Ye Olde Leathern Bottel in Wokingham

I came here for my 20th Birthday with 15 of us and the food was amazing all plates cleared. Our server Molly was so kind, accommodating and efficient thank you so much guys will definitely be coming back!! :)

Great and efficient service from Amelie. Good pub grub

Went for lunch, great food. Holly served our table and was very friendly and made the experience better. Would recommend the lamb shank!

Took my 82 year old mother out for Easter and had a wonder Sunday roast at Ye Old Leathern Bottle. Food was lovely and didn't have to wait long at all. We were looked after very well by Julia & Tom.

3 meals - Easter special menu Lamb + usual Sunday roast choices 3 x Roasts & Pork were lovely. Had to follow them up with Chocolate brownie, Apple pie & a sticky toffee. All well served & presented hot. Thanks to all your staff today and Amelie who served us 👍

Try their terrine 😋😋😋😋 the current special options are fantastic. The steak and gnocchi was fab too! And great service from Molly, thank you!

Molly was very friendly and attentive, making sure to accommodate anything we needed. Thank you!!

Great local pub, warm friendly environment. Julia was particularly helpful and friendly and provided great service.

Excellent. Amazing and very hospitable people. If you want to have a good beer

Warm welcome and great service! We visited on Friday afternoon and you could clearly tell the bar was very busy and garden was packed. Even tho the staff were under a lot of pressure they welcomed us with a smile and served us quickly. Food was great and amazing value for money. Will definitely return.

Good food, great service, can't fault any of it

Beautiful pub garden, lovely and clean..pest free (even with all the sugary kids drinks around) Food was beautiful, bar service was quick and friendly. Facilities clean and tidy and dog friendly. Great experience

We have driven past sooo many times and thought this looked like a lovely pub. Tell you what, we won't drive past again! What a gem! Accommodated us well as on if our party has autism and ptsd, and we're

Arrived at 5.15 for a pre-booked table for 4 adults and 2 children. We were able to order drinks promptly but had to wait a further 30 minutes before someone came to take our order. We then had to wait until 6.35 for our meals to arrive - that’s 80 minutes after our arrival in a pub that was nowhere near full. To cap it all, my meal was unsatisfactory. The pie was luke warm and the vegetables looked as though they’d been dished up and left out as they were cold and tasted dry. The only hot part of the meal that was hot was the underside of the plate. I took it back. I was offered an alternative meal but I declined as I was concerned how long it would take to arrive. I have dined at this pub many times before and have always received good service and been provided with good food.. I just hope that this was a bad day at the office for the Leathern Bottel and that this was just a one off occurrence. Fortunately, I was not billed for the food I returned and there was no service charge added to the bill. Needless to say, I did not leave a tip either.

Wow the food here is incredible way surpassed our expectations fish was wonderfully fresh everything cooked beautifully. Our host Amelie was a delight will definitely come back. Expected it to be standard pub fayre but it’s so much more than this food was incredible! Try it!

Sadly this establishment has gone down hill. It used to be warm which in turn was very welcoming when it was being run by a temporary manager who has, sadly, left. Tonight it was cold, totally understaffed and to be honest my partner & I walked out after one drink. In fairness to the few staff that were working they really were doing their very best. They were friendly but obviously totally overworked and, with the best will in the world, would never be able to deliver a good customer experience due to the lack of manpower. Chef & Brewer really need to address these issues as this used to be a gem of a pub which appears to have been mismanaged and neglected. Again it would seem that it is all about profit over customer satisfaction and repeat business. Until this is addressed I will not be returning any time soon.

Always had great service and food here, so booked for Mothers Day. We came later in the afternoon, and whilst busy, there were empty tables. Waiting staff were good, but the food took a while to arrive and whilst nice, wasn't as hot as it could have been. A bit disappointing.

Very nice food. I would go again

We arrived and were delighted that despite being busy they were able to accommodate a +1 on our table. Our two servers @Amelie and @Alfie were both excellent. Friendly, efficient and chatty. The food was good and not overly pricy and there was a good atmosphere. Ample parking and a good choice of beers. Would recommend Ye Olde Leathern Bottel for a great evening out.

