Sorry to nitpick, I hope it's taken as a friendly tip. Regardless of that, I will go back to purchase more edible treats!

I called to buy some items today and part way through finished my shopping because of a horrid situation. The woman serving me cut my piece of pate which she handled without gloves. She then took the knife to the kitchen and I saw her remove pate from the knife and eat it! She then came back, wrapped the pate and would have continued to serve. That is not good. Another assistant was cutting my meat but with gloves on so I had that and finished my shopping there. Not going back again as I would be too worried.

Excellent choice of gluten free bread,pies and cakes. Some excellent gluten and dairy free products available. The best i can find in Staffordshire.

Having read the reviews on Pronto we decided to check it out. It definitely lived up to its glowing reviews. The staff were lovely, really cheery, pleasant and helpful. The paninis were lovely, hot and crisp. Add in a lovely deli to boot. Without a doubt we will be back.

Went here for a light lunch. The food is so fresh and feels very local. The pork and apple panini was delightful along with the pork pies that they offer. A wonderful selection of cakes was a good way to finish off a great lunch. A must visit in leek.

As a visitor to Leek my Husband and I visited Pronto for a light lunch. We were served proper leaf tea and a wonderful baggette, nothing was too much trouble.

I visit this place very regularly for lunch and always have a pleasurable experience. The staff are so friendly and the food is always served quickly and tastes delicious! Highly recommend visiting this little gem you will not be disappointed.

Have visited Pronto numerous times when in Leek. Fabulous food, coffee, quality, value and service. Never disappointed and always look forward to visiting.

Thank you so much for your great hospitality and fab food 3 of us came to lunch today and vot was we treated to a delight. Food was quality hot and tasty well done we will be back very soon bravo

Pronto deli is a great deli, serving great food , best cappuccino for miles and miles, delicious paninis and cakes .Highly Recommend

We stopped off in Leek for a lunchtime bite to eat and stumbled across this place by chance ... what a find! Superb choice of freshly made baguettes and rolls, using locally sourced ingredients, plus a wide selection of home made cakes and pastries and “proper” coffee. Plus the shop has an amazing deli counter, crammed full of cheeses, meats, pasties, pies, olives, etc. Extremely efficient and friendly service. I can’t believe that there’s a better place for lunch in Leek!

Pronto is a top class Deli right in the centre of the market town of Leek, Staffordshire. Nothing is too much trouble for the welcoming and friendly staff and there is always a stunning selection of delicacies to have with your tea/coffee or to take home for later. Seating is available inside and outside but if the weather is kind take a seat outside and enjoy the daily life of this lovely market town. Please note this is a café rather than a restaurant.

Make no mistake pronto make the bezt coffee in Leek and while relaxing with a hot drink why not try one of the many delicious goodies on offer.

Leek has a nice town centre with plenty of options for a break & brew.

Stumbled over this little deli one morning and what a gem. Cakes, sandwiches and all kinds of food.Staff were really friendly and helpful, we will be coming back :)

Excelente en todos los sentidos de sus sándwiches de pasteles y dulces. Tienda encantador, limpio y a un precio muy razonable. Impecable.

If you can't get it here, then no one else will stock it. A great deli with Italian a speciality. They do takeaway food and drink or you can sit at the little tables both inside and out. The menu is quite extensive and quite simply delicious!

lovely food, we used to go often, but hit and miss whether you get decent portions. They serve lovely beef, thinly cut, but twice in the past I have had to take my panini back because 1 thin slice of beef has been spread out on the whole thing! We don't bother with the place now. Also, some staff are lovely but at least one member is downright rude. A missed opportunity.

Went to Leek on Saturday and popped in initially for coffee and cake, when I asked if they did gluten free,well,wow! What an amazing selection, pastry pies! And lots of choice! Sandwiches, scones,cake the list was incredible. So tasty, the staff were friendly & knowledgeable. What a gem. I even bought some to take home! It felt so lovely to be offered so many choices when ordering, not something I am used to at all. Thank you very much for making me feel normal when eating out! Xx

This is a deli/café vast selection of delicious delicacies to take home. Bread, meats, olives, cheeses and a grand selection of cakes, many items locally sourced. Coffee and cake good for a top up whilst wandering the busy markets.

