    One of my favourite little getaways when i go home. Situated in the middle of some of the most…read morepicturesque Hampshire countryside it makes an excellent lunch stop for cyclists walkers and anyone just out whiling away the hours. They recently went through a heavy makeover of the restaurant and now the look really matches the food. They've kept the comforting pub bar and quiet corners but also installed a family friendly restaurant area that opens onto an impressive beer garden with a two story Wendy house! But to return to the more important aspects of having a restaurant, the food is really good. The service is fast and every time i've gone they've been incredibly friendly. I've even blundered into a quiz night by total chance which was really well run (though i might be saying that as i won a bottle of wine!). Friendly, affordable, good quality, i forgot to mention the beer but there are some fine ales and bitters as well as the standard fair on tap. Good for families but also a really nice place to just sit and take your ease for a while. a real country retreat of a pub.

    Delicious menu, with specials each night…read more The interior is lovely, and all freshly done up, with beautiful tables, upholstered chairs and interesting things on the walls. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and the service is brilliant. I love the wine list, but I'm being torn away from making my way through that to try their excellent range of spirits!! They have a green and relaxing beer garden with a cool looking hut for kids (no more salt and vinegar crisps and cola by a fireplace! ), and even their own veggie patch where they grow a few herbs for the kitchen. I wish I lived closer!

    The setting and service were amazing from the beginning. Following our initial "wow, this place is…read moreamazing" we were served amazing food! The chorizo, the asparagus, the meat pie and the steak sandwich were so gooooood! Then we decided to have some pudding with toffee caramel. Amazing!

    The Leather Bottle used to be a bikers pub but has been taken over by a chain called Bluebeckers…read moreand has been modernised throughout. I visited for lunch yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised, I had been expecting it to be the usual pub chain blandness but it was lovely, full of character. The Leather Bottle is in a nice quiet setting, the outdoor area is spacious and would be gorgeous in the summer. Inside the decor is modern and comfortable with two large dining areas and a small cosy bar area. We sat in the first dining area on the right as you go in the front door. First impression is the delicious smell of good food and the wood burning heater that was nice and warm on a chilly day. The menu is a good range of traditional pub fare (burgers, cottage pie, sausage and mash) and the more unusual (Roquefot, spinach and pear salad with raspberry dressing). We went for the fantastic value lunchtime deal of £8.95 for a starter and main from a selection of the menu, two of us had the spicy vegetable soup with two big chunks of fresh bread each to start (thick, fresh and not too spicy to scare the in-laws!) and two had potato skins which come with guacamole and salsa or bacon and sour cream (the bacon comes as freshly cooked rashers not some horrible diced up processed mixture). For our mains we had a burger and huge chunky chips (the burger unfortunately was very overcooked), cottage pie, gravy & veg (it looked lovely) and I had the cherry tomato cassoulet with haloumi which was absolutely gorgeous. The waiting staff are friendly and attentive enough without being annoying or intrusive. My only complaint was the drinks, I had a diet coke which was foul. It tasted really cheap and nasty like own brand supermarket coke.

    We enjoyed a family dinner here with some friends on a cold winter Saturday night. The atmosphere…read morewas excellent. We occupied a corner table next to one of the fireplaces -- not gas -- real wood. Even with all the noise the children were making on this occasion we didn't feel as though we were really disturbing other pub goers because of the layout. The staff were extremely kind and friendly towards us...sometimes babies help this cause. The food was average. The steak burger my wife ordered was lacking hope of flavour, but the house Merlot was excellent (I didn't catch the name). The lasagne contained real chunks of beef, but the pasta was cooked quite right. The rocket on the side was wonderfully spicy. They brought out a special plate of plain noodles on the side for our girls. When they brought out the wrong side, beans, for the children's meal they seemed shocked they got it wrong, however they were quick to correct it and bring out peas. Some of their other special for evening meal included venison, sea bass and moroccan lamb. It cost about 38 pounds for 2 main meals, 1 childrens meal, 1 side, 1 desert, 2 alcoholic beverages and 1 bottle of apple juice.....which I believe is fairly average. I would consider coming here again, though maybe next time we might stick to a drink and dessert.

    Good food and a lovely garden for the kids to play in. Sadly, the kids drinks are far too…read moreexpensive, but otherwise it's an excellent place for lunch and a pint.