Visited last Friday and was served by Julia. It was busy, but the service was brilliant and Julia was so calm and friendly. Will definitely visit again. Thank you 😁

Dropped in today for a quick lunch. Staff very attentive and friendly, Amy and Harvey I believe. Real log fire felt very welcoming. Will definitely be back

Booked for a party of five ladies, Jamie Leigh was our waitress, she was polite, helpful and very efficient. The food was hot and tasty with good sized portions, all round a very pleasant experience.

Came in last night and had a lovely steak pie. We were served by Julia who was very attentive and friendly as always! Great atmosphere with a real homely feel.

Great meal with the family, our waitress julia was lovely and attentive :)

Unfortunately arrived at 7:00pm and was told there was only Turkey left on the Sunday roast selection , the turkey was nice and plenty of it but would have like a choice

Jamie and Leigh looked after us. Lovely food, good sized portions. Was a little pricey but then again so is everything. Helpful and Great service.

Incredible Sunday dinner, 10/10 for roasties and beef incredibly tender!!! Banging thank you

Servers were very pleasant and friendly, bit up and down when entering the restaurant, the only criticism I could give on the place, is the pathways into the place could do with extra lighting to guide you through the darkness fro the carpets, and all the uneven slabs and walkways to be flat and level

Exceptional Sunday roast (beef on bone) - one of the best I ever had, excellent Tea ale (even if a bit too expensive). Place is being really let down by poorly trained staff, not knowing what to do, not being helpful, not asking for sources / salt / pepper when bringing food. In fact couldn’t find a single shaker of salt anywhere at the pub at all. It was a very chaotic Sunday service, yet the kitchen did the magic with the roast.

we arrived to have a meal saturday lunchtime, it took 45 mins for the food to come out, despite the pub being reasonably quiet, and the food being a simple burger. when the food arrived the squid was dry and the chicken was cold. the chicken burger was lacking in chicken, and the bacon cheeseburger was dull. the burger meat itself was dry and flavourless, the rest of the components were lovely, but the meat made the whole thing dull. definitely NOT worth the wait!

Nice atmosphere and inside and garden area. Staff rude and genuinely unhappy to do their job, Food awfully bland, greasy and just overall a bit underwhelming

Excellent food and service, highly recommend. Jamie - Leigh who served us today was so lovely, thank you ☺️

Molly was great - fitting us in last minute and getting our orders through the kitchen for last orders- thank you!

Jamie was very attentive thanks

Molly was a great server and we has a beautifully cooked meal, great timing and amazing quality Will be back again soon I'm sure!

Brilliant evening and will have to say superb customer service from Julia our waitress. Very knowledgeable and helpful in food selection.

Always a great pub for food and drinks - friendly staff - very clean and tidy 🍷🍻😊😊

Called Sunday morning to book a table for 8 of us for a birthday meal for my daughter, no problem. The chef ( conor) catered for my diet and it was truly delicious. Waiting staff was on hand to top up our drinks checking everything was OK. Also brought out a birthday cake nothing was to much trouble!

We went as a group of 7 for a birthday meal. We often go to the Leathern Bottle because they can make provision for my disabled brother. The staff were all very helpful. The meal was really good; plenty of it, well presented and very tasty.

Small group of us arrived, 5, just as about 15 people left. However, we were told we couldn't be seated - the staff didn't seem to have a basic grasp of the booking system and didn't know if they could take us. We left and went elsewhere. Useless.

How lovely to walk into a warm and cozy pub on a cold, rainy night! Our server Julia was especially lovely and helpful too - thank you, Julia!

Beautiful place, olde worldly, went here for a wake, the food was excellent

We love our monthly breakfast at the Leathern Bottle. Luke always does everything he can to make our experience perfect. Food and service are always top notch.

Wonderful Burns Night menu- soup starter was delicious and thick, haggis was tasty, chicken was moist, hot, and the mash and vegetables were all good. Jamie Leigh was attentive, friendly, paid attention to our party, and never appeared over stressed on such a busy night. The only let down was the desserts- the panna cotta was powdery tasting as if it hadn’t been mixed enough and the Eton mess chocolate mousse was more raspberry than chocolate. Although it was a long wait, bar the dessert the menu was lovely. The chips were very good but the onion rings definitely needed longer in the fryer.

