The Leafy Elephant in Wokingham

Great whisky tasting evening at the Leafy Elephant. Ollie was a brilliant and very knowledgeable host. The nest is a very unique and chilled area to retreat and enjoy the excellent choice of whisky and rum. Can't wait to come back.

If only I could offer offer nothing. Had a bottlomless brunch booked since December 2023 for February 2024 and less than an hour before our booking got a call to say that they aren’t doing bottomless brunches or food so can’t offer any suitable alternative. What’s even worse is on the website I can still book a bottomless brunch and they have a food menu.

Went in on a Saturday as part of a works do. Asked if they could make a Bourbon based "Old Fashioned" as not on the menu... 2 of my colleagues followed suit... OMG the barman really knows his stuff...just the best Old Fashioned I have ever tasted...all three of us agreed.... the guy really knows his stuff... he is an absolute magician .... I am ruined.. and look forward to a return visit.... the memory of that first sip will remain with me.... joyous...

Great service, great cocktails. Did see a few people being turned away , Upstairs was empty and no functions were being held that night …. not great management

Popped into the Leafy Elephant on our way home for a quick drink. We have never been before and found the staff attentive and friendly, the choice of cocktails amazing and a good vibe. I have seen the great reviews regarding the bottomless brunch which I think will be our next visit,

Great staff /Manager. Perfect location and excellent service. Thank you. We will be back, definitely

We went for the bottomless brunch and a good idea lovely location , the offer is fine however you only get the choice of 2 gins which as it is have as many as you like is probably sensible . The brunch element is also eat as much as you like but a very limited menu . We ordered cheese platted to top up but the size oof the portion for two at £22 is very overpriced for what you get . The choice of cheese was very similar and limited, we did discuss this with the new owner and he is going to look at the pricing , which we thought was very overpriced

Lovely staff who looked after us. Nice drinks selection including a spritz offered & recommended which wasn’t actually on the menu.

We asked the lovely folk over at The Leafy Elephant if they could organise a gin tasting evening for us. We were 9 in total and were set up over 2 tables inside, so, it being a nice warm evening, we asked if we could move outside, which they rearranged for us with zero fuss. a few minutes later we were off on a voyage of discovery, tasting gins we had never tried before with various garnishes and different tonics. A really lovely evening, we all came away happy and a bit more informed about gin. Many thanks to Tidge and Elettra for looking after us so well.

Went for bottomless brunch, the food was great the fact the food was also bottomless was a bonus! The service was steady which is what you want for bottomless brunch! The staff were so friendly and jokey with us, they helped make it a great experience!

Had a Bottomless Brunch here and although they were slightly short staffed we were well looked after and the staff were friendly and attentive. Food also great, would definitely go again.

Really good evening with friends! I drank the golden beet cocktail which was recommended by the very attentive Tidge! I can tell they put alot of care into all the drinks they make! Definitely will be back soon!

Terribly slow service Ordered drinks and after a fifteen minute wait with no drinks we left. Another couple had been waiting longer. Bar staff seemed disorganised and wandering around rather than making up drinks that had been ordered for table service

John made us tailored drinks at the bar. On the spot. All the staff were great and a lovely warm atmosphere. The menued drinks are great as well. But push them and they will blow you away

Came in for leaving drinks, service was really good and what’s more drinks were delicious! Make sure you book your table!

Came to the leafy elephant on Wednesday with friends, absolutely amazing cocktails will definitely be back !!!!

The best espresso martini I’ve had. Staff are so friendly and creative. Everyone I bring here loves everything they try and the bar staff are always willing to make something new!!!

Followed this amazing cocktail maker from a previous bar that he worked at: friendly guy that goes the extra mile for the customer. Kenny the bar man also makes brilliant cocktails. Music here and a nice relaxed vibe. Lovely to see you again John, we’ll...

