The Boot Pub in Three Rivers

Great friendly pub and great coffee.

Character pub in a beautiful country location My friends, family and I regularly walk in Hertfordshire and often end up at a pub for breakfast or lunch. We have been to The Boot many times over the years and have always found the food to be very good, reasonably priced and in generous portions. They cater for gluten-free, vegan and vegetarians too. This pub is well run by Zoe (the landlady) who obviously trains her staff well as they are always very attentive and polite, no matter how young they are. Emily deserves a special mention. The Boot, which has a long history, has preserved its old character with original fireplace beams, etc. This is a cozy little country pub with lots of lovely walks nearby. It is dog and kids friendly - kids parties seen on occasions during the day. Good size car park and free off street parking.

Cooked sausages for our dog and served separately

Good service and nice staff but food under par, nothing special about any of it. Calamari starter was bland and the Caesar salad was massive but poor. Prices are ok but I wouldn’t rush back at all.

My neighbour friend and I walk every week and stop at a pub for breakfast or lunch. Last had breakfast this Saturday. We must have eaten at The Boot at least 20 times and after receiving consistently good service and food I felt it was about time I wrote a well-deserved review. This is a quaint unspoilt cozy pub with lots of history. It has preserved its old character too – low beams, fireplace, etc. The landlady is very pleasant and always greets customers with a smile. No matter how young the staff, they are all so well-trained you cannot but be impressed – good service, attentive and very polite. Emily is a gem. The food is always delicious, good portions and reasonably priced. The menu has plenty of different choices, including vegan and for children. I could not recommend this pub enough as after so many visits we have never been disappointed.

An excellent Sunday lunch with wide selection of roasts - great food and very friendly service from all staff in a lovely village pub

Booked a section of the pub for a 1st birthday party (14 adults, 7 kids and 5 babies) - staff were very accommodating and friendly, Esme in particular was very helpful! Food on the expensive side but delicious. Great family pub with kids outdoor play area. Would highly recommend and will be returning soon!

Enjoyed food here before but this time stopped for breakfast. Perfect scrambled eggs, everything else great as well, lovely roomy space to have breakfast compared to a cafe and landlady super friendly, service was perfect. Love it!

Large (140 Family/Friends 30 kids) celebration from midday to closing time. Twin fortieth birthdays. The cook-out style finger food was delicious! Selection of beers, wines & warm drinks first class. The Boot as a venue is excellent with play areas for kids of all ages. Staff are welcoming and work hard to give us all a memorable time. Finest Kind!

Lovley location, brilliant staff and amazing food. 15/10. Will definitely visit again

Lovely pub was here for family Christmas get together Last year, lovely staff good service good price great food went back a couple of weeks ago and it was just as good really enjoyed it. Thanks.

We hosted our daughter’s naming ceremony in The Boot marquee. The staff, organization, venue, food and drinks were all perfect! We couldn’t have asked for a better day and the event was organised and run perfectly by The Boot team! Communication from when we booked the marquee was brilliant. Our friends and family commented on how amazing the outdoor bar, marquee and staff were all day. We will definitely host future events here!

Awesome gem that I’ve found just by searching for kid-friendly places reasonably close to all relatives and friends invited to my son’s third birthday. It’s the sort of place that would deserve to exceed the usual review scale, six stars would at least be required to represent the distance between The Boot and many other places that I reviewed with 5 stars. Ever since we set foot into this great pub, we’ve been welcomed with smiles and a level of kindness that other places reserve only for returning guests. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and there’s a wide range of good cocktails, beers and wines available. The kids play area is wonderful and my son played all afternoon. There are also many tables close to the play area so adults can have food there while keeping an eye on their children. The weather wasn’t great so we had food indoors, and even if our table was near the kitchen, no smell or noise disturbed us. All the staff sang Happy Birthday to my son while taking the cake that we had been allowed to bring over, and overall it’s been a perfect day. I will definitely look for opportunities to come back here.

We were a walking group of fifteen who enjoyed a great meal after our early evening walk. The service and food were fantastic and the great organisation of the order and individual bills was really appreciated by everyone. Every meal was attractively presented and we were all really happy with our food. A particular favourite was the Sticky Salmon.

Beautiful old pub with lovely seating out the front. A great variety of deals and specials are available and we were happy with the lunchtime offerings. The confusion over the number of portions of skinny fries were quickly resolved by a very friendly member of staff. And the food was good.

Had an afternoon tea for 46 people in the marquee which was decorated beautifully. The staff were amazing, the food was exceptional and would highly recommend.

