The Leather Bottle in Hart

A quintessential English pub. The menu is very varied, nice wines and varied choice. There is decent parking and a nice pub garden. It's dog friendly and there is a local 2.8 mile loop walk you can do from the car park.

Great food, sizeable portions. Very good service. Didn’t have to wait long for each course and very attentive waitresses.

Lovely little pub, cosy fire. Starters were absolutely incredible. But, if I go again, I’ll just order multiple starters. The halibut was very small in portion, nothing mind-blowing, and an horrific £27. That is compared with the much larger roast for £22, though that was also fairly underwhelming. Everyone knows roast potatoes make the roast, but people in our party were giving them away! They were just about rock solid on the outside, and without much substance on the inside. Furthermore, a member of our party ticked the gluten free options and specify a gluten intolerance. Well, it’s fortunate that they only have an intolerance and not coeliac, because while we awaited our starters a server came around and quite plainly said that it isn’t actually gluten free and there’s cross contamination, offering no alternative. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE COELIAC I also had to ask 4 times for the glass of port I had pre-ordered at the time of booking the table. All in all, I would be interested to pay The Leather Bottle another visit as it’s a lovely location with great atmosphere and crisp drinks (albeit £4.25 for a Coca Cola). The starters were also phenomenal across the board. The quality & cost of the mains and dessert service was just a let down today.

Fantastic easy and friendly vibe. The food was also fantastic. All round excellent.

Had a nice lunch here . Food was excellent , freshly prepared and delicious . Service was not rushed but not slow . Price reasonable too . Overall worth a visit .

Lovely lunch meeting up with friends. Tasty food and a great service. This is our go to place for meeting midway and even better in the summer when you can sit out in the large garden and catch-up.

Lovely evening, celebrating Christmas with a group of friends. We were a large group and the service was a little slow initially, the starters didn’t arrive for at least 30 minutes. However, after that service was seamless. The food was delicious, hot and very generous portions. Friendly and efficient waiting staff, who worked hard on a busy evening. Highly recommended and we will be returning.

After a rather frosty welcome, we had a great meal. There were 8 of us and the food was good and well served by friendly staff

Nice pub/restaurant. The food is excellent and expensive

We were a group of 20+ former work colleagues who were having a reunion after 25+ years! With only 24 hours notice it was decided to extend the day together as a group and have dinner together, too. On booking with The Leather Bottle, somehow they managed to squeeze us all in on 3 large tables adjoining each other. Without exception, everything was excellent. The atmosphere in this busy early 1700's country inn was delightful. The food was simply delicious and the service friendly and efficient. The prices for what we actually received were very reasonable. We all had a lovely evening. Certainly we will return again as a couple or with friends, and I'm quite sure others will, too.

Delicious meal, great pub/restaurant-wish we lived closer 😊

Never disappoints! Great location for food and drinks!

Lovely meal cosy pub beautiful log fire, perfect

Lovely atmosphere, food was great. Chap fitted us in with booking. Friendly staff

Leather bottle was high class in everything. I would certainly revisit at some time.

A wonderful place to while away an hour or two and fabulous service even though they were super busy (which shouldn’t be a surprise 😀)

A lovely atmosphere in this pub. The staff were very attentive and helpful. My beef bourguignon was absolutely delicious as was the starter, Brie bites.

We were looking for somewhere to stop for lunch on our travels, and a diversion took us this way. I'm very glad it did. The staff were friendly ,polite, and attentive without being annoying. The food was delicious. Busy, but not noisy.

Great food, great staff, great pub!

We loved the Leather Bottle. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the decor and arrangement of the pub means that it feels really cosy, classy and welcoming. We live outside of the area but I would highly recommend it and would definitely go back if we found ourselves in the same part of the world again.

great pub good food one of our favourites

Had a lovely lunch today and great friendly service from all the staff. Was a lovely pub to have lunch. Good choice on the menu and reasonable prices

Easily one of the best pubs in the area. Service is great, food is spot on 👍 Never seem to be able to get a tequila soda right in this pub though 😂 either comes flavoured or dismantled.

Beautiful gluten free salad. Highly recommend it

Stopped here after doing a walk around the area, managed to be squeezed in on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Very polite and professional staff tasty food. Vary varied menu, something for everyone, though a few bits quite pricey. Lovely atmosphere.

