The Boot & Shoe in Lancaster

Great food, nice service, lovely atmosphere.

Been here a few times now and every time it’s brilliant. Recently changed their menu and it’s absolutely delicious!

Came in Friday night, the girls who served us were brill, would recommend!!

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is good Service was quick

Nice pub with loads of beers on tap food was good, staff friendly, play area out back 👍🏻🍻

Not been in since 1980...good pub🍻🍻

We use this pub for our car club meeting. The service is good and the food is decent.

The food is nice and the bar is also nice. The food appears to have been cooked to order and was fresh and tasty. It took too long to get served though which was a shame really. I've never eaten here before and the waitress was excellent and works so hard. Glad we went. It's just down the road from my son's uni at Lancaster. Good location.

Great food nice pub lovely Sunday lunch

Had a Thursday lunch with my Grandmother. I am a vegetarian of 26 years and the Tofu Burger was the nicest I've ever had. My Grandmother was very happy with her food too. I will definitely be returning. The staff were excellent. Thank you.

Stopped off for a bite of lunch, friendly staff, nice food which was not badly priced, lovely and clean with a nice beer garden, would definitely come back.

This pub was a nice pit stop. We weren’t thrilled with one of the staff members after receiving a frosty reception but the other staff members seemed nice. We had the pizza here, one spicy chicken and one meat feast. They were very filling but I personally found it a bit lacklustre. The atmosphere and decor was very nice and gave a good ambiance.

Lovely food, took a while to come out as a Saturday eve. Staff were lovely

Today we took a couple of our friends out for lunch. We had been here before, but it was a few years ago. From the outside, coming from the car park. It looked very inviting. On entering the building we were welcomed by a young female, and she said you can sit anywhere that isn’t reserved. The inside was really nice and welcoming. The menu wasn’t too big but sounded nice. We ordered 3 times fish and chips and one flatbread with chicken. The fish was small and almost disintegrated. All 3 portions were the same. They offered to changed the fish. But to be honest I don’t think anyone could be bothered to get another order of the same. The flatbread was ok but not something I would have again. Sadly I would not recommend this restaurant. And sadly we won’t be returning.

A surprise visit to the Boot & Shoe turned out to be a very good experience. Will be returning.

A lovely pub, mix of very family friendly area, more casual drinking and a semi Lounge area for those that remember them. All in all, a great mix of different drinking areas. Lovely friendly staff, good selection of Ale. We also had food, good selection of pub favourites all at a reasonable price, ours was very tasty. Our crazy Border Collie Daisy was also very welcome – what a lovely local pub, little sad we were only passing through.

we order seabass and vegetables x4 the fish was un seasoned and soggy extremely bland at best I appreciate that they was pretty busy ill never eat here again first and last time for me service was so slow they may as well of been in reverse I can't believe 4 of us wasted money in here

Gorgeous building, light and airy with lots of room. Dog friendly as well with water and treats and a warm welcome the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful . The food was prepared quickly and very tasty

We loved our meal here the staff were so friendly, helpful and looked after us really well. The food was lovely and the service was done efficiently and smoothly. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be definitely be going again. Thank you 😊

Arrived at 8pm for a few drinks and food. Without a welcome, informed food no longer being served, despite a table next to us being served for food at the same time as we were refused. The waitress was rude and I believe service was refused due to being an lgbt+ party.

Great service, good food, the wine we wanted wasn't available, but we were happy with the alternative choice, value for money

My family and I visited for dinner and had a great time. Food was spot-on and the staff were very attentive and were lovely with my kids. Great drinks selection too. We will return!

Just been to the Thursday night quiz night in the Boot and shoe. Staff were welcoming and friendly and John, the landlord, was a great host and amusing quiz master. Excellent night.

Been to this venue numerous times and this was the worst experience so far, one of the drinks was had no ice in it when i asked for ice, the food was slow to turn up, the starter turned up with the main meal and was overcooked and going cold, the fish and chips were not fresh and warmed up, the mixed grill was good, and the last drink that we ordered never even turned up and there were kids running all over the place

Updating my review after enjoying a fantastic Sunday dinner here. Portion sizes are generous and the food was fantastic.

Food was a bit plain but fresh. The service was not very friendly, not sure if it’s because we are non native speakers or what, it made me and friends think we owe them money😐

Lovely dog friendly pub, excellent food, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, reasonably priced, have eaten here twice, Sunday dinner was amazing, will definitely return again and again.

It’s not a horrible place, don’t be scared have a try.

