The Boot Inn in Warwick

A Pleasant Lunch Slightly Marred by Inflexibility at The Boot Inn Our recent lunch at The Boot Inn was pleasant, and we all enjoyed our food. I opted for the Ribeye steak, which was well cooked and tasty, although the accompanying three mushrooms, small salad, and chips felt a rather sparse for its near £32.00 price tag. However, a somewhat surprising moment occurred when I politely asked if I could have a small piece of tomato with my steak. This simple request was met with a refusal. Considering our party of four spent a total of £282.00 on what was otherwise an enjoyable lunch, this lack of flexibility over something so minor felt a little disappointing. While we appreciated the quality of the food, this small incident did leave a slight mark on our otherwise positive experience. A little more willingness to accommodate simple requests could have made our enjoyable lunch even better.

Not good, served non Gluten Free Ceaser salad to my ceoliac daughter. I checked when i saw croutons and they said it was before realising it wasnt. Late as she had assumed they were GF. Then served meat to my vegetarian neice. Not even an apology. This is a serious allergy situation, if they were getting inspected it would be very bad for them. Took 45 mins to arrive. Again no apology, still added service charge to the bill. It's a shame as place is lovely. But I won't be going back.

Went for a meal with the family on this special occasion as my wife and I just tied the knot to celebrate, and wow it did not disappoint. The service was on point, the food was spectacular. Could not fault one single thing about it all. So thank you all for a lovely experience. We will definitely be returning.

Nice modern pub, with huge amounts of seating. Drinks are a bit pricy but still a great place to spend time with friends.

Great food, reasonable price. Lovely atmosphere, there were 7 of us eating, a couple of the meals were delayed in delivery

I have been coming here for many years and without fail the staff are friendly and welcoming, the menu is exciting and delicious and the atmosphere warm and cosy.

Dropped after 8pm one Thursday evening hoping for food. Was not disappointed - they were still serving (phew) and seafood platter was great. Decent selection of real ales and wines too. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, and I was not disappointed. Staff also attentive, polite and kept themselves busy serving and tidying. Thanks.

What a find this place is. Very busy but they squeezed us in. Delicious lunch in a great bright restaurant. Very enjoyable.

Not special. Thought it quite ordinary 🤔.

Fillet steak to die for. Cooked to perfection. My Wife had a selection of starters as her main, all equally delicious. We'll definitely be back again soon. Amazing food, brilliant staff - Can't fault a thing.

Superb lunch or dinner option. "gastro" food in a relaxed and cosy setting. Very good.

Perfectly fine for eating and drinking.

Nice pub but drinks are on the expensive side. Haven't tried the food yet.

Great all round! Lovely afternoon out!

Despite an empty restaurant and bar they would not serve food on a Saturday at Midday. Disappointing service. Normally very accommodating and helpful.

I went last night with my family. The food was stonkingly brilliant (as it always has been) with brilliant portion sizes and really excellent service. The evening was almost ruined when we were initially sat in the Conservatory with the deafeningly loud live music. Fortunately the lovely waitress was able to move us, but i would caution the Boot to make it absolutely clear that for those who book 'for dinner' (which we did) that they really should not be sat in a live music venue. We will be returning

Very nice and cosy pub. Food is a little bit pricey but good quality

Everything that is on the reviews is true - went on spec Saturday lunch and it was almost full!

Absolutely lovely place. "Higher" Pub ambiance, high quality Food and attentive and friendly staff. Great selection of mains and sides. Staff able to tend to tables with the expected service, be it "high class" with champagne or just a fish n chips stopover. We may have had issues getting a table if we hadn't reserved.

Enjoyable lunchtime meet up with friends. Service prompt without feeling rushed. Food was excellent and brilliantly presented.

Great evening with great company! Gorgeous food with fab waiting staff. Thank you

We went on the spur of the moment when in the area and it was quite busy. The waitress received us in her gym wear which felt a bit unprofessional (too much information for a gastropub if you ask me). We ordered the pasta with duck and the steak pie which was literally that: meat in a pie. The waitress came with the potatoes, put two on the plate and asked if we wanted any more... The plate looked pretty empty. Our shock was when the truffle fries came... With truffle mayo and the waiter said: you didn't think it'd be real truffle! Of course we didn't but you can have truffle oil and parmesan, The Ivy makes a lovely one and you are charging us the same price! On top of that my husband hates mayo so I wish we didn't ordered them. Make sure your phone has charge as might need it to read the menu. Not very impressed.

