The Boot in Aylesbury Vale

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful ambiance, lovely staff and amazing food!!

Beautiful establishment, wonderful staff, amazing food. Will definitely come back for some more.

Had a great meal here with some of my family. Lovely food and a good selection of drinks available. The specials menu changes weekly. Fantastic staff and service.

I booked the boot for my 30th birthday celebrations and it was superb. Gemma, the manager was so friendly, warm and organised and couldn’t do enough for the table (she even ended up learning most of our names!) the food was exceptionally good and the service was brilliant. Couldn’t fault it.

Came for a group meal of 10+ people for a friends birthday. Food was incredible and really good value for money. Staff were super friendly. Had a great time and couldn’t fault a single part of my visit, positives only!!

Food was absolutely superb! And portions very generous. Service spot on, really nice staff who couldn't be more helpful. Good selection of beers & wines. I have already started to recommend, and will continue to do so. I will definitely be back 👌

A lovely pub to visit. Definitely be mindful that it can get busy on Sunday so try and get there earlier in the day. It does have a warm atmosphere. I loved that on the tables by the bar there are trivia questions cards!

Updated review lovely country pub with amazing staff, super friendly and very personable. The food is delicious, the veggie options are great but could do with a few more options as you may end up having the same dish if visiting frequently.

Had an exceptional meal here on Saturday! The menu was so tempting that we had a hard time choosing, but luckily, being in a large group meant we got to sample a variety of dishes. Standouts were the bread with chicken skin butter, the incredibly tender beef short rib (honestly, they should rename it the 'long rib'!), and the lamb bonbons. The staff were warm and welcoming—special shoutout to Gem, who was an absolute rockstar! Will definitely be returning soon.

Exceptional food. Had snacks, main and pudding. All amazing quality. Great portions and the produce was all such high quality. Staff are super friendly and lovely place to have a catch up. Can’t wait for next visit!

Discovered this lovely, friendly country pub today. Brilliant staff. Had a fantastic roast (my partner said the porchetta roast was one of the best roasts he’s ever had!). We will definitely be back.

The service was absolutely fantastic, could not fault it. The food was excellent and would thoroughly recommend this as a really enjoyable experience.

Went with family for Sunday roast, after seeing reviews of wonderfull roasts, what a disappointment, the meal presentation was por, the food was almost cold, veg either overcooked or almost uncooked, portions very small, would not return, the staff were amazing.

Great food. Staff were very friendly. Worth a visit

We called in for a drink, after visiting Ascot Hse. Lovely village pub. Staff & service excellent.

Had a very good roast every thing was cooked very well my husband had the pie which was very good also . One snag ....felt that the puddings were very over priced

Beware the older waitress. Very passive aggressive if you dare to complain about anything. Big chip on her shoulder. Friends of ours said the same, so we didn't just catch her on a bad day unfortunately.

The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. It’s lovely when the chef comes out to check on the quality and asks you if you enjoyed your meal. Little details mean so much and I can say they excelled on all levels. Well done for a wonderful meal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Visited yesterday for Bottomless Brunch . We were so lucky with the Weather & sat outside & enjoyed the fantastic Live Jazz Singer. The Drinks flowed & The Food was Delicious. We had Mushroom Benedict & a pasta Dish, they were so nice. The Staff here were amazing , The Waitresses were friendly & very good at their jobs. The Lady who was maybe in charge was lovely, very chatty & welcoming & everyone there was having a great time ! Would highly recommend & will be back . Lovely Country pub in a Beautiful Village setting

Amazing experience yesterday. Pub was busy- great to see on a Tuesday lunch. Had fish and chips that was really exceptional. The homemade pie of the day was so good. Service was lovely. Thanks for having us. Will be back!

Came here for my 29th Birthday and it was a lovely evening! Food was delicious and piping hot, friendly and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere. Would come back again.

The best pub served Whitby Scampi around! Tasty and not covered in breadcrumbs. Worth driving over for.

Popped in for lunch with my Mum. Good food well-presented, and really friendly & helpful staff. Definitely going to return 🙂

We had an early lunch so pub was not particularly busy. Staff were lovely and very caring. The whole building and interior are beautiful and would definitely recommend 👌

'New Ownership' : 'The Boot', garden and parking have been transformed, but unfortunately the 'Welcome' sign did not live up to expectations. Unfortunately the 'welcoming' barmaid appeared rushed and off-hand. Food : Whitebait starter was really tasty, but not the promised large portion. Worst of all were the salad leaves which were stale, soggy and really brown. No recompense was offered. Pizzas were soggy in the middle and could have been improved with grated parmesan, if available. Disappointed at the lack of service, we will not be returning to this local venue. It could have been a lovely evening sat outside in the beautiful well-kept new grounds.