Really good tasty food! The stake and ale pie is really good and hearty , portion sizes are alright! Plenty to fill you , not enough to make you skip pudding ! Good crowd , but nicely spaced tables so not to rowdy

Always come here when I am in Lancaster! Was served by Shane who was great and very friendly. Food is lovely and great atmosphere

Always a friendly welcome and the food is always nice

Good beer garden and great beers. 1 certain bar staff is very rude (tattoos on her arm) other team members are great help!

Great pub and really good food. Staff and service were excellent.

From the outside, coming up Scotforth Road, this looks like just another old man pub. But don't be deceived, then into their carpark and you see a whole different side to it. Lovely back garden with a play area, step inside and it is beautifully modern and cosy, with hanging shoe molds - a bod to the pub's namesake. We had the Greek chicken flatbread, small glasses of wine and an assortment of puddings. All well priced and delicious. The waitress was really helpful and friendly and for the 4 of us it came to just under £25 each which we were really chuffed with. We will definitely be coming here again.

Warm very welcome and quick and easy ordering - food up to its usual standard - many thanks for John and his team for looking after us on this visit on such as busy day (it was the Euro's Final a couple of hours after we were there).

Below average food and limited menu. Service at bar was poor.

Hate to complain but the sandwich wasn't nice. The bread was very nice and the English Mustard was missing. The coleslaw was very watery. The staff are very nice and the atmosphere is lovely.

Lovely family friendly pub with great food and nice function room for parties

Went for lunch today with our family of 4. We had the 2 mains for £20.95 lunch deal. I had scampi and chips which were excellent and not at all greasy which I have experienced at other places in the past. Mum had fish goujons and chunky chips. She didn't manage it all, however they were too good to leave, so they kindly gave us a takeaway box. My sister had the 4oz gammon which was also excellent. The staff were very friendly and efficient and we will definitely be returning.

Relaxing restaurant,great décor. Food was good. Service was fast and pleasant.

Service was a little slow, but the food was very good. Ample space to sit and watch the kids play, in the outdoor play area.

Food and service both excellent

Food came out with two missing items, one was brought five minutes later, but the other was never brought. When I raised this I wasn't offered any apology, and the server clearly didn't care. Very disappointed, mistakes happen but ought to be rectified or at least apologised for.

My son lives opposite so it’s the ideal place to go and eat with them unfortunately he was out of town so it was just the two of us. It’s still friendly. The foods still good and still good value. Just the place to eat and drink.

Nice pub, good food, friendly staff

We visit from time to time as it offers good value for money and has a pleasant interior and good beer garden. The Boot and Shoe offer a small selection of real ales. The food is typical 'pub grub' with all the usual suspects and nothing to complain about. Service is friendly and efficient. Worth a visit for its consistency.

Great pub with lovely, friendly staff! It's so big inside too, it's surprising! There are plenty of choices for seating. The food was delicious!

We stopped here on our way back to our hotel after a day of exploring, and we were thrilled to be surprised with a playground for our kids to play on while waiting for their food!! Food was great, and well priced. The only downside was that the service, although extremely friendly, was a bit slow. We had time so it wasn't a big deal, however it seemed to take an excessive amount of time from walking into the restaurant vs leaving after paying. Overall would definitely return!!

First time we have eaten there. Both Ange, Dan and other staff gave excellent service and the food was fatastic, good value for money. Lovely mixed grills, Grilled Seabass, pizza, messy chips and Halloumi fries. Will definitely be going back again soon.

A warm and pleasant welcome from the staff. We had pre-booked as a large party cycling from the lakes to Manchester for charity. They were very accommodating, allowing us to keep our bikes within the restaurant. It’s a large establishment that can accommodate large groups. Our orders were taken quickly and all correct. Top marks for efficiency and service.

Had the fish and chips the batter if you can call it that was the worst batter I've tasted it was soggy and quite a few of the chips were hard I definitely will not be going back.

From the ease of booking online to leaving the venue, every aspect was spot on! Will definitely return. Thankyou team Boot and shoe

One night stop over in the car park. Found it through “Search for sites app” A lovely bottle of Shiraz. Two stunning pizza’s £45 Happy days Lovely staff, very helpful, very happy Thank you Angie 😎 we will be back x

Staff really friendly and helpful. Good value hot food nicely presented. Definitely coming back. Atmosphere not too noisy.

Return visit and just as good. Went for the pizza this time. It was absolutely delicious.

