Leather Bottle in Merton

I came to the pub on a Saturday afternoon, I bought a cocktail and it was bland just needed a little sweetness and it would of been perfect, I asked the lady who was a waitress if it was ok to have a little dash something sweet, she comes back with a handful of mint leaves in the drink which absolutely didn’t go with the drink, I work in a bar and we accommodate the customers where we can so I know it wasn’t an impossible request, our table had left over glasses and food from the previous people and I kindly asked a waitress if she could clean the table, appreciating it was a busy Saturday afternoon i expressed this to her, I ended up cleaning the table myself, and then the table was wobbly just to top it all off.

I went for the over 30s soul night - everyone was really up for it - lots of great dancing and fun. There was that typical bit in the middle where the DJs lost it a bit playing an obscure soul/funky mash up but it is a decent night out with a group of mates

The staff really make this place!

Probably the worst burger I’ve ever had. Beers are good though. Just don’t eat here.

I went to the Leather Bottle for their monthly soul night. What a great night. Brilliant music.

Perfect start to a Beautiful Sunday, Sun through the door, A bangin real Sunday Breakfast with service to match !! Well done Ashley and team...... easy 5 stars 👌😁

I went to Wimbledon to visit family. We came on a late Sunday afternoon. 1 * Veggie non dairy, 2* Meat roasts, all tastes absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, the food smelt and looked so good, exactly as advertised , not a morsel was left behind, We first sat outside in one of the booths then moved inside, both areas very clean and tidy, all staff very accommodating and friendly, polite and professional, nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely return.

This has been our local for the last 50 years. Service is always brilliant. Richard, Lisa and team are great always. Only negative comment would be the mushrooms and the sausages on the vegetarian mains were not good today. Otherwise everything else grata. Still going to comeback.

Incredible value for the children's meal and really family friendly. Great for parents of toddlers like us!

Great place such a good atmosphere, staff are very friendly, we eat and had drinks

Excellent service friendly customer service great food visited for Mother’s Day and had a excellent meal lovely staff great place

Lovely bar staff, Lisa Ash & Aimee are AMAZING!! Love the leather bottle such a lovely atmosphere and enjoy my time down here every time! Great bar staff and team always! Thank you

First time I visited, had a good time and good food. Watched a Premier League match too. On my second visit, I was ID’d and the bar staff immediately called my original driving learner’s license fake. We tried to tell them that it was original. They apparently told the manager and they called it fake too. My partner’s driver’s license was accepted. Felt discriminated against and will not forget this experience nor will I go there again.

We both enjoyed our dishes. They were very tasty and well-presented. There is a nice range of beer and Amar’s, our waitress, was very approachable and attended to anything we asked. Thanks for an enjoyable Sunday lunch experience!

Great visit and will surely be coming back to this pub & a special thanks to amara she’s a gem with nice customer service skills

It was a truly enjoyable experience! The staff was very attentive, and a special shoutout to Ashleigh—despite my allergies, she made me feel really comfortable and confident when ordering my food. The food was great too, and I’ll definitely be returning!

I had lunch here for a friend’s birthday and Amara was great, she was very atentive and lovely!!! Thank you very much! !!!

Amazing food, friendly team and superb service! And Ash..just beautiful

Come on a sunny day. They do a good fish n chips. Nice portions, good atmosphere

Quick bite for lunch. Good, friendly quick service and dog friendly too!

Wonderful roast dinner polite and courteous staff great atmosphere would definitely recommend

Family and pet friendly pub. Went a couple of times for wife’s birthday as well as watching rugby and had lots of fun. Kids friendly, lots of tv to watch sport, full and good atmosphere even though not crowded, good food and London decent price. Will be definitely back soon.

Been a regular here for many years but numerous recent experiences have been top notch so bravo to Ashleigh & The Team for a job well done 🙌

Decor is nice and the staff are very friendly, Aimee was lovely. I had the katsu fries which were delicious I would recommend

Fantastic service, very friendly atmosphere breakfast was superb 10/10 Ashleigh has a smile to brighten up your day job done 👍

Absolutely love this pub for sports, great screens in all areas, sound on when needed for whatever games you want. Team were so friendly and went above & beyond to make my experience totally awesome. Good was amazing, would recommend this oub to anyone who wants a good laugh & a good time all round. Thank you Leather Bottle. See you at the weekend 😎

L’endroit est parfait! Typique cadre anglais, service au top et nous avons très bien mangé! Viande excellente! Merci beaucoup.🤩

Only stopped for quick pint. Lovely pub. Good pint

The staff were very friendly - Lisa was wonderful! Lovely atmosphere.