Love this place. Great staff and a lovely all round venue, highly recommend if your in the wokingham area

Lovely evening drinking gin after a meal! The staff were all really attentive and friendly, especially Caroline, who was really funny and looked after us so well! Thanks Caroline, you made our night. We will be back.

I visited the bar last night with friends to celebrate a birthday. We had a table booked outdoors for 2 hours. After waiting 15 minutes to have our order taken we then waited another 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive, these were certainly nothing...

Wonderful service and delicious cocktails! Amazing gin selection and staff very knowledgeable, have been back since and will definitely continue to return!

Come here often and every time it’s fantastic. Cocktails are great and the staff are amazing, extremely knowledgable and very friendly. My favourite place in Wokingham and highly recommend.

We came to The Leafy Elephant for the first time on a Wednesday evening. I've been wanting to come for ages! As Wokingham locals I think we were a bit shocked to be the only table in the whole place! 2 tables joined later on,...

Wanted somewhere classy to go for pre dinner drinks and was delighted with our choice. A warm friendly and relaxed atmosphere with first class service from Tidge, who looked after our every need throughout. In fact all the staff were so lovely and made us...

Highly disappointed. We came for a special event and it took 1hr45 to just be served 1 round of drinks; when we tried to get the waitress's attention, she saw us, acknowledged us with a nod and then decided not to serve us; we finally...

Four of us walked in for a drink at 8.20pm to have a drink before going next door for food , we where sat down and given menus then ordered drinks by an older lady in a very dirty shirt , she didn’t have a...

Came to Leafy for pre dinner cocktails to celebrate my birthday. Could have stayed all night. It was such a great atmosphere. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. One of my friends always says she doesn’t do gin but she has since changed...

The staff were really kind and helpful after the table we had booked was available later than expected. They couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable. The drinks that we had were so delicious and fun. The bar tender even created a new...

​Extremely disappointed with the customer service!!! I purchased a date night box from The Leafy Elephant (this was meant to be a pe proposal activity). However, after sending two emails and calling, no one would reply with times and availability after kindly explaining the need. I felt...

Very friendly service, drinks were good. Perfect place to go for a drink pre-dinner. Staff very helpful and knowledgable

I've always felt so welcome. Lovely venue with attentive staff. And a fantastic selection of gin. Thank you leafy! They also have a couple local draughts that always hit the spot!

Great decor & drinks list for our first visit. Very disappointing service, very stressed waiter/front door host. We ordered 2 beers & 1 cocktail and told not to "Double Park" at 50!!! While we watched people being served cocktails & shots as a minimum your...

Nice little bar in a new part of town, they seem to specialise in Gin & Tonic as the menu for these is extensive. We tried a few guns with different tonic including some from their specials menu, all very nice. Good service

Booked for an end of exams drink. Staff were excessively draconian in enforcing COVID regulations and generally unhelpful. Drinks were overpriced for the quality and quantity offered. The worst experience I have ever had in Wokingham. Sit and Sip is a much better option.

I reserved a table outside for 3 - and despite the website saying the table was available for 2 hours - we were only allowed 1.5 hours (detailed on website under more - covid Q&A then under "Do you have outside spaces"). The outside area...

Fantastic experience at the leafy with my friend for a quick drink and a catch up! We were served by the lovely Tidge. Will be returning again soon!

Some local businesses deserve support at this time, this one doesn't. Spent time choosing a lockdown treat via Deliveroo, placed our order, waited and waited ... for sometime, only to be advised (by Deliveroo) The Leafy Elephant weren't taking orders, even though Deliveroo allows you...

Nice building and friendly staff but the cocktails were extremely disappointing and way over priced for what they were.

I came in Friday night for a drink with my friend, and was served by a lovely waitress she was very friendly. I wasn't sure what to drink but she was very knowledgeable and recommended the Quince gin, it was sweet like I wanted it...

Us ladies visited last Saturday. It was our first outing since COVID and we were very anxious. Young girl who looked after us was very knowledgeable on your drinks and procedure to keep us safe. We saw the procedure in action which made us happy...

