Den Engel, Leek

The customer is never wrong. While other pubs in Leek are struggling to survive Den Engel is usually packed. Plenty of staff and best range of quality beers for miles. The (usually four) real ales are well kept, constantly changing and at times Quirky! Yet the best kept secret is the food. I have travelled to most countries and tasted some exceptional dishes but the Fayre at Den Engel matches the best. If this place was in London they could easily tripple the prices.

Fantastic selection of Belgian bottled beers and a good range of lager fonts,this place attracts a lively mix of customers and quite a few women only groups who appreciate the unusual tipples available.One negative was the selection and quality of their real ales and a couple of pints we sampled were dodgy but probably because no one was drinking real ale in any quantity.Den Engel could easily remove their real ale ,just focus on their excellent bottled selection and the place would still be full.Great experience for anyone visiting this attractive town but probably not worthy of a GBG entry.

Plenty of selection of beers which all taste great but shame about the staff as seem very rude and stuffy.
