Next weekend (24/25/26 May) I find myself in the arguably enviable position of being in Staffordshire (or it may even be Derbyshire. We'll be based close to Bottomhouse and Onecote.

We need to find the nearest pub that has ESPN and that will be showing the Premiership Rugby final (Leicester vs Northampton) on Saturday afternoon.

Any help appreciated.

    Ah Leek!
    The gene pool in the Staffordshire Moorlands is even more shallow than Norfolk! :wink:

    The Engine Room, on the Marketplace.

    The Red Lion, also on the Marketplace.

    That's where I would head if looking for sport on TV - plenty of screens showing sports.

    There is a decent Belgian bar in the town centre call Den Engels. Don't think they have TV's but the beers are good!!

    Wrong - the beers are feckin' lethal! You had the Trappist stuff they sell? - I don't think trappist monks have sworn a vow of silence, they're just pissed.