Arrived into leek on what was unfortunately football mayhem day with lots of visiting drunks making lots of noise in all the pubs. This place was our saviour and does amazing panini's, lovely coffee and a personal at table service.

A damp day urged us to seek a warm coffee - but what we found was so much more. A warm welcome, a comfortable place amidst this small deli, shelves stacked with delicious looking bits and bobs, the counter filled with an array of quality cheeses and other things. But, then the amount of the array that is also vegan or veggie friendly - lots and lots of choice. Highly recommended!

What a gem of a deli. My mum and I were abit awkward - we asked for variations of what they had on the boards. The staff were so patient and accommodating. When the good came our eyes lit up! I had a panini which I made up- turkey, pastrami, goats cheese, sun blush tomatoes and Branson pickle. It was unreal. The fillings were FRESH and top quality, DELICIOUS!!! we had a walk around leek and then went back for something sweet. I had the malteaser bun and we had some tea. Very yummy! What blew us away was the price of everything - such good value!! Lunch for two was £13. Two buns and pot of tea for two was £5/6. Will be back, sooner rather than later!!!!!

There's not much open in leek on a regular Sunday morning but there doesn't need to be because pronto has it all. A warm welcome, great coffee and paninis and wonderful deli delights to take home for lunch. Despite all this it was the two staff who made the place for us, they were chatty and informative, going above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience of pronto but also Leek in general. We will be back!!

A regular spot for our business lunch. They have an excellent choice of baps, baguettes and paninis. They also have 2 soups on vegetable or tomato but these are a bit inconsistent in their quality. Hot drinks fine but would avoid hot chocolate as the one I had it was lumpy. Certainly worth a visit as you can have custom butties made which is great if you don't like mayo which 100% of high street sandwiches seem to have by default.

I always enjoy a vist to this quaint jam packed shop filled with all sorts of goodies from bread, fresh sliced meat to yummy cakes. It's also good as a coffee stop whilst shopping in Leek. It always seems to be open, even on Sunday's. One of my favourite visits on my weekly shop.

Good food lots of selection and very very friendly staff... shop full of goodies and well displayed and sensible prices.

We found this little gem by chance killing time between appointments . Guess by now we've been back 20 /30 times . Great food and cakes to die for ,diet I hear no chance . We buy loads of stuff to take to Chester , Try it you'll love it .!!!!!!!!

Stopped in on a rainy October evening, very welcoming, a fantastic selection of fresh food to eat in and take away. Had two of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time there, as well as two very nice cups of hot chocolate. Would definitely be a regular haunt in I lived in the area.

Visited Leek Market for a day and asked somebody to recommend good local business for quick lunch. They recommended Pronto and we were so glad to see the availability of local produce.

Awesome. We didn't know where to go and we stumbled across pronto. It's lovely packed with food you are spoilt for choice.

I love spending time in Pronto, or country cuisine as it used to be called, and when I'm there I just want to eat everything! I especially recommend their hunstman's pies, and their chocolate brownies

We stopped here for lunch - limited seating inside but it was a lovely sunny day and we sat at a table outside. Great to go into a Deli where you are not expected to know what you want before you have looked around. ?Owner? clearly understands GF and was happy to discuss options and make helpful suggestions. My husband had a generously filled baguette (he's not coeliac) and I had a Voakes pie which I'd not come across down South. Care was taken to heat it sufficiently and the lady came and checked it was perfect. It was! Huge choice, would be great to 'build' a picnic here.

A lovely little deli with coffee shop. All the food is delicious and the service tip top. Well worth a visit at least once a week. I'm hard pressed not to call in every day!

Spent a day in leek town centre and went to this eaterie where we found the most delicious cakes. Carrot cake for my wife and coffee and walnut cake for me. DELICIOUS!!!

