Perfect pies for our wedding guests!

May 2022 • none

We asked Lawtons to provide us with a range of pies and sausage rolls as a late evening snack for the guests at our Peak District wedding. They couldn't have been more helpful or kind! We ordered a real mix of pies, from traditional meat and potato and cheese and onion, to vegan sausage rolls. Everybody commented on how delicious they were and they worked a treat to keep our guests going after a lot of dancing and partying! We can't wait to come back and eat at the cafe next time we're in the Peaks - it looked and smelt amazing when we went in to collect the pies. The cherry on top was Steve's very kind gesture in sending us away with a little, specially iced and decorated, wedding cake - so lovely!

Was not disappointed..

Apr 2021 • none

Had been looking forward to nipping over to get some pies for a while.. We went and purchased 3 meat and potato pies to warm up when we got home for lunch. Plenty of filling and plenty of flavour and the pastry was lovely.. Looking forward to going again to try one of the chicken and veg pies. The bakery has outdoor seating and serves meals (pie and chips).. It was very popular and we can see why. The shop itself is lovely (it's like something from an old book) and the staff very friendly. Shall see you soon. x

First visit

Feb 2020 • family

We had lunch here and were very pleasantly surprised. The service was totally smiling and friendly, good choice of meals at reasonable £. The pie pastry was really good and likewise for egg custard, probably the best I’ve ever had. Our granddaughter gave the thumbs up too, she was very impressed with the oatcakes! Will be keen to return.

Awful food and service

Jul 2020 • friends

Visited this cafe in Leek for the first (and last) time. The menu board on the wall opposite the counter listed various pies all served with 'hand cut' chips and gravy. I asked for the cheese and onion pie, which they had none. I asked if they had any other vegetarian pies, was told no. I asked if the gravy was vegetarian they said 'don't know' and were very reluctant to find out. I then opted for just a plate of their 'hand cut' chips. Which I was charged just under £4 for, no salad no gravy, just chips. I was looking forward to them, however they were the worst chips I've ever had!! Certainly not hand cut, seen more convincing and better 'hand cut' chips in a mingy kebab shop. I asked one of the waitresses and an older lady came up to me and was rather rude and abrupt asking me 'what's up' she then tried to convince me that the chips were hand cut. Well I won't be recommending this place to anyone or returning. Awful overpriced frozen oven chips and unhelpful abrupt staff!!

Thank you for your review. Our pies are baked on the premises and sell rather quickly so if we had no pies available straight away we would bake some off fresh which would only take 20 minutes. I'm not sure about your comment of 4.00 for chips as this is not what we charge for a plate of chips. I can assure you that the chips are prepared fresh every day. As the majority of our reviews are positive ,I am pretty sure that what we are doing is in the main o.k but we can always improve so will take your comments on board.Re-opening after being closed for 3 months due to covid has been a challenge but I'm sure we are there now.

Fabulous in every respect

Jul 2024 • couples

This was our first visit to Leek & we couldn't have found a better place to have lunch. Oatcakes filled with a very tasty cheddar accompanied by flavoursome tea & coffee meant that we couldn't manage a cake as well so we bought them to take home. I can now thoroughly recommend both the bread & butter pudding & the coffee & walnut sponge - absolutely delicious. The customer service was outstanding & our first visit won't be our last. PS: Love the wallpaper!

Memories are made of pie

Jul 2020 • family

Thanks to wonderful staff at Lawton's we loved our visit..it rained heavily as we sat outside enjoying pie, chips and gravy. You offered us indoors but I couldn't be happier sat outside. Memories flooded my mind as my family have been visiting this restaurant for 40+ years, I even popped in on my honeymoon. I now had two young boys of my own who have enjoyed sharing in this special place. You have made my holiday in the peak for my 40th thanks so much!

What a delight!

Jan 2020 • family

Called in for a quick brew and decided to have a teacake as well. What a lovely little find! Friendly staff who were quick to serve, and the tracakes were the best I have ever tasted. Thinner than usual so toasted to perfection. Definitely recommend a visit.

No toilets!!!

Sept 2023 • friends

Called in for lunch while visiting Leek while waiting to order looked around for the toilet. I asked a staff member to be told " sorry we dont have toilets" i thought all establishments with seating serving food had to have them and hand washing facilities. Hence we left without ordering and wont be returning

GLUTEN FREE LUNCHES NOT DONE

May 2023 • couples

Came because of the GLUTEN FREE in the write up by a customer, when we got into the cafe on the MENU IT SAID GLUTEN Free AVAILABLE ON SOME MEALS AT LUNCH TIME. when my wife placed our order and asked for a gluten free lunch she was told they did not do GLUTEN FREE although it was printed on the menu in BOLD PRINT THAT THEY DID. We shall not be returning unless you can tell us why you would not do a gluten free lunch.