I honestly think this place gets worse each time I've visited. Poor service, missing items, burnt pizza, burnt sticky toffee (if that's even possible) it actually tasted like a burnt ginger cake covered in toffee sauce... overpriced soft drinks. Waste of £30.

Food was good but service was the worst I have ever had! We booked for a childs 4th birthday party at least 3 days ln advance. We also gave them the food order from the main and set menu at the time of booking. We all arrived at 6;00pm on time as it was the earliest everyone could make. After waiting 30 mins we were told they couldn't provide any of the sweets ordered on the set menu as they had not ordered the ingredients even though the sweets had been pre booked. We were asked to choose from the main menu. We then waited again for just under an hour, and had to ask several times when the food was coming as the children were hungry and it was getting past there bedtime. Eventually it began arriving. It took 10 mins between the first and last dish to arrive and they sent 5 instead of 4 children meals, and forgot about one of the adult meals that then had to be cooked. We had to ask for the table to be cleared and the sweets to be served once we had finished as they left the plates on the table another 15 minutes after everyone had finished the first course. Eventually they were served. After some discussion they said they could reduce the bill by 10% but were charging more for the sweets from the main menu. There was therefore another discussion before we agreed on an amount and left. Overall a total shambles.

Good modern looking local pub with pizza oven as well as usual pub food selection. Smaller side rooms as well as main lounge area and outside patio with small play area.

What a wonderful pub . From the minute you walk in you feel so welcome. The staff are amazing, above and beyond in their hospitality. The ambience in the pub is great , just a lovely place for a family meal. The decor is spot on , and there's a beer garden and play area for the kids in the warmer months. The food was fantastic. Three of our party had burgers , they were huge, tasty and excellent value for money. We also had the gammon and a roast roll , again, huge , tasty and excellent value. I highly recommend a visit to the Boot and Shoe

Catered very well for our party of ten. Friendly and helpful serving staff. Everything lovely clean and bright. Little kids enjoyed it too. Recommend.

We've been here a few times before and we never have a problem. The staff are always so lovely and welcoming and always helpful. We had the goats cheese pizza and Camembert sharer on this occasion and OMG is was all so delicious. I'm a massive lover of cheese so when I saw the Camembert on the menu it was a no brainier to have it. Thanks again for a lovely meal, we will be back again soon.

Lovely food, nice choices and big servings.

A well run place staff all very friendly and efficient. Food was very good. We will go again. Thanks 👍

What a fantastic service from all the staff. The manager went that extra mile and made us feel very welcome. Some great quality food and drinks. Definitely will be back again . Thank you.

Lovely welcome, staff very friendly. We had the roast dinner it was lovely , we couldnt manage a sweet the roast was huge. Thankyou so much.

Great evening with great service and fab food. Would definitely recommend 😊

Turned up on whim and was pleasantly surprised at the speed and quality of service and food. Do not miss the filly steak and fish and chips.....an absolute delight.

Undercooked and cold chips with a tasteless steak sandwich for myself. My grandson’s cheeseburger arrived with no cheese and returned overcooked and the fries cold. My wife’s pie pastry was thick and not cooked and her chips raw. Service terrible and a disgusting place to eat

What a find! Lovely atmosphere, had a nice buzz when we visited early evening. We were greeted by Rachel who was very welcoming and friendly. Our drinks were brought to the table (which was good as some places you have to go to the bar) within a few minutes of ordering. Our food was delicious, very tasty and served by friendly staff after a short wait. There’s a large beer garden with a play area and lots of seating, sadly it was too cold to use this time. We will definitely be returning!!

Just popped in while on the way to Lancaster just by chance. Good food and friendly staff

Very friendly staff and excellent food thank you

We haven't been here for a while. We really enjoyed our food in the past and this time also nice. Mains arrived hot and came quickly served by a lovely server who asked if we needed anything else and he checked we enjoyed our food. It was very busy I noticed a quiz night so maybe will try lunch time next time. I was impressed I could get a nice vegan pasta and some puddings could be adapted too. If anything to improve for us would be orders from the table than going to the bar which is a hassle for pudding when your all settled after eating the mains! On this occasion puddings took ages to arrive. Also our initial greeting was rather curt by a woman wearing a fleece over her uniform, so we thought she was a customer so did not really know she was part of the team . Saying only 'yes' perhaps 'would you like a table'? I would certainly go again next time a vegan pizza as pizzas looked so nice.

Food was fantastic service staff were very friendly and polite but a little slow to take away dirty dishes otherwise great

Great meal, lovely friendly staff. I really enjoyed our trip there this evening. Everything was good, although a few more vegetarian options such as Beyond Burgers would make it complete. . Not been for many years until tonight - definitely back on the radar.

