Outstanding service, tasty food! You can’t ever fault them

We were celebrating my anniversary and, when asked by our waitress, also mentioned that our daughter had a birthday in a few weeks. When our afternoon tea arrived, it was accompanied by two plates - Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday in two weeks. Amazing staff, beautiful gardens, great food and a terrific place to spend an afternoon.

Lovely village pub. Very friendly staff, excellent service. There was a bit of a wait for our main meal but it was Father’s Day, lots of happy family’s there. The food was excellent. Car park with plenty of parking opposite the pub. We will definitely be going back and would recommend The Old Boot.

A truly lovely experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The staff were exceptionally well-trained and the one who served us stood out for being both knowledgeable and genuinely pleasant. He deserves a recognition! (I wish I have remembered his name) Their attention to detail and friendly approach made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was flawless, you can’t fault the styling at all. The chef was awesome on this. We also really appreciated that our request to make the occasion a bit special for my spouse’s birthday was thoughtfully accommodated, it made the celebration even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Broadly I found the food I sampled - two courses (fish starter and meat main) - to be in alignment with the thrust of previous reviews, and to be in very good order. Portions were generous, including the bread given as an adjunct to one's core order. The chosen accompanying wines also went down very well, from a decent list (they only had 1 dessert offering but this was at least a moreish Monbazillac, which subbed for a real dessert pretty well). The service was superb, although perhaps I should qualify this with an expectation that it really should've been, given my visit was on a Monday evening in late February and for a good 3/4 of my time in the restaurant, there were literally no other customers besides me! I do hope this reflected the time of year etc more than the perceived or experienced qualities of the establishment. As far as I could tell, I am confident that was likely the case. Once a few additional punters did arrive - quite late on, possibly post-University commitments in most cases - the atmosphere livened up and it felt a little less isolated! I felt some were likely regulars with their own tables. The ambience as directed by the design and decor though was excellent even when I was alone in the place - I even sent a pic of it to a friend with the caption "this is how I'd like my front room done"! It is very trad, classic, in keeping with the delightful building, with no unpleasant minimalism or stark modern intrusions - that is how I like things anyway - and felt very comfortable.
