Welcome to
The Leatherbottle
We are a Free House Gastropub based in the historic picturesque village of Blackmore in Essex.
After purchasing the pub in October 2015 we closed the doors in Jan 2016 for 2 months for a full refurbishment. We re-opened on the 1st of March 16 for drink sales only while we completed the restaurant. Our chefs then got busy perfecting our menu ready for the kitchen to open in March 2018. A warm welcome is a guarantee from the friendly management and staff, the pub offers a comfortable bar area with an award winning selection of Real Ales, Ciders and Lagers, fine wines from around the world and over 50 gins to choose from. With ample parking and a beautiful walled garden The Leatherbottle is the perfect venue for any occasion.
