    Delicious food. Extremely slow service throughout. This was mentioned when paying but there was zero response.

    Last minute booking and a charming pub, limited menu but cooked to order and fresh. Mains and puddings were very good portions. Fish and chips and the burgers just felt slightly limited in flavour and seasoning which holds it back from five stars. Two adults, two teens and an under five. £156 including the tip and a drink each

    Went there for a Sunday roast and was not disappointed. We were seated next to the cosy fire. Service was great, food delicious, and the ambience and character of this old pub was marvellous.

    We had a fantastic Sunday lunch recently at the Old Boot Inn with a group consisting of 4 adults and 4 children. The playground outside is a massive bonus point. Apart from a minor hiccup with 1 of the kids meals all of the rest was delicious. A lovely, cosy country pub.

    The most yummy soup on a cold damp day, followed by a beautifully cooked blade of beef, with congenial, attentive service. The 8 clean plates said it all. Excellent value for superbly cooked food.

    Lovely proper old country pub, the food was amazing all three courses, the chef came out and chatted about the food and both he and the barmaid were both really warm and friendly. Will definitely visit again
