Went for brunch as it was my daughter’s birthday and honestly couldn’t fault a thing. We sat outside in the marquee which looked inviting with round tables, cushions and patio heaters if needed.Laura our friendly waitress was very attentive throughout and seemed genuinely interested when she asked my daughter her plans for the day.Food was fantastic, beautifully presented and portions were generous. Lovely little touch at the end when Laura presented her with a black slate platter spelling happy birthday in cream, decorated with fruit and pancakes. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. ❤️

I want to say a huge thank you to the Leather Bottle and Lin for my birthday drinks a couple of weeks ago. We hired the garden room with waitress service. I had such a lovely time, the service was amazing, always there to ask if anyone wanted drinks. We also had pizzas and fries which again was beautiful. All different flavours, goats cheese and caramelised onion was my fav! We was allowed to put our own music on and it was a chilled evening with friends. Thanks so much xx

Everyone complimented how beautiful the garden room was decorated. Would recommend the garden room for any event. All events catered for perfectly. There’s speakers to connect to and a feature wall for the insta worthy pictures

Our daughter stayed with us this weekend and we booked a table for dinner in the LB for Friday night. We were warmly greeted on arrival by the same lady who looked after us all night, Kelly. She showed us to our table and took drinks orders straight away. We ordered starters and mains, we had two garlic bread starters and a buffalo cauliflower, all of which were excellent followed by the largest piece of Haddock I have even seen, it covered half the plate. Our daughter had the Cajun chicken burger and my wife had the Salmon. The food came up quickly, steaming hot and was 5 star quality. Kelly checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, it's refreshing to have such great service on top of quality food. Highly recommended, I also hope the chef and his team get to read this is they deserve the highest of praise as well.

Olives and bread to start - followed by:Halloumi and cous cous salad - tasty Salmon fillet - fresh and well presented Haddock and chips - HUGE!!!!Jerk chicken burger - well received 3 hours, not rushed, cafetière coffee to finish, friendly welcoming service - Kelly was great at keeping our table happy!

Enjoyed an absolutely faultless meal here this evening. We all opted for starters as frankly they were too good to turn down, opting for the calamari, potted crab and the ribs. The fish dishes were light, fresh, and seasoned to perfection, and the ribs fell off the bone. Moving onto mains the steak was cooked to perfection, no steak knife was needed as it was melt in the mouth. The salmon was equally delicious, we swapped the new potatoes for the triple cooked chips which were as good as they sound! The jerk chicken burger was incredibly fresh and non greasy. We weren’t sure if we had took for desserts but could resist sharing the trip of desserts platter which really topped off the meal beautifully. Added to the above the staff were incredibly attentive and really made the atmosphere special. This is a great relaxed venue that would be perfect for a drink but equally the food is some of the best I’ve had locally. Couldn’t fault it at all and can’t wait to return.

Lovely creamed cabbage, lovely large potatoes with not one but 2 large Yorkshire puddings roasted to perfection, stuffing was nicely cooked with herbs and sausage meat, the crackling from the pork was 100% edible and beautifully roasted and the large pig in blanket was a lovely bonus to a fabulous roast and the sauces were a plenty and all meats cooked to perfection,,, 10/10 thank you leather bottle and compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff and also to the bar staff

We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who promptly took our drinks order and came back for our meal choices. I was pleasantly surprised at the wide range of meals available to cater for all. Lots of light bites as well as mains. The food was cooked quickly and came out piping hot and fresh. I’ve never had onion rings like it! I’ll definitely be returning without a car to sample the extensive gins on offer!

My restrictive dietary requirements meant I had to preorder my food and the pub was helpful and more than accommodating. They bought specific ingredients for me and made the whole process pain free. Our waitress was called Kelly who was friendly, knowledgeable and made a tier 2 experience enjoyable for everyone.

