Restoration

The Leopard was built on the site of a previous tavern in 1834, the name recognising the animal as the ultimate trophy for Victorian big game hunters. It was rebuilt by Taylor Walker in the style of a hunting lodge in 1936 and refurbished by Joules in 2012, retaining its old leaded windows. A further refurbishment in 2023 has created a new room with Post Office memorabilia and an extensive conservatory to extend capacity. It is open plan with several distinct drinking areas; the former tap room is now styled as a sports bar. Varnished wood panelling, brickwork and grand fireplaces predominate. Stained glasswork depicts the big five game animals and there are antique sporting trophies and African shield designs on the walls, design flourishes that pay homage to the pub's roots.
