Strongers . left this review about The Leopard
The Leopard is a large single roomed open plan drinking barn that could easily be mistaken for a Wetherspoons, that is if the televisions throughout airing Sky Sports and Racing TV, Phil Collins playing in the background, the photobooth, and the pool table and two dartboards at the rear are ignored. There’s a mix of seating either side of the central entrance across the front and also up the right opposite a tiled wooden topped serving counter that supports standard and premium keg alongside Neck Oil and three hand pumps, two of which were in use drawing Saltaire Brewery’s Blonde and Raspberry Blonde. The service was polite, but the vastness of the interior absorbs any atmosphere. That said, this pub does have everything one would want from a high street boozer, so I wasn’t surprised to find it relatively busy during a recent midweek late afternoon visit.

A JDW alike without the ale selection. One very large room with various seating options including comfy sofas and standard dining tables. There's a pool table at the top end of the room which was being well used during our visit. Three handpumps with two of them badged, one with Wainwright and one with a Weetwood beer. The Weetwood was in decent nick.

Opened June 15th by Amber Taverns in an ex Bonmarche retail shop. One very large room to rival the Wetherspoon directly opposite! There are 3 handpumps but only one was in use selling Wainwright Amber. Several large screens were showing both football and cricket. Very quiet on a Tuesday lunch compared to nearby pubs.
