   Unassuming from the outside but don't be fooled. This is in the top 3 pubs in Leek along with The Blue Mugge & The Fountain. Really good pint of Bass from an excellent enthusiastic Landlady. Really clean, effective fairy lights, good pictures, spacious beer garden & pool room plus a well to look at! A large clientele of regular locals & dogs says it all.

   The crisps were wonderful. But the service and atmosphere are infinitely better. There is something extra about 'The Union', or BENKS, as it was always known as to the discerning drinkers of Leek and beyond. Yes. I am old enough to remember those halcyon days! With the jukebox in the red room playing all things rock, from Alice Cooper to Zeppelin (of the Led variety) and on to Dean Martin singing 'Little Old Wine Drinking Me' - a classic singalong end to each and every glorious night in Benks! Join us now for a seriously well kept pint of ale, a game of darts, an 8 ball in the top pocket or just a friendly chat, whilst listening to live music.

   One of the best from a slowly dying breed of real ale pubs. Sarah does a great job here. Well kept beer and well run pub.

   Always a warm welcome and efficient service. Good range of well kept ales, from a cellar that keeps you coming back for more. Traditional pub games of darts and pool, but with a friendly flavour. This historic pub, with it's own well, has been a firm favourite with the people of Leek and it's surroundings for many years. In the summer, the beer garden comes into it's own and gives scope for a greater range of enjoyment! Try it once and you will return again and again.

   Super, traditional pub. Great choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic cold beverages, all well kept and perfectly presented. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and owners. Brilliant pub sports facilities, 2 pay pool tables and at least 4 dart boards, all well maintained and populated with lots of good teams. Catering available for parties, which is always great. Some sports shown on unobtrusive TV and not 24/7. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.
