Leopard, Nantwich

A large Joules pub a little to the east if the town centre. A multi space interior with a large outdoor space to the rear of the car park. There's a big restaurant at the back, the front is split into several seating areas with a mix of seat styles. The counter is rear right and has a range of Joules beers on five pulls with their keg beers on higher T-bars and national standards on low ones. Decor involves a lot of honey coloured wood, stone and stained glass, the stuffed animal heads may not suit all tastes. It has the usual Joules signs dotted about. The ceilings are decorated with leopard heads, the Joules cross symbol and the brewery name. There’s a couple of big screens, one tastefully hidden behind wooden doors.

The entrance of the Leopard leads to a public bar with high tables, a television that was showing cricket via Sky Sports and a snug to the left. The main bar through to the right faces seating under the large leaded bay windows. In the right rear is a dining area that also includes a large booth under the rear window that looks onto the beer garden. This beer garden has a patio with picnic tables and a marquee. Beyond is a raised lawn with more picnic tables. This pub is advertised outside as the Joules Brewery tap, so I wasn’t surprised to find their Pale Ale, Pure Blonde and Slumbering Monk available alongside Beer Club 1003 and Weston’s Rosie Pig Strawberry Cider. A premium keg range is also available alongside Carling. This is a decent pub that’s worth a look.

Pub is well described below , quiet on my mid week early lunchtime visit , five handpulls with three given over to Joules (dull to my taste) beers , one to Stockport Ginger and the other to Rosie Pig cider . I enjoyed my brief visit here .
