Sainsbury's cafe in Staffordshire Moorlands - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went for breakfast, coffee machine broken so ended up with a cup of Tea Ordered 2 breakfasts and nice but helpings are getting smaller every time we go. Cake slices have gone very stingy and not much filling. But the carry on charging the same if not more. Did a bit of store shopping but prices high so shopping limited. Disappointed that this store have no charging facilities for electric cars etc. I cannot believe that we are in the year 2024 where Sainsbury's is advertising renewable energy and doing it's bit contributing towards saving the planet. But WHY has it not got EV Charging point a massive store with no facility to charge your cars.i fing This not only unbelievable but disgusting that a super sized store that been built a few years ago and would have had plenty of time to install chargers. I think I'll be shopping at Morrisons in leek at least they have chargers

Awful .... just awful ..... had brie and cranberry baguette .... absolutely disgusting and vastly overpriced at £5 !! Will not be back anytime soon.

I visited this cafe whilst taking my mum for breakfast, what a mistake that was. We had to send the breakfast back as the eggs were undercooked and gelatinous. When the replacements arrived the eggs were hard and rubbery, the toast was damp, the mushroom resembled roadkill and the sausages belong in a bin. Avoid this place if you want quality food.

Popped to have a snack, but opted for full English and my sister had sausage and chips. When it came it was warm - ish! Egg was more than over easy! And both our meals soon went cold. Not at all appetising. Won't be going for an encore!

We had two tea cakes that were cold and not cooked properly along with rock hard cold butter packs, a latte that tasted stale and a mug of tea with the teabag in and no teaspoon. Very disappointing I used to enjoy this cafe.

Ordered all day breakfast, ham egg and chips and fish and chips. The food was served very quickly but it was appalling, the eggs in the breakfast and my meal were cold and rubbery, the batter on the wish was really hard, the ham was fatty, the only good thing about the meal was the tea. Disgraceful. Sainsbury’s are certainly going down hill.

rude and unfriendly to describe the staff is an understatement! avoid at all costs! never felt so uncomfortable in a supermarket- especially from the manager! will not be returning.

After a hefty shopping spree around Leek ready for Christmas, we finished at Sainsburys, so as to relax and admire the view over towards the Roaches up the Churnet Valley. We had been about a week before and we weren't exactly impressed with the service and standard of food, but we both were in dire need of some food and a drink and thought we'd give them the benefit of the doubt. We both opted for a baguette - mine was beef and the wife's was a Christmas baguette I believe it was called (don't quote me), with turkey and stuffing etc.To cut a long story short, we will not dine their again or have a drink for that matter, as the service was appalling and although we asked whether the gravy came in a little jug, and were informed it does, we both got it poured all over our baguettes, and the wife's came with no stuffing or trimmings. And, the time it took for her to actually get the food ordered was shocking - what with insufficient staff, and staff that did not know what they doing, confusion etc etc!! The pots of tea were fine! NB: we both mentioned the missing items and gravy issue to the young lad who served us but decided to keep what we had as were were so hungry and had waited long enough, but had the missed items delivered a bit later. It used to be so nice, great food, good portions at a fare price and in a nice environment, but sadly it had deteriorated badly, and the words of the young manager(?) who the wife spoke in regards to our issues were not at all reassuring. He basically blamed it on the lack of staff, and made not a whisper of a way to make amends!! A great shame!

called in for lunch no one behind the counter waited for quite a few minutes before someone who was just coming on duty who was still in his coat asked if anyone had taken our orders when we said no he went straight into the kitchen and one of the girls took our order the table we ate at was in a good need of wiping down,the food was terrible when it arrived (I have to say we have eaten many times here but this was the worst food and service)

Called in today for a drink and something to eat around lunchtime with my daughter. Cued for a good 10 to 15 mins. Poor girl on the counter on her own taking orders and sorting drinks. Just as I got to the till there appeared to be a problem with the toilets so no hot food orders were being taken. Poor girl was mithered to death. Trays were building up in trolley and tables weren't that clean. Come on management it needs sorting instead of leaving it to young girls to run.

Just an average Sainsbury's cafe. It seems to me that all the Sainsbury's cafes I have been in are very slow to serve. Food and coffee ok when it finally arrives.

Lovelt view from the cafe over 2 ponds. Coffe was lovely, but the tables could do with wiping down more regularly. There is a self-clean place for trys etc, but most people don't seem to us it.

We called In for coffee with in laws, service was absolutely awful. Wouldn’t want to mention ladies name but she was dreadful. Lovely lady but way too slow for a cafe. We stood behind someone she new and she stood there ages talking about one thing of another, then after so long then decided to order and still talking. No consideration to those waiting. It was very painful. She seems to do this every time we there. The queue was endless. Just a coffee can take to long. We now go to Morrison’s instead.