I cannot praise the service, food or anything and higher. Had a lovely night Alex was great, sat playing card games most of the night, wasn't rushed and made to feel pushed out. Overall a great night. Plus food was amazing too.

Dropped into the Boot and Shoe for a drink with my wife on Wednesday evening. Lovely friendly reception and service from the staff and great choice of beers and wine. Actually went back on Thursday to play in their quiz night. Great evening (even got free food, which was excellent) with the landlord running proceedings and making it a fun, enjoyable evening.

Booked a table and had a few drinks and meal. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Had the Sea Bass dish and it was excellent. Service quick and food reasonably priced. Would definitely return and try something else off the menu as there was loads of choice.

Went with my partner for a meal. The food was great and service even better. Maiya was an absolute star at her customer service as one who worked in this industry before. The pub was busy and she still came and checked up on us and made sure that everything was okay, which it was. Will definitely come again!

Really nice pub just a short drive from the city centre Plenty of outside seating for the summer months

Fantastic Christmas dinner. Well done to everyone especially Ang, Mia and Katie. But all all the kitchen staff too. Great venue looked after by John and Rachel. 🎄 🎅

A very pleasant pub, and good value to boot

Had the Festive menu for Christmas. The food was excellent. Big portions and great quality. Good value for money too. Highly recommend.

Excellent service Friendly staff Food lovely Definitely be back A+++++

Absolutely atrocious food. It was cold tasteless. Was there for a bit of food with our grandson who is 5 and even his burger was horrendous. Personally I’d sack the chef and manager if that’s all the crap you can serve

Excellent all round food was hot and friendly staff deffently go again

Food OK, nothing special, seemed like another pub chain meal. I'm glad it wasn't busy as it took them ages to take the payment.

We have just been for my mums 75th birthday and the food was delicious . Staff were wonderful , friendly and nothing was too much trouble . Would defiantly recommend :-)

Came here after my sister's graduation for a meal. We had been there for about 45 mins before ordering. When we ordered we were told there was no pizza dough left. This was really frustrating as we only really came for the pizza. Why didn't the staff tell us this when we first arrived instead of waiting 45 mins until we were ordering? At which point we were too hungry to go anywhere else. Also it's pretty bad a restaurant known for it's pizzas can run out of dough. Don't use the excuse that it's been busy. You know it's Christmas so you know it's going to be busy. Also the dough is so easy to make more of too. We're vegetarian so the other options didn't really entice us. I went for the veggie burger which was okay but I would be surprised if it was made in house, just tasted like it was frozen and deep fried. The salad and bun were one you'd get from a burger van. Chips were okay but again probably frozen. Overall a disappointing experience.

Long time since I visited pleasantly surprised. Would recommend 👌

Very friendly welcoming staff. Food good.

I’d already spoken to them last time regarding none of the toilet door locks working, not an easy oversight especially when it was a few weeks ago and they are used constantly every day. Visited again last week and still both toilet door locks do not operate at all. Food was good, starters excellent, mains good - atmosphere lovely and quiet

Very nice place to eat staff very helpful and polite

The atmosphere is quite good and cozy. drinks provided are good and with local specialties. It is worth to go and will definitely revisit here in near future.

This is great for an excellent pub lunch midweek, we had the cheese burger and fries (2 for 19.95) which were delivered quickly by the very pleasant young staff. Whenever we are in or passing through Lancaster this is our Number 1 choice for good...

Went for a hot drink missus had a latte I had a fruit tea due to me recently having a Gastric bypass. A blond female served us at the bar. She was very helpful when I asked for something none caffeine and sugar free and...

Great service and great for at getting of prices. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely return. If you are in the area, staying on Lancaster University campus or at Lancaster House Hotel this needs to be on your list of places to at.

From the pizza oven broken down to no pizza base fed up of going but never a pizza available!!! Local pub to us but might as well stay in and get a pizza delivered at least they don’t run out of base and turn there...

Warm welcome, chatty and friendly bar staff, lots of tables in restaurant with cosy nooks with amble heating. Food excellent and well worth a stop, or stop over in my case, they allowed me to stay in the car park in my campervan, would definitely...

Lovely hot food and very friendly staff. Maja and Sarah were absolutely fantastic all credit to them. Nothing was to much bother excellent service and great food. Will be back soon.

Two hour wait for food of very poor quality, despite booking. No information given that there would be long wait.