Lovely venue. Lots of parking, freshly cooked food. Our Canadian fiend loves this pub, as it's exactly the image of what a country pub should be. We sat outside in the garden and enjoyed drinks and lunch in the sunshine, taking in the views . We all opted for the burger which was very good.

Very very very good day had here.. a nice and civil house music event

I have passed this pub many times but today was the first time I have stopped. With lots of seating inside, there's also seating outside front and back. There was even an outside bar at the rear (I assume seasonal). Great choice of beers and a food menu that looks like it gets updated regularly. Sunday roasts coming out looked excellent. Enjoyed the teriyaki beef noodle salad. The staff were excellent. There's even table tennis in the garden. Highly recommended.

This was our second visit and it was just as good as the first one. Beautiful garden and the food is cooked with love and flair, plus the prices are correct and fair. Cheesecake was 😋

We had some sharing starters for lunch yesterday Tempura courgette was cooked in the oil used for fish ! Coleslaw supposedly homemade tasted fizzy as out of a tub Greasy halummi and tasteless sauce Chips greasy strong deep fat fryer smell and taste

Early evening meal for four so it was fairly quiet . But service was good and so was the food which is all that really matters . Everything looked fresh and clean

Fast service, great waiting staff and delicious food! We will be going back!

Wonderful roast dinner at this idyllic village pub in Soulbury. We were a group of four adults and one 5 year old and dined outside in the rear garden. Food was outstanding especially the roast beef and highly recommend the Basque cheesecake 🤩. Fantastic service and experience, thank you and see you again soon.

Highly recommend the cheese toastie... Cheesier than my dad jokes!

We had a wonderful meal at the boot last night 2nd July. Not been there for a long time and was very pleasantly surprised. Food was fabulous and service too. Such a lovely evening. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed our meal, great service, staff very welcoming and we felt valued as customers.

The bar was quite lively when we visited because of a football game, but we were found I nice quiet corner and the service was great. Food was good , with a new , but very tasty variation on Lasagne . The Frivkles were Particularly nice.

49th wedding anniversary meal everything was amazing, and we were both made to feel special, and all staff are amazing

Thank you Gemma for the excellent service on Saturday. The Boot room was the ideal place for our family meeting to celebrate the life of our Mum the food was outstanding suiting all diets and was enjoyed by everyone. All staff were extremely helpful. Thank you again for making a memorable occasion.

The Sunday Roast Beef dinner: Big yorkshire pudding, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, gravy. 2 wafer thin slices of beef (bacon rasher size) most places offer a lot more beef than this for less in price. £24.95 Not good value.

Reserved a table online. When we arrived we were told the chef wouldn’t prepare the main menu so only had limited bar snacks/pizza menu to choose from. When we tried to place order we were then told the kitchen had closed. We told the waitress that we had a dinner reservation and she did speak to the chef who agreed to make our food. The food itself was good, and the front of house staff were friendly and helpful but to be honest probably won’t be back due to the attitude of the chef. Shouldn’t have to negotiate for a pizza when you have a dinner reservation.

Great service and wonderful food! Lovely place to spend your weekend! Can’t wait for our next visit.

Excellent food and service. Good veggie options too.

Stopped for a late lunch and shared a goats cheese pizza with a portion of halloumi fries and had a cheeky glass of rose wine. Good selection of food on the menu and food was freshly made. Staff were friendly and pub had a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.

Lovely welcoming village pub. Food was lovely - lunchtime, shared a pizza and halloumi fries - we were both stuff and it was great 👍

Didn't have food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Very nice pub, will try food next time.

Food was excellent and the staff super friendly. We were in a party of 4 and one of the party has a number of food intolerances. The chef came out to talk to her and spent a lot of time suggesting options. He was very professional and unfazed by it and she was happy with her meal. My husband and I both had the burger with added bacon and the other friend had the brisket. My chocolate delice pudding was delicious.

Had a great visit, food was lovely and the staff were so friendly. Would highly recommend this place. We were a big table and ordered all different things. All clean plates. Really pleased. Will be back. Thanks

New owners, local to village. Very good chef. Pub looks lovely again. Had fish special, great curry. Reasonable price. Will return very soon. Competition for the other local pubs. Gemma and her team great front of house.

