The Roebuck, Leek

Strongers . left this review about The Roebuck

In Tudor architectural style and dating from the 17th century, the Roebuck Hotel is certainly a main feature on Derby Street. It actually looks to be part of the adjacent Trinity Church that has a steeple that towers above, and is viewable from, the cobbled ‘Hop Yard’ beer garden at the rear accessed through an arch at the side of the pub. Inside the pub to the left of the entrance is a carpeted seating area that feels like it’s used mainly for dining. Steps at the rear lead down to a flag stone seating area with a short counter. There was nobody down here during a recent Tuesday evening visit so I expect this is used as a function area and as overspill from the main bar at busy times. The main bar is found to the right of the entrance where a curved serving counter faces a couple of booths across the front windows and high tables up the right by a tiled fireplace with burner on the right-hand wall. This is a Titanic Brewery pub, I counted ten hand pumps that were drawing Titanic beers plus Green Duck Brewing’s Blonde, Everard’s Tiger and a couple of ciders, Old Rosie and Ruby Tuesday Herefordshire. There are also nine keg taps across the back bar that were drawing Titanic and premium lagers. Plum Porter is my favourite 2024 tipple, so I had a very nice pint of it before moving on.
