The best restaurants in Leek East Staffordshire Moorlands West Midlands

We used to eat at this pub before it closed and was sold, so we were expecting similar high standards from the new owners - but we were disappointed. Saturday evening was busy, with the staff being fully occupied. Starters were good (ham hock and goats cheese) but the ribeye steaks were poor quality meat and were very under-cooked (had to send both of them back for a second spell on the grill). The chips were unusual, like mashed potato inside a crispy coating. Anyway, at £150 for four people, I didn't think it was good value for money.

We went for the first time on Saturday and the food was excellent and the host very pleasant and informative. We are looking forward to returning soon.

I attended the 'Basic Breads Course' on 13th October facilited by the ultimate bread making wizards, otherwise known as Garry and Matt! I had never previously baked (anything) and my recent retirement invited the opportunity to do something very much out of my comfort zone. It's difficult to adequately summarise a most informative, hugely rewarding and highly enjoyable day, other than to say that because of their knowledge, patience, and infectious passion for artisan bread making ... I left having made three loaves which have awakend my taste buds permanently to what bread can, and should, taste like!! The entire day was pitched to be inclusive of a range of abilities, and the small group (9 in total) allowed for much humour and a mutually supportive vibe that made for a memorable day. The lunch ticked every box and reflected that the cafe, and breads etc. sold by the shop, are on another level. I certainly never anticipated becoming a bread making enthusiast at 65! Simply brilliant.

Looks a little rough outside but the food was epic! Just a shame we're only visiting the area but we would absolutely strongly recommend!

I had a lovely flat white here today. Creamy from the first sip to the last. The cafe was cosy and welcoming and the staff really friendly. Looking forward to my next visit.

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.

My word! I don't often have fish and chips, maybe on a seaside holiday or nick a few chips off the kids, however, how I have never come to this takeaway before and in my opinion it blows 90% of the others out of the water. Friendly and accommodating staff, swift service and beautifully fresh, well cooked fish and for me, perfect chips. The cheeky little sausage in batter I added for a later snack was delicious too, batter still had a crunch not gone soggy. I will definitely be going again soon to try more delights, the smell of the curry sauce was almost intoxicating, what a gem on Fountain street, think the locals have been keeping this quiet! Bravo.

The best pub in Leek! And Leek has a lot of pubs! We’ve come up for a wedding and have made it a mission to sample as many as we can but we have hit the peek at the Cattle Market. If you’re in Leek and looking for a pint go to the Cattle Market! The best pint of Guiness I’ve had since Ireland!

We were staying over in Leek on a Sunday evening, wanting to sample some Staffordshire oatcakes the following morning, but the oatcake shop we wanted was closed on Monday! Poor planning. But luckily this place was open at 7.30 am and we found what we wanted here: oatcakes with various fillings such as bacon or tomato; all with cheese. If you've not tried them, Staffordshire oatcakes are very different to the Scottish biscuit that most people associate with 'oatcakes'. Here, they are a soft, flexible wrapper like a pancake, or perhaps a chapatti, made from a thin layer of a yeasted oatmeal/wheat batter griddled until it sets, then wrapped around your chosen filling. We took a pair of oatcakes with cheese and bacon, and a full English of 2 eggs, 2-3 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 toast, beans and tomatoes, plus extra hash browns. This was all in a takeaway tray - there is no table service here. It took about 10 minutes, which is fair enough as everything is cooked to order; but we were the only customers at that time. I imagine at busy times there could be quite a wait. The food was excellent, piping hot as you'd expect with it being cooked to order; and good value too, under £10 for the 2 breakfasts described above, though coffees added a bit more. Highly recommended.
