The Leopard Nantwich in Cheshire East

Brilliant place to visit. Food was excellent and also the draft cider. Pricey but you pay for the service and quality you get. Full marks.

No one came to our table to serve us so I ended up getting up to go to the bar myself to ask to order some food. A staff member came & brought food out to another table & we were sitting with no food or even menus it was like we were invisible. A young girl then came over after I at to walk to the bar & ask she was polite & good at her job but the majority of the waitresses walk around like they don’t want to be there working that’s how it looks & feels. The customer service is absolutely shocking in my opinion these staff need training up to make this business run how it should be ran. It’s a shame it’s a lovely pub full of character but lacks customer service & atmosphere in this place. The food we had was the dirty food tray the chicken tenders were soggy & wet. The food on it was average quality not the best. I had the beef blade which was nice & better than the dirty food tray. The pudding was good creme egg cookie dough was lovely. We will not be returning for the poor non-existent service & it lacking an atmosphere.

Very good food, nice stylistic rooms, great ambience. Unfortunately our order was forgotten which led to a longer wait until we could eat.

First time visiting in years, and we weren't disappointed!!!!! Our son chose the venue for his 16th birthday meal and we all loved the food.... We will return in the future, keep up the great work guys👌👌👌👌

Great little place to grab some grub

Lovely breakfast music and food. Unfortunately we had a misprint menu so only were given half the options and staff didn't really try rectify (as they said they'd realised) nor seemingly cared which was a bit disappointing as they're so good otherwise.

Staff were friendly. First time here. Ordered the steak chilli burrito. It was filled with way too much rice. It was also far far far too hot. Must have been microwaved. I burnt the inside of my cheek and roof of my mouth really badly. Probably won't come back. So a bit disappointing given the hype of the place

Good food at reasonable prices. 🍲👍

Absolutely great establishment but please sort your toilets out!! It is just not good enough to say your hand dryer doesn't work and leave wet hand towel rolls to use!!!

Food and staff were amazing I definitely recommend the leopard.

Excellent menu. The food never disappoints. Try the dirty trays, they're stunning.

Menu is short and simple. Food was lovely, well presented cooked beautifully. The staff were on hand for every customer request. They were approachable and quick to react. I had a lovely first experience at the leopard.

Brilliant food and service, would definitely recommend

Nice outdoors, not the cheapest place, the beer is overpriced but a pleasant place.

7th March 2025. First time we visited. 3 of us. 3pm. Wasn't busy bar one couple. Went to a man (who worked there, no name badge!) who had a black top on and a grey jacket. He was standing between the pub part and the restaurant part. Unprofessional, rude and due to this, we had one drink and left. The girl who served us, was friendly, nervous but friendly. can't say atmosphere, due to it being empty. Menu is basic pub grub. We were recommended to go here, I am unsure if the restaurant has a different menu.

Definitely worth the drive to amazing food friendly staff and great ambiance

First time ever going to the Leopard was midweek for lunch. Nice cosy and friendly atmosphere, with plenty of beer on tap. There was a wide variety of food on offer. The food was lovely and the service was quick. Would definitely go for lunch again and we’re looking forward to trying for a night out in the future too.

We had a fabulous few hours celebrating a birthday at The Leopard. The food was super delicious, we tucked into the “dirty trays” which were wonderful. The staff were very welcoming & even supplied a candle for the treacle tart, singing Happy Birthday & writing the age in the sauce… much to the embarrassment of the birthday boy!! An added delight was the live music that started at 9pm creating such a warm & happy atmosphere, & he was great singing the blues… Thank you Leopard xx brilliant evening xx

Had beef lunch the vegetables were very good but meat was inedible

The pub was really busy, but this did not affect the service or quality of food. Great choice on the menu, so choosing was hard. The food we had was delicious , we were all stuffed Would certainly reccomend

Enjoyed a good night out with some good beer and the duck chips were tasty

The food is very good here and there's a nice atmosphere, it's a shame the service doesn't match it. Staff are very nonchalant and inattentive. We walked in and the servers just told us to pick a table and told us where the menus were (didn't even bother handing them to us- right next to them by the way). Servers didn't check on us once during the meal. A real shame that the food is the only saving grace of this place.

Great food, with fantastic service. Highly recommended

Well, where to start, the food was so good, service, spot on, well worth a visit

Lunch menu is always good value and the service friendly. Lots of "Dirty" food options and plenty of beers on offer.