Very nice little pub. Greeted well at the door and seated in a suitable place (disability) Food was very nice, probably the best burger I have had. Good selection of drinks but could do with some more high end single malts. Our waitress was lovely and is a credit to the business. Wish we hadn't waited so long to visit and will definitely be back. We'll done guys 100%

Brilliant sunday evening spent in their covered courtyard, friendly staff and very tasty food! Great portions too!

We had a most enjoyable evening here where the staff could not do enough to look after you, especially Ivana who took a shine to our Cocker Spaniel providing her a cushion and blanket. The menu was varied and interesting the price was about right for the portion size and quality, no complaints at all. I am a French resident and it’s something we just don’t have in France, a proper pub with good honest food. I highly recommend you stop here on the A33 !

A must stop off. Staff really friendly and attentive; knockout food and a cracking pint. A little pricey but well worth it. And dog friendly too!

At a time when many pubs are struggling, it was good to see the Leather Bottle pretty full at 8pm on a Tuesday evening. Not hard to see why. We were on our way back from a trip to Liverpool and just wanted a quick supper as there was nothing in the house. One chicken supreme and a cod loin, plus beer and wine, and we were out in just over an hour. Friendly prompt service from organised and well trained staff in nice surroundings. This place is consistently good.

Lovely pub restaurant with good fresh made food. Quite a variety menu to choose and nice atmosphere

This is a gem of a pub, great food, service and atmosphere.

Have visited several times and when we are visiting relatives in Eversley, we always book The Leather Bottle for a meal. A lovely country pub, with a great beer garden and a cosy restaurant indoors. The menu never fails to please and there is always a great choice of high quality meals to satisfy most visitors. Real ales are well kept and a good choice of wines and spirits. We had dinner there last night for my son’s birthday and we’re not disappointed. The chicken and leek pie is to die for and the braised beef feathers was outstanding.. We were served by the lovely Charlotte who was brilliant and such a pleasant and very professional young lady. We all agreed she is a a great ambassador for The Leather Bottle and say a big thank you for making our evening so pleasant. W will be coming very soon and can’t wait to have another of those wonderful meals. Thank you to everyone. F

The vegetarian curry was delicious! I usually struggle with pescetarian and vegetarian options, but they had several choices and I was stuck between them. The curry was perfect, vegetables were al dente, the curry spiced right and the rice wasn't mushy. Really hearty, healthy and wholesome.

Lovely food and good surroundings. You can take dogs in the bar area. Staff friendly and efficient and menu suitable for all tastes

Very nice welcome from the lovely team Couldn’t fault the place and I will definitely return

Lovely food and drink with very friendly and attentive staff. The menu was great with a lot of options, and my lobster and mussels pasta dish was perfect. Dog friendly too. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.

Great food and service. Would highly recommend.

Thanks to the Leather Bottle for a memorable Diamond Anniversary lunch. There were twelve family members and everything was perfect with a menu catering to all tastes and also great service.

Wonderful Service and Staff! I went to your establishment and was met with only kindness. Being seated to menu selection was great. Heather served us and she was not only prompt but super friendly. She helped us with understanding what was in each meal and addressed any allergy issues that we had to attend do. Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic pub to go to, after a long dog walk. The food was great, and the staff were good. A little delayed on the food, which we didn’t know loads about, but other than that, extremely happy with everything.

The ploughman's was phenomenal and average price. Good service. Atmosphere didn't quite cut it,s so compared to The New Inn up the road, this pub & eatery came second.

Visited on my sons birthday. Weather was wonderful as was the food staff and value for money.

I picked this pub as it was a halfway point of meeting and I was not disappointed! Staff were lovely and polite - was certainly service with a smile. The food was very promptly brought out which was ideal, plus the actual food itself was delicious, the halloumi fries were yummy followed by the chicken burger too!

Have eaten here before, but stopped by to do some remote working. Good coffee, and friendly staff - slightly loud traffic noise, but very hot day meant all the windows open. Well worth a visit for work or leisure!

We go to The Leather Bottle fairly regularly and like going there. I would normally give a much better score but unfortunately for us the Wine and Tapas evening recently was not so great. Having paid £100 for 4 tickets and the event information stating it was 16.00 - 11.00, we were a bit disappointed to find the dregs of wine and no canapés left (not actually tapas in the first place) when we arrived at 18.45. We then ordered two bottles of wine and a selection of tapas from the menu. Food was ok. We were told a good will gesture would be to remove a few tapas from the bill, which they duele did, yet still our bill for Wine and Tapas for 4 was £180 on top of £100 for tickets, so an expensive evening for what it was really.. having said that we will be back.

