The Wilkes Head, Leek

I like to pop into this friendly local pub while in Leek, and it was great chatting with the barman and locals. Multi roomed and music held often. The outside area at the back has a stage. Good choice of their Whim beer range and we enjoyed Whim's Flower Power and the guest beer from Raw brewery. They have real cider too, and a good jukebox. There were notices on the wall of famous people who had died along with names and an amount of money, and it seems locals pay £1 a week and there is a raffle held when someone famous dies. Novel. I think the amount of the "winnings" depends on the length of time between the deaths.
