The Leather Bottle in Chelmsford

On Saturday 11th June (2022) we went to Plesey, and ended up in The Leather Bottle public house. Two guys outside started speaking to us and we ended up talking about Colchester where we had something in common.We went inside this small dark bar and was included in the banter. Needless to say we were the last to leave, but asked to go back, which we will. It was a very enjoyable evening (especially as we didn't get there until 9pm. You can blame the driver (Mark) for that. He had been driving around (in circles) We met a lovely group of people and made very welcome.We certainly look forward to seeing them again, and continue where we left off.Below is a picture of myself & James.

Lovely little village pub, very friendly staff.

Clean, fast and friendly service.

Good plain pub food and choice of good bitters on tap and great service, all in a lovely village pub.

During our posthumous '2018 Ridley's Round' 14 mile walk/pub-crawl, we stopped off at 'The Leather Bottle'. I'd only been in the beer garden before (after running the Pleshey half-marathon) Very welcoming landlady. Loved the beer, and the very welcomed open fire. She even made our designated driver a filter coffee 'on the house'. Very, very kind and thoughtful of her.

Great garden space, protected from wind and covered areas if raining. Very friendly service and great beer. We were doing a walk around the Chignals and the pub was just about halfway.

The only pub in the village of Pleshey. We had coffee before setting off on our walk but not before we placed our orders for Sunday roast. Landlord was very pleasant, chatty and accomodating. On our return our lunch was ready and was delivered to our table by very pleasant staff. All in all we had a very good day out. Thank you Leather Bottle staff 😊👍

Nice little pub in Pleshey. Good sized garden, ideal for these times. Excellent pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord & my wife was equally impressed with the Villa Maria sav blanc. So many pubs sell cheap Chilean sav b, but charge the same price as a decent one.....

Lovely little pub, good selection of drinks, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

Friendly, family friendly and great chips!First time we had been here and we were warmly welcomed. They went out of their way to do us some food even though they didn't have anyone in the kitchen at that point. Really accommodating.