We were a group of 12 and were well looked after by the team! We had a lovely meal and really enjoyed our experience. Many thanks :)

Booked thinking it was a different pub! Will definitely return. Great experience, standards excellent everywhere - Food, Service, Ambience etc. Cost what I was expecting Good to come across a small pub group with a focus - well done

Group of seven friends monthly catch up over a meal, this was a return visit and will unfortunately be our last. Food was average and service very slow. Waitress apologised for slow delivery of starters but we then had another wait for our mains to be served. Just as one of us was going into the bar to chase the food it arrived - delivered by an assistant manager who really isn't suited to a career in the hospitality industry. When we politely commented on the slow services she virtually threw the plate on to the table and rolled her eyes. She walked away without a word. When she came back we said that rather than silence and eye rolling it would have been better to just say something such as I'm sorry but we are really busy tonight (they weren't) or sorry but we are short staffed this evening but instead she decided to dispute her actions, roll her eyes again and disappear. She reappeared shortly afterwards with a note to tell us what time we had ordered at and how long we waited for food. An aggressive, argumentative and very rude assistant manager. The other waitress who served our table was absolutely fine. We will not return to The Leather Bottle it certainly does not deliver service with a smile.

Very good food reasonably priced

Possibly the best service I have had in the UK. Food was good, very highly recommended.

Just had a lovely late lunch with friends. The food was gorgeous. Definitely will come back.

Great meal at the end of a long day visiting Beaulieu. Lovely little pub with a good selection of food and drink

Excellent Sunday lunch and great beer!

I’ve always loved going to the leather bottle, the staff, the food, just everything is always on point. Looking forward to my next visit already :)

First visit for me, but my husband had been previously as it's near his workplace. Really lovely picturesque pub with good food and service and obviously popular. The drink selection is really good although I only had a draught Asahi it was 🙂‍↔️👌I've given 4 ⭐️ for the food as my main meal of braised beef feather with parmesan truffle mash, white onion puree, and red wine sauce was a little bland 😌🤏 but I would definitely revisit if I'm in that neck of the woods again.

Food was not AMAZING here, but good enough. I really liked the atmosphere, it was cute indoors and outdoors was really lively and full of nice plants. The service was good as well.

No more to be said. All excellent.

Really exceptional service, not intrusive but right on the ball. Good food, reasonable prices. Don't change a thing. Did I say great service? Wonderful.

Beautiful old pub nestled in NE Hampshire. Great 5k walking loop can also be started from there

Stopped after a walk, the garden is lovely and service at the bar is knowledgeable and friendly We waited quite a while to be served in a corner of the garden, but it was a busy Saturday in the sun. The food was a mixed bag. Pub classics seem to be a safe bet. Halibut and the fish and chips were well received. But the seafood linguine was greasy, tasted mainly of burnt chorizo and the two prawns and occasional clam, didn't really stand a chance against the slab of parmesan. Likewise, the Catalan bread and tomato looked nice but tasted mainly of red onion. We raised the pasta with the server and apparently this was flagged to the chef, but they didn't seem to see a problem so maybe just a blip.

Treated to a meal here after my son and his girlfriend had previously been and said how good it was I certainly was not disappointed What a lovely place in such a beautiful setting 3 options for seating inside ,outside undercover or in area that is screened beautifully with plenty of space for privacy , we chose to sit outside in the garden area and was offered blankets if we felt cold , the food was outstanding all the food was well presented and tasted amazing I had beer battered cod that was just something else really was serious quality in all honesty I think it’s the best I’ve ever had it was that good ! staff were all friendly especially Alex who served us , there was no rushing and he was able to adjust the order for my sons girlfriend with no fuss Yes it is a little expensive but it is worth every penny !

Lunchtime... Sun Beaming down.. Garden full with no spaces.... managed to get a nice table with an umbrella to shade, a few of us ate, food was excellent, very polite barstaff and waitresses. This establishment has a great reputation for its quality food, beautifully kept garden, lovely patio, toilets are better than the Ritz. Hutch is always pleased to see you and greets ALL customers, an asset to The Leather Bottle. Well worth a visit for food, beer and ambiance.

Service a little slow but overall an enjoyable experience. Thank You 😊

Very nice little place. However it has a low ceiling. If you're over 5 foot good luck.

Phoned for menu information was told to go online. Well if you can't be bothered or can I.

As this was my first time to this pub but having been to many sister pubs owned by the main chain I had high expectations. It's fair to say they were met and exceeded the pub staff are lovely and the food was lovely too. The pub has a really nice asthehitic and feel to it and really feels like a nice traditional country pub. Would happily revisit many times to come especially as its only down the road from me now.