I believe The Boot Inn is operational under new management and a new Head Chef Paul! Friendly staff and a warm, welcoming atmosphere has you soaking in the character and charm of this beautiful, building. Fabulous drinks (especially the gin and cocktails) with a vast array of choices. The food… is simply delicious and divine, along with the quality of produce and skill is simply stunning, such a treat! I have enjoyed both the Roast dinner and the GF fish and chips which are of exceptional quality. It’s fantastic to see a gastropub cater for Gluten Free individuals along with other intolerances. Perfect combination for families and friends wanting to catch up and dine in a relaxed environment. Highly recommend 😊

We had the pleasure of popping in to have a drink in the unexpected sunshine, after speaking to the bar maid in the garden about food we decided to eat and so glad we did, the food was unreal! The chief is new and he’s a talented man, the team were just brilliant doing all they can for you, the pub has new owners that are local and they really have put their stamp on the place,. Couldn’t recommend it enough

Lovely pub, welcoming friendly staff. The food was delicious. Great to see the £10 meal deal back. Highly recommend the Focaccia chicken and black bacon sandwich. I’m told by our friends that the Scampi and chips were really good too. Great to see some good old traditional country pub staples.

Had a lunch time meal for two today food service and atmosphere was excellent.

Good selection of beers and friendly staff. I have only stopped here in passing a few times, and each time I always make a note to come back for food as the restaurant looks lovely. I haven’t managed it yet, but will soon and I’ll update my review!

Sunday lunch on Mother's Day. Very busy but kept up with everyone well. Focused selection of food, mainly Sunday Roast (but did sausage and chips for a child for example). Good attitude from staff and a welcoming well kept environment. Looks like it is changing hands so hope they continue to thrive under new ownership.

Myself and my partner went on Sunday for a Sunday roast. Was surprised how quick the food came until we saw the plates. Meat was ok but overcooked. Veg was way too overcooked, gravy like water literally! Potatoes were soggy. Only thing good on these plates was the Yorkshire pudding. So as you can imagine when we paid the bill it was quite a shock £62 for one drink each and two very disappointing roast dinners.

New chef I believe - been twice recently Just a wonderful meal - will revisit and recommend Good service Place should be busier perhaps needs more advertising

Very good food and a good choice of roasts.

Fantastic meal for 4 - would highly recommend a new chef I believe in his first weeks Crumble and custard was just perfect too

Changed since my last visit ...more of a gastro pub now, in the lovely village of Soulbury. Limited parking, plenty Al fresco seating out the front & a rear area too. Food looked good & a nice x4 tapas(£22) style lunch menu...only 1 real ale & usual suspects on draught & bottles

Descriptions of roasts don't match our experience. Chicken Sunday roast was lacking carrots or much veg. Chicken was lacking flavour and the potatoes were clearly frozen. We saw the chef take the frozen yorkshire puddings out of storage. No bread sauce served despite description on menu. We also booked on the morning and had our reservation confirmed online only to be told their systems didn't update. Only positive was the waitress who was attentive. An overall really disappointing experience. Wouldn't go back.

Great food and friendly service. Had a very enjoyable lunch.

Changed quite a bit since my last visit ....more country gastro pub orientation now....probably changed because of covid used to sell a lot of ale but just the one now. The food menu looks good ....garden & seating out front ....small area for parking

It's been a few years since we've visited the Boot and its changed hands, has been redecorated and their are new menus. We came for Sunday lunch and the food was great, plenty of lovely veg and the beef cooked really well. Delicious desserts too. Service was really good so I think we will be back.

Food was fab as normal, service from Gem is always amazing 👏, quiz was great, another really fun night at The Boot 😀

Popped in for an afternoon Sunday roast with my partner and we were very impressed. The quality and quantity of food was exceptional. Highly flavoursome roast potatoes( non of the frozen oven cooks here). 3 slices of lamb superbly cooked. 4 different vegetables (broccoli, carrot, red cabbage and green beans) perfectly cooked and presented. The waiting staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend a visit to the Boot. Thank you for a lovely meal.

We came for Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day. The food was all very tasty so I would recommend. It would be nice to have a drink included in the price and we didn’t receive the mince pie which was supported to come at at the end, but overall a great experience with friendly staff and we’d do it again. We had to reach out and enquire if we needed to prebook and it turns out they had some issues with the bookings, but hopefully this is something they can resolve quickly to ensure a smoother booking experience.

A truly wonderful Sunday roast.3 which slices of delicious lamb with a a generous helping of green beans, carrots, red cabbage, broccoli and roast potatoes. Plenty of gravy and a well puffed up Yorkshire pudding. Very tasty indeed. I would highly recommend a Sunday visit.

We decided to visit the Boot Inn on Boxing Day and initially we had a disappointing experience. That being said, it’s important what a business does to address concerns & feedback to improve customer satisfaction and that is something that Gem and her team are doing very well. On our 2nd visit, the staff were brilliant, attentive and friendly. The food was great, and the portion sizes more than adequate. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, in a lovely pub/restaurant. The Sunday roast is perfect. The garden looks great for a return in the summer & plenty of parking available too. We will be back for sure, and thank you Gem and team for doing your best to ensure your customers have great experience.