Fairly good breakfast but the service was haphazard and very slow. Witnessed waitress delivery to wrong tables and very slow see ing coffees etc.

Called in for a quick coffee. Service slow and staff not particularly interested in their work. Nice view from the cafe is the best reason for a 2 review. Don’t think I will be returning

Been here a few times over the last year when visiting an elderly relative close by. Handy place for a pit stop, just out of town, easy free parking. It can get quite busy and sometimes tables not cleared (self service clearing) also resulting in dirty tables. Staff usually seem quite friendly and helpful, but quite a busy place for staff it seems. Just had a coffee on this occasion. Good value food and drink.

Very hit and miss seems it's down to witch staff are Working some staff very good and some not It's seems to be same with the food

This cafe might be thought to be s standard supermarket cafe- and it is on many ways, main criticism being that because it is so popular at busy times feels cramped for space.

Me and my brother visited the Sainsbury's Cafe in Leek on September the 15th for breakfast.

Been coming to this cafe for two years, menu changes no curry!

The views from the Café are beautiful and the staff extremely helpful. Unfortunately at 2.00pm on a Saturday afternoon, there was very little left. Having requested 4 items on the menu, all were 'sold out'. When we were served, food wasn't hot and bland. Very disappointed. The Café in Sainsburys. Biddulph is much better. Next time we will use the pub next to the supermarket.

Lovely views over the fields towards the Abbey and good coffee here. They make if to order unlike some supermarket cafe's

Been a few times over the last few months when visiting a relative in Leek. Staff were really helpful when ordering on a couple of occasions as we needed something special due to temporary dietary issues.

Called in whilst shopping for a quick lunch. Always been a little sceptical about store cafes and we have been to some other Sainsburys that have not been good. What a pleasant surprise then to find the food was hot fresh and tasty. Fish and chips went down a treat, Batter very crispy and fish was cooked well and hot.

My third review which I felt compelled to write having just had Christmas lunches there today (29.11.17). Excellent service at the till and to table and yes, the view is living up to its very special appeal with Autumn colours.

I went to Sainsbury's café for some lunch and was amazed. The service was amazing the food was outstanding and the cleanliness was also brilliant. I really can't complain.

Usual supermarket cafe menu but what a view!! Upstairs cafe overlooking the rolling Staffordshire countryside.

Mi marido y yo nos detuvimos para un sándwich rápido desayuno y también nuestra sorpresa era absolutamente encantador

Same as any Other Sainsburys cafe for choice and options. Really nice and pleasant staff offering prompt service on what was a very busy lunchtime. Can't really fault it for what it is.

Great cafe. Lovely views of the countryside. The staff are always friendly. Gets very busy at peak times. Food is always nice and not too expensive.

Sainsbury's has one of the best sites in Leek- spacious car parking spaces, and plenty of it. Friendly staff serve from a limited menu with warmth and friendliness. Open till 7 pm on weekdays too.

We eat here every week sometimes on more than one occasion. The food is gorgeous always the same standard. We see many regular faces in the cafe so this must tell you they are doing something right. A lot of restaurants couldn't compete with the quality of the food and service here. Leek Sainsburys is excellent. We can recommend the fish and chips and butternut squash lasagne but whatever you have its served to a high standards and is lovely and the staff are so friendly and helpful they go out of their way to make sure you get good service and if you need the menu to be adapted they will do this for you without any fuss something the Hanley branch should take on board !! The manager leads this fantastic team by example. You won't be disappointed. Well done to all the amazing staff at sainsburys leek you are amazing.

Stopped for coffee and biscuits. Staff were helpful and efficient, food and drinks were good.

Five of us were feeling very hungry and visited the sainsburys cafe in leek , The main courses ranged from £4.75 to £5.40 and we all had different items but all were of a fantastic quality for the price and every plate was completely cleaned up , not because there was little food as the plates were well filled it was because we all enjoyed it so !!!

We visited this store every week as a treat We have been going since the store opened and have tried many places for cooked breakfast , for value for money , taste , and variety of food on the breakfast , and we can fully recommend sainsburys in leek , excellent in every aspect , well done to you all who work there in the cafe .

Called in here, and found it was up to the usual Sainsbury's high standards. The food was nice, and the service was good. I would definitely return.

Great place for a bite to eat before doing the weekly shop! Very often go to meet friends for a coffee & cake or lunch. Great food options & friendly staff too. Never rushed when we are finished!

Called in just before cafe closed.Served promptly and scone warmed as requested.Attentive young man served us (David I think). Polite and took the trouble to replace the ice cold cups from the chiller display with warm ones so our tea would not go cold too quickly.We were not rushed out.Clean environment and great views of some lovely Leek countryside from the elevated position in this cafe.

