Walk through the doors and you’re greeted with a warm welcome (families and dogs included—just keep the pups on a lead and the kids out after 8pm), a laid-back vibe, and some serious beer credentials. The bar boasts nine craft taps, cleverly retrofitted into old Watneys Red Barrel fonts—yes, you read that right. It turns out you can get a good beer from a Watneys font! These taps pour a rotating selection of independent craft beers, lagers, and ciders that cater to seasoned hop heads and casual sippers alike.
If cask is more your thing, you’re in luck. The Leopard keeps a minimum of five real ales on at all times, supporting the best of local and national breweries. There’s a proper sense of pride here in what they pour, and it shows.
Beer aside, the fridges are a treasure trove of UK craft beer cans, bottled gems, and five traditional box ciders. Whether you’re sitting by the log fire in winter or catching the sun in their surprisingly tropical courtyard, there’s a spot (and a drink) for every mood.
Throw in a fortnightly pub quiz on Wednesdays at 7:30pm, and you’ve got yourself a proper community spot that’s all about good beer, good food, and good company. No booking needed—just get there early to nab a table. Open seven days a week, The Leopard nails the balance between cozy tradition and craft-forward passion. Whether you’re after a quiet pint, a snack in the sun, or a fridge full of take-home treasures, this pub delivers.
