| hmm, i think some of you are being quite judgemental. I live in Chesham and i've been to the Boot and Slipper quite a few times. The way it's always been is that you find your own table, someone will give you your menus and you order your food and drink at the bar - simple :) The lighting is lovely and it gives a really nice atmosphere. I think it's a really good place to go for a relaxed and comfortable evening; don't go if you need to rush! That's just pointless! jesspgn - 20 Jul 2008 01:31 |
| I mentioned my experience to a friend who happens to runt he Queens Head in Chesham. She said she would NEVER go back to the Boot & Slipper after her experience a few weeks ago - they tried to speak to the manager about it but he was uninterested and they walked out!!

| were you on our table????? we had exactly the same experience that night. Had to wait 15 mins before anyone seated us,even though we had booked, were told we had to order at bar although it was after 6pm. in the end they did serve us. Was told on the phone that there was plenty of choice for vegetarians, turns out there are abt 3 dishes with asparagus in, so it's ok if you like asparagus! Waited an hour for food, and then abt 40 mins for them to ask if we wanted dessert, by which time we were all fed up. The only good thing about this place were the people I was with and the wine went down quite well!! This place is shocking and the service is terrible. Will try the swan in old amersham next time for food as the bar staff are excellent there so i'm presuming the standard will be better by a mile. claudinechris - 28 Jun 2008 19:47 |
| I went with a group of friends to the Boot and Slipper last night. I can say strongly enough how ridiculously BAD the service was!!!! The food was mediocre at best, portions were small and it wasn't cooked as specified (steak). We waited 15 minutes to be seated at a table that had been reserved for us and when the guy came to seat us, he just walked past muttering 'follow me'. We then waited another age for someone to take the order which took AN HOUR to arrive!!!!!!! We ordered wine at the table and then when it came to ordering food, we were told someone would be with us 'in a moment' to take the order and then that there was no table service only to have someone else come past a moment later and ask to take our order! when it came to ordering more drinks we were told there was no table service again, despite the menu stating that there was after 6pm. When it came to paying, we were told that we had to do so at the bar. When we spoke to the barman about shoddy service, long waits etc he just shrugged his shoulders! Absolutely AWFUL service, mediocre food - DON'T GO!!! Mattesdon - 21 Jun 2008 20:42 |
| I feel I have to comment to agree with the below statement! I have REGULARLY gone to this pub since Oct 03 when I moved to this area and it was WITHOUT DOUBT the best pub in Amersham, probably Bucks. Since about April this year, the last 10-12 times I have been, whether to drink or eat or both, I have been very disappointed with the food, drink AND service. It pains me to write this as I used to LOVE this place but I would no longer recommend it and stopped going. I understand management has changed recently so maybe this is the problem. There used to be a FANTASTIC ale range as well as original and varied specials. I had a work party there over Christmas just gone and the entire team made our party welcome and happy. The young male manager (who could've been no older than 25) came over and talked to us for a lengthy period of time and there was a real feeling of locality and respect for the guests. Bring back old management and I will bring back my custom! mrtom5 - 10 Jun 2008 19:28 |
