The Old Boot Inn

There are few things better in life than a traditional pub that understands these traditions, holds them in reverence, and plays the part to near perfection. The Old Boot Inn is not just referring to an old boot, it really is old itself, but this has played no nuisance to the ability it has to serve quality food and drink within a comfortable, homely atmosphere, the place has only strengthened its reputation over the years. With a large beer garden and an enviable amount of space on the inside, there is room enough to fill with your laughter, happiness, and merriment.

Using a pantry of fresh and local ingredients, the head chef at the Old Boot Inn strives to ensure the menu is packed to the brim with seasonal foodstuffs. The fare to be had takes inspiration from worldwide cuisines, yet you can always expect a British staple on the menu. They’re known for the duck shepherd’s pie, showing a flair for experimentation with classics (would it be a shepherd’s pie or a cottage pie if you substitute the meat?). Throughout the calendar year, you can expect themed nights to occur, where the menu is altered to provide an experience in line with the chosen cuisine or nation.

A speciality of the Old Boot Inn is their shawarma, which is taken from the pubs shawarma machine, of which it claims to have the best chicken kebabs in the nation – we’ll leave you to make your own mind up on that. With live music and other events on from time to time, why not make the most of the opportunity to be had and have an enjoyable experience with your family? Located just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Reading in Stanford Dingley, the Old Boot Inn promises a pleasant evening.
