The Boot - Three Rivers

A very warm welcome, lovely ambience, delicious food, great wines and local beers. After a very long walk for an anniversary lunch we were not disappointed.

We have visited the Boot many times on weekends for lunch while exploring the area. It has always been a reliable spot for a satisfying meal with generous portions and good beer. This time, we tried a crispy beef starter which I found to be a bit disappointing as the batter didn't crisp up as expected. The portion size was larger than anticipated, sometimes less is more, unless you're dining with a hungry teenager of course. For mains, we had a salmon dish that was alright, although my friend questioned the quality of the salmon, and a chicken roast with all the trimmings. The chicken roast was substantial, with a half chicken, a fantastic Yorkshire pudding, vegetables, roast potatoes, and possibly unnecessary stuffing. Everything was decent, but the chicken was slightly dry. I enjoyed two pints of Abbot Ale, which was well poured and delicious. Despite not typically being a fan of Greene King pubs, the beer was enjoyable and well-maintained at the Boot. Service was excellent, although a bit slow initially due to the busy Sunday lunch rush. The couple next to us had been waiting an hour for their food, but we thankfully only had a short wait before our meal arrived. The staff were friendly and upbeat, with impeccable service. I recommend making a reservation at the Boot for a Sunday lunch outing.

Lovely food, great service from Matt and the rest of the team. Really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We would recommend coming here for any occasion.

We recently celebrated our daughters christening at The Boot by hiring the marquee for our family party. It is the perfect venue for any special celebration as it has so much space and in these colder months is fully heated which was a blessing. Adam and Lois went above and beyond during the entire day making sure every one was well catered for. The buffet food was exceptional and all our guests commented on how lovely the venue and all the staff were. Zoe was an amazing help throughout the weeks leading up to the day in helping us plan everything beautifully.

We had a great time at The Boot this afternoon, with my kids enjoying the Easter egg hunt and coloring competition. Our server Ciara made sure they were well taken care of and entertained. The food was delicious, and the service added to our overall enjoyment of the visit. We will definitely return for more family meals at The Boot!
