About Ye Olde Rock Inn

Ye Olde Rock Inn is a family-owned pub on Old Buxton Road in Leek, where steak is served on a volcanic rock. The kitchen cooks home-made pub food, including a beef and Stilton pie, and desserts are made in house, with a toffee pudding among them. The bar pours local and national cask ales alongside draught lagers such as Hawkstone, and fresh coffee is available too. An extension room at the back follows the cottage style of the old building, and a private dining room suits groups. Dogs are welcome, and the pub sits near walking routes, so walkers often stop in after a hike. A car park close to those routes is nearby.

Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast draws the most praise, with diners describing beef that was perfectly cooked and melted like butter, and a roast that arrived well cooked and hot. Desserts made in house follow close behind, and the toffee pudding is singled out as really good. Other dishes named include the beef and Stilton pie, the sausage sandwich, and the steak on volcanic rock, which one couple booked a table for straight after seeing it on the menu. Many visitors arrive after a hike, often with a dog, and mention a great atmosphere and a choice of draft lagers, including Hawkstone. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, polite and helpful, bringing food and drinks without any bother. Several guests say they will return, and one pair booked another visit before leaving. Walkers also recall a bowl of water brought out for the dog and water bottles refilled before they set off again.

    “We called in after going for a walk with the dog that we drove out for. We ain’t heard of the pub before so decided to give it ago. Both me and the wife were very happy with meal drink and service and would highly recommend and booked another visit before leaving. Thanks again The Smiths”

    “First visit at lunchtime on a Saturday with my hubby. Managed to fit us in, in the extension area - beautiful room on the back of the pub. Exceptionally clean. Beautifully decorated, in keeping with the cottage style of yhe old pub. Staff were spot on - not harassing us at all, they seemed to sweep in and out with our drinks and food, with no mither at all. Staff are a real credit to the place 👏. Delicious, hot, fresh food. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend 👌”

    “We booked a stay near by and had a look to see where we could eat and found this place. We looked at the menu and saw the steak on the volcanic rock and booked a table straightaway. We been looking forward to coming for 5 weeks and we were not disappointed one little bit. All the staff were polite and pleasant and the food was fantastic. We have already looked at dates we can get back, just wish we lived closer. Great pub great stuff awesome food.”
