Not the best roast I've had

Visited on a whim whilst strolling around the village. I understand covid restrictions are in place currently, but the fact remains still felt rushed. Entered pub and we hadn't booked but asked it they had a table free, told we only have a hour. That's...More

Slow and Salty!

We visited for lunch as a family of 6, booked outside as Covid concerned but as it had no sides and rather blowy decided to sit inside. Service very slow and we couldn’t see how we were going to finish by 3pm the closing time....More

Quite simply none of the above is true. it represents the opinion of a group of very surly people with screaming children who very clearly were not here to enjoy the experience.

A nice traditional village pub with excellent food and a warm welcome

We live relatively close to The Boot Inn and have visited many times over the years and have always enjoyed this small friendly village pub. We were keen to try it out again as a new landlord had recently settled in and we had heard...More
