As a local I use the Boot and Shoe on a regular basis for a drink and dine there at least once a week.

Ate here on 30.5.13 with four friends doing the C2C cycle challenge (our first night). We booked a table here eight weeks in advance for 8 p.m. We eventually sat down for our meal (after pestering the staff) at 8.45 p.m. with no apology by the owner, who showed us to our table. She then left us with no menues,... More

Call in here on our way back to our lodge for a meal wasn't sure we'd get in as 7 of us, the place was packed to the rafters but yes they would find us a table and sure enough we got one, it was very cosy as we were in the snug but still very nice, didn't have to... More

We do accept that the pitch of the ceiling would make the installation of one very difficult and it didn't spoil our stay. The food at dinner was... More

Stayed here on Sunday Night before a business meeting in Penrith on the Monday morning. Great room and staff. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Slept very well and was nicely refreshed for Monday morning. Would happily stay here again in the future for both business or pleasure.

Was playing at this establishment with my band and with it being a fair distance away decided to book a room.Couldn't have made a better choice, the pub was fantastic and the owners Ben and Jan and their family were so freindly and welcoming along with all the locals we met. The food was much better than most posh nosh... More

This is the second time this has happened to me in this pub, I should have learnt my lesson on the first occasion but there certainly will not be a third! I live in Penrith (5 miles away) but traveled to the Boot and Shoe for dinner and the pub quiz on a Thursday night. Arrived at 730pm (quiz started... More
