Boot & Shoe Inn

We didn’t book a table for food but luckily as we arrived before food was about to start we managed to get a table. I would advise to book if you definitely want a table as it was quite busy when we went. The food was lovely with good sized portions. Unfortunately we were too full to try the puddings. The staff were very friendly.

If you are vegan or just enjoy plant based food then forget this pub ! Negative... the curry I had dished up to me cost £18 for a plate of peas, cauliflower, rice, smidge of pepper and very mundane curry flavour ! No chutney, no plant based naan, very bland food and not worth £18 at all! Positively I did raise this with staff and the owner did seem concerned and apologised giving a refund. Rest of the party eating meat enjoyed! No plant based milk alternative.. service not great but very busy.. one member of staff pretty rude tbh! Good music and lively atmosphere. Lovely village and pub!

We arrived at the boot & shoe on an arranged C2C bike ride. Upon arrival we were not really sure where to store our bikes for the night and had to find somewhere ourselves. We were given the key to our room which was clean and cosy with a great shower and much appreciated hairdryer. Once in the bar area we settled in with a few board games and some good beer. Food was good and the bar staff very obliging. We had a comfortable night and were very much looking forward to breakfast which was very enjoyable with good quality ingredients……unfortunately, we did feel as though we were a nuisance to the lady that served us….maybe she was having a bad day…we are sorry about that but it did result in us being rather glad to leave what could have been an excellent stay.

Arriving on C2C on a wet afternoon were greeted by a helpful barman who helped us store our bikes. The room was quite compact and I would agree with previous reviewers 'tired' with nowhere really to hang anything or bedside tables. The evening meal was great with friendly staff. Breakfast was quite different with miserable staff and landlady who put a damper on the whole day with her weather forecast. Thankfully it proved incorrect but not what you want to hear when you're about to cycle 60 miles over the Pennines!

Lovely pub, very clean, staff were very friendly and ensured everyone was served in turn despite some clientele obviously being locals and some visitors to the area, which was good. We had the fortune to have good weather and sat at the front one day and in the lovely beer garden at the back another day. Would love this as my local pub and will definitely go back if we are in the area.

Stayed here on our first night stop of the coast to coast. Evening meal and beers were beautiful. Landlady and chef were very welcoming, rooms were clean and comfortable. Outside beer garden is a great size and lovely in the sun. Would highly recommend anyone to stay in this beautiful village,
