This is a beautiful pub/ restaurant, the service we received today from Chris was amazing, we had never been before, but we will definitely be back with family and friends. The decor is stunning and very quirky which i loved, it's clean, no loud music playing above your head, which is so nice. The service was 10/10 , Chris was so lovely, even bringing my pudding out with happy birthday in white chocolate, which was totally unexpected 😲 The food was absolutely delicious, it was cooked to perfection, hot and looked very appetising, the flavours were so good. We can highly recommend and can not find fault with one single thing. Big shout out to the chefs who you never get too see, your doing a fantastic job behind the scenes and would loved to have said thank you personally. Keep up the amazing service , you have a great team at The Leather Bottle.

Firstly, our waitress (tall blonde lady, sorry I missed your name!) Was incredible and couldn't do more for us and made my nan's birthday, so so special. The food was so delicious! I would recommend eating here, and I would definitely return! A little thing, but the decor was so wonderfully quirky. I noticed dogs were welcome in the bar area as they provided water. Such a lovely warm and welcoming place.

Went here today, food was alright, but unfortunately no baby changing facilities so not ideal for a family meal out really, wouldn't recommend. We booked for a large family gathering and unfortunately we were positioned amongst the walk-way into the bar area so felt quite clostrophbic, I would suggest to the management to book larger tables in a less cramped area.

Such a lovely evening, Nicky was fabulous with helping organise my parents surprise anniversary meal with all of our family. Big tables are never easy in this industry esp when the bill comes but nothing was a problem and the staff were so accommodating with people being late and keeping their food lovely. Everyone was so helpful, so chuffed. Thanks again guys!

Pretty, traditional pub, with good atmosphere. We attended today for Sunday lunch & had the vegan cauliflower wings to start, which were delicious. We then had the vegan nut roast for main, which was okay, but the nut roast itself was a little disappointing. Would also benefit from more gravy.

Have been a few times as the food is excellent however yesterday we attended for a family birthday booked in advance for Good Friday which was fine and again food was fab but service let it down the person serving us made us feel we were in detention never a smile and felt bad for asking for anything really let the evening down and we asked for something off the lunch menu which ended at 6pm we sat down at 6pm and was told no ??? Also it was my sister’s birthday and they said they would decorate her plate with happy birthday this didn’t happen shame as we had lovely service before hope this review is acted upon and feedback

Certain things off the menu taste mass produced and microwaved. Not the best prices for the quality. We ordered from the set menu but were billed different prices. Told different things by different waitresses. Response to reply - thanks for your rude response, we didn't have fish&chips x3.

I have recently moved to Ongar in Essex and my family came up to visit yesterday. I was searching for a pub that wouldn't mind us bringing our dogs since my sister wanted to bring her dog up with her.. We visited The Leather Bottle for lunch and my family was so impressed with the place. My Mum said it's the nicest pub lunch she has ever had. My sister who works in the food industry couldn't believe how fresh and lovely the food was. It was all delicious. Needless to say my family and I will definitely be coming back here for lunch/dinner again and again.

We dined here as a 4 (and 1 doggo) on a Saturday evening. There was a great choice of starters and mains (probably too many to choose from as they all sounded amazing!). The food was brilliant (belly pork a firm favourite) as was the service. The dessert menu wasn’t as big and there wasn’t anything that took our fancy so we opted for a cocktail to finish which was lovely. Thanks team we will be back!

Had a lovely lunch there. I know I always go on about it, but I do have coeliac disease so it's important to me, they had a good choice of gluten free dishes. Also a good portion of freshly cooked vegetables - so often you don't get much. Service good and friendly too. No idea of cost, my brother paid ( made it even better 😂).

Sun 6th Nov. Today we had a family meal at The Leather Bottle. Staff very polite and friendly. We got seated while we waited for one extra to arrive Our drinks order was taken and we waited. The late arrival turned up, he got seated, a drinks order taken. That drink arrived immediately, while we still waited and waited. We did have 3 cocktails on that order, so maybe that was the delay? (We also heard of staffing issues due to the bad weather) We had a member in our group who is a vegan. He had Cauliflower bites to start with a ranch sauce. Ranch sauce was too strong and was an overpowering flavour. He then had the Nut roast. They offered him Cauliflower Cheese as a side. Why? This wasn't a vegan option. The nut roast came with a Yorkshire (not vegan) and Honey glazed parsnips (again this wasn't vegan) They were removed, and no real alternatives available The Nut roasts itself were far too sweet. So overall not a great Vegan meal. It makes you wonder if even the roast potatoes were actually Vegan friendly? It also makes you think, if someone had allergies and if these items had been on the plate and just removed, then the whole plate could have been contaminated? The other meals we had were nice, rhe venue is pleasant and the staff nice. Like many pubs / restaurants, they just haven't got a clue / grip on the vegan requirements and the food options / offerings are poor.

Disabled parking unavailable, or not obviously marked out. Limited parking around the site. A nicely decorated pub with a limited but decent tasting menu. The desert trumped the main in the terms of taste. Unfortunately the service was middling, with a delay to taking our order and forgetting to bring the ordered drinks to the table once they had been prepared at the bar.

Busy and popular pub in the middle of Blackmore. Lots of people eating and drinking, but plenty of space at the bar. The beer was good and the service quick, despite how busy it was. Nice old building with all the character you could want. They have kept it bright and welcoming inside. Luckily we were in the village already so did not need to park. Parking is a nightmare, with people inconsiderately filling the residential streets and making the junction almost impassable.

Booked a table for 2 last night. When we sat down we were told it was their last night before closing so the menu was limited! Why weren't we told before we booked?! Literally 5 dishes left on the menu. Poor quality. Unprofessional staff, treating the place like a youth centre. No wonder it's closing down.
