“No longer sells food. Staff told us next closest decent food place, but they don't have access to update the website. Looked like a great pub regardless.”

“Brilliant! The old pub has been put back to its old state and as an interior designer of old! Recommended people visit! Lovely atmosphere and sociable staff X”

“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.”

“Wow wow wow. The best bacon and egg sandwich I have ever had. Coffee stunning. Wow wow wow. Reyt way to start day off.”

“Great service and really tasty food at a reasonable price. Nice local beers too. We would definitely recommend a visit and we'll certainly be returning.”

“We were on the lookout for a spontaneous dinner and drinks spot and were pleased to stumble upon The House of the Rising Sun. From the moment we arrived, the customer service stood out—they made sure we were accommodated even though we didn’t have a reservation. Since it was a last-minute night out, we ended up seated at the high chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re dressed up (like in a tight shirt dress). The interior design is impressive—stylish and atmospheric, though a little too dim for dining. It feels more like a place that’s tailored for drinks and conversation. One standout feature is the bar with its aquarium-style backsplash—absolutely eye-catching. We tried the Teriyaki Beef and Chicken Katsu. The katsu was excellent—crispy, flavorful, and definitely best enjoyed with rice. The beef, on the other hand, was slightly chewy and not as tender as expected. For drinks, we had the classic Mojito and their signature cocktail, Land of Smiles. The latter was a highlight—refreshing with a unique spicy kick that really elevated the experience. Overall, The House of the Rising Sun is a lovely spot for a date night, especially if you’re after a cozy ambiance and creative cocktails. We’d definitely go back—hopefully with a reservation next time!”

“I took my mum for a festive afternoon tea, its was so good! Lovely staff and the scones were amazing! Best turkey Sandwhiches I've had in years!”

“Very good food and amazing service. Will be back if in the area”

“Excellent meals with a good variety of options to meet dietary needs/preferences, quality drinks with a terrific atmosphere and excellent customer service from the friendly staff. Would definitely recommend dining here. Thanks a lot.”

“Food is always impeccable, service is great and the staff are lovely, always come for brunch and coffee”

“We wish we had a place like this nearer to us! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and had such lovely service. Highly recommend!”

“Couldn't believe the quality of the food for the price, 2-12 on the menu. Very welcoming staff too. Nice and quiet.”

“Comprehensive brunch menu. Well cooked, lovely polite and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, not cheap but you get what you pay for a quality well cooked meal. Thank you.”

“Food is lovely. Pies divine. Thanks for a lovely evening.”

“We recently visited while staying over at Alton Towers and didnt want to eat the mass produced food so went here as its quite local and had decent reviews. We were not disappointed with our choice either, what a fabulous little place! The pub part was busy, but service was quick and there was a nice range of local craft ales. The Thai food was fabulous, one of the best red curries I've had for a long time and the family were all pleased with their choices too. Definitely would recommended if your staying in the area, it's well worth a visit.”

“Just started using this chippy and it's brill. Best around. Food is fantastic and so is the service. Service with a smile. We have more local chip shops to us in Trentham but it's really worth driving a bit further to Oakhill. Great chippy!!!”

“Really friendly pub - I was supposed to be meeting someone nearby who was late so went in to get a coffee because I was driving. Really good atmosphere all round.”

“Came here for lunch and had delicious food. I had a regular size (which was a decent size) pizza Arriba, which was delicious! The dough is fantastic, I like a doughy pizza and this one delivered on that. The toppings were really generous, too. I did ask to change the chorizo to nduja, which was kindly done for me, although after ordering and paying, I was then told there were no peppers available. Not a biggie, but I think it's fair to be told things like that before paying. My wife went for the Mancini pasta, which she said was also delicious. Especially the mushrooms in the dish. I tried one and agreed that the flavours were incredible. They taken on the flavours of the chorizo and were just so moreish! She said it was only warm, though, and could have done with being a bit hotter. The drinks we ordered they didn't have in stock, and I got the impression they maybe don't stock what's on the menu as they had other beers (although they didn't have it available to buy, just had one on display) and wines that weren't on the menu, which again isn't a biggie, but a little strange. The staff were friendly. We paid just over 32.50 for the pizza, pasta, glass of wine, and a beer, which we felt was fair, especially as the food was so nice. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would go back again.”

“We stopped in today after work to try the ‘mother clucker’ chicken burger (I’ve been dying to try it since its release) and boy, it did not dissapoint!!! Best burger I’ve had in a very long time!”

“Had my first takeaway from here last night. Excellent service and delicious food. I cannot rate the atmosphere as I have not visited as yet. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to all the staff.”

“Walked it after a long day at work, they did an excellent pint of Bass, of which I had 2 pints. Some local people we got talking too were very friendly, will definitely be going in again.”

“We turned up without a reservation but they managed to squeeze us in. A restaurant with plenty of ‘bling’ factor, the service was attentive and the food excellent!”

“Been I the peel for the first time since the new owners have taken over and they have done a amazing job of the pub. The new owners have given the pub a much needed paint and a good clean and they have put a lovely patio in the beer garden. The toilet seemed new and very clean. They really seem to be trying really hard with the place. They had a BBQ on today which I found to be a great idea and really do hope that the pub goes from strength to strength”

“Really delicious food in generous portion. We ordered seafood paradedelle (pasta), marinated sea bream with fried calamari and ragout potatoes, and kid’s chicken with rice. We will definitely come back again! :)”

“Very good food and big portion! They let you change the curry on the set menu”

“The Treasure Horse holds a special place in my heart as a beloved Chinese takeout spot that also offers delicious English fish and chips. I've been a patron of this establishment since my childhood, and it has consistently delivered on quality and value. One of the standout features of The Treasure Horse is its great lunchtime meal deals, which offer excellent value for money. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous, ensuring a satisfying meal every time. While the staff may not be overly chatty with me personally, they are always concise and efficient in their service. It's evident that they are often busy, which speaks to the popularity of the establishment. I appreciate the family-run atmosphere, which adds a warm and welcoming touch to the dining experience. Whenever I'm not dining at The Treasure Horse, I often notice a steady stream of customers, indicating its popularity within the community. Convenient street parking nearby makes it easy to access, further adding to its appeal. In conclusion, The Treasure Horse is a cherished local spot offering delicious food, reasonable prices, and efficient service. Whether you're craving Chinese cuisine or classic fish and chips, it's sure to satisfy your appetite.”

“We drove past this place million times and never noticed it untill today. We were really surprised how lovely the place look (despite rundown neighbourhood). The building looks lovely both inside and outside. Jacket potato and the sandwich was really tasty”