Lovely cosy place, very rustic looking. Service was great and food was well paced ie wasn't rushed but also not waiting for ages. My only little niggle was the main course came with a selection of vegetables of which the broccoli was literally frozen in the middle whereas the rest of the meal was the perfect temp. I'm sure it was an oversight so no major issue but other than that, couldn't fault anything else. Food was cooked to perfection otherwise

Julia and Amerlie gave a wonderful service and we never waited long for our food. It was a genuine lovely atmosphere to celebrate a birthday 😁🙌

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Our host Julia was brilliant, really attentive.

Lovely pub! Our waitress Julia was so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The Sunday roast were fantastic. I will definitely be returning.

Jamie-Leigh was amazing and food was excellent as always!

Screaming kids running around and parents and staff did nothing about it.

The atmosphere was cozy, the service was average and the food was meh. It was all ok.

Lovely meal with friends. Tom was very helpful and cheerful and even learned and remembered our names.

Great local spot to hang out, in winter and summer. Good parking available (although it could do with filling in the potholes)

I came to the Ye Olde Leathern Bottel for a Sunday roast. Lovely food and a great selection of beers on tap. Met the new manager who has really turned the place around. I definitely will be returning.

Was there Xmas day morning and was great service

We recently visited the pub for a celebration meal as we have done several times in the past. Due to a new allergy issue I was concerned it would be difficult for them to cater for us. I went in advance snd spoke to Jamie‐Leigh who was so kind and careful explaining the options to us. It was a busy day (we tried for a quiet time but it is a popular pub!) And Jamie-Leigh made me feel like it was a real priority for us to be able to find suitable food for a complex need. She was really patient and thoughtful and I was so reassured. She even gave us a paper allergen menu to take with us to help. It made a huge difference to our experience when we arrived later and the food was excellent. Took all the stress out of it! Thank you.

The family and I came here for our Christmas Day meal and have to say it was excellent the food was lovely our waitress Alyssa was amazing she definitely helped with making our Christmas Day as special as possible. Overall a great experience will be returning in the new year!

Had a lovely meal here, great service from Julia and the rest of the team. Great value and a brilliant evening all round

I came in and I was welcomed by Luke he was very friendly and polite and very funny and even though they where busy he still kept a smile and me and my family happy and welcomed the service was good and the food was on point and I will be back with more of my guest it was very quick service as everyone who was working thank u all and the chefs

Xmas day with all the trimmings. A good atmosphere with an excellent Xmas meal all properly cooked and of exceptional quality. Our complements to the Chef.

We had a lovely family meal the food was delicious we didn't have to wait long at all despite how busy it was. Our waitress Alyssa was excellent and helped us with any questions we needed, we will definitely be returning

Despite a very busy pre-Christmas lunchtime, great food was delivered in a timely manner by very efficient Rachel. Well done.

Lovely food Very good atmosphere Excellent service I would 100% recommend

Busy Friday night but the service was good with no delay. Very nice food and good size portions. Thanks to Holly for attentive service. It was a little noisy but it's Christmas and everyone seemed happy.

Lovely pub, always a pleasure, had great service and a well poured Guinness by Antonio on the bar who was chatty and smiley. Great spot for food and really nice atmosphere

Food was really nice, good service and nice atmosphere. The manager, Luke, was very welcoming. Looking forward to visiting again.

My family and I came in for a festive meal; our waitress Alyssa was very polite and friendly and able to serve us and answer any questions despite the pub being busy. The turkey on the festive menu was delicious and my partner loved the beef cheeks. We had a lovely time and will definitely visit again.

Great food, very dog friendly! Luke the manager was very welcoming, I will be back for another visit soon.

Popped over for a couple of Christmas drinks. Lucky to be able to just walk across the road to this lovely pub. We were served by a happy, smiley, helpful young man called Antonio!! He was very knowledgeable and able to help me choose the perfect Gin! Excellent service.

Ye Olde Leathern Bottel is a pub with a traditional feel that is very warm and welcoming. The staff are always friendly and today Antonio was particularly helpful in answering my questions and assisting me even though i could see he was busy The meals are excellent with plenty to choose from, I particularly enjoy the pies, or sometimes just a starter or two for something a bit lighter.

Went in for food with friends and had a nice time, very good food (recommended by staff member Antonio) nice location and overall pleasant recommended experience. Makes a change to be served by someone respectful polite and actual knowledge about products available. We will be back.

Great visit last week, Antonio served us at the bar and made great food recommendations! Would visit again

Great service with excellent quality Sunday 3 roast for 2 of us and beef rib for 1. The beef rib was tender and tasty. Deserts of triple chocolate to die for.