First visit to the pub on Sunday 25th. Jonathon was looking after us. He was informative , friendly and made us feel very welcome. My partner had the roast beef which she described as just amazing and I had the dirty burger. Portion size good, Great food highly recommend.

Lovely pub, nice family friendly atmosphere but food was a bit overpriced for the quality.

After a beautiful walk in The Chess Valley we visited The Boot for the Tuesday special of Fish'n'chips'. Fantastic value at £8. Really the loveliest batter on a piece of fish I've ever had! Very flavoursome, crisp and hot, chips were decent enough with a small portion of mushy peas. The real ale from local Tring Brewery was excellent with a few other ales available too. Very dog friendly, our lovely waitress Beth happily re-filled the water bowls and was very attentive and helpful. I'd happily return and recommend. Thank you The Boot.

Having looked at a number of pub menus for a mid walk lunch I settled on the Boot, mainly because it had both main meals but also a selection of sandwiches over the lunchtime hours. So glad I chose this pub. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly, with smiles and excellent service from each member of staff (three in total) that attended to us. A recommendation for the Aspall’s blush also went down well as did the Pimms which was deliciously fruity. I was surprised at how many diners there were indoors on a Thursday lunchtime but given our experience I can understand why!! The food was excellent (tuna panini, cod goujon ciabatta & a portion of chunky chips) and we finished off our meal with a flat white - which was huge and flavoursome! I will definitely return! Friday fizz sounds good as does the quiz and other events being advertised! Well done team!!

With it being a very hot Sunday and the place buzzing both inside and out, we, a party of 6, were expecting a long wait for our table and food. We were pleasantly surprised therefore to be seated immediately by a very attentive staff member with drinks appearing within minutes. Similarly our food order was taken and our meals were on the table very quickly. The food was excellent as were the staff who were operating under what must have been manic conditions. Thank you The Boot at Sarratt for a very enjoyable lunch.

Absolutly fab sunday roast .make sure you book first very busy both inside and in garden Staff very friendly and attentive will definatly return

We arranged to have afternoon tea for my nans retirement, all of the children played in the garden which was safe and secure. We had wonder time, my nan and all of our family were delighted with the food and staff were so lovely and attentive.

We held our kids party here recently for over 30 children. The venue and staff were excellent - nothing was too much trouble and the party went on much longer as a result because everyone was enjoying it all so much. Staff got stuck into party games and helped hand out the party favours and are a true credit to the Boot. Food was delicious and ample and out in a timely manner.

Great pub, especially if you have kids. There is a massive play area outside, and the benches are right next to it. It's also enclosed, so they can't escape. lol we didn't eat, but the food coming out looks amazing. 👌🏼 will 100% go back to this one

Food was terrible. Had a funny taste to it. My elderly auntie who was with me ate fish and chips, she got home and spent 3 days in bed throwing up. The chips I had were cold and had so many bad bits in them they were very off putting. It also didn't say that they had the skin on. I ate 1 of my aunt's fat chips and it tasted vile. They should have one fryer for chips and a different fryer for fish. Shame as the place and service were amazing.

Came in on a very busy Sunday, the food was delicious, great courtyard for the kids to play on, lonely environment. Highly recommend

Had a fantastic Sunday roast sitting outside. Attentive service and lovely setting. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and attentive, good food and service. Nick and Zoe have a great team, and look after you very well. Great for families (large garden and play area to entertain young children)

Great big play area for kids,nice food too

Had a Sunday lunch here with family. The roast was so tasty and great value for money. Really friendly and attentive staff, would recommend.

Fantastic country pub with views over the green. Cosy atmosphere and great staff. Food was very good. Plenty of outside seating and parking.

Disappointed with our Sunday Roast which was pretty expensive and swimming in gravy. The menu was limited of choice. The area outside is mainly for children and the other outside seating did not look very comfortable so we sat inside. Service was good and attentive.

This place is just wonderful. Really impressed with the food and the service was fantastic. Will definitely come again.

Had Sunday lunch and it was superb. Plenty of staff looking after the tables and all very cheerful and helpful. We couldn't fault anything. Thank you. Also, very dog friendly. Boris was made to feel as welcome as us. Wonderful.

We were travelling to Mount Vernon hospital and asked if we could park our campervan overnight as we were eating Despite the Boot having had issues in the past we were welcomed Checked in on arrival and a very friendly staff member said hi , no problem just park where you like Several pints of good beer and a delicious burger later we retired to the van …great nights sleep as it was really quiet From start to finish 100% Man thanks and we will be back Chris and Lise Grey campervan

we had amazing vegan food . Waitress had a can do attitude and asked the chef if he could make us couple of dishes which meets our dietary requirements in spite of being busy. I have been there 4 times .