It's just had a refurb and it looks great. It's bright and airy with great decor. Lots of seating and an outside area. It's got an extensive drinks and food menu and it's very reasonable. It's part of the Green king chain and they are always quite consistent with service. The buffalo fries we had were one of the small plates. A generous portion, £5.69 and really tasty. They also do breakfast and have a kids and senior menu

Staff are friendly and helpful,however it can take a while to get a drink and slow service.

As a regular I found customer service to be severely lacking. I went for a cigarette leaving my half drunk pint and my box of cigarettes on the table to reserve my seat. When I came back in the pub my stuff was cleared. When I approached the bar to find out what happened I was met with a very defensive manager who said she didn’t do it and then asked her staff and no one said they cleaned that table. While this was happening I asked the if they could look in the bin for my cigarettes. This he found. Thus showing my table had been cleared. All I wanted was was cigarettes back and my half drunk drink replaced. But I was met with an aggressive attitude and unable to admit fault despite growing evidence that they had cleared the table despite not admitting to it. I was subjected to a rant about being a disagreeable customer because I said”don’t be pedantic you may not have cleared it yourself but one of your staff did.”The manager then took offence to this quite normal language. Saying if you’re going to call me pedantic I won’t talk to you! Really! Unbelievable you wouldn’t talk to a new customer like this. Just because were regulars doesn’t mean we can be treated l like this. She then said I don’t know what you want me to do? Really just admit you took pint and cigarettes. I have have cigarettes from your bin so you definitely cleared the table and just replace the drinks. One of the other bar staff suggested this and that would have calmed the situation had it been suggested earlier! I was then told it wasn’t a full pint so was only give half pint back. Fine it was only about a half that got taken. But given the attitude and tone of the manager at the time I felt like I was under the Spanish Inquisition. All for your staffs mistake that was handled terribly. The service I received post this incident was very frosty and childish. Not the type of professional hospitality I’d expect from a junior member of staff let alone a manager. I did say I I’d be leaving a review about this. The on duty manager responded with “crack on” is this really how managers are trained to deal with valid customer complaints!? I was shocked and appalled by this attitude.

Always lovely. I just wish there were healthier food options.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the food was first rate. We will definitely come again.

impressed by the way the pub has been renovated. Food good, prices good. 9 of us in total, couldn't book online, but emailed and got a response.

I haven't been there since the refurbishment. It is much better and the staff were very kind to my family and I. Thanks for that.

Good value food. Staff are welcoming and the place has a nice pub atmosphere.

Slow slow slow This place needs to be able to serve simple meals within 20 minutes of taking an order. I have been a regulator customer for several years and usually the wait time is about 40 minutes. I will resort to ordering food from the app from home, then come around 20 minutes later to cut the wait time.

Better since the renovations, family oriented restaurant and bar, perfect for the area, really.

Went to the Leather Bottle for Christmas Lunch. 3 of our party are disabled, we were placed ground floor next to disabled toilet which was ideal. The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic, couldn't fault anything. Thanks to Tracy, Ashley and Shannon. Lovely ladies, great customer service, they were smiley, happy and cheerful! Thanks team, we will be back! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊

Great pub great food great music had a fantastic night outWe had a little Christmas get-together here for the 4th year in a row 😊 we really enjoyed the dj this year

Great staff and very good value. Honestly this is a staple for my friends and I. You can’t beat this place for good quality affordable food and drink. Also since the refurb the place has really taken a new shine.

Decent Green King pub with ample seating and plenty of screens to watch the football. Make sure to get the app, you'll get a free drink if you predict the football score correctly!

About as you would expect from a Greene King. The blonde dessert was awfully over done though.