Delightful meal, good food couldn’t ask for more

We were there for a private party, a 21st birthday so we didn't buy food. George was our waiter and he was super, an absolute superstar.

My husband and myself have just had a Sunday roast at The Boot to celebrate our wedding anniversary...I'd like to say firstly that the staff were brilliant, very helpful and accommodating. We had booked this particular restaurant as we had visited many times a few years ago when we lived in Lapworth, we always enjoyed our times there. However we were very disappointed today. When we arrived we were shown to a table, which I can only describe as a nursery table, children would struggle to be comfortable in. It was so close to the table in front that we would all have struggled to be comfortable. Also the light above us was flickering badly. We were moved to another table, right in the doorway between the restaurant and the the conservatory. It was cold and the constant stream of staff and customers made it impossible to eat there. We were moved again into the conservatory, this time the seating was adequate. I ordered the roast beef, when it arrived it was tasty but I really needed a steak knife to cut it. I understand that a lot of people like their veg al dente but!!!! Mine was straight from the ground! I couldn't eat it. The cauliflower cheese was the same, rock hard and bad in the middle! The dessert however was really delicious. Sadly though we won't be returning. I know it was Sunday afternoon but screaming children and barking dogs. Definitely not!

Visited for Sunday lunch. Was very impressed with the service. The Pork was delicious and my wife had the beef which she loved. The desserts were excellent too. The only downside was that we were hurried into finishing our meal because the table was booked, but despite this I would recommend this inn.

Lovely place with some very high-quality food. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere was great, apart from being a little too warm throughout the evening. I do feel like it is expensive, but it's a nice place to go for the odd special occasion. Probably the best lamb I've ever had. I did feel abit awkward when the bill arrived and the optional service charge was written on... I felt abit pressured into paying it...considering the price of the final bill, the service charge was more than a meal and starter put together

Good food at a price. Some of the mains are very filling but others may leave you hungry. All are of great quality.

Been going here for a couple of years, always good food and service.

Thoroughly delightful pub with busy yet pleasant atmosphere, even though busy with a private function, staff were friendly, polite and very attentive. We had the confit duck and pork cutlet, both were superb, delicious and ample portion size (with new potatoes arriving after the photo was taken) Highly recommended and will definitely be visiting again soon.

Lovely country pub. Great Sunday lunch

Had a great evening here. The pub / inn is has a lot of character and really authentic. The food was excellent and very tasty. The choices are smaller but all very tasty and makes each dish worthwhile. Very busy country pub but worth the visit.

Classy country pub, great food, good service.

My review is not on the food it’s related to drinks. Two drinks almost £15 and the Prosecco was flat and served out of a tiny measure. Stop being so mean and just pour your customers a full glass of Prosecco being you are charging over £7 for a glass. Very friendly, helpful staff.

Terrible service. I haven’t seen such service for ages.

Exceptional food. A very good variety of foods beautifully prepared and served.

First time visiting The Boot very impressive area outside. Very busy book if you want food. Great staff will definetly go back. Loads of parking. Didnt have food so cant comment but it looked really good.

Best Cesar salad I've had for ages and the haddock was pretty good too.

Brilliant place. Great food and drink. Lovely staff. You are very well looked after.

We rocked up here on a canal boat after failing to get to the pub we booked originally, to watch the football. The staff were very accommodating and found us a space to squeeze in straight away. Beautiful pub and very well looked after for the game. Quick table service. Would definitely recommend.

Great choice of cocktails and the food was lovely, had the duck which was divine. Nicely cooked and presented.

Absolutely fabulous celebration in the teepee on Saturday. Lovely food and fantastic service. Just wonderfulxx

Amazing meal, great service and a top selection of drinks. The cauliflower steak curry was excellent.

Decent pub, good quality food but service is a bit lacking these days. Poor planning meant the “gazebo” was like a sauna in the sun yesterday!

A delicious pork belly cooked by Liam last night and service was excellent from the lovely Ashley. Will be visiting again soon. Thanks all

Nice pub, really lively and lovely atmosphere with some of the best service and staff you can get. The food and drinks were yummy and nicely served. I would definitely would love to visit again and would recommend visiting the pub if you are near the area and are looking for a bite or drink.

Great Sunday lunch, quality produce and beautiful surroundings. Nothing is too much trouble for staff.

