The Old Boot Inn

Had the most lovely Christmas Day lunch. The food was exquisite, with pre-lunch snacks on the table when we arrived. An old and traditional setting, but in a warm environment and a lovely atmosphere. We were conveniently sat next to the log fire. This pub will not disappoint. Highly recommended. Thank you for proving such a wonderful Christmas Day experience and being part of our memories.

We stumbled upon this pub on a self-guided village tour of Berkshire, and what a gem. Real wood fire and a choice of cozy interior, bright conservatory or pretty garden tables. The two young staff (students?) were so warm and friendly, making us feel at ease immediately. But the highlight was definitely the food - the chef is to be celebrated for his/her attention to flavour and clear passion for the culinary delights. The lamb shank was superbly cooked and the gravy as good as any I've had in top restaurants, the squid rings were crispy and the roasted tomato soup was full of flavour and had a depth that is only achieved by someone who really understands how to build tasty layers. We also appreciated that they kept the kitchen open for us even though we arrived very close to 2pm. Dog friendly.

I came here about 3 months ago and couldn’t believe that they actually cooked my steak rare. It was genuinely the best steak I’ve had in the UK. I came back tonight and was in disbelief that my steak was as perfect as it was before and even better when sat by the gigantic fire. Love! I’ll be back.

Lovely garden with plenty of seating which is a total suntrap (when it's shining!). I had the roast beef delicious apart from the slightly over cooked roast potatoes. Also ordered more drinks and had to remind the waiter to bring them hence the 4 🌟

Delicious food, friendly service and lovely surroundings - what's not to like! Definitely will return.