I've popped into Pronto a few times now and am always dazzled by the selection of goods and foodstuffs for purchase! It's amazing what's crammed into such a small space and the place has even managed to squeeze a couple of cafe tables inside! So far, I've bought snacks from the main counter and it's SO hard to choose! The gourmet sausage rolls are very tasty, as is a traditional pasty that I had last time. Of the many cheeses on offer, I've had the delicious Cheddleton one and also tried the mini Italian desserts, the name of which escapes me!I'll be back to sample more delights from here and chat to the friendly and informed staff.

Brilliant deli and food to go - amazing cakes, paninis, soups etc as well as cold meat, pies and brilliant cheeses!

Called into Pronto for the first time and so glad we did.Ordered a couple of cheese babs and what did we get, probably the best cheese bap in the whole world made with black bomber cheese and extra red onion as requested.The cake was lovely as well, we also took a few items home with us which were equally enjoyable.Pronto is run and staffed by ladies of a certain age who know how to present food and make there costumers feel special, overall a very pleasant place to spend some time.We will be back for a repeat the next time we are in Leek.

Lovely deli with excellent products, plenty of local produce sold. Gift hampers available, take away lunches and coffee etc. lots of foodie gifts

We asked whether they could do a lunch for us inside as the weather was poor and they promptly cleared one of 2 tables for the 4 of us. This is a deli with fabulous fresh rolls and pain is full of interesting fillings that you can choose from. We asked whether they could make up a bowl of olives to go with our rolls and pain is and they promptly did this. Nothing was too much trouble. It is obvious that their main trade is take away as trade was brisk for this whilst we were there.As a drop in this was first lass food and service at ery reasonable prices for quality food. Coffees were very flavoursome.

Dropped in here on a Tuesday for a quick but tasty lunch with my Mum we were exploring Leek and had no idea where to go for lunch, fortunately for us we found Pronto who had lovely friendly staff and we ate beautifully made sandwiches, cakes and coffee sat on the quaint little street watching Leek go by.....I/we will definitely drop in here again.The marinated patty pan squash stuffed with goats cheese were particularly delicious

Pronto is a sort-of-traditional Italian deli in the heart of Leek. They sell a wide range of specialist ingredients including unusual pasta, fine cheeses and cold meats and also have a few tables inside and out for bunch/lunch diners. Their range of cakes is particularly good. Service is a generally very friendly and efficient. Do bear in mind that Proto is very popular and gets very busy around lunchtime so you might be in for a bit of a queue. In my experience, it's worth it though. Way more charm than the generic coffeeshop-chain experience!

We stopped off at Pronto for the first time over the weekend. It's like food heaven with all of the pastries, chutneys, cheeses, cakes etc. We each had a sandwich, coffee and cake whilst sitting outside. It was lovely! The food was fresh, tasty and had a lovely comforting home taste too.

Working in Leek town centre, Pronto is my ideal delicatessen for either a quick bite to eat at lunch, or for a little "pick me up" treat towards the end of the day.If you aren't familiar with Italian foods, including specific meats and cheese cuts, marinated olives and pates etc I would highly recommend you pay a visit and check out the wide selection available for yourselves. Perfect whether brought to accompany your meal, for nibbles at a dinner party or even if you wanted to try something new! The ladies behind the counter are always there to lend a hand and to provide a recommendation and they always serve with a friendly smile. Home made soups, panini's, wraps and pies are also available everyday if you have a savoury bite and fancy a little something on the go. But for me it's all about ordering a coffee, grabbing a slice of cake, sitting outside and watching the world go by. Perfection.

Just called in here to buy bread and some cake. But we were soon seduced by what was on offer. Came away with bread, cakes, pies, olives, pate, cheese etc. Staff lovely and friendly. You can also buy filled rolls and hot drinks from here.What a lovely surprised, we will be back.

After a stroll around Leek we came across Proto, fantastic little deli crammed full of delicious treats from floor to ceiling! We settled on the lemon fudge cake and carrot cake with coffee's, fabulous!If you're in Leek and looking for a delicious treat stop here, we will be back as everything looked great!

A delicatessen with a range of lovely home-made panini and cakes. It's a tight fit inside, but there are tables outside.

