The Leather Bottle — Restaurant in Colchester

Check in is a little confusing as there are no signs so you just have to venture to the bar and ask. ||Really nice accommodation in a private garden at the rear of the pub. There are only a few of these and they share a really nice private seating area, perfect for outside dining. ||The room was presented nicely, if a little unfinished, but was a bit small. I had to iron my shirt sat on the bed as there just wasn't enough room to stand and do this. ||There was a desk in the room, but no chair.

Felt welcome in the pub, you can choose if you want to go to the saloon bar or sports bar. we went for the saloon bar popular choose as it was busy. Upper dining area there too if you wanted to eat, nice menu selection but was not hungry. Waited a while for drinks but there was only one lady serving so just waited patiently. Lovely selection of drinks . Jack and coke single and Malibu and ginger ale came to £9 so not bad priced. Anyway went to the sports bar room on the other side as there no one was in there , amazing haha . We played pool but there was no white ball but two black balls and missing one red anyway staff tried to help but couldn’t find the balls , so we played with what we had and it was fun anyway. Then played darts for a little bit then left. we was in there for about 40 minutes.Overall I enjoyed myself there. Can’t say I would plan to go back but if I was passing by, I may pop and do...
