| As a local Camra member I'm totally confused by Bathmatt's comments. First I agree with him that the improved Globe is worth patronising which is why we have added it to the recommended pubs in the Good Beer Guide. However can I put the record straight; the Boot WAS ommitted from the 2011 GBG for the simple reason that entries are submitted in March of the previous year and the previous licensee was leaving in April. We did not know who was taking on the license so could not recommend the pub that year. Happily we are more than satisfied that the Boot has proved it is still one of the premier real ale outlets in West Dorset and it is listed in the 2012 GBG. As to the other points; expensive? - average prices for pubs in the area; poor quality? - you visited on 8th Dec - the Ringwood Porter at this time of year is to die for; unfriendly - this can be subjective but I certainly have interesting conversations with perfect strangers each time I visit.

| Having spent the last few years traveling i tend to frequent a few pubs ,the boot being one of them . The second you walk in you feel welcome and not only by the landlord and staff but the patrons already there . The fine selection of beverages found there will satisfy the most pickiest of people and being an ale drinker myself have very often found my self perched in the boot with the fire on , on a cold day sipping on a pint while chatting to the locals , landlord and staff , or sat outside in the summer sun with a nice cider . I was recommended the boot by a bloke i met in Australia and will be doing the same on my future travels . Well done the boot stone82 - 12 Dec 2011 15:09 |
| All I can say is Bathmatt must have gone into the wrong pub! The Boot is a long time haunt of many ex-forces personel. With it's real fires, real conversation with genuine people (with no juke box or telly blaring out loud noise), and 5 real ales, not to mention the great ciders, you can't get much better than that. As for being dropped by CAMRA, all I can say is READ THE BOOK. It's still listed in the Beer Guide, and frequented on most nights by members of CAMRA. longbowarcher - 11 Dec 2011 23:28 |
| As a long term regular of the pub. I utterly disappointed with the boot. I am in the armed forces, and spend a lot of time away. I have always returned knowing that the boot would be the same, happy, warm, and friendly place, with the best beer around. It is now expensive, poor quality, and unfriendly. At this point I can't see myself stepping foot in the Boot again. I have changed my allegiance to the Globe Inn. As have CAMRA, who has dumped the Boot, and added the Globe.

| Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this pub on 14th September. It's a proper old fashioned inn. Packed full of character and serving excellent ales and proper pub snacks such as pork pie and pickles for sharing. The poor barmaid was a bit rushed and needed some help but guess this is the sign of a popular pub. Landlord was friendly and so were the locals. The only problem you might have is finding a seat! lala1 - 17 Sep 2011 10:33 |
