On every level I'd be hard pressed to fault it. The quality of beer is excellent. The food is excellent. The staff and locals are friendly and the value is second to none in leek.

The Hollybush at Denford is one of the local gems. Situated close to Deep Hayes Country Park, the…read morehollybush is right next to the canal and attracts crowds of walkers. In summer, it is particularly popular with canal boaters and can sometimes be so busy that it is not possible to get into the car park, even though this is very large. There is a children's playground, a beer garden and the pub has been extended by a large conservatory to accommodate more diners in the restaurant. Even so, be prepared for a long wait on busy sunny days when it will be heaving - but it is worth it.

Nevertheless, when I was there (and I've only been there once) I had the most wonderful time! Everyone there knows each other and tells stories about what the other people have gotten up to - they are all real characters! There is constant music playing from the various men singing and playing guitars and banjos (seriously), it has a real country-pub feel to it, and I never wanted to leave. And as for Moggy the landlord jeez, he is crazy! One of the funniest people I've ever met in my life. If you're ever in Leek pop in and say hello, you won't regret it! Oh I almost forgot.. they have a festival out the back every year, too, with lots of local and not-so-local band playing (see the pictures) which can be a great laugh!

They also have a lovely spa and hotel. First time we have been since Covid and on arrival there were clear instructions of what to do and where to go when you arrived for your table. There was hand sanitiser on the entrance too. No staff wore masks or gloves and no details were taken of any other guests in the party, there were laminate menus on the table, no temperature checks were taken. The tables were spaced out where we sat with about 3 foot inbetween them. There was a table of 8 people at one table, not sure but I thought the maximum was still 6 people? The waiters were polite and friendly and came to take our orders quickly. The food was delicious and good value for money with the option of a small or large sunday roast which was bought to you plated. The steak pie was delicious and the puds were yummy. Will be nice to go to the spa and functions when they start doing them again. A lovely place to eat and good food.

It offers a range of eating opportunities, including pub meals, a carvery and a bistro style restaurant. One of the problems is that the staff do not seem very keen on customers and are not very helpful explaining the system to new visitors - you usually end up waiting in the wrong place only to be told to queue elsewhere! I went to a murder mystery evening which was OK but nothing special, and I have been to the carvery a couple of times. The food is not too bad but no better than any other local carvery - just much more expensive. IT is well located close to Tittesworth Reservoir and the Roaches, so gets quite a lot of passing visitors. It is worth trying if you are in the area, but I would not recommend making a special trip.

Everything you would hope to find in a small-town business. I've been patronizing this store through its various iterations for 50+ years, and can promise that you haven't really seen Greer if you don't stop here for a Coke and an ice cream sandwich!
