I completely agree with comment made before my review (March 2024). I have visited the Boot for many years...not on a regular basis, but a few times a year. When I last called in, I was very surprised by the way my friend and I were spoken to. The person concerned was sarcastic, rude and how she is employed in a customer service role, I do not know. This is such a shame as it's a lovely pub, the food has always been enjoyable, and other younger members of staff are always polite, approachable and have a smile for the customer. They give the impression they enjoy working there, unlike the person that dealt with us. It's such a shame but I will not be visiitng again!
I came into this place after a long dog walk to grab a drink, I asked if it was okay to have dogs in here and got told by a blonde haired lady yes along as your in the snug area bar area, which she didn’t show where the snug area or bar was, while she was on her mobile phone. While another girl was messing about with her hair more than 3 times!The atmosphere in this place was uncomfortable, I didn’t feel welcome at all. They was continuously was swearing to the each other. However a young lad behind the bar was nice and polite wish I could say it about the rest.
Only had a drink on this occasion, but loved the feel of the place and will definitely return to eat. Had both a real fire and stove, so great for the cosy atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating areas, so well catered for all ways around. Assume it gets pretty busy in high season, so maybe adjust your prep booking accordingly. UPDATE 21 04 2024 The food is fantastic too. Reasonably priced and very tasty. The skin on skinny fries are perfect!
Lovely pub, helpful attentive waiting on staff, tasty food then as the saying goes one bad apple spoilt the whole experience. I believe this person was the manager, or at least appeared to be, she was extremely confrontational, rude and quite honestly should not be front of house. I felt like an irritation and an convenience to her day. She ruined a perfectly pleasant visit.

Great little country pub. The food was excellent and the staff great. The only reason I awarded a 3 for the atmosphere is fue to the pub being empty, which was a shame for the pub and staff especially as the food was lovely. Definitely be back for a walk with the dog and a Sunday roast
Lovely pub, friendly staff, great beers, beautiful location and two toasty, cozy wood fires. Food is very good but maybe a little on the expensive side for what it is.
Old fashioned traditional English pub serving excellent food and excellent beers
Mike is a brilliant publican. Fantastic traditional atmosphere and great food.