Good food and friendly service.. thank you for your welcome for us and the children.

Such a lovely quintessential English pub. Great food, service and atmosphere.

No vegan options on the garden menu, really poor for 2024! Was offered the choice of two options on a different menu. Extremely overpriced for mediocre food. Portions were quite generous though. On the bright side, lovely garden with a play park for the kids.

A lovely tasty lunchtime meal with my friends today 24th May 2024. Friendly and welcoming will be going again.

Nice looking pub, feels warm and like a proper pub if that makes sense My girlfriend had the risotto that she described as very average, and the lamb 'special' was about as special as a boot given how overcooked it was, the bread was also very soggy that it was served on... £20 wasted, was not worth anywhere near that I'd recommend a pint and to catch up, but wouldn't recommend those dishes for food Staff were also nice, though it did take a very long time to get food even though it was pretty quiet

Delicious family lunch. Grandson enjoyed the play area

A local gem particularly if you have children. The large playground will keep children entertained for hours while you enjoy a drink and meal with friends. The portion sizes are big and food is tasty. Staff are friendly too.

Good traditional roast although not as hot as would like it. Parts of the Chicken was very dry. The beef was good, potatoes not crispy. Gravy lovely

Lovely food .staff friendly old fashion pub but lovely

I had a roast here today, the food was cold and the reception was colder I don't want chewy beef or snotty chefs coughing all over my food Take note Nick, make it right Dirty, horrible human This won't end

Food was over cooked and dry. Nice staff though

Lovely local pub vibes with great food and super friendly service.

Upon first approaching The Boot at Sarrat is looking a little tired and unkempt. Inside is the same. Behind the bar needs a good tidy up and it could use a lick of paint. Service was a little slow as the bar staff were distracted amongst themselves with talking, youngsters need to pay a little more attention these days 😆. Dog friendly, cider selection not great, a recurring theme in pubs in this area I'm afraid.

An enjoyable meal. I had the crispy shredded beef for starters and jerk chicken for the mains (which was a special). The portion size for the jerk chicken was quite large. Reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly. I'd certainly recommend The Boot and will definitely return.

Great food, very busy but was really organised, staff made sure we had everything we needed, quick service, would definitely recommend 😀

Had a lovely Birthday celebration Sunday Roast dinners Jonathan & staff looked after us & catered for our Dietary needs too a wonderfull afternoon

Celebration meal with friends, excellent service by Matt and attention to detail. Food was fantastic and highly recommended. A very enjoyable evening, thanks for looking after us 😀👍🏻

Great food great and friendly service Thanks Matt & johnathan.

My father John is a regular and has recently been ill. The pub staff have been very kind to him and whilst staying locally I have had a couple of good meals in the pub. The management should be proud of their team.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Boot in Sarratt is a fantastic pub that I cannot recommend enough. Zoe and the team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive, making every visit a delightful experience. This pub truly welcomes everyone, including families with children and even furry friends, providing great garden facilities for all. The roast dinners here are simply delicious and offer exceptional value for money. The extensive wine list and versatile menu provide a plethora of options, including daily specials that never fail to impress. The entire experience at The Boot is one of warmth, comfort, and incredible hospitality. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot for a family meal or a relaxing evening out, The Boot in Sarratt is the place to be. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Cannot recommend this place enough!

Had a fabulous lunch with family yesterday. We were a party of 12, and found the service and food outstanding! Staff couldn't do enough make a special day for us, perfect! Every dish ordered was also first class. Thank you

The owner of the boot is mostly present and very welcoming and her staff are some of the most friendliest people I have come across in the hospitality business. Their food is terrific and the make really nice hot chocolate with marshmallows 😍

We went for Sunday lunch at The Boot and were really impressed. The food was substantial and tasty, the service was attentive and welcoming, and the setting was warm and inviting. I really encourage others to visit; Zoe and the staff are doing an excellent job in our opinion.

We chose to host a 40th Birthday Party in the marquee at The Boot... in February! We couldn't have been happier with the decision - everything about the event was perfect, from the first enquiry, through to the incredibly dedicated and professional service on the day itself. Playful kids had the benefits of the outdoor space, whilst adults enjoyed the warmed indoor space. The buffet options were excellent, quality top-notch and staff superbly attentive. Thank you to Adam, Zoe and the team at The Boot - well done all :-)

The service here was fantastic as was the food. Genuine lovely country pub.