The food was exceptional here. The only reason they have lost one star for me is because it was a birthday meal we booked way in advance and we got crammed in a little booth I literally could raise my arms to eat. The service wasn't the best, yes they came over but only when we grabbed there attention. Would I go back absolutely but in a party of 4, no more I don't think they can handle large tables

Had yet another excellent meal . All 4 of us enjoyed it. The Roast Beef Sunday lunch was delicious with 5 veg , yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. The others enjoyed their chippy teas and crispy beef salad . The only slight niggle is when we asked for salt & pepper etc. when the food arrived the waitress said we have to go and get it ourselves from the bar.

Pie was fab as normal but my desert was a disappointment. I ordered ‘warm treacle tart’ with was not warm at all.

The Leopard is a popular pub on the edge of the centre of Nantwich. We booked a table, which was as well as it was busy even in January. The menu had a fair spread of pub type food, but the print on the menu was difficult to read in places. The food itself was competent, with some pleading touches but overall unremarkable. Beer quality was good, although perhaps slightly down on previous visits. Staff were efficient and friendly.

Wow we went here for my dads birthday and the staff were amazing. Everyone was so nice, the food was tasty. It wasn’t loud. The down star was because I failed to get a reply when emailing the pub on there email address before hand and when rung the line was bad.

We decided to visit this place after hearing about their impressive “dirty food” options and the good variety on the menu. Unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, there was absolutely zero customer service or any understanding of hospitality. The host, who seemed to be a manager, sat looking bored and barely acknowledged us. When we asked for a table, we were told to find an unreserved one ourselves, even though some reserved tables weren’t booked for another two hours. No menus were offered, and nothing about the food or desserts was mentioned. We eventually found a table in a cold corner—though to be fair, the entire place felt freezing. We had to order at the bar, which was fine, but the lack of warmth in the service was glaring. The food arrived relatively quickly and was surprisingly great—big portions, full of flavor, and exactly the “dirty tray” we expected. But the staff’s lack of interaction overshadowed the food. Nobody checked on us during the meal, asked how the food was, or even acknowledged us as we left. It felt like eating in a warehouse—get your food, eat, and leave. The team, all of whom seemed quite young, lacked basic social skills, which could likely be attributed to inadequate training. For a £22 plate of food, I wasn’t complaining about the price, but I expected a much better overall experience, especially since we came for a sit-down meal, not a takeaway. Sadly, this visit was extremely disappointing, and I cannot recommend the place unless you’re okay with cold service and a lack of connection. I won’t be returning.

On arrival visually the place was great looking! Lots of style, greeted by friendly staff and seated straight away. The place is Dog friendly :) lots of choice on the menu and was even mlre pleased when the food arrived. So tasty and the portions were great. Will be returning 100%

This pub serves really good food and the loaded friess are very good even though I prefer the chunky chips, the roast dinner looks amazing but I'm yet to try it but I will... it had a large extension 2 years ago which made it over twice the size and it has a large outdoor area as well. Can watch football here as well in the bar area on 3 screens. Overall a good friendly family pub 👍.

Been a couple of times now where the customer service and staff’s attitude has been really poor. We very often head out for lunch at a weekend and we always have our little pooch with us. This place a) doesn’t let you book a table where you can sit with your dog and b) have to remind you you’ve got a dog and that’s why you can’t have a table when it’s a little busy! It seems quite laughable that they have to remind you that you have a dog when I already know as I was the one that brought him!! It then appears that they then weaponise this comment and to make it not their fault. One Sunday last October at about 4pm we visited and were able to get a dog-friendly table and then upon ordering were told that a large array of the menu was not available. This included: all Sunday lunch options, the pie, the fish and chips, loaded fries. The list went on. When we decided to eat elsewhere because we were less than impressed, their reponse- ‘well you did bring a dog and didn’t book’!! The most unfriendly dog friendly pub in Nantwich.

The service here is fantastic, so attentive, friendly and quick considering we were a large party. Food was delicious, came out hot and altogether so our party could eat together. Chicken fountain was fab!

1st Visit & will definitely return , Food 10/10 & service & atmosphere Top Notch , Young girls a credit to The Establishment for service , mega busy & had a smile on faces at all times. A place to visit 💯 % as won’t be disappointed

Best pub in nantwich, green monkey on draught is 👌

Really good local pub food. Everything I've had off the menu had been A+. Huge portions. The mini mac n cheese is actually a full portion. 😋 Very friendly staff. A home away from home.

