The pub has a cosy snug bar in which to enjoy a drink before sampling some of the culinary delights on offer. The cuisine is a blend of European and traditional English. All our meals are made from fresh local produce and the emphasis is on freshly cooked, which may mean a brief wait but as with everything that's good, it's well worth the wait.

Sarah, the owners daughter, franchises the restaurant and ensures that the quality of food and service is always of the highest standard and invites you to visit her at the Leather Bottle the next time your looking to dine out in this pretty part of the Essex countryside.

The table settings are delightful and with a wonderful airy conservatory leading out to a spacious en closed garden, you couldn't ask for more.

Food is available 7 days a week both lunchtime and evenings. On Sundays you can enjoy a traditional Sunday roast with all the family and take advantage of the amenities that the Leather bottle has to offer.