We visited as a group me were treated not only disrespectfully but rudely. Service was slow, drinks were poor. A group of four small girls were told to leave as we were ‘shouting’ .

We couldn't wait for Leafy Elephant to open again and I have to say that they did not disappoint! The new cocktail menu is lovely, especially liked the garden martini (although I still miss the white pearl cocktail). Service in this bar is always great,...

Honestly love the leafy elephant! Been here numerous times and can not fault! Great service and great staff! Highly recommend, cocktails are fab and very creative!!

Ok , so where do I start We had numerous vouchers ( £60 ) for Xmas gifts because we’ve loved the leafy elephant This visit booked for 17.00 on 15.07.2020 for our 31st wedding anniversary was so special Sadly was nightmare before we started Had...

A very pleasant place to come for a pre dinner drink. Lots of gin and cocktails to choose from, with excellent table service and decor

Genius. When a pandemic sends you a rediculously surreal curve ball you improvise and adapt. The Leafy Elephant have done just that and opened the back door to the riders of Deliveroo. We placed our order at lunchtime for an evening arrival. The order was...

Popped in here with the wife as walk past it alot and always wonder what it would be like. The cocktails they make here are special and very well served and decorated. Certainly one if you like gin. Good selection of bar snacks avaliable, do...

I’ve come to leafy with Friends a few times in December and always love it. Great cocktails every time since I’ve been there no where else in Wokinghams cocktails are cutting it. I’m yet to try the gins but there is plenty of time. great...

We booked but a few extra friends arrived as there were no seats they were not allowed to join in as there is a rule without a chair you can't drink. It's very good of the leafy elephant to be so good at upsetting customers...

The best cocktails in Wokingham, the staff that served me were so lovely and recommended some great drinks for me. Saw some of the drinks coming out to other tables too and they are so beautiful and creative. Great addition to Wokingham. We didn’t book...

A great place to go drink with your friends- brings the atmosphere of London to Wokingham! Really friendly staff that couldn’t do enough to help you and an endless choice of gin that was worth the price!! Love it

Had a lovely time celebrating on New Year's Eve upstairs at the Leafy Elephant. Great music and atmosphere as well as delicious gin.

Booked a table upstairs. We arrived and were told we couldn’t open a tab, couldn’t get beers from downstairs (only bottled beers upstairs) and we couldn’t get champagne! Other people have told me stories about the staff being awkward and silly rules that don’t make...

Having been here I can tell you that the people here really know what they’re on about. Amazing gin menu that has won The Best Gin List of the Year by Imbibe and the staff really know how to pair flavours together! Love this place!

Lovely designer wall of gin bottles behind the bar and great location in Wokingham But - Very drafty layout with Uncomfortable high bar stools And most importantly their drinks are expensive and dreadful. They are trying to capitalise on the popularity of gin and specialist...

Friday evening I decided not to cook but take the time out to go for some driks and dinner with my husband. Both being Gin lovers, decided to visit the Leafy elephant as I had seen it in passing on the high street. It is...

We wanted to pop in for a drink early evening but were told we couldn't as as hadn't booked a table. I would understand if they were busy but it was almost empty!! We won't bother to return.

Tonight we were turned away as we had not booked a table for drinks yet the bar was available and bar staff waiting for orders. This is the second time that this had happened. We went across the courtyard to Sit and Sip where the...

Have been a couple of times and drinks are always good. First time I wasn’t 100% sure on service but the second time a host called Tidge explained the menu really well and looked after us. Definitely will be coming back after she made the...

I recently visited the leafy elephant for a couple of drinks with my friend. From the outside it looks beautiful, decor inside is exceptional and the toilets are really clean and smell good. I was planning to spend my birthday here in the middle of...

When I pay between £9 to £14 for a gin and tonic I expect it to be special however the flavoured gins were really lacking. I couldn't even taste the signature thyme in my drink. The bar snacks were £4 each and I got given...

