| A classic village pub with a cheerful atmosphere. As well as the usual Adnams there was also Celtic Queen on draught the day we called in. It is a Norfolk beer, from the Iceni Brewery - a good refreshing summer brew. Friendly landlady could only offer "Hot beef rolls" as lunchtime snacks, but they were delicious with horseradish sauce and very inexpensive. The regulars were cheerfully discussing the prospects for that afternoon's Grand National at Aintree, while their dogs roamed about being friendly with anyone prepared to pat them. These local pubs are a threatened institution (my own village had about 8 when we moved in almost 40 years ago - now there are only 3 still open and one of these is about to close). Places like The Boot deserve support from visitors as well as their own community. wuzatar - 7 Apr 2009 12:06 |
| I'm with Mike, my mother and father in law live in the village and are very regular visitors to the pub. I have been there many times with and without them and have been made to feel very welcome from both the landlord/lady and the other guests. The beer is superb, as already mentioned, a different guest beer for each week ranging from small local brewers to further a field. For all those unsure, just go. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. lewisharvey - 10 Jun 2008 21:21 |
| A lovely place to meet and make new freinds, a real freindly bunch of people, an eclectic group of locals (I'm one of them) make this an interesting place to visit and socialise, everything from race horse owners to farm labours. its just been redecorated so ignore others comments about it being grubby, its not. Its the sort of place anybody can go to on your own and feel comfortable, The beer is excellent, a different guest beer every week. The boot won the CAMRA award for the region (out of 350 pubs in 2005)cannot be all bad. My only warning is watch the Broadside, its hits like a steam rollor cheers mike "mines a pint please" mike1966 - 8 Jun 2006 11:02 |
| Good beer, friendly people, but it's a bit, err, grubby. A good place to come for a couple of beers with male friends. Not somewhere you'd go on a date, if you see what I mean dodgy - 1 May 2006 20:42 |
| An old-style pub - very friendly and top beer, though not a place I've ever lingered at mtaylor40 - 21 Sep 2005 21:14 |