We did not eat here but watched football in a great atmosphere

We both had the chippy tea which was excellent. Lovely white flaky fish in a crisp and tasty batter. This coupled with really well kept real ale means we will be back soon even though it is a trek for us.

Food was fab as was the service, will definitely be returning!

Went here first time tonight order 2 x £22 each chicken burger platter and 1 x cheeseburger platter absolutely rubbish the burgers came on a really sweet bun then to top it off had a really sweet sauce making it so sweet u couldn't taste anything chips was covered in a spice topping to hot to eat ribs was smothered in to much barbecue sauce and to top it off had 3 cokes which was flat by the way costing £4 each and also you are sat really close together to other people trying to eat there's no way are them platters worth £22 each we go to a place in Manchester called biscuit and u get double on your platters then this costing only £25 quid You get from biscuit Normal fries Sweet potato fries Chicken burger Cheese burger Chicken strips Nachos With choice off sauces

All 3 of us opted for the festive turkey meal and it was delicious. Staff friendly and helpful.

Group dining. Very enjoyable evening with great company and great food. Christmas menu.

Love this place ! Had an excellent roast turkey dinner , my husband and daughter had the chippy tea and loved it. Perfect portion sizes too. No wonder it's busy .

My favourite place to eat - great menu choice with specials and old favourites, lovely staff and a great place to eat and relax

Perplexed by other reviews We went on a weeknight, plenty of staff on who were nice, but - beef burger meat was almost double cooked, dry, shoe like - American cheese as a costed extra on some burgers had a very odd taste, unpleasant. - nachos for starters were average, just about right for the money - the onion rings were greasy and actually made us feel sick Trying to give this feedback at the end to the manager after being asked “was everything ok” -clearly stating we weren’t looking for compensation was not well received

Recommend for the whole family. Great food and lovely ambience. We’ve been many times now and the food is really excellent. Highly recommend the chippy tea as it’s probably the best in Nantwich. Our party of 7 enjoyed every bit of our stay. Two things my daughter enjoys most is salmon and Mac cheese, this was not on the menu as a pairing but the team at Leopard did it with no trouble at all. We were all left stuffed and happy! Great service and we will be back!

Our group was very well looked after, lovely room and great food

Called here for a meal with friends. Very enjoyable. Good menu options. Good choice of drinks. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly.

Stunning pub will definitely be back really good ales and the food was exceptionally good. Highly recommend

Really great food, can't go wrong.

I have been a couple of times I’ve the past few months and was really disappointed with my Last visit. Really Long wait to be served and have food, poor customer service and was disappointed with the meals to. I always like the chicken burger trays but it was very dry this time. Such a shame

Great Atmosphere in a friendly pub. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Celebrated our daughter's birthday. Would definitely go again.

Great pub with lots of space and atmosphere. Awesome service

Had a lovely catch up with a friend, over 2 light bites and a couple of drinks, food was tasty and enjoyable

Went with work colleagues after work. Nice vibrant atmosphere even though it was early evening. Promptly seated at out pre booked table. Drinks served really quickly and food arrived without too much delay. Excellent quality and really good portion sizes. No one had room for a dessert. Is on our list to return soon.

Great pub. Friendly staff. Good service

Food was delicious. Staff were so helpful and the vegan/ vegetarian menu was so refreshing for a chain highly recommended

Fab food & service as always ... we ate off the lunch menu today having the posh fish finger sandwich and the leopard buttermilk chicken wrap...m delicious! Bonus points for being dog friendly!

Well run pub with good range of areas to accommodate most tastes. Local craft ale was a decent bonus. Went for a burger and you could tell it was decent beef meat inside.

Superb food in both quality and quantity with friendly staff and warm welcoming atmosphere. First time of visiting but we will be back.

Amazing service and food. Something a bit different on offer which we really enjoyed

Excellent food, great friendly atmosphere and a great service! Supurb

Best place to eat in the area!!

