About Us

Welcome to The Leather Bottle Cobham, a warm relaxing half timbered traditional pub serving modern English cuisine, prepared fresh on site, real ales and fine wines. The Leather Bottle is known to many as Charles Dickens' Favourite Ale House in Cobham, Kent. The great man himself not only used the inn and often stayed in Rooms 2 & 6, but he also featured it in The Pickwick Papers, for it was here that the lovelorn Mr Tracy Tupman fled after being jilted by his sweetheart Rachel Wardle, where he drowned his sorrows in Mr Pickwick's company.

We serve all fresh dishes prepared on site, local where possible, using carefully sourced suppliers. We have our own in house Ale brewed by Shepherd Neame exclusively for us and proudly named Charles Dickens Ale. 

Big changes have happened throughout and our garden is to die for in the summer months, so come down with the family to Mr Bumbles' Bar and enjoy a jug of Pimms to share.