My wife and I frequently visit the Leather Bottle in Blackmore and have had many pleasant lunches and in the past drink with friends however Sunday lunch this week was exceptional. We booked in for 3 O'clock and observed the current legal requirements as we entered an took our seats in the glorious garden room which is the perfect spot to have lunch or to book a family get together, our waitress was polite and very 'on the ball', checking us every ten minutes or so to see if we needed further drinks or anything else. We both ordered the dressed crab for starters and I can honestly say this was the best dressed crab I have ever tried, no comparison whatsoever, definitely will be having that again. We then had the Bottle burger and the Harissa chicken burger, which were promptly served, we were both extremely satisfied and after our meal sat and had a further couple of drinks in this lovely environment. 5 stars for our lovely Sunday afternoon, great service, good food and a very comfortable and safe environment, well done LB.

Had the most beautiful Roast Beef Sunday lunch take-away from the Leather Bottle last weekend. I've been dying for a roast, I live alone so can never be bothered to cook a roast just for myself! The beef was so beautiful it literally melted in my mouth, crispy roast potatoes and lovely fresh veg. Also came with a cute little pot of horseradish sauce and a huge pot of gravy on the side. VERY IMPRESSED and will be ordering a lovely take-away Sunday lunch again this week

Went for Sunday roast with our two young children. Had a lovely meal, the food was lovely. It was busy (but service still very good) and quite noisy (purely from being so busy) but that suited us perfectly as any noise our children made didn’t seem out of place. Great for family get together or meals. Food was lovely, only minor point was the roast chicken had pepper on which I found lovely but my (albeit fussy) five year old did not like.

We have heard great things about The Leather Bottle, we have wanted to go for ages & finally had an opportunity to go today. We booked a table in the bar, took a seat got no service so I went to the bar to ask for menu’s & to get us a drink but the woman behind the bar (older shorter lady with short hair) did everything possible to avoid making eye contact with me & speaking to me. I gave up & my husband tried - same thing zero help zero service, she just came across as miserable & intentionally unhelpful. We went into the restaurant and a lovely lady said someone will be with us shortly. She came over & took our drink orders - I asked for a large house red, my husband got a beer. I was then presented with a glass of white wine, I said sorry I asked for red. That started a mini chat of frustration in the bar - which I heard, the waitress said I asked for white. Let me just clarify, I haven’t had a glass of white wine in over 10 years, I only drink red - so there’s no way I would have said white by accident. Our food came it was very average, but we had to wait for ages for someone to come over for us to ask for out bill (bear in mind we have an 8 month old baby with us). We finally got the bill and guess what ? They charged me for the most expensive red wine (to make up for the white wine incident of course) when I asked for the house red which is £3 cheaper, it was pretty shameless really. I caught the unhelpful lady behind the bar look at me when she heard us work out what they’d done. Luckily there was a different lady at the till who amended the bill & only charged me for the house red. My hippie side would say the place has “bad vibes” , we definitely won’t be going back there again - it’s extremely overrated.

Based on the response given to the last review, I think you should not only consider training your front of house staff on customer service but also to the management who respond on here. It says a lot about an establishment and how they respond to negative feedback and your attitude has proved really disappointing, which is a real shame.

My fiance and I thought to try this restaurant as heard lots of good thing so we booked a table for 4pm on a Sunday and looked forward to our visit.Restaurant was easy to find and parking was no problem.As soon as we walked into the restaurant area we were met by a member of staff. My fiance gave the booking name and the staff member pointed to our table but asked us "would you mind ordering quickly please as the kitchen shuts soon". Unfortunately from that moment we felt quite rushed from then on. The staff were friendly enough but we did feel a bit like we were putting them out a bit and so it spoilt the experience unfortunately.If the kitchen closes at 5pm and you're still accepting bookings up until near that time then I don't think it's wise to ask customers to hurry up ordering. It can come across a little rude and unwelcoming. Like us, it placed a negative on our visit despite the food being amazing. Unfortunately we won't be returning and feel the restaurant should work on this.

