About Us
Whether you’re visiting us to enjoy a glass or two of wine or local ale or joining us for lunch or dinner, The Old Boot Inn will provide you with a warm, friendly welcome on every occasion. We pride ourselves in exceptional customer service and delicious food.
The Old Boot Inn
The Old Boot Inn has been an integral part of rural life for the community of Stanford Dingley and the surrounding stunning countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are blessed with numerous footpaths and bridleways which makes us a very popular stop with riders, walkers and cyclists as well as families and dogs! We are proudly dog and family friendly and we welcome everyone. We have a wonderful garden and we enjoy providing a convivial environment for you to connect with friends and family and escape the world for a while!
We are a free house which gives us the freedom to choose which drinks we choose to stock and we respond to the local demand and what our customers ask for. We are currently stocking Marlow Brewery IPA and Hawkstone Beer and Ciders. We are striving to provide food that remains true to a traditional British pub whilst also exploring new and exciting dishes. We have a new exciting chef arriving in March and we are looking forward to sharing more news with you soon.

“Great Job Done”
"What a fabulous job the Old Boot has done to work through this crazy time!
The changes & precautions were clear, the staff were friendly as always, the food was great as always - catering for our pescatarian and gluten free eaters. But the additional of a vast outdoor teepee to the garden added to the evening immensely."

“Fantastic food, fantastic venue”
"We had an excellent family dinner in what can only be described as the most beautiful yurt. I can highly recommend the chateaubriand, that was delicious as was the crispy squid. The kids enjoyed their dinner too We will definitely be visiting again."

“What a gem!”
"This was such a lucky (internet search) find. We had a glorious afternoon sat in the perfect pub garden while our children played and Rebecca was a brilliant host arranging afternoon tea and snacks for us. Huge portions, great value, beautiful spot. Seriously impressed. We will be back and heartily recommend to others."