Saturday evening drinks with friends, thought we would give the Elephant a try. Huge range of gins, probably too many as it's all a bit overwhelming. Service was fine, although waitress came for our order and due to only 1 menu and mahoosive choice took...

This place is exactly what wokingham needed. Good gins, for reasonable prices. Different options for those people in your group who don't like gin, would recommend at least once!

Ok a good new venue, lots of nice drinks, a characterful interior, I went here for a joint bithday, with the upstairs reserved. Being summer quite a few members of the group were outside smoking and so I ended up wanting to stand with them...

Visited on a Saturday night and were shown to an upstairs table, which was fine - although it was pretty quiet up there. The girl who showed us to the table said she’d come back with menus but never did. I then went downstairs to...

Our first visit last night but it certainly won’t be our last! A gin lovers paradise with over 200 in stock, but beer and wine too if you don’t major on juniper. There is a cleverly laid out menu which guides you through all the...

Visited recently for a few drink before a meal out. Very friendly staff, comfortable seating and such a huge menu to choose from! The bathtub gin cocktail was lovely, so good I had 2!!!

We had a great time there, enjoyed the service and drinks. Table service is excellent the place feels great and is very clean and tidy.

Something different in Wokingham is always good to see. A nicely decorated establishment with inside and outside seating. An extensive range of Gins, some wine, a few cocktails and a few beers. The food is on the light side - mainly just a couple of...

Most amazing place. Staff very knowledgeable and attentive. Incredible selection of gins. Love the abereviated menu card for uninitiated and then gin Bible once you have got the hang of it!

I visited for a hen party booking in where we supposedly paid for a cocktail masterclass as well as a prosecco each and a cocktail which came to around £20 each. It looked beautiful on entry but extremely loud and busy. The service was good...

Went here for the first time with friends, all can say is interesting, great choice of drinks but is lacking in something maybe just because we were there at lunchtime, there is just no character here or anything that would make memorable....if they had an...

We called in for drinks on the Saturday just before 8pm the bar was busy. We were told this is a table service only bar and you cannot stand at the bar which is far enough.. The waitress said there were no available tables and...

Another visit to this lovely gin bar, relaxed atmosphere with lovely staff and a great choice of gins. My friend and I were treated to a personal gin tasting as part of the August promotion. It is a really nice place to spend an evening.

My wife and I went here early Friday evening. Its essentially a wine bar on the expensive side, but hey..... its Wokingham... You can't book tables on a Friday or Saturday...well that's what they said.... After an hour of consuming some very, very , expensive...

The G&T's are really nice here, however they are very much London prices so not someone I would be going often which is a shame because I highly recommend the drinks.

Called in to the Leafy Elephant after a long hot day of Retail Therapy so I was Ready for a drink and I do Like my Gin so decided to give it a try, a waitress showed us to our table outside and gave us...

Yes it’s not cheap however the choices are clear on the menu. They have great variety and price ranges. We love our gin so the extensive choice is excellent. Service was excellent and love the table service only. Look forward to next visit

Dropped in with family for an evening drink and everyone loved it. Attentive friendly staff. Massive gin collection (215 if i remember correctly) and all served with decent tonic and matching garnish. Prices were roughly £10 a drink so yes.. farely pricey for a few...

Dropped in with a friend on Saturday afternoon to see what this establishment had to offer. Shown promptly to a table and given a variety of "menus" for drinks, snacks etc. Eye watering prices, higher than many upmarket bars in London! Zero atmosphere, provincial decor...

An excellent range of Gins presented in a very well laid out menu. Staff very knowledgeable and enthusiasic. Watch out for the prices when you choose otherwise a visit could be very pricey. Also has a small range of local craft beers.

New place in Wokingham, full of atmosphere and a huge selection of Gins, nice cocktails, and a few good beers as well. Located in the new square just off rose street. Service was the only thing lacking, it was not great. Overall this is a...
