Service
Pros:
"The service was amazing from beginning to end. Attentive without being intrusive."
"Charley our waitress was extremely friendly and welcoming a credit to the Boot."
"What I really liked is that everyone worked together as a team there, helping each other serve and clear away, checking we were ok for drinks and that we were happy with everything."
"Our waiter was amazing, I have a very fussy daughter that likes her cocktails just right. And I must say he made them perfect."
"Service was swift and friendly."
"Ashley, Caroline, Matty and Liam looked after us brilliantly."
"Our server, Ashley, was lovely and gave us top notch service and everything was ordered and brought out in good time."
Cons:
"The service was poor, although the staff were not rude they were inattentive and lacked the knowledge a waitress has to ensure good customer service."
"Service was very slow but the staff very friendly."
"Really rubbish service for a Monday lunch."
"Visited Sunday lunchtime which was bustling but not overly busy. Waited 45 mins for a main meal."
"The service wasn't up to the same standard as the food."
"Service is absolutely lacking, from no greeting on arrival, no upselling or offer of 2nd drinks/puds etc."
"We had trouble getting someone to greet us for a table just like last time."

Pros:
"The food was nothing short of exquisite."

"The food was fantastic and the staff all very attentive and helpful."
"Had a fantastic experience at The boot for my son 21st. The buffet was amazing."
"The food was very well presented and cooked to perfection with serving size just right!"
Cons:
"All the veg.dishes served uncooked...sent all back and served the replacement...same uncooked veg.again."
"The pork belly was quite frankly disgusting - it looked more like pigs cheek that hadn't been rendered down."
"The prices have risen quite steeply and the quality of the food has plummeted."
"The food was on a par with the harvester just up the road, but cost a great deal more."
"Old chicken, dry, no parmesan and no dressing."
"The chicken had the appearance of being days old and was dry."

Atmosphere

"Lacks any real atmosphere."
"Firstly, it was extremely dark inside."
"A little bit gloomy for my taste, not good when you want to read the menu!"
Value for Money
Pros:
"But the real thanks go to the chefs Liam and matt whilst we looked at the menu and thought it was a bit pricey for the size of the portions that we saw coming out whilst looking at the menu the price doesn't come close to the quality of the food it was like eating at a Gordon Ramsay type restaurant."
"For anyone who wants a nice country pub lunch, a date or for a special occasion, The Boot Inn really is a great place and I would highly recommend."
"Great food, served at a good price."
"Drinks fairly priced and the service was very good."
"The food was delicious, perfect portion sizes so we left feeling satisfied and not stuffed."
"Food is fantastic, with a great range on the menu."
"Reasonably priced for the quality delivered."
Cons:
"For the price paid and what we had expected given previous visits we were left very disappointed."
"Food was good but honestly so small portions that we stayed hungry after the 3 course meal."
"The prices have risen quite steeply and the quality of the food has plummeted."
"The price of the alcoholic drinks was ludicrous, especially compared to other restaurants we have visited recently."
"The pork belly that my wife ordered had to be returned and replaced as it was literally just a lump of fat."
"It's not the cheapest of pubs and this is pure penny pinching. Even the staff agreed."
"Pleasant staff, Food Portions rather small in contrast to the price."