Our big family had dinner and it was absolutely amazing service with great food and fantastic staff. Shannon is a great person who goes extra mile to make sure you’re having good time. Thank you all

Had a fab reasonably priced meal with our grandchildren The katsu chicken was better than Wagamama’s Staff were lovely Lisa and Stephan we will come again Good for kids too

We had a great experience. Stephen was an absolute delight and made the evening. It's lovely staff like this that make people want to come back. His consistent happy services make this a great pub.

Came to the Leather Bottle today and was met with a festive feeling! Very Christmassy in the pub! Thank you the LB team for an amazing service, as always.

It was great to spend the afternoon at the Leather Bottle today. Ashley and her staff were as welcoming as ever and continue to be wonderful people to see when coming in here. There is a real Christmas feel to the place with decorations, music, drinks and food all available! It's a great place for a drink and some food, whilst watching any live sports that are on! Will definitely be coming back again!!!

Very nice place with very friendly service. Impressively quick service to say how slow most places are on a Saturday afternoon and good food to go with it. Great spot to watch the footy (not too crowded). Aimee was very helpful and was always keen for a chat while drinks were pouring

Great food and value for money. 10 friends went for a Christmas get together. We were really looked after by Ashleigh and Shannon. Our table was all ready looking very festive with crackers, water and glasses laid out. We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends. Great place and friendly team of staff.

Beautiful pub, friendly staff, nice fish and chips.

Absolutely loving it since the referb. The team are fantastic, pub is spotless, food tasty. Sometimes food can take a bit longer than expected but that's what you get for having a busy pub. Just what you want for a local.

Very bad and unclean. Tables were sticky and the food was not that great. Walked up to the bar and there was no staff and most weren’t welcoming.

I happened to find this pub when I dropped off my kid at a nearby art class. This pub is in a residential area and might not be a destination unless you're a local. However, I was impressed by their service, table settings, and cleanliness—it is spotless! The staff is friendly and well-mannered. The food is on the better side of average, but I only ordered chips today. They seem to be part of a large chain, so the menu items might not be original but are safe choices. They have an ordering app, which is handy for first-time visitors and people with language barriers like me. Overall, this is a very nice pub.

Lovely place to eat and drink and meet friends. Staff are always brilliant and ashleigh is fantastic!

Tan was an absolute gem! Lovely pub, lovely atmosphere and quick service! Thank you! ❤️

Great staff and nice pub I was served by tan tonight she was very friendly as were the rest of the staff, my favourite pub in the local area by far

Testy food and brilliant service, Tan was super helpful and fast with the food and drinks.

The food there is actually delicious, but I waited at least 35 minutes for the food to arrive.

We attended the Halloween party at the weekend was lovely lots for kids to do well run and staff were lovely. Food is also great kids loved it so thank you Lisa and team will be back again soon.

Went to the Bottle for a family event with approx. 40 people. Took the staff's recommendation on the amount of food to order, which worked out perfectly. Food was very good and plentiful. Staff were attentive and understanding, making the event far less stressful than it could have been, even stocking up on drinks we knew would be in demand. Would highly recommend.

Overall its a decent place with good grub, friendly staff and decent amount of seating. The only let down was the size portions, I did expect a little bit more and the kids pizza was essentially a Chicago town deep dish thing, the place didn't seem that busy on the day and we waited over a hour for 2 kids meals and 2 adult meals and when it came out I was a little disappointed with the size of the portions

I went in for one of their lunch offers. When I ordered I asked whether they offer their lunch deal which was confirmed. So I ordered the main and the drink and instead of asking what side I wanted with that got charged for the main and the drink individually and ended up paying more than with the side under the lunch deal offer. When pointing this out that it got shrugged off instead of trying to remedy this.

Great Service Friendly informative staff. The food is good will go there again. They now have Redtooth Poker League on a Monday night. 😀

Great night. Good music and lovely people

Bar staff not that quick or friendly long faces, need more bar staff on event nights. Or your standing to be served for way too long.

Vegan food not particularly strong but not bad for a place that predominantly isn't a vegan or vegetarian restaurant. Nice chilled place and friendly staff. Been a few times and will be back :)

Lovely food shout out to the chef great presentation only problem is the drinks are abit expensive but food is lovely staff are great aswell

Great pub with excellent service , The burgers are too delicious ❤️

Tan was such nice team member and went above and beyond to accommodate my allergy, truly made dining at the leather bottle an enjoyable experience, such a lovely member of staff!

