Came for Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Pre-ordered the food and paid a deposit before we arrived. We were seen to our table late, it was squeezed in to fit despite booking weeks ahead, they seemed to be being greedy and overbooking beyond the restaurant space and kitchen could manage. Sat for 30 mins before starters came out, no apologies or acknowledgment of the slow service from the wait staff, food was ok but not spectacular, coffees/teas for those who ordered them came and were finished before the desserts arrived and the sauce on the sticky toffee pudding was bitter and burnt and inedible. I think it’s really gone down hill recently (maybe since it changed ownership) but our last 2 experiences now have been the same which is a real shame.

The food was good but the service was very poor. We waited a very long time for our lunch. Even when we were the last people there, the waitress walked straight past without even looking to see if we needed anything. We had to search for someone to pay. We didnt even try to order coffee because it was getting so late. There was no toilet paper in the ladies and the seat was broken. This restaurant used to be excellent but something seems to have gone wrong.

Beatrice served myself and two dear friends. She was charming and attentive. We asked to be moved to a different area as a group of young men were celebrating and slightly noisy. Really enjoyed our meal The meal was delicious, good selection of food. Lovely setting. Easy parking. No stress. We will definitely go back.

Ordered roast dinner, food was warm, my beef was stone cold which was very disappointing, dessert was fine. Staff friendly. Would not recommend going for Sunday lunch, too many people for them to cope with. Very disappointing, especially for the price.

Visited for Mothers Day, booked for mid-afternoon. No room in the car park so had to park elsewhere (on the street). Very obvious that the team were stressed as soon as we arrived - lots of confusion and frustration between staff, including some quite harsh chastising of waitresses by more senior staff. Front of house lead especially seemed very stressed and disorganised - we asked for water when we sat down and were brought water but no glasses, and it took another ten minutes for our drink orders to be taken. Once she first came over though, our waitress (Gemma/Jenna?) was very friendly and chatty, and was very relaxed in the face of what I’m sure was a very full on day. Food was nice enough, but got the impression that it had been sat under a heat light for some time. Two of our party had a roast - pastry had gone soggy, roast veg was verging on room temperature, yorkshires had gone dry, cauliflower cheese sauce had gone a bit grainy. Quite disappointing, especially considering the price. Several things in toilet (toilet roll holder, bin) were broken. Pub in general was very noisy, though I appreciate there were a lot more young children in than a typical Sunday given the occasion! Staff were stood in the hallway to bathrooms on their phones. Overall quite disappointing, but the service of our waitress was great.

Decided to stop for dinner while in town. Everything was amazing. The presentation was very similar to when I’ve eaten at Michelin Start restaurant. The starters were delicious, the mains were succulent, and the desert (pistachio soufflé) was divine. They even made special accommodations to my child’s meal. If you ask my kid, it gets 1 millions thumbs up; and my wife and I agree. We will definitely be back. I could not recommend this place more.

Absolutely tiny portion sizes which was such a disappointment, given the food that we did get was tasty. Had to ask the waiter what was the biggest dessert as we our main course was ridiculously small and came with no veg or potatoes (it was almost £20 for the main, therefore this was extremely disappointing!) Dessert wasn’t much better either, with the thimble size jug of custard with the crumble, which would not look out of place in the Borrowers house !!! All in all a really disappointing experience, which we will not be repeating.

The food was great - but the staff were rude and the service sloppy! What was supposed to be a special occasion (my mother’s birthday) was cut short when one of the waitresses rather rudely demanded that we vacate our table due to another booking. Whilst they do say in the booking conditions that your table is available for 2 hours, we were still within the 2-hour window when this happened. Furthermore, the restaurant had quite a few free tables, so any waiting customers could have been seated elsewhere instead of insisting that we move! And the best they could do was to offer us a “discount” Thank you for ruining my mother’s special day - next time, we will go somewhere where they know how to treat customers properly!! Have been a few times in the past, but not anymore! People don’t go to a restaurant to eat, but to socialise and the least the staff can do is to respect that!