We stopped here for a drink to break up the journey. An absolutely beautiful country pub with wonderful decor & nice outdoor seating. I can't wait to return for food.

Well organised, socially distanced first meal out in over a year, and delicious food

Excellent lunch👍 Great service 👍

Food very disappointing. £26 for a small piece of sea bass with a tiny bit of vegetable. Not enough to feed a mouse and not particularly tasty. Very average. Only one vegetarian option. On the plus side. Desert was lovely, Lovely place, cheerful and helpful staff.

I've never had a bad meal here.

Always good food and really friendly staff

Food was tasty, though it was quite expensive. Staff were friendly and cheerful. Pleasant atmosphere. Has indoors and outdoors seating.

We stopped in on the way to London because it was rated as one of the best pubs in the area and we fancied a Sunday roast. Unfortunately the kitchen had closed 15 minutes before our arrival. Luckily we ran into the owner (Paul) who offered us a late seating then went out of his way to see that we got attended to. Food was exceptional. Had the roast dinner and dessert. The pub indoors and outside was really traditional and cozy. This place was a gem and was topped off by fantastic staff and customer service. Highly recommended you visit if you're in the area.

Long time since last visit . Lovely as last time.

Butternut Squash Salad with Haloumi was delicious. The desserts very tasty. Highly recommended.

Perfect Sunday lunch, staff can't do enough for you

Popular for a reason but it's popularity is why I can't give it 5 stars as it's always busy when I go there. Assume mid week it's chill

Sunday lunch was OK but roasties were over cooked. Food soon went cold on a Lukewarm warm plate

We hired the tepee for a short notice hen party celebration for a friend. The buffet provided was delicious with vegan and gluten free options. We were able to decorate with bunting and photos etc. There was a bluetooth speaker provided which was really simple to connect to. The firepit inside the tepee made it lovely and comfortable. Our waitress Anna was so friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience.

We visited the Boot for my sister's 70th birthday. We sat in the covered area outside, which is really nice. My wife was in a wheelchair and the staff were very accommodating. Food was great. Recommended.

Good quality and reasonably priced food. Exceptional service during a busy Sunday lunch. Well worth trying.....10/10.

went for a couple of beers after a long walk. Ordered a pint of Atlantic Pale Ale and queried when it was full if it was meant to be a cloudy ale and was informed by the barman it was. Started drinking it and it was bitter to the taste so I queried again to be told by the same barman he'd worked there 3 years and it's always been cloudy, with no mention of changing the beer. So I left it on the bar and left the pub. I've Looked on the brewery website since and it's not a cloudy ale at all. So unless they haven't cleaned their pipes for 3 years it was the end of the barrell as i suspected. It's probable that due to being in our walking clothes we weren't treated with the same degree of respect you'd expect. the Inn otherwise seems popular, but the barman needs to learn to look past what people wear and offer the same service to all, irrespective of initial impressions.

This pub is usually excellent but on Saturday we had terrible service from multiple people. We came as part of a large party for a significant birthday was shocked by the standard of service/attitudes of staff. I totally appreciate that it was a bank holiday and staff were likely pressurised but as soon as we arrived, we were brusquely told to 'sit down'. Members of the group were still greeting family members who had travelled from other countries and I found this to be unnecessary. The waiter assigned to us was likely attempting to come across as good natured and funny but actually missed the mark and was quite rude and patronising. The drinks took an hour to arrive and we didn't get our food until 2 hours after arrival. One of the party politely enquired about the delay (reasonably). There was then a noticeable shift in treatment from staff. I totally understand that large groups can be challenging on busy days but we all did our best to be friendly and polite. I recommended this pub to everyone for big birthdays/ life events as the food is brilliant but this experience was very disappointing

Was a little disappointed in the vegetarian options as my friend only had 1 main meal to choose from. Otherwise a lovely evening.

Excellent Sunday Lunch. Great vegetarian option. Staff attentive and do a great job. Will visit again.

Stumbled on this place on return from viewing a venue nearby. Very busy in a Sunday lunchtime. Staff did accommodate us though, for which we were grateful. (Table for 3) Food was nice BUT do not recommend the Prawns with Sourdough... Prawns came shell on with finger bowls. Absolute nightmare to peel. Sourdough lovely though. Drinks too sweet. Ordered 2 Mocktails - proportion of ingredients didn't seem balanced. Wouldn't necessarily go again though, based on today's experience.

