BOOT & SHOE INN

Boot & Shoe Inn is like that understated friend who somehow always delivers. It’s not flashy, but the food is solid and the atmosphere is classic English pub—think cozy fire, a good selection of ales, and a vibe that says 'sit back and relax'. Their Sunday roast has a bit of a following, though some patrons have reported less-than-stellar experiences, like dry beef and a Yorkshire pudding that seemed more like a sad pancake. But if you stick to the pub classics, there’s a good chance you’ll leave happy.

So while the quality can fluctuate—especially on busy days—it’s a great spot for a casual meal or a post-walk pint. Just avoid the Sunday dinner if you don’t want to risk a culinary face-plant.