The food was nice, and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional as they abruptly asked us to vacate our table due to another booking. Now, we understand that restaurants can get busy (and they do mention the 2-hour per table in their booking conditions) - but there was no need to be quite so rude about it, especially since we were still within the 2-hour window and there were other free tables (so the group supposedly waiting could easily been seated elsewhere). We had gone for my mother’s birthday, with my parents flying in from abroad especially, so it would have been nice if the staff had shown a little more consideration and professionalism. They did give us a discount by way of an apology, but they are honestly going to lose people’s business if they keep behaving like this. Remember, customer service goes a long way! This was a disappointing end to what was meant to be a family celebration (in future we’ll pick somewhere else that knows how to treat customers properly!)

Friendly welcome on arrival, clean and tidy bistro restaurant. Accessible menu with a wide variety of dietary requirements catered for, and excellent attention to detail regarding allergies. Very professional team, great service. Cheese soufflé starter is a favourite, but lots of fish, vegan and veggie options. I went for the game terrine, which was well seasoned, the spiced rhubarb compote was an excellent accompaniment along with the toasted sourdough. Main courses all looked very good, but we all went for herb custed stuffed lamb roulade as the sides sounded particularly well matched. It's bistro style, so expect decent portions and simple veg garnish, lots of dauphinoise potato on the menu as well, no bad thing. Pistachio soufflé for pudding, very well executed, and great deals in January if you sign up to marketing. One or two alcohoc dronks at lunchtime meant it wasn't super-cheap, but this is only to be expected. This place has consistently good food and service, and held this all year round for several years. Very much strongly recommended.

As soon as we arrived we were told that once we sit down we are on our two hour time limit…fine, if a little rude (though in that two hours we only had time for one course as it was horrendously slow so I think it’s cheeky to put that time limit on customers seeing as it’s not our fault!!). This was just the start. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order food, it then took an hour to get any food and our plates were not removed for about 20 minutes afterwards. We were not offered more drinks or a dessert menu when our plates were finally cleared. We were so annoyed that we decided to just get the bill (again, had to flag someone over to ask). We got the bill and surprise surprise we had to ask to then pay. The experience was exhausting and the worst we’ve had in a long time.

I can't rate this place highly enough! The staff were wonderful, friendly and attentive. Covid regulations were clearly explained and we were given the option of a more distanced service too. The food was incredible, both my partner and I enjoyed it immensely and I would recommend The Boot to anyone. Especially if they want a perfectly cooked leg of duck. When the bill came the machine didn't give me the option of a tip and they were not accepting cash (I wish I had asked to up the card payment) so for now this review will do but I will revisit at the next opportunity!

Had a great experience meeting up with friends between Xmas and new year. Very busy (had booked) but service was friendly and chatty without being annoying. Trout main was good, husband’s steak a bit chewy which for over £30 with sauce was a bit below expected, friends’ burger and steak pie looked good and they enjoyed. Starters were really nice and interesting. There are two car parks accessed from different roads - worth knowing. Overall very positive experience and would happily revisit.

Once I read about the change in ownership to a chain I immediately understood our recent experience after some excellent visits in the past. Gnocchi were not good (more like icky roast potatoes), soup not hot. On positive side, trout and pork were nice but processed was high for relatively small portions. Steak and ale pie decent. Prices quite high for what you get. Can’t seem to decide if this is high end or regular pub fare with all prices at the high end (£5 for green beans side!!?). Sadly, we won’t be back.

We went for Christmas lunch with the work team. Once we had been served our mains, the waitress came round to ask “do you want a small bowl full of pigs in blankets for £3”. We thought it was odd as the Turkey didn’t come with any. We ordered 2 bowls for the table. When they arrived, there were 3 mini pigs in blankets in a ramekin (definitely not a bowl full). I checked and they said it was correct and smirked at us. The manager was made aware I had queried it but didn’t once come over to us to ask if everything was ok. The sprouts were very hard and it was a shame for a nice restaurant to not have roast potatoes with the Turkey. I must say the beef main was very good, probably one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant.

