The best restaurants serving British food in Leek East Staffordshire Moorlands West Midlands

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.

Wonderful place! Went for a birthday meal with family, food and service was amazing! It was busy but we didn't have to shout to hear eachother. Food was done perfectly and arrived fairly quickly, 100% would recommend to friends and will definitely be returning soon.

A beautiful day matched by a fantastic Lunch! We chose the Sharing Platter and what a treat. Chicken Parfait, Warmed Sausage rolls, Ham off the bone, boiled eggs (still with a runny yoke) Salad, Cheddar and Stilton cheese Chutney and homemade Picallili accompanied by a bowl of triple cooked chops!!! A truly memorable meal overseen by Eden who was a credit to the Restaurant.

One of the best pubs in leek. Great beer, excellent staff and always have good live entertainment

Lovely pub good food and dog friendly

Amazing pub. The food is out of this world a real gem of a place.

Went for lunch and it was very disappointing. My wife ordered what was described as authentic Asian street noodles and it was truly dreadful. Served in what could only be described as a cheap breakfast cereal bowl it was over salted, tasteless noodles with hardly any vegetables or other ingredients except some rather unappetising pieces of egg on top. We love Asian food but this was appalling. My wife teaches Food Technology in secondary school and most of her year 7's could produce something better than this. I had steak pie with veg and chips which was a mixed bag. The pie filling was good but the pastry was overcooked and the huge mound of vegetables, although not overcooked, were tasteless. The chips were OK but the overall experience was a let down. I also went to the bar to order a wheat beer for my wife. The barman said that they didn't stock wheat beer and it didn't seem to be popular in these parts. I told my wife it would probably be better if she went and chose something herself and surprise, surprise she returned with a wheat beer complete with a slice of orange which the barman informed her was how it was normally served? Won't be coming back again.

Love Monty’s!!! I do wish the chicken curry and chips were a permanent menu item though!! But I haven’t visited in a while so maybe it’s been reintroduced. Keep up the good work.

What a little gem. Lovely club sandwich, stew, chips and coffees. Simple food done well. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you.

Called in for a drink here before going to eat after football, the building is a lovely old building, drinks choice wasn't great, the woman behind the bar was friendly as were a couple of the locals. Speaking of which, it did seem to be a kind of a local hangout for the locals, one or two seemed a bit odd.