We had a night out at the leather bottle and Tan made sure we had a good night with Tan serving drink

Tanishka, best service for real 💪💪

Since the renovations its absolutely lovely. The food is fantastic. They now have poker nights, quiz nights, games night and a very nice sunday roast.

Lovely pub to relax in chill out Opens at a sensible time staff very polite and friendly. Beer great . Try the place yourselfs I think your enjoy the pub

Beautiful newly renovated pub, delicious food, very friendly waiters. All things contributing to a lovely lunch out with friends.

My favourite local, taps are always fresh and Tan is an a* bartender- perfect pours and great chats everytime I'm in ❤️

On a busy bar Tan really held it down, great recommendations too, and brought me all the sauces I wanted , sorry if I was difficult! Please let her know

Ordered a big breakfast on Saturday morning. After 40 minutes there was no sign of my order being ready or even prepared. Had to leave to find other place for breakfast

We had the wake for a family funeral here and it was the perfect place for our 70 guests. The food was plentiful and we were able to use the TV for video and photographs. The service was excellent and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Nice pub with ad some good deals on the app

Popped in with a friend for a late lunch.. Had the Fish & chips. Large portions. Great friendly helpful staff. Nice refurbishment.. Shall return soon👍🏻

Love this place...so welcoming...we have been a few times now and will keep going as long as we live in the locality. Would recommend.

Went on 'make that move' Dj event and it was brilliant, venue nice size with plenty room dance , sit inside and out ,good vibes and staff work very efficiently behind the bar

Come in for dinner with some friends, very friendly and polite bar staff♥️Lisa served us and was very helpful and very friendly would definitely come back again!!

Great pub, great staff and great atmosphere, food very nice and staff very friendly, great pub, defo recommend 😀 and will be going back, we are having a little gathering on the wkend and staff have really put themselves out for us, great team, thank you

Lovely friendly pub, food was great and we were served by the lovely Lisa who was very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Poopped in for a Sunday roast and was served by the lovely Holly at the bar. Will definitely be coming back

Been in tonnes of times since the refurbishment. Ashleigh, Holly and the whole team are always welcoming and incredibly helpful.

I came in for dinner with my family over the weekend and the food was lovely, service was great and the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend The Leather Bottle.

Polite& friendly Staff that probably needed more help at the evenings busiest time

Pub has been recently refurbished (for Euros 24) but service is often poor and they are forever running out of beers. Range of beers is also disappointing - just the usual Greene King stuff, nothing a little bit special.

Great pub. We had incredible service from Tan, she was so lovely, will definitely be back.

Lovely local pub with amazing team ,great new kitchen. Local people are very friendly and polite. Enjoy the events during the week

such a delight coming here, staff are always nice and the estrella is top notch. Lou & Ashley are amazing!! She shouldnt go back to uni and stay here!

Love coming down to the LB! Ashleigh and Lou are brilliant at their jobs and are a highlight of every trip. Beers are great prices and food is brilliant quality for money. Thanks to the whole team

Lovely bar staff, great ambience, nice local characters and foods good quality. Family friendly and welcoming to all. Ashleigh and her team do a fantastic job of keeping the punters happy !

I recently visited the Leather Bottle for lunch with my brother before attending a football match in London. The food was fantastic, we chose off of the lunch menu and enjoyed a very reasonably priced wrap, chips and pint (highly recommend Level Head IPA). We were served by Lou who was super friendly, attentive and made our visit very enjoyable. Lou seemed to know all the locals and their orders which is always a good touch. Landlady Ash has put together a great team since the pubs re-opening and each time I have visited the atmosphere has been brilliant, even in the daytime hours. All round top pub and would recommend to anyone contemplating a visit.

Ashleigh and her team are fantastic. There is a great atmosphere and banter with the regulars. Thursday is Quiz night which draws a good crowd. The food is very good. Great place to watch sport but recommend you book a table. Dog friendly.

Always have such a great time, fantastic team, fantastic manager. Food / drinks excellent. Always A great night. A special mention to Ashleigh who is a fantastic manager and has a very great team. Ashleigh is very caring towards her customers and her team, this reflects on the level of service. Laura & Colin x