Now we've got to come back and find a meal that isn't spectacular. Great service, and the flavours in our meals were amazing. Thanks for giving us a little bag for my daughter's loose tooth!

Very pleasant pub with exceptionally attentive service from their lovely young team. Must be a very good manager in the background! Good food on a very busy Sunday lunchtime.

Awful experience for my daughters birthday meal, rowdy table nearby other tables got moved, but because we were a larger table had to endure it, nothing they said could be done as they didn't use a swear word, with no recompense, not what you expect from a Sunday lunch at a country pub.

Clean restaurant. Doesn't serve food except between 5-7pm...

Simply one of the best pubs in the country. Highly recommended.

We attended on boxing day as part of a cat meet. Food was good, but over priced and like warm tea,

Extremely friendly welcome, which is rare these days. Didn't eat on this occasion, but the food looked fantastic. Lots of happy diners. Very accommodating and great staff.

Fantastic food. Amazing atmosphere

The usual Pint, on Vintage Day (Boxing Day) Great Pub..!

Cozy place, with a good terrace for children. In winter perfect for a warm lunch in the pub. The staff was great, really efficient. And all the food we order for a big group was tasty and delicious. Highly recommended.

A very nice pub with a nice outdoor space for children to play. Food is very good with great service

Very warm dog-friendly pub with great staff and lots of space inside and out.

Enjoyed a very good Sunday lunch as a family group, roast specials were great with Turkey also on as a bonus. Thank you The Boot team!

Eighteen of us went for our annual Christmas lunch to The Boot today. We all had such a fantastic time. The food was amazing hot and to a high standard. Nothing was too much trouble for Zoe and her staff, our comfort being their first...

Lovely cosy pub which felt so festive when we had dinner here recently. The mini Christmas lunch was really tasty which isn’t always the case with a turkey dinner and our servers Charlotte and Amelie were brilliant and so attentive.

This lovely country pub in Sarratt is well worth a visit. Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere and fabulous service. Would highly recommend 👌

Pleased I went back. I lunched at the pub a few weeks ago ( review left) and was less than impressed by the quality of the food. However a return visit, very recently, proved worthwhile. The service was as good as the first visit by...

Wrong chutney and garnish brought with pate starter. They changed it, but used the same plate and just scraped off the old one, so the presentation was horrible and unappetizing. Scampi mains was over-cooked, burned. and tough. Wait staff very rushed and didn’t seem concerned....

Thank you for the attentive, great service Sophie The family and friends went for lunch Sunday 26th Nov, was a good lunch, a variety of roasts, fish and chips and "dirty burgers" Food maybe a tad on the expensive side £18.50 to £24 per head...

An AMAZING veggie roast with lovely staff.

Third time and always exceptional, Early Spring, Summer and now Autumn! Both Vegetarian and meat-eaters can be happy and there are many seasonal choices.

Incredibly good food and service. Highly recommended. 😍

I visited this pub at the weekend and must say how lovely it was. We were there for a friend's birthday celebrations in a marquee outside, and the service was brilliant. The waiters and waitresses were always very helpful and went above and beyond to...

After a long wet walk, light lunch at The Boot was just perfect. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere and personal service.

We had a first birthday party in the Marquee at the Boot and our host, Adam, was phenomenal. He was always on hand to support plans, was adaptable to any last minute changes to table arrangements and made sure we had everything we needed for...

Wonderful atmosphere. Best pub for miles 👌

Great food, great service, great pub. Whole family really enjoyed our latest visit and will definitely be returning. Cheers

The Boot is a lovely cosy village pub with a roaring fire. The service was excellent and so was the food. Keep up the good work and I'll pop in again soon!

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch today. Place was packed, but service was good and food delicious. We will be back!

Lovely lunch with large garden to enjoy the weather and socialise with friends and family very nice outside lighting and seating

Always have a good experience here at The Boot, excellent food and service and a great location on the Green.

Fabulous lunch for my mum’s birthday. Food was excellent and the service was equally good. Would definitely recommend a visit to this lovely, cozy, country pub.

My friend and I decided to go for a last minute Sunday lunch so headed down to The Boot. It was very busy but got seated down. Ciara was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. The food was lovely! We had starters and...

Fantastic food . Amazing staff worth going to

It has been quite some time since I visited The Boot and things have changed both in decor and the food. I remember a cosy pub with old wooden tables whereas they now seem more suited to an average cafe. I found the food very...

I had my 40th birthday get together with family and friends at The Boot; the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn’t have done enough for us. Couldn’t recommend more highly
