Had a wonderful dinner date here Sunday night. Service was great and food served fast. This definitely didn't compromise on quality as we thoroughly enjoyed every item we ordered. The steak was juicy and well cooked, I highly recommend the mac n cheese! Atmosphere was cosy and the drinks menu had a great selection of wines to fit the menu. 100% worth a visit if you're in or around Leek!

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven...!! We arrived at the front entrance which leads you into the tap house... Omg what a selection of ales.!! I did contemplate staying here all night. Upstairs the restaurant is stunning, maintaining all of the original features of this historic building. The staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. As for the food well what can I say, it was stunning.! My wife and I shared the platter and there wasn't much left. Our daughters both had a burger which looked really good. The best though was the Bbq chicken wings, simply stunning
Overall this place is a must visit smokehouse in Leek, we all can't wait to come back again.

Amazing place with Live music and amazing food. The portions are really good, the staffs are very humble and polite, and make you feel welcomed. The restaurant is located inside a historical building, which is a nice feeling if you are interested in history, so its food to read about the place before visiting, and feel the history when you arrive there. Located in quite a nice neighbourhood as well, so you have lot of parking spots available nearby, and also lot of other restaurants which you can hop.

The ground floor has the bar, where there is live music as well, the day we visited we had a all girl band, and they were amazing. The first floor has the restaurant.

Food wise everything was quite nice, except for Mac and Cheese which literally had no flavour.

Decided to book here as we were in Leek looking after our sons cat whist he was away for the weekend. We had noticed this place when passing on previous occasions and was tempted by the look of it.

Really pleased to find it had a great selection of real ale, the menu was good, the food and the service was good. The bar area was a little quiet but considering the price of things at the moment that's not surprising. That is by no means a negative towards this restaurant/ bar as the prices are reasonable.
I had the half rack of ribs which was plenty for me, my wife had the black and blue burger which has black pudding in it and she absolutely loved it.
I drank the old mill beer, my wife had a cherry flavour beer and then an orange flavour one and really enjoyed both (she likes the fruit flavoured ones)
Overall I really liked this place, pleasant staff, good food, great choice of beer. Not much more you can ask for.
Keep up the good work and we've recommended you to family and friends already.

Outstanding is the only word I'd use to describe the food here!!
We went on a Sunday and it was pretty quiet, apparently much busier on other days. Starters were Burnt ends and Piri chicken, both delicious (no photos as too eager to eat!) Mains we had BBQ smokehouse Burger which my partner stated was the best meal he's had in years! I had the Beef Brisket which was divine, great portions, extremely well cooked, wonderful sauce and perfect chips!
The building itself is quirky and super cool! The wine selection was great and there looked to be a big selection of craft ale too.
Service was also fab, we'll be back again for sure!

Unbelievably high quality food, fantastic drinks and very friendly staff all knowledgeable about the menu.

Came here on a date night and will definitely be back. The food is very well prepared but there was very little waiting time. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Had to check this place out because of the raving reviews I've seen on here already. Unfortunately i was a quite disappointed. We had the sharer starter which was excellent i must admit. My main (Bbq smokehouse burger) was okay, not much cheese and not much sauce made it a quite bland. Chips are bang average. Service was fast but lifeless.

My main complaint is that we asked for the bill and waited 15 minutes for it despite the waitress standing around not doing anything else. 20 minutes after that (and countless yawns and checking of the watch to give the hint) we gave up waiting for a card machine and just walked up to the till point. When I ask for the bill it means im ready to leave, not wait another half an hour!!!
