Institute in Leek

“The team at the Maude Institute stepped in when the Leek Jubilee Party in the Park was cancelled due to the weather. The venue and staff worked tirelessly to help pull off a memorable day! Amazing volunteers, great venue, fabulous music from Hunter, The Sixties Survivors, White Knuckle Ride, Unlucky Strike and a wonderful chance to meet old friends from Hunter, Demon and Climax Blues Band.”

“A beautiful little Place right in the heart of Leek. Easy booking and check in process. We was given codes for entry/access to our accommodation when tea rooms are closed. Plenty of parking locally, reasonably cheap and free after 15.30 on Saturday and free all day Sunday. We found our room very clean and was provided everything for a lovely stay. Bed was comfortable, towels good quality and complimentary showering miniatures. Only slight issue was the TV signal wasn't great, channels not watchable but not a big issue. Staff were all helpful and welcoming in the cosy tea room. We ordered breakfast which was very nice and was pleasantly surprised when told it was in with the cost of the room as we was unaware, nice bonus. Overall we had a lovely pleasant stay and will definitely return. We have since found out they have dog friendly rooms so will be back with our little one.”

“I started to use this Co op store regularly now on my way to and from work. It’s a really nice Co op and the staff are really helpful and pleasant. I popped in on Saturday and a young man on the checkout was so helpful and kind all with a lovely smile his name was Shaun. Keep up the great work. Well done ✅. Yet another impressive visit. Josh incredible helpful. I needed goats milk. He directed me straight to it and even jumped on to a checked to get the queue down afterwards. Thank you Josh and Sophia Well done and keep up the great work”

“Leek is a great town, and offers a more relaxed approach shopping that retail parks don't have, with an even greater choice of shops and cafes for you to visit. On this visit we went into the local library, and what a really nice surprise it gave us. Not only is the building a fantastic example of architecture long forgotten, but it also housed some great little surprises. It has a library, a small museum, a bit of an art gallery, and a small gift shop, the gift shop having some great bargains. This really is a place that anyone visiting needs to see, to which I'm sure you'll love what you see.”

“Nick took me and a friend on a trad climbing learn to lead course last weekend, we had an awesome time. The course was focussed on learning different principles and systems we could apply for gear placement, anchors and problem solving to apply in a wide range of situations and make our own assessment of safety/risk.”

“Popped in for a quick drink with a friend. Lovely place, very cozy! Sadly didn't eat there, but looking forward to returning when I'm next in the area.”

“first time visited, arrrived 1:50pm on Wednesday, all desserts are £5 only. the service was good and the food that we ordered were tasty. buffalo chicken wings almost charged £1 per wing. the confit belly pork, steak pie and sea baa were delicious. both crumbles and sticky toffee pudding with custard were values for money (£5 per dessert on wednesday)”

“Rudyard Lake is a beautiful spot for a walk or a paddle. The scenery is calm and picturesque, and there’s a good mix of trails for different energy levels. A lovely place to spend a few hours outdoors away from the busy towns.”

“We celebrated a birthday here, a party of 11 people. The food was lovely, early bird menu was great value and the staff were delightful and really made the celebration special!! Would definitely recommend!”

“Very professional and reliable company. Excellent friendly staff. All trips are well organised with lovely hotels and interesting places to visit. Can highly recommend.”

“A really cool place. Totally unexpected!”

“Nice comfortable pub with a large selection of Titanic Brewery ales (brewed down the road in Stoke), plus a couple of guest ales. Had the Totally Leek Burger which was just £7.95 for a very tasty burger garnished with cheese, bacon and salad, along with fries and onion rings - all sourced as locally as possible. A modest portion but really good quality and perfect for lunch.”

“Walked in to a warm, welcoming , pizza smell. Shared olives to start and it was a very generous portion with lovely salted bread and olive oil. Had already ordered a pizza each which was delicious but very filling. Brought a doggy bag home. Staff were attentive and pleasant. The only down side was there wasn't a wine list and we ended up paying heavily for the drinks. Will definitely book again.”