Our friend was visiting from Australia and she wanted to experience a typical English Village, so we took her into Blackmore for the afternoon. We walked around the Historical Church, viewed the old Priory, along Blacksmiths Alley, onto the Green and alongside the Duck Pond, we then took her for Sunday Lunch at the Leather Bottle. This was by far the best bit of her English Village experience, we all had starters and mains and the food was exemplary, swiftly served and well presented. The two ladies who served us were attentive and delighful to speak with and it didn't cost the Earth. Our Antipodean friend went home to Oz thinking that all Village Pubs are like this one, well done LB for topping off her experience so well.

The staff are very attentive and the venue very thoughtfully and tastefully laid out. We went for a slightly early lunch. The menu was rather limited and we did slightly struggle to find something that we both could eat but decided to go for fish and chips and scampi and chips basic stuff. The staff as I say were lovely and we had a simple starter and dessert. It was very filling and very good value for money. The rating is really the limited menu and that my scampi really looked like Birdseye scampi and tasted the same. Would I go again .. umm possibly but possibly not..

The other half spotted this place on a cycle ride so we waited for a decent summers day and drove to the pub. Set in a small village next to a tea room, it is fairly modern yet contemporary in style (like most pubs these days) but had a real local charm.

Not been here in years and its certainly changed. Despite a 2 page menu the mains are just half a dozen items, mostly pub standards although Pie & Mash was somewhat different. Wife had the excellent Haddock & chips while i went for a starter and the cheese & biscuits. The cheese choice included a Goats cheese, which was to die for. Friendly stall supplied me with the details and i went home & bought some on the internet (bloody expensive!!!). They lost a star because of the small mains menu and the lack of a strong ale despite having 4 others on offer.

I used to live in Blackmore as a kid so thought I’d pop in here as was visiting. Wow!! How it’s changed. Is now a nice restaurant with lovely decor. Food was good and the service was brilliant. Definitely a change for the better!

We called in at this pub with two friends not intending to stay very long. But the place was lovely newly decorated and very modern and friendly staff they said there was going to be a bbq about to start, which was laid out well under cover and a singer arrived who was very good and before we new it we had been there 5 hours. Definitely worth a visit you could still order food off the menu and fish and chips were well received all round

This was our first visit with some friends and all agreed that it was a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant area is more like a fine dining restaurant which leads onto a well maintained garden with tables and chairs for alfresco dining. The menu is varied and interesting and we all agreed that our food was very very good.

Popped in on the off chance as used to come here with my mum and dad when the kids were small. it is lovely and modern and so clean. The jacket potato I had for my lunch was divine. Lovely white Rioja to wash it down. Sat in the garden in the sunshine. Will be back again.

Just passing through the village and stumbled upon this lovely pub, it was fully booked but they managed to accommodate us by juggling a few things around. I must say the roast beef Sunday lunch dinner was one of the best I've ever had, pudding was equally delious. Definitely will go back.

Decided to stay local for our 5th anniversary lunch. Great choice! Both my partner and I were well impressed with lunch. Great choice of beers; excellent fish and triple cooked chips, steak and a chocolate brownie to die for!! Really enjoyed our lunch. Well worth a visit, thanks to everyone involved

First rate pub lunch with friendly service. Black pudding scotch eggs was superb. Liver and bacon the best I’ve had for some time. Excellent value for what we had.

Best Sunday Roast around, fabulous food, great service, friendly locals and nice clean and tidy fun afternoon out. Simple clean bar and dining room,with unfussy but very well presented and cooked food. The roast potatoes and everything alongside the meat including delicious red cabbage was fantastic, so rarely do we eat a Sunday roast not made at home that hits the spot, but this was exceptional, keep up the great work gang and can't wait to return in the new year....

Possibly the best roast dinner ever? I had roast lamb and my hubby roast beef, so scrumptious, the meat was cooked to perfection and the sides delicious, perfect roast potatoes, a huge crispy Yorkshire pudding, creamy cauliflower cheese, perfect parsnips and carrots, truly divine. Friendly service too, brilliant.