Small eatery and Deli with excellent food both for sale and for eating on the premises. We went to Leek for the fine food market and walked around this pretty town looking for somewhere to eat. We found the ,'Pronto', but it was too cold to eat outside and the two tables inside were both occupied. However it looked so enticing that we returned there a little later and managed to bag a table. It was so worth it. I had a meat pie with beetroot and coleslaw and it was very very good. The pie filling had lots of good meat, no gristle and no filling stuff. Just meat and a little gravy. My partner had a cheese pie which was also the bees knees. The service was excellent and very helpful. They couldn't do enough for us. Thoroughly recommended, but you might have wait a bit. Also have a look at the deli things for sale. We are planning a special meal and found some excellent chocolate there, especially blended to match certain wines. Not cheap and certainly not usual for us but for this particular occasion a great and interesting find. A great little deli/eatery.

Pronto is an absolute gem.Love having a panini and cappachinoWatching the world go by.Sandwiches and cakes are delicious.

From nettle cheese an array of pies and many different choices of all types of food in such a great setting

Great place to get the something special.Good selection of continental foods and a few tables to enjoy the atmosphere and coffee. Prices are reasonable and coffee is great.If you want coffee and a bite to eat straight away, best to go on a warm sunny day - most of the tables are pavement cafe.Unique and quirky - you won't be disappointed.

been here several times and staff always so friendly and helpful. good selection of food to eat in or take away and also sell artisan breads and many other deli goods. chicken, brie and cranberry baps with coffee and followed by walnut cake all served with a beaming smile and all very tasty...this is just a small sample of the extensive menu on offer. An excellent place for refreshment and watching the world go by! Really good value for money too.

I go here lots for cake coffee .And gets lots of great treats my husband loves it too.Took my sister now she in love with it to she bought great treats for her and her family Great xmas gifts . Staff so nice and always make time for u and u feel special.

Leek is just getting better and better!I'm currently on a 'Grand Tour' of coffee shops in Leek, killing time whilst my son is at Piano theory on Saturday mornings.Having cruised the Saturday antiques and collectibles market on the Market Place I visited Pronto Delicatessen for the first time. Why have I not been here before??What a fantastic little place. On a quiet traffic free street in Leek, only seconds away from the market place, is Pronto Delicatessen. It has a couple of tables outside and the same inside so quite exclusive!Whilst I was inside enjoying my Espresso, coffee and walnut cake, there was a constant flow of locals and visitors buying lovely looking produce over the counter, Jams, cakes, pastries and Artisan breads.There was a constant and pleasant banter between customer and purchaser which was great to listen to when you're sat in a a coffee shop on your own :-)I will be back and look forward to next Saturday! I think I will try the Carrot Cake next.Staff great, cake choice wonderful, menu choice - can't wait to try, deli stuff available.....extensive for such a sweet little place and beautifully presented.

What a quaint little place! Its like an aladdins cave filled with delicious treats.Mum and I visited whilst in leek for a few hours. We called in for lunch but then ended up buying half the shop too. We had the paninis, made fresh to order and then a big slab of carrot cake after, which may I add was delicious. This was before the purchases of homemade preserves and other sweet treats to take home. Lovely little find. Staff extremely friendly and polite.

Excellent again, although did pay for Florentines and they were not put in my bag but excellent panini's cheeses and balsamic onions

we had a rost beef roll capaccino and tea, absolutely yummy and such a great price, lovely people and great value and atmosphere.

A great choice of absolutely everything and such a varied selection of lovely food. everybody behind the counter was very obliging and the food was fresh and served promptly

Love this little shop, iv been every Sunday for a coffee, sit outside with my dog then take home some tasty grub, love the lamb and leek pie

Chanced upon this delicatessan/cafe on a visit to Leek. Seating outside and inside. Staff lovely, helpful and efficient. Variety of food enormous. Sandwiches, baps, baguettes, meats, cheeses, preserves, desserts. Prices very reasonable. Service quick and with a smile. Definitiely recommend.

