Having booked the four poster room for a treat as we were meeting friends at the Pub the following day, we then read the reviews with some dismay but decided, due to location,it was easier to go anyway. How glad we are that we did. From the moment we walked into reception we experienced a group of staff who were... More

I have been to The Leather Bottle for years, and as a pub to have a drink in the summer, I couldnt fault it. However, as a resturant, please be aware that the service they give is appauling. We booked the leather bottle for a joint 90th Birthday meal and Mothers day, it was a table booked for 7 adults... More

Okay, so they fitted ten of us in at short notice, but they should have said no if they couldn't accommodate us. We were told over the phone that there would be a half an hour wait for a table and we turned up with 15 minutes of that to go. We had to ask four times before we were... More

This is an outstanding pub, like stepping back in time. A time when Charles Dickens used the same areas after walking from nearby Gad's Hill Place in Higham. The mood and feel of the place is wonderful, tourists and locals alike enjoy the building. We had a simple lunch, one of us taking advantage of the OAP special while I... More

We live locally to The Leather Bottle and it is from the outside, a truly outstanding pub; it did in fact make it onto a Telegraph listing of top 10 pubs with a view at some point in 2010. We have eaten there twice in the last year and I have always commented that the surroundings are lovely, the staff... More

Nice food, but totally awful coffee. I think espresso was made using one of the pre-made bags from the supermarket. Either they tried to blend the dry cream. Shame - put a negative impression on the meal. Other then that stuff was friendly, but may be slightly slow due to the new years day. Loved my lamb and definitely will... More

My partner and I had a meal at this pub on 1st December 2011. It was the worst pub meal I have ever eaten, or to be accurate, not eaten as my main course was inedible. We started with cheesy garlic bread which had clearly been partly warmed in a microwave and the cheese had not melted. My main course... More
