Boot & Shoe Inn

The restaurant was cozy and welcoming, the girls serving were so lovely. We had a fish & chips and a cumberland sausage, it was truly the best food we’ve ever tried! Will be back when we’re back in the area!

This place is NOT Disabled friendly, fitting a wheelchair in is virtually impossible without hitting tables and chairs and the male toilets are upstairs so impossible for wheelchair users like me to use. The staff are lovely but the food is terrible I’m sorry to say I didn’t enjoy one bite and left feeling disappointed and hungry. Not a great experience would not go again.

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!