Food was amazing, staff very helpful

First time going to the Leopard, and we picked it for ours sons birthday. First things first, the carpark....very small, probably about 12 spaces max, but there was room in a nearby road. We went straight to our pre-booked table & the drinks order was taken. They then came & took the food order, which arrived in a reasonable time. We had the Leopard Burger,The Bao Buns, The Chicky Tray & a kids Mac n Cheese. All really good & a good amount for the money. The staff were really friendly. All in all a brilliant evening & will definitely visit again

Absolutely loved the food here today! I had the chicken tikka kebab and it was 10/10, couldn't fault it at all. My partner has the chippy tea and the fish was huge! She really enjoyed it and the curry sauce that it came with! The pub inside is beautiful too, it has a nice vibe and the staff were really friendly, we already can't wait to come back! 😍

Great pub, with a fantastic selection of beers and food.

Cool location, large beer selection, delicious food

Very nice food, pub is nice and quaint. Small carpark and it gets very busy. Definately advise to prebook a table before you visit. Good value for money and will visit again.

Not sure about this place? Only had drinks at a price, two double gins and a spiced rum with mixers £30!

Happy as always, a really great pub with outstanding food and service

Visited a couple of times midweek with colleagues; for a birthday and Christmas meal. The menu has plenty of choice. The restaurant feels comfortable, bright and welcoming. The team are friendly and helpful. Plenty of car parking available. Clean restrooms.

Nice bar, welcoming. Good beer but not cheap

Fabulous food, friendly staff, lovely clean pub setting and very reasonably priced. Couldn’t have asked for better!

Very warm and welcoming staff. Very polite. Food was great. Atmosphere was amazing . Looking forward to our next visit

The food here is sooooo good, really tasty ! The atmosphere is great and the staff really friendly and attentive. We came here as a group of ten for a birthday celebration and wouldn’t hesitate to return, it was a faultless experience xxx

Visited on a very busy Friday Evening, service was fast and food was delicious, genuinely the nicest steak I've ever eaten. Little bit noisy as we had to sit near to the bar, but this is to be expected. Will definitely visit again.

Blue cheese burger was very good.

Good pub food and a nice pint. Also great big beer garden area !

Large pub and beer garden with plenty of seating. Tv screens for those who wanted to watch but lots of quiet places too. Good menu with plenty of finger food. I had the pie which was ok but was spoilt by unbelievably salty gravy. Would go again and have the lunchtime menu ( not the pie ) which was far better value

Disappointing choice of bevvies

Food was lovely service was great! Can’t wait go again

Staff were friendly and accommodating..food was delicious and couldn't eat it all. Sat outside which was chilled and relaxed . Definitely recommend and will return.

Great place to visit and have a meal and drinks. But I would book. very popular

Amazing food and excellent service always!

Our favourite chain of pubs are Joules, and we've not been disappointed in any of them! The Leopard is a gorgeous place, very big! There's indoor & outdoor seating. The food was gorgeous and staff are so polite. We'll definitely be coming back 🥰

Great food and great service, only problem is parking .

Always lovely when we go! Foods amazing, the staff are accommodating and the pub looks great

Food was great. Wide variety of pub grub that is elevated. You must try the chicken tenders for starter! They are so flavourful, tender and juicy and come with a side of Gravy. The halloumi fries were also good. Nice variety of drinks available including 2x different Aspalls and IPAs available to try. For mains we tried burgers and pie . The chips were very nice, pie was delicious and the portion sizes were massive! We had no room for dessert. The toilets were clean and well signposted Staff were very friendly too. There was live music on as well which added to the night.

Very nice pub with lovely surroundings

We just popped in for lunch and it was stunning I had a club sandwich and chips and there was far too much. Well worth the money.

Visited twice now as it’s the perfect halfway point place for myself and a friend to catch up, recommended by her personal trainer…surprised by the lovely food and we won’t even bother meeting anywhere else as the food has been insanely good both times we visited. Staff friendly, dog friendly too

Proper quality pub. Amazing food, good selection of drinks, and really inviting atmosphere

amazing food, and lovely service by darcey, so helpful

The food was really tasty & presented well, but if ur not a big eater, the portions might be quite big for you. Service was quick & nc that waitress checked everything was ok during eating. The only issue I could see was that the carpark wasn't too big.

First time here visiting family in the area. The menus were creased and stained with food. Not a good start. £17 for a microwaved pie with mushy pastry, a paxo stuffing ball and a tiny portion of potatoes. I'll pay for good food but this was an absolute rip off.

£4 for a sodding lemonade...really !!!!
