The Boot Inn

Called in while on a walk for a light lunch. Unfortunately there was no gluten free sandwich options on the menu, asked if they had any GF bread and was told no sorry. Wife had a sandwich which was fine, but unfortunately unless I wanted to order one of the two option from the main menu there was nothing else suitable.

Previously good pub grub has gone downhill. Have had great pub food here in the past with excellent service. Visited recently and found was pretty awful and poor value. Beef casserole with rosemary just doesn’t work! Food overpriced. Seem to have new young staff inadequately trained. Wine was cheap but poor; how hard is it to get a reasonable Shiraz. Such a shame as it’s a lovely spot for a walk and cosy warm pub after!

Having enjoyed many very nice meal over the years this visit was very disappointing. We had booked the Festive Menu only to be informed when we ordered that there was No Turkey left, and we were asked to have another look at the menu, whilst we were doing that the server returned and informed us that the Chef had found 2 portions of Turkey, We ordered the Turkey that was the mistake what we got was a warmed up dry Turkey Dinner with deep fried (Roast Potatoes) It was not a good meal and it will take a lot for js to return to the Boot.

Party of 6 four of us had good choices of lunch and were enjoyed. Two of us chose hake and sea bass from the specials . The fish were very good, but small. The vegetables, kale and boiled potatoes, were very inadequate kale is cheap to buy and two tiny potatoes cut in halves are likewise. I chose the cheeseboard to fill up on, and that was excellent and generous, in contrast to the tiny veg.portions!

Great food and service, didn't have a beer this time as I was driving
