The New Leather Bottle in Colchester

Me & my family had a fantastic Sunday Lunch at The New Leather Bottle the food was lovey & a good choice of Beers. Very friendly staff we were welcomed on the way in and bar staff said good bye on the way out like a good old fashioned pub. Will definitely go again as just move in up the road from the pub . We have found our new local

Great host. Our room wasn't quite ready so he gave us free drinks until it was. Nice room, very clean. Really comfy bed too. We'll definitely come back

Went for Sunday lunch with friends. Comfortable venue, friendly staff, excellent food, good value. Recommended.

Friendly staff. Great roast dinner.

as newbie to location , went to had a pint with friends , treated with cold reception and rates are well above pubs nearby

Very friendly people and very good service. 👍

Busy day, attentive staff. Served with a smile.

Only went there to see a friend in a band that was playing there.

No food! Somebody haven't been shopping! Dog came out; peed on the floor, and then peed on my bag I probably won't be going back Disscusting! !!!!!!!!!

Rarely been to a more welcoming pub great food at reasonable prices Top notch 👌👏👏👏

I would like to thank Emma the landlady of the pub for letting me use her pub to Throw a 60th birthday party. Emma and her staff was amazing and friendly they didn't stop plus it was the hottest day of the year so the pressure really was on. Emma went out of her way to accommodate all of my needs as she was happy for me to bring In my own, catering. They even put the bouncy castle up for the kids. Happy children happy parents. And she also allowed me to bring In a REGGAE SINGER levi he was also amazing. All in all everyone enjoyed there self's and the surprise was a success Highly recommend the new leather bottle Many thanks 😊

Had a roast with the family today. Which would be tody normally as the go to but definitely changing scene as the new leather bottle was great.

25th Anniversary for Gary and Tammy. It was amazing! The food was wonderful, service was incredible. Such a lovely pub in a great location.

Wow. We hired the back garden area for our daughters 3rd birthday party last Saturday with a bouncy castle, bbq & buffet! Food was amazing! Every guest commented how good the food was. They honestly couldn’t do enough for us and made so much effort throughout the day to check everything was perfect. We will defo be hiring again ! Everything was perfect ! Kids had the best time ever ‘ reasonably priced too. Highly recommend !!!!

It's expensive and no manors after you've paid. A rude comment was shouted as left car park via staff/punter. Not the greatest experience.

Absolutely beautiful Sunday roasts. Emma and the team are fantastic hosts

Fantastic service and the food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit!!

So much better friendly service, bright and well decorated so much better than before. Bought our Australian family here they loved it.

Excellent food friendly staff and most importantly an impeccable pint 👌

Food was amazing. Staff very friendly , lovely atmosphere.

Felt welcome in the pub, you can choose if you want to go to the saloon bar or sports bar. we went for the saloon bar popular choose as it was busy. Upper dining area there too if you wanted to eat, nice menu selection but was not hungry. Waited a while for drinks but there was only one lady serving so just waited patiently. Lovely selection of drinks . Jack and coke single and Malibu and ginger ale came to £9 so not bad priced. Anyway went to the sports bar room on the other side as there no one was in there , amazing haha . We played pool but there was no white ball but two black balls and missing one red anyway staff tried to help but couldn’t find the balls , so we played with what we had and it was fun anyway. Then played darts for a little bit then left. we was in there for about 40 minutes.Overall I enjoyed myself there. Can’t say I would plan to go back but if I was passing by, I may pop and do it all again.

Mother Day Sunday meal was great.Had a lovely time.Made feel very welcome.People who run pub now are very nice and very capable.

Went in with friends whilst visiting son at Uni. Very welcoming, lovely atmosphere and beautiful log fire. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Decor good and toilets very clean. Will definitely visit again when next in Colchester.

Amazing food, lovely, friendly staff. All very welcoming, will 100% be back again

A phoenix rising from the ashes. Given half a chance it will become a real venue!

Went here today for the first time since last summer. Feel they are really trying to have a go at it and hopefully making it a good pub. really looking forward to trying their food soon. Friendly staff and good drink choices. Nice beers and ciders. Hoping in the summer they allow drinking outside will be coming back here a lot! Also unlike the prettygate (our previous local) they do strongbow dark fruit. Our favourite drink and perfect in a pub garden!

Under new management. Great Sunday roast. One of the best breakfast in town.

Nothing wrong with this place at all. Good on all cases. Room was clean and warm. Lots of noise from the chihuahua in next doors back garden. That was extremely annoying. Pub is loud, but the dog was worse. Good food, when they do it, reasonably priced. No problems at all. Thanks Maxine.

Such a lovely run family business.. Would highly recommend it.. All food is to die for and the roast is another level.. 100% will be going back.. 💙

Popped in for a quick pint and chat with friend. Landlady very welcoming. They have spent time and effort to redecorate and it had a nice feel to it. Think its early days but the local community should embrace the effort to revitalise a local historic gem.

Lovely friendly pub with seafood stool + beer garden with bouncy castle

Haven't been to the leather bottle for a few years. Was always a good pub to visit, however now under new management it's a great pub! Fully refurbished, very friendly staff & management and all round a great atmosphere to bring the family. We'll be back especially when the full menu is up and running next week.

Very friendly, new landlord working hard to get the pub back to it's former best. We're sure she'll succeed!

Lovely staff. Massive improvement

The place is lovely, and the host Maxine is wonderful, I have rented a room, and Maxine is more than a manager, she is a truly friendly, kind and nice lady and the place is decent and safe for families, pets, youth and elders too:). The rooms are clean and lovely. Thank you from all my heart!

Lovely refit, it looks great inside and out and very friendly staff

Waiting to be served at the bar very poor

Lovely Lunch.Going tomorrow for a Roast.Very Cosy.🙂

Nice place with a good selections of beers and food. Large car park facility..out door sitting areas..in all perfect place for dinings.

Great place for a party if you get the chance

I've driven past this pub for many years visiting friends and family in Colchester. Finally got round to popping in their last night . What a lovely place and friendly staff and a couple of very nuts dogs too . Well worth the visit and will be back next time I'm in Colchester

Nice quiet pub. Just popped in for a drink on the off chance.

Lovely owner and rooms were lovely

Sweet lady nd the staff is totally helpful

Different prices when shift changes...very ugly

Paid for hotel but when arrived all shut up and no one answered the phone so we were stranded. Worst hotel ever DO NOT BOOK

The garden has been renovated since I last went here. Nice beer garden.

Nice relaxed friendly atmosphere
