Our Story

Where It All Began

In January 2018, André & Rebecca became the new Landlord and Landlady of this historic inn. Determined to bring The Old Boot back to its former glory, they set about launching a new chapter for this well-loved village pub.

Over the last 3 years they have dedicated themselves to building up a reputation as a popular traditional family and community pub that caters for everyone. The pub offers the best in hospitality and is driven by a hands on owner/ manager approach focused on customer connection. Whether you are a local or travelling through, a warm welcome awaits you at The Old Boot.

What People are Saying

“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."