I go here with my mum when I cant be bothered to cook as the food is lovely. I know that the menu is always the same but there is enough choice on the menu to have a bit of variety. The omelettes are fab, I have with a salad and order a portion of children's chips too. The staff come and bring to the table with condiments, then they return a bit later to ask how the meal is (really wanting to take back the sauces), but nice touch anyway. Staff are very friendly. If you like your cuppa strong, ask for an extra tea bag (charge of 15p). They did not use to charge, but after going into the Sainsbury cafe near Stockport and being charged, I had a moan and said 'Denton don't charge you'-----the staff there must have phoned through to Denton and told them they should be charging!! LOL Oh and they open till around 7.30pm !!!

We both had fish chips and peas...delicious at £5 each. Service pleasant and courteous. But the damned music drowning out conversation and ruining, for me the whole experience.Highly recommend the whole dining, shopping and cheap fuel thing, but be prepared to lip-read.Sainsbury's manager, if you read these - lose the background music or turn it down a lot please.

One of the best Sainsbury cafe been.May be as its new but the staff were friendly and helpful. Food was nice and came quickly.Would visit again.

Standard Sainsbury's fare food-wise but it's the staff and view that make this cafe worth a visit. The young man who served me couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful and made a really lovely cup of hot chocolate. It was then time to find a comfy seat and make the most of the view - who'd have thought that you'd get a treat like this on the first floor of a supermarket?

Great range of meals and drinks at a bargain price, can be busy and noisy. Good coffee and I recommned the fry-up!

I have visited various times now whilst passing through as prefer Leek Sainsbury's to my local one. I have been into the cafe on a few occasions, whilst your standard supermarket cafe the staff are great, always attentive to any needs and nothing is too much of a problem for them. The service was fantastic and quick, and the latte I had was made extra special with a leaf pattern on the top, something I will remember as it is unique and I haven't seen this before. Will definitely recommend to anyone as I have never had bad food or coffee and the view on a nice day is just simply stunning.

This cafe serves great coffee and food the menu is typical supermarket good choice clean and the staff are very friendly . It's nice to just sit with a coffee and admire the view

We have called here a number of times and this place is ok on value, easy on the eye with the view but all in all its a supermarket cafe so don't go expecting anything other than the standard menu of one. It serves the purpose well and the staff have mostly been good, I have called a couple of times and it must have been on of those days for a couple of them. All in all there are better places to dine out in leek but if you are shopping and just want a quick bite, you could do worse.

This cafe is situated upstairs and can be accessed via a lift.The food and drink on offer is straight forward cafe fare that you might expect in a supermarket cafe. The staff are friendly and cheery and the place has a generally good feel. A bonus is the view out over the fields which must be one of the best from any Sainsbury's, or for that matter any supermarket at all.My only complaint is that I feel that the tables could be kept a little cleaner. Apart from taking away 'the empties' the table tops can also be a little sticky in places. So top tip is to pick up enough napkins to clean it yourself.

Supermarket cafes are often a convenient place for a bite to eat. The menu choices and the standard of food here is really no better and no worse than many other such establishments. All quite acceptable, but not exceptional.What makes Sainsbury's stand out for us in the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. It is a delight to be there and to be treated like a valued customer for whom nothing is too much trouble. We visit every couple of months and it is always the same even though we do not always see the same staff.These ladies and gents deserve a bonus!

The café is always clean and the food displays inviting. the views from the windows encourage you to stay longer and the café is spacious with a range of seating. The staff always attentive when serving but occasionally not to quick to clean the tables. I have only been for coffee and snacks and always well presented and service really good

We enjoy adding the café to our Leek shopping visits (travel 25 miles to get there). The place is always clean, the choices are enough not to baffle, the prices are very reasonable. The big plus is the view of the Peak District hills, beyond the very ample car park. See photo. Only niggle - no Vodafone signal (not of course Sainsbury's fault) and no wi-fi, which Customer Services assured me is rolling out nationwide very soon.

Nice food for a supermarket restaurant.Always clean and tidy. Seating is nice and the views over the local area (at the moment) are nice - this might change when the new build is completed... shame its another eatery

Standard quick fare. Reasonable service. Clean and tidy. Helpful staff. Convenient for a drink and bite after shopping.

This is the best Sainsbury's restaurant I have visited. As a local, it's my first choice for coffee, lunch, and supper. The views across the countryside are amazing. Food is freshly cooked, prepared to order and brought to table in a reasonable time, at supermarket competitive prices. At busy times the queue for the hot drinks and till may be slower. The staff are always, helpful, well - informed and friendly. My favourite place for Saturday breakfast or coffee.

This café on the first floor of a supermarket has an unusually good view of farmland and countryside. The cakes are above average for a Sainsbury's. main course choices appear to be normal.
