Visited the Boot and shoe twice during my week staying at nearby Whitbarow village. The first visit was a busy Sunday afternoon when they have live music on.. Lovely couple of hours chatting with other holiday makers, enjoying the music and the Rhubarb Gin! Returned to partake of the food early Friday evening (booked a table which is advisable as its a small, very popular pub) having seen the food on our first visit. The menu is not massive choice but the food is good quality and home cooked.. The Lasagne portion is huge and so tasty and the steak burger took some beating! Thoroughly enjoyed the food but sadly had no room for dessert.. Which also looked amazing! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and I would definitely recommend a visit (including food) to anyone visiting the area!
Had a lovely meal here last night, family, dog and just generally a people friendly place. We were staying in a cabin nearby so read the great reviews on here and TripAdvisor so booked a table in the bar area, good job as all tables were booked for an 18.00 and then a 19.30 sitting. Fantastic olde world pub that's been around since 1500s, cosy bar area that's dog friendly and some of the most customer friendly bar and waiting staff I've ever come across, really made us feel welcome, as did the locals, really friendly.
Food was cooked fresh, only waited 20mins though and came hot and tasted excellent, great choice for all tastes including meat-eaters, fussy eaters, vegetarian, Grill Menu and specials, even the kids menu looked appealing. Deserts were to die for, tiramisu Creme brûlée was as good as I've eaten anywhere and I mean that. Out the back is a superb beer garden with huge barbecue area, it must be brilliant on a hot summers day, they also have live music most weekends and they do B&B. Can't fault this place and its worth a detour off the M6 as only 10mins from jct 40.
THANK YOU we will be back next time we are in the area.
Fantastic food in a lovely setting. Quirky Tarzan memorabilia lined the walls, lovely beer garden out the back where the kids played giant Jenga. Helpful friendly staff that sorted a space for our party of 16 at short notice on a bank holiday Monday. I can thoroughly recommend the sandwiches and chips, but everyone's food looked lovely.
A hidden gem.