Went for a family meal in the evening the food was delicious especially the steak and ale pie our waitress Alyssa was very attentive and friendly we will definitely be returning.

6 of us went on Saturday for my partner's birthday. We were served good food by Jamie- Leigh. It was a lovely atmosphere, thank you.

Have been before and food was lovely, this time not so much. Had squid for starter which, to be honest was a little like chewing a rubber band. Steak was cooked as requested but very tough, chips were 'old'. Fish was good as was the belly pork. Excellent service but sadly will not be returning.

Our local and go-to when eating out. Can always count on the pie, roasts and desserts to be top notch. Atmosphere and service is always great too. Lucy and the team are awesome. P.s: Be sure to get the steak and ale pie (or Mushroom Pie if veggie)!

So we booked breakfast with Santa a few weeks ago, and got the kids hyped up for their breakfast with the big man! What a disappointment for both my kids, my wife and I and grandparents. Let’s be honest here… cold breakfast with a bloke in Nike trainers may be rather more accurate…. The food was cold, the farmers breakfast was quite simply disgusting and I’m not sure how many times the hash browns had been reheated.Soggy cold toast for the kids and one breakfast returned as it was stone cold. I work in the service industry and I would never serve the food that was served to my family. To be told that I’m the only person to complain is hardly service recovery. Yes, the assistant manager only charged us for the kids breakfast and their visit with the bloke in Nikes, but that’s not the point, it’s one Xmas breakfast experience that we won’t get back for our kids.

A smashing traditional pub, it offers good bar snacks or a full table menu. Luke was very welcoming and it was obvious he enjoyed working there. Thank you.

I come here a lot with my elderly friend Pete who’s 91. Lucy, Julia and the rest of the staff are always friendly and cheerful and take really good care of us. You really do get service with a smile here. The pub has a warm cosy atmosphere and the food is good. Thoroughly recommended!

We have had issues with service the last couple of times we have gone but last night was exceptionally good.. Food good. Hannah our waitress was pleasant and attentive

Great food. The meals arrived hot and the portions were a good size. Also, we were served impeccably by Hannah, who was really lovely. Great personality and an excellent representative of the venue. She was attentive without being overbearing, and charming without being over familiar. Pretty much the perfect waitress. She was extremely apologetic about there being no Roast Turkey ( on the festive menu - and there’s a massive Tesco just down the road), as if it was her fault.

Great pub, lovely inside and a big car park! Drinks only

don’t ID young people at the bar. staff very rude and hostile. drinks are a rip off for what you get.

Went for dinner, food was lovely and the service from Alyssa was fantastic, she was really helpful and happy

So hit and miss. Either the food is burnt / cold which follows on with service being terrible. For example went Sat 30th Nov during lunch and food was spot on and the waitress was on the ball. Very busy so that can't be used as an excuse. Went 1st Dec, ordered the same food, the festive Turkey and it took 50 minutes to come, Turkey was actually cold, the yorky and potatoes black burnt. You highlight to a staff member who just looks brainless and genuinely looks like they are trying to figure out how to speak and it was less busy than the day before. Gone for 3 stars as in the middle but when service and food is on point, it is 5 stars!

Food was delicious and well presented

I recommend you book a table asap ! Amazing food ! Amazing service! Feels very welcoming ! I can’t give you a any thing bad to say about this place, 10/10

1st time here, we could not fault the food it was delicious, the service by Alyssa was excellent a very warm welcome and attentive, it was a real pleasure to eat here, thanks to you all.

Great team, fantastic food keep up the great work! Love the Xmas decorations!

Alyssa was great wonderful service

We had a lovely family meal here with excellent service and good food.

Despite being really busy on a Sunday, had amazing service from Julia who despite being off shift towards the end of our visit was still more than happy to make sure we had a great night. Being a regular it's great to see Luke has brought the local pub/restaurant charm and welcome back to this lovely little country pub.

Lovely food, great service by Molly

Lovely food and the service from Molly was fantastic!

Attentive service and excellent food

We had a lovely meal in this atmospheric dog-friendly pub. The food was tasty and piping hot. Our server, Lucy, was friendly and attentive. She could not have done more for us. We’ll certainly be back.

It’s just an English perfect pub! Amazing service and Sunday roast! Thank you Julia!

Absolutely brilliant. Stuffed instantly.
