where do I start......... super friendly staff where nothing is too much of a problem! the food; well OMG, my wife had Liver, mash and gravy it took her back to childhood, my children had Gammon, egg and chips, what a healthy portion. I had the Pie chips and gravy, the Pie was like a door wedge, which fell apart in my mouth. We stayed over we stayed at the front of the pub, the room was quiet with comfortable beds. downstairs in the pub, lovely setting, I would love to return in the winter with the log fires on. cracking pint of Guinness with a good local community feel.
We have just had a family lunch at The Old Boote. The steak was the best we have ever had. Cooked perfectly and the food was fantastic. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Highly recommended to families to visit. Thank you.
Great food, good hosts and the pub itself is situated in beautiful surroundings, just opposite Whittington Castle. The pint of Madri I had was excellent. Well worth a visit!
This place is a hidden little gem. Under new management. We were made to feel so welcome by Mark and his staff right from the beginning. Food was delicious and piping hot. The rooms were lovely with a view of the castle, beds were really comfortable. We had a lovely stay here really highly recommended. Mark and his staff have worked their socks off after only taking over the pub less than a week ago. Would highly recommend you pay a visit, thank you for a lovely stay.
I never ever write bad reviews but this was absolutely necessary after what's happened. This has been such a nasty start to 2023. My partner and I popped in for some food and a couple of drinks here. We aren't from this neck of the woods so we were looking forward to an evening of something a bit different having it being recommended to us. We're visiting from North Wales. It has been non-stop raining today which I'd like to have highlighted throughout my review due to a horrible incident that happened as we left the pub. We first approached the back/main entrance of the pub to read a sign said that no food was being served. We thought, fair enough... We will have a couple of drinks and go on elsewhere. We went in and my partner asked for a pint of Trooper and the barmaid said there was none left even though the sign was facing the customer. The sign should have been taken off or faced the opposite way. My partner and I have managed pubs so we know what is expected. We then chose our drinks, they were served, we payed and we sat down hoping for a nice evening. As my partner and I were chatting between one another, we immediately noticed that a local man at the bar was whispering things about us to the barmaid. The local man had his back to us and pointed at us with his thumb in whispered conversation with the barmaid. We felt really uncomfortable. The barmaid seemed happily biased to join in the the local man's conversation to keep him happy than to be more anonymous, professional and respectful upon any customers like ourselves. Part of a barman/maid's job is to engage in conversation. We felt completely unwelcome and awkward. We made the effort to speak to the barmaid with small humour and kind, calm & polite responses. She was not interested. Myself and my partner were/are considerate, polite, kind and calm so we knew we can't have done anything to upset anyone other than locals not wanting non-locals at "their" pub. We've seen it as pub owners ourselves. We get it, but we never tolerated it in our pubs by staff nor locals. By this point the barmaid also made it verbally clear that she couldn't wait to finish her shift which made us think that we should leave! Feeling unwelcome, judged because we aren't locals and feeling generally awkward... We decided to leave and look for somewhere else. We left the "main entrance" at the back with the carpark and it was full-on pouring with rain. My partner and I got outside in the rain and began to walk down the steps. With there being no handle bar, mats or any health & safely prop nor sign as we stood on tiled/slated slippy steps... I slipped from the very top step, and my back and hip slammed at the very bottom step. I fell approximately 3ft in height and the same if not more in length. Once I hit the bottom step... I don't cry in pain at all usually, but I did. The pain and the shock was horrible! I stayed there crying, with my partner trying to comfort me. I couldn't move. We shouted for help. No one came. My partner had to support me to the van. I kept crying. We phoned my friend who is a senior nurse at Gobowen to observe me in the van on the way home because I was in so much pain. We did this after we phoned 999 and would be waiting 3 hours for an ambulance and waiting until early hours at the hospital in A&E. I cannot wait to show a picture of how bruised I am. The steps outside looked like someone had thrown thick transparent varnish over the steps. There was no caution sign, no mats, no hand bar, no security cameras to alarm injury... nothing. My partner and I are 99% certain that the staff/locals knew that I fell because I screamed. And after such judgemental chatter between staff and local punters, it didn't surprise us that no one came to help. If that were an elderly person they will have very likely broken their hip, arm, collarbone, their back, their head which could have caused significant damage not only to them but to the pub itself. The injury has literally shocked me. I've now been informed by that I must go to A&E tomorrow morning to get x-rayed.
Awful. No food for a start. The staff and punters were rude so we left and the worst part was that my partner fell outside the back steps. I shouted for help and no one came. I’ve never seen her in so much pain she was crying and screaming!! Everyone heard her agony and heard me shout and no one came to help. I don’t think anyone realised how bad it was we had to phone A&E. She’s badly hurt. The steps were like ice because it was raining so heavily. There was no caution or warning signs, no health and safety marks, no H&S paint, no support handles there was nothing. Anyone could have slipped on there. We’ve been on with 999 and 111. She’s having an x-ray tomorrow morning but at this rate we’re going to need an ambulance. Those steps are lethal!!! Consider your H&S!! More pictures will come with her bruising.
Really enjoyed my visit, service was fast & friendly. The beer ‘Robinson’s Dizzy Blonde’ was spot on. I had the “Boote Burger” it was very tasty. It was served on a chopping board which I thought unusual but didn’t add or take away from the experience for me. A little dearer than I’d normally pay but I put this down to local variations in prices! If I’m ever in the area again I’d certainly return.
The best place we've stayed by far. Spotless clean. Beds and pillows perfect. Staff was exceptional, nothing was to much no matter what we asked for. Breakfasts was beautiful & plenty of it too. The view and location is a massive added bonus to the wonderful place. The management greeted us soon as we arrived and asked our names shown us around which instantly makes you feel special. They had live music in too so we orders bar food with a bottle of red and relaxed. The locals was also very welcoming. They smiled and said hello. We really can't wait to re visit again Show less Date of visit: April 2022
Had a Roast Beef lunch on Sunday. The food took awhile to arrive but the Pub seemed light on staff so understandable. The food was average and nothing to write home about. Roast Beef was a bit chewy, the carrot mash was tasty. Roasties were ok as was the Yorkshire pudding. Only thing I would mark down was the Undercooked Broccoli. We all left the Broccoli as you couldn't bite it, it was solid. To summarise , The Pub was dark with poor lightingon a side note if you suffer from OCD do not look at the little light shades all over as most of them were askew which I found a bit annoyingThe Pub had no atmosphere to speak of. The food was edible excepting the Broccoli. The food was not amazing or the best and I have no intentions to return. The Pub was ok with plenty of parking space.
Very friendly staff, breakfast was lovely & room was very comfortable & spacious.