As an irregular visitor to Leek, Pronto deli always features on our trips, however normally it's to take away, but for once, we ate in. Always happy to make something specific to you, we opted for bacon baps and burritos. Staff advised on how spicy things were (I like spicy but not too much so!).Of course, this was followed by cake, and there can be few places that rival Pronto for both selection and quality of cake. My personal fave is luscious lemon, with son opting for chocolate fudge. However I know from experience that nothing disappoints here! Great service, can't wait for my next visit....

This is a great place to visit even for just a cup of tea! The food is superb with a great choice for vegetarians! Lovely homemade food and great choice of teas and coffees. There is so much more to the Foxlowe - the arts events are fantastic and there is a varied programme of activities taking place throughout the year!

Great service backed up by first class food and a better cappuccino than the one I had in Venice a couple of weeks ago!There is a fantastic range of cheeses and meats. You could spend a fortune in here!And the buns? Believe me, if you're ever in Leek, get down here and have one with your cuppa!

Pronto is a great deli,lots of choices and very friendly staff, the sandwiches and paninis are very tasty and the cakes are truly scrumptious, add to this the best cappachino in town and you have a hit.If in Leek visit Pronto and get Phloked!!!!!!

There is always lots of choice of everything from bread to cakes, deli items to meats, and all fresh

This is a great little Deli that has many temptations to take home in addition to delicious sandwiches and drinks to eat in the shop or whilst sitting at a table on the street watching the world go by.

I'm surprised at Leeklady 's review of Pronto, visited yesterday and as ever the food was delicious and as ever the service was friendly and efficient, bacon n cheese panini, cappachino and a sunny day so sat outside taking in the buzz of Leek.Excellent shop and very busy, the food is quality and reasonably priced.Bon Appetito

The food at the deli is great, but the service is dire. Most of the time the people are impatient (rude to my elderly dad when he was trying to find the type of bread my mum wanted - not cool) but I always thought that was ok. Went on Sunday when the market event was on, and from the moment I went in, it was made clear that serving me was an inconvenience. The woman behind the counter was too busy chatting to serve me, then when she did, stood for minutes with my change in her hand while she finished her conversation. Had to go to the loo (5 mins walk away) and when I got back my coffee was waiting. Unfortunately, the tables are flimsy and on a sloping pavement - as I sat the table went flying and my coffee spilled before I had taken a sip. I told them, and the focus was all on mopping up - but no one apologised, commiserated or offered me a replacement. When I asked for one, the same woman tried to charge me. The friend I was with was appalled. I am sorry, because I have always found them ok, if not exactly friendly. Not sure if the woman who served me was fed up at being open on a Sunday, but it spoiled the whole experience. If you are going to sit and have a coffee, there are better places in Leek.

stopped for lunch and sat outside in the sunshine. Ate pastrami and balsamic onions on a golden rye bun. Was delicious! also had a coffee which was hot, great as lots of coffee is served luke warm.

A brilliant delicatessen selling the most delicious food, all home or locally made also with some Italian influence as they are part of the restaurant next door...Primo Piano. Take away food and drinks available too, delicious! You can sit out side too. If you're planning a picnic take a basket and get it filled from here, it will be like a banquet

Amazing cakes, pies and just an awesome place for a quick bite. I had the huntsman pie and packed full of meat for £3.30. I had to take away a third of it as it was too big for me to finish. I was trying to make room for the dime cake and I had to take away 2 rocky roads for the journey.

Great choice of deli food - the range is massive! Good for cheese, cake and sandwiches. Nice selection of gift items.

Fab little Italian Deli, with lots of choice for lunch. Lovely selection of sandwiches, salads, cheeses, cakes, olives and lots more. Had the best cheese cake I have ever eaten here its was the three chocolate one. Its is a very popular place with one table inside and a few more outside in the street. lots of people calling in for there home made Italian breads and produce.can't wait to go back, my kind of place!!!Give it a try the next time your in Leek

A gem of a find in the heart of Leek.Authentic Italian deli. Great service , good value for money and comprehensive selection of fine foods. The cooked meats are delicious. The cake selection is top class as is the cheese counter. freshly prepared sandwiches are wonderful!!!!
