About us

The Leather Bottle is an historic pub that has been serving fine ales to loyal customers for over 300 years. A firm fixture on Garratt Lane, we have hosted events of significance from the Mayor of Garratt elections to restaurant pop ups. We started small, as an inn and hostelry, with a blacksmith attached to the side of the building, and from there we have developed and grown through the years, adding a room here, a restaurant there and we now boast the biggest and (in our opinion!) best pub garden in London, as well as being a firm destination venue in South West London.

Truly a pub for all the seasons with a fantastic event space inside and out, we can accommodate all manner of events from birthdays and christenings to team meetings or lunches. Our friendly party planners are on hand to make sure you have everything you need for a stress free gathering.

We went there once when the new manager took over and we were completely ignored. A woman decided to have her lunch with her big headphones in the restaurant where we were sat and everyone seemed to laugh and joke around with a complete disregard that there are paying customers a few feet away. We said something and we were told to come back as it would be better in a few weeks, so we did. This time we came with a bigger group and the waiter was quite stuck up when I asked if there’s an entirely new team. He proceeded to tell me that the new manager sacked everyone because they were lazy and that he’s the best manager there is and that he has a reputation for turning around badly ran pubs. I sat there listening in shock as I told him that it wasn’t that badly run because the pub was constantly packed and the previous manager, she had won manager of the year from all of the pubs in the country. He said that they are going to refurbish because the pub is run down and the new manager really pushed for a new look so that it would attract more customers. Well, as a long standing customer of the leather bottle, I will give it one more try when it reopens but I would seriously be watching the type of the staff they have hired that talk badly about previous managers and staff. Not something you say openly and seem so proud of to paying customers who actually used to enjoy coming to the pub. My experience with him left quite a sour taste in my mouth. If the managers are reading this, I can describe exactly what he looks if they want to know.

Went here b4 Wimbledon v swindon football match. Service was quick & staff were very friendly. The only slight downside was price of my beer at £7.10 a pint but saying that I surpose it is normal prices for London.

We had a great time at the Leather Bottle last night, we went for the pub quiz which was really fun and inclusive. The quiz itself covered a number of topics with realistic general knowledge questions. The quiz master was a really nice chap and very clear and engaging through the rounds. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and much larger than expected, lovely friendly staff and a great selection of drinks. The pub is also super dog friendly and there's a huge garden to the rear.

We reserved a last minute tabel. Orders where taken quicky but was mixed up and some of the food and drink took ages to come. Nice big lovely pub with loads of seating outside. Staff where very friendly and the pub had a relaxed atmosphere.