We went to the boot on a Thursday in December, which is always going to be busy. However, the service was very slow. We waited around an hour between our starter and main course, and were starving by the time it arrived. The cheese soufflé was very nice and the chicken was good, but the portion size was a little reserved. The atmosphere is nice but I probably wouldn't recommend for the price.

I have had three dinners in recent months with work colleagues and friends at The Boot. The restaurant itself is homely and well decorated which makes it a lovely venue for dinner. However we have increasingly found that the menu is very over-priced for what are often very small portions of fairly average food. Our most recent visit was for our company Christmas meal which was both expensive and underwhelming. Considering the high cost, the mediocre turkey main was low in both quality and quantity. Service was also chaotic and at times rude, especially from a quite angry restaurant manager. This was compounded by the non arrival of mince pies and coffee at the end of the meal and a final bill which over charged us. Overall a very disappointing experience. We wont be returning which is a shame as the The Boot could be so much better in the right hands.

We had booked a works meal and emailed ahead of time to request 2 out of 6 required items from the main menu and not the Christmas menu. On arrival we were told this wasn't possible and yes they had received email but chose not to respond. After emphasising that the vegetarian option really was not suitable it was agreed to allow a main menu option. We did find the service very poor and the waitress came across very abrupt on any requests. We then received our mince pies, may I suggest it is added to the menu that these are mini...very mini! We then received the bill and on checking we had been charged for the said mince pies which were included in the menu. We did highlight this error and the charge was removed. Overall my experience was very disappointing which is a shame as my expectations were high.

The menu is seasonal. They are always willing to cater to food allergies and intolerances. The squid and chorizo plate was tasty. Though it was a busy Friday night, the staff were attentive and consistently checked on us. I’d have loved dessert yet the sorbet was the only thing I could have had. Too cold for a winter’s night. The busyness made it loud and difficult on my husband’s tinnitus yet it was very festive. We’ll try the pub and drinking area next time.

Oh dear, what a shame nothing like the quality and service provided by the previous owner. Hartwood Inns seem to have lowered the offering, jacked up the prices and reduced the service level. Meals now no longer include veg which has to be ordered as a 'side' meaning a meagre Pie, chips & green beans costs an eyewatering £21.99 and is served on a flaking piece of wood to Boot! Pun intended. Drinks specifically ask to be without ice were delivered with ice and the juvenile waiting staff seemed phased at even basic requests, such as can I have a plate for my pie. The menu is now fancily described pub grub, no longer tasty cuisine, not one of our 6 person party had anything good to say about our wholly unsatisfactory lunch experience. We left after the main foregoing what would probably have been a rip off dessert where a plate was an extra. Such a shame that Hartwood Inns don't realise they can only trade on a previous owners good reputation for a short time. None of our party will be returning anytime soon ....

The food was delicious but they seem to have split dishes so that instead of having a plateful of food, you have to order anything beyond the main ingredients as sides, making it quite a pricey lunch. I took the roasted aubergine (£15 ish) which was beautifully tasty ... but it was literally half an aubergine, about ten small (1.5cm) cubes of pumpkin and some daubs of various sauces. Unfortunately we didn't have time to order more sides so I left hungry. Last time I'd visited I couldn't finish everything. I wouldn't rush back.

It was my first time at this pub for lunch today with a friend. We both ordered the halloumi burger, coleslaw and chips, and a side of crispy hispi cabbage (which we didnt receive). Big mistake!!! My friend doesnt like advocado and I am allergic to mango. No mention of advocado or mango on the menu which is illegal. It is a legal requirement that all ingredients are written on the menu. Luckily, I had only put the mango on the tip of my tongue, which by the way tingled for quite a while after. I was lucky I didnt eat more of it as it could have been quite different. The menu needs to be re-written so that all ingredients are listed, so that no-one else has allergic reactions. On the plus side, the staff were apologetic and replaced our meals. They did offer complimentary desserts but my friend had to get back to work, so we declined. After this experience I will not be back. Just be careful what you order!!

