   Lovely homely pub, good for kids, great for dogs, I could have spent all evening there, chilling in the teepee on the sofa with my furry friends.

   Disappointed to have had to wait almost 45 minutes for our main when others who had arrived after us were served before us. An explanation would have been helpful. I don’t think the food was deserving of the price and the deserts were disappointing. Sadly we won’t be visiting again.

   Brought my family here for my wife's Birthday celebration. It was lunch time. The food was very good as was the service (with a smile). Thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Will definitely come back.

    This is a lovely old character pub/restaurant. We sat in the airy conservatory in the sunshine and had a lovely lunch. The garden has a large canopy with comfy seating too which looked enticing for a summer evening. The food was tasty and the service was friendly and quick. I hadn't been here for several years, but I am glad my friend suggested we go there. I'll be back.

    Bank Holiday Braii We enjoyed it so much. The Old Boot Inn is super family friendly with the play equipment and large outside garden. The food was delicious and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. One of our children had a bump to the head and they were so helpful, quickly getting some ice and checking everything was ok. Above and beyond what we expected. Thank you

    Very busy Sunday lunch service. Staff coped well and brought drinks promptly but inevitably we did have a significant wait for food. When it came it was worth the wait - beautifully cooked pork and beef, with extra gravy and Yorkshire puds brought without asking. Good selection of vegetables too. Dogs made very welcome!

    superb food, very quiet (I think we were the only diners in the Pub, but it was Thursday lunchtime). The staff came to stoke up the log-burner to warm the room and provided good service.

    We enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast dinner. The portion size was very generous and our only comment would be that that roast potatoes were a bit crispy for our taste. The service was good for a busy lunchtime and we would return again.

    Food not as good as on our last visit 3 weeks ago. The requested extra gravy did not come until asked for again. My wife asked for extra sauce with her sticky toffee pud but all the chef had done was add some boiled water to make her serving go further which meant that the consistency was lost. Coffee was lukewarm. But to counter this a word of praise for Molly, our server, who kept calm and smiled throughout!

    Food was excellent - had the lamb (worth every penny). Would have been 5* across the board if the till had worked properly and the soup spoon had been placed on the table rather than dunked in the soup - it was hilarious though. Staff super friendly and attentive without being overpowering.

    The place is lovely and welcoming. And dog friendly. This time I was rather disappointed by the overall experience though. We ordered 2 x roast beef and an iron cooked steak. We waited 1h and a half before we got our food and the roast potatoes were not nice. They tasted like frozen and somewhat stale. I’m not sure I’ll go again.

    We had to e reseated as we had been allocated a table in a tepee which was cold so our table was not ready. The pub was cold and none of the staff wore masks while all the clients coming in did. The food was not cheap but was average I do not like battered fish with skin left on. Service was slow although the pub was quite empty. We asked to pay but we’re not told that there was a problem with the till until we went to enquire after waiting for ages. That was not their fault but they could have told us as we had a long journey home which was delayed by this.

    When it’s cold outside, doors need to be kept shut. I appreciate the dining area at the back is now a corridor from the kitchen to the marquee, but you need to fit closers on the doors or remind staff to close doors behind them. Despite sitting by the fire, it was very cold and we had to keep closing the doors behind waiting staff. Similarly, you need to put some heating in the toilets. Otherwise, we love the ambience of this old pub and the way you’ve kept the character alive and not going all poncey like some other nearby pubs.

    Disappointed with eating in the tent, it was cold & draughty, the sliding door came off its runner while we were inside & the staff rarely closed it fully. Overall the food was not great & poor value for money. I had the soup which was the best part of the meal followed by Chicken Holstein Escalope which was tough & the chips tasteless, they were hot but most people prefer a chunkier sort of chip - not the matchstick thin ones served. I have eaten at the Old Boot there several times when it was an enjoyable experience to eat either out in the garden or in the pub, maybe you have over expanded your food by not expanded the kitchen facilities?