Lovely food, super gardens for warm weather, and dog friendly

We sat outside having a drink in the lovely garden before moving inside to eat. There were plenty of lovely choices of starters and mains to chose from. The food was amazing and the service was very good despite it being busy. This was our first time here but we will definitely be back to sample some of the other choices.

Great food, fantastic service and a wonderful atmosphere inside and out. A real gem.

Good food and good.service considering the pub was filled to the rafters.

Friendly welcoming staff, delicious food and a great atmosphere.

Service at lunchtime last Thursday was slow and it wasn't that busy. A colleague who was with us went the night before and said service was much quicker. He also said his prawns pil-pil was better then as well. I thought my food was really good, restaurant could have been a bit warmer, the fire was lit near our table but didn't provide much heat.

Really great experience for a Sunday lunch with 3 adults and 2 dogs. We were allowed to have the dogs on blankets/beds on seats and they both got a lot of attention from other customers and staff.The food was delicious and this wasn't our first and it sure won't be our last visit.

Very good. I'm coeliac and they catered really wel for me. I was absolutely delighted with the fish, chips and mushy peas.... Highly recommend.

Sometime amazing, sometimes not but the outside space is really well done and with the fire burning in the winter it’s a perfect space.

Lovely countryside pub with high standard of food and service.

Really nice place with lots of little novelties like a tractor in the garden, reading glasses to borrow and a large jar of dog treats! Lovely food, staff and garden. A place I’ll keep coming back to

We had lovely food and the atmosphere was chatty and cosy. All bar one member of staff were smiley, friendly and very polite. One, however, leaned across us to serve another member of our family without saying "excuse me", she rushed putting cutlery down and told us as she brought us the bill(which we didn't call for) that our table was booked for 8pm (in 7 minutes time). Everything seemed rushed by the waitress and spoiled the experience.

Love lunchtime food. Had the light bite lemon chicken salad.

The food was good. I did have a lovely burger and chips. It wasn't particularly hot. My husband enjoyed his meal. Dessert again was lovely but not hot. Waitresses were lovely.

Great service, excellent food, fantastic value for money, highly recommended.

Really good service and nice food. Not the cheapest but good portions. Brilliant that I could bring my dog.

Lovely cosy pub, recommended in the colder months when you can warm yourself by the fire.

Really good food and lovely staff. Very accommodating and helpful.

Great food & service. Really friendly pub that never disappoints.

Great food. Great atmosphere. We came for dinner after collecting my father from hospital. He knows one of the waitresses from the local ping-pong club. Always impressed with the food and service.

Lovely family lunch for 8. Welcoming and friendly.

First time we have ever eaten here and it was fabulous, 5 stars all round, well done

A great team working this pub, efficient. but discrete. A warm welcome awaits.

Not a great experience being at this place. Service was slow, staff weren't the friendliest and the food was average. I won't be using the voucher to return.

Lovely place and great staff - went for Sunday roast ( 3 pm so maybe that was the mistake) and the chicken was really very dry, ( even with extra gravy that I requested) the Yorkshire pudding was bizarrely flavourless and a little stale. roast potatoes were Ok but far from great ( who doesn't love a really good roast potato?) veg was a little texture less ( soft) was given free coffee's after mentioning the dryness of the chicken , ( would have rather paid for the coffee and had a great meal, but I appreciated the gesture. ) So, sadly a little disappointed with the Sunday roast that really should be pretty darn good for £23 - ( you shouldn't have to turn up earlier to get good cuisine anyway - although I know when it comes to roast pub dinners, that seems to be the golden rule in most places. .. )

Fantastic food! Great ambience! Perfect place to spend Mother’s Day. Thanks Leather bottle for the lovely goodies! Spoilt rotten on Mother’s Day! Looking forward to more visits!

Really lovely lunch with friends. On a dog friendly table for 6 in the bar. Excellent food. Friendly service. Thank you!

Lovely pub serving some good food

Everything fabulous throughly recommend

Great pub, great team behind the bar - what’s not to like ?

Fantastic food and service! Nice environment.

Food was great, would say 8.5/10 service was attentive, waitress was very pleasant and friendly. The speed of service (drinks) we can't complain about. The food service speed was as expected given how busy it was (Saturday night ending of the month) around 40 minutes after ordering for starters. Then mains was shortly after the table was cleared. Will likely return soon

Love this place. Great negronis and good quality changing food menu 👌