Excellent food and wine. Lovely place to go for lunch. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Nice cold drink on a sunny evening

First time here lovely yes we will be going back

Nipped in for a Guinness so didn't eat but the food that went by looked ace. Lovely pub ace staff

This is lovely pub ,it has a fabulous atmosphere good food and looks stunning. All the makings of a hood night out. It even has open fires, which is a winner with me.

Great place - cosy and a great place to spend an evening . Lovely garden in the summer too.

Food was excellent along with the staff.Our waitress Tara was very attentive and added to our whole experience.Will definitely be making a point to visit again when I’m back in the area.Definitely recommend this lovely pub to anyone!

Excellent overall....however the Ribeye not the best....great pub, atmosphere, beers etc

Really good food and great service will definitely be going back soon

Very cozy place for wine & dine. I personally love marquee seating. I always order potato wedges here!

Calling ahead to advise of our travel delays The Boot were most accommodating on a very busy day. An hour late they called back to check our progress & still confirmed we could be fed. Parking advice was politely offered. Our damp spaniel was welcomed. All waiting staff were happy, quick and eager to offer the great service we received. The pork chop was as superb as the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Even the small pot of tea contained two teabags and boiled water. Thank you and here’s to a prosperous new year to the staff & management at The Boot.

From the outside a little country pub but hidden inside is a restaurant worth a Michelin star. Amazing food for still a reasonable price plus outstanding customer service. If you haven't been yet - go 😉

We went in during a busy Saturday in the lead up to Christmas. The place was completely full, with lots of big groups, so we were expecting long delays, but no - this is an amazingly well run pub, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. The food was incredibly good and was delivered to us quite quickly. The pub itself is lovely too, couldn't fault a thing!

Me and the wife absolutely love this place! Fantastic service and food is outstanding

Chicken skewer starter come out pink. Paid £30 for steak that wasnt great, don’t even come out with any traditional sauces. chips that had no potato in. Wont be coming back got ripped of.

There are quite a few similar places to eat in this general area. They are all moderately expensive and mostly a bit disappointing in terms of food quality or service. Except the Boot, however, which is really good and definitely worth checking out

My friend hired out the teepee for the evening for her sons 21st. Was lovely but my god it was cold even though they had the gas burning fire on in there and blankets. We all still had a fab time though.

Second time back. The roast beef was just 😘👌🏽. The vegetarian option apparently was very tasty too. Customer service was attentive but not overbearing. Waiters and waitresses were extremely polite and quick to respond to our needs as a group of 6. Looks like we will be back again soon!

Really lovely staff, and food was excellent. Sunday roast dinner was superb.

That was amazing meeting and restaurant is really beautiful. I had enjoyed every moment ❣️

Beautiful pub with excellent food and service

Great for a canal walk lunch stop

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch with the family and got a last min booking too. Brilliant food and service.

Excellent food, service and ambiance. Delicious with care and attention.

Portion size for the large vegan salad was tiny. Not many leaves at all. Poor standard for such a well known pub . Wish I had taken a picture - won’t be returning

Great pub in a lovely setting. Food was great. Would definitely recommend

I’ve been here a number of times over the years and always enjoyed the vibe, atmosphere and pretty good food. The prices aren’t cheap but you do get good service and food. The staff are always friendly, which I like. There’s been a good outdoor area for the summer and a covered seating area outside for the restaurant. 🤗 Nice and close for a canal walk before have a drink. I’m happy to recommend The Boot Inn

Nice traditional pub with excellent ale and food

A great place for a nice lunch.

Really tasty and flavourful food. Had the Korean spiced Wedges as a starter and they were so tasty with perfect spices (they're listed in the side dishes). Then had the rump steak which was perfectly cooked medium rare (as recommended). My wife had the pork chop and it was also very flavorful with a delicious sauce. Desserts were also extremely good and of course homemade. Other comments are saying it is pricy, I'd agree but it is definitely worth it. Take it as treat to yourself. We sat in the tent because we were dogsitting. Thumbs up for being dog-friendly. The tent temperature takes a bit getting used to. You get quite warm when the heaters are on.

We were on our annual boating trip and discovered this absolute gem! We eat out a lot and love good food and great service with a lovely atmosphere and this has it all! We came back for lunch and dinner 4 times in 3 days!! Highly recommended

We went because they allowed dogs in, and one of our party was bringing a dog. The food and service was superb although a little pricier than I expected. Even so I would recommend this place.