We were incredibly disappointed by our last visit to The Boot last weekend. We had a booking for the outdoor area, and it seems that being outside meant we were completely forgotten about. Our food took over an hour to come out (my husband had to go to the bar to ask where it was, then it took another 10 minutes to arrive), and when it did there was no acknowledgement of the wait nor any apology. We were told cutlery by the waiter cutlery could be found on a table nearby, only to find there weren’t any forks… Fast forward 45 minutes later, our plates were never cleared nor were we ever offered desserts nor additional drinks. All in all, service was abysmal… Food was OK, although portions were rather small for the price. Only shining star was the barmaid who proactively came out to check the TV was still on as the one inside had a warning about switching off. Too little to redeem the rest of the team. We will think twice about returning!

Incredibly disappointing. Having been here a few years ago and raved about the pistachio soufflé ever since, our visit today was pretty terrible. Booked online but then showed up and there was no reservation. The hostess was not apologetic or really accommodating, but not rude about it either. Not a big deal, but not exactly great. Sat in the garden and ordered from the bar menu as that was the only option. Ordered at the bar and it took 15 mins to get the order in. There was no queue, the person just kept getting it wrong. Two burgers with bacon and cheese, two beers and a kids meal. Not very complex. We were warned that the burgers were cooked medium-rare, fine for me. The burgers arrived and were burned on the outside, cooked through entirely and incredibly dry. Actually difficult to eat the whole thing given how dry it was. The bacon, which cost £2, was a small, single slice of streaky bacon, also burned. That’s the cost of an entire pack of bacon. Great profit margin item for the pub I guess. One of the most disappointing pub burgers I’ve ever had, and surprising from a place with Raymond Blanc’s name attached. The kid’s meal pasta looked pretty anaemic, and we had to ask for the vegetables it comes with as they were missing. Had to ask twice for the ice cream with the kid’s meal, and then it finally showed up. All this cost just shy of £70. On this showing, I won’t be returning, unless it’s just for the pistachio soufflé, assuming that is still up to par.

Last year we renewed our wedding vows, and some good friends bought us a voucher via Virgin Experiences, so we decided to book a table at The Boot. We had a very busy year after getting the voucher, so I had to extend it twice....

Great lunch here. Started with burrata (delicious) followed by lamb roulade and marmalade treacle sponge (excellent). Was too hungry to get pics of the starter and dessert. Service was excellent and spaced out well. Will be back.

First time I've visited here since a big make over a few years ago now. Situated on the High Street of picturesque Cambridge village Histon I would firmly say this is worth a visit. Cambridge has a thriving food scene and I'd add this to the mix as well. With a warm friendly welcome we were seated in a stone archway at the back of the restaurant looking out onto a bright airy oak beamed dining area splashes of green throughout- loved it. We hadn't booked and missed the Sunday lunch menu but didn't leave disappointed. Slow cooked short rib beef was sublime and the wife was equally impressed with the lamb roulade. Soufflé for dessert was melt in the mouth perfection. The service team we busy buzzing around recovering from the earlier lunch and preparing for the next round of punters - there was a steady stream - adding a great atmosphere to a wonderful setting. A must visit if your in Histon and well worth the short journey out of Cambridge. Thanks for the fabulous food and experience we will be back.

Great drinking pub, but for that special surprise definitely eat there. The food was exceptional. 100% cheese soufflé changed my world. Everything was great. Try your partners fish dish, even if you wouldn't order it yourself and come away liking fish as long as its done properly.

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Especially Ash made us laugh all the time. Thoroughly recommend the scallops, the fish cake and treacle sponge. Scrumptious!

Lovely place. Good varied menu on a Sunday. We both had the pork ribeye and it was very good. Service was efficient and friendly. Parking not the easiest but again a bit easier on a Sunday with the parking rules on the road.