Great place. we enjoyed our meal and the restaurant itself.

Had a get together with our family today.Food and service was excellent..Gemma and Lacey couldn't be more helpful. Thank you,we will be back. Lovely comfortable pub.

Had a great meal with my wife. We both had the steak and ale pie which was delicious and reasonably priced. The owner said they had taken the pub over just 3 weeks before. They were very friendly and it had a nice atmosphere. We both stayed on to have drinks with friends. Had a great time.

We just stopped by after a very busy morning. Ordered lunch sandwiches on the spur of the moment. My steak sandwich was cooked to perfection, and will definitely be going back

I went to the boot inn with my uncle and girlfriend for dinner and drinks. The pub classic foods like fish and chips were great. The waitress Ellie was brilliant, she was very knowledgeable about the menu and charming

Lovely ,light lunch . Great staff,service much improved

The pub has changed hands again, nice food and lovely friendly staff. Very strange they have rebadged the pub being in Leighton Buzzard and in Bedfordshire. The pub is in the village of Soulbury in Buckinghamshire.

Chosen as mid point for a family lunch catch up, never been before and very impressed. Really friendly welcome, place was nice and warm. Good menu choice, with great food. Wish I lived nearer would go often

Have used the Boot before, a lovely little pub, great food, great service, friendly and as well priced as anywhere these days, you do not feel ripped off. Nice Veggie selection.

Excellent pub, good food and service

Not a very good experience no heating due to something wrong with gas,didn't have any backup in place, plates dinner was on was cold so dinner wasn't hot for long, no manager on premises to help staff and a reduced menu.

I do the pub quiz monthly food is great and the service, everyone is incredibly friendly.

Had a delicious roast dinner. Potatoes were extra crunchy and everything cooked to perfection 😋👍👍👍

Have loved this little find where I visit once or twice a year. Always loved it, but today was wonderful . New management I think. Service A-class and food A-mazing. Thank you x

The sharing platter was delicious and fresh. It’s the perfect country pub with a cosy log fire. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Recommend a visit.

We had a lovely meal, and I had desert as eyes bigger than my belly. Staff were friendly and helpful. One young lady had just started that day, and she managed the drink order ok. We will pop in again when we down this way . 10/10

Definitely a pub where you want to go back to. The service is lovely and very attentive, the food is really good too, and for a reasonable price. We have been here twice already, and both the starters, the pie and the Sunday roast were really yummy. They also have live music on Friday evenings :) See you soon!

Popped in for lunch with the wife on Thursday. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back, keep up the good work!

Parking big enough for my truck. Good food served in ample time to get me on my way again after lunch.

Very spacious place with a great garden. The food is amazing. Try the pork belly bites.

Been to the boot for year it’s great pub lovely atmosphere can especially thank Romanie fo her great service

Lovely young lady behind the bar. Very bubbly and helpfull. Romanie. Lovely pub.

I'd previously visited the boot a few times, before covid and not long after covid after new management had taken over... It was not great after covid, the good news is, it's being ran by a new team which I've got to say we're very welcoming and polite. Food was was not largest portions but of a decent quality, with a family of six visiting and everyone to have said it was good is a good accomplishment, with service being quick, not far from some of the best pubs I've visited and the price point is average despite the lovely area/location of Soulbury, with a very relaxing tone to the place.

Best Sunday lunch I've had for a while. Service was lovely and great atmosphere. Thanks!

Great little pub, welcome dogs, nice garden and very smart. Only had drinks and chips but all good.

Went for dinner last night and we were very impressed. The pub decor, lighting and ambience were lovely, as were the staff and the food. Great beer too, Neck Oil, Landlord, Hobgoblin Gold and Black Sheep, all on draught. Couldn't fault it. We will be back!

Fabulous experience at the boot. Amazing friendly staff, great to see Gemma back where she belongs. Food was wonderful, highly recommended 👍🏻

Friendly welcome and well kept ale at this large country pub. Various drinking areas and large restaurant with an interesting menu. Big garden with plenty of seating (some covered) next to the large car park.

Really good food!! Lovely location and interesting old building.

Good food, good service, nice pub. We'll be back.

As very local to this pub I really hoped it has improved with new management in place. Sadly not. We were shown to a table in the restaurant that had not been wiped clean before being reset. It was horribly sticky and dirty from previous drinks. The wine bottle just plonked on the table. Nobody asked if they wanted to sample the wine. We even had to pour it ourselves. Food for 3 of us at best OK. The pie was lacking in filling and pastry not fresh. Mashed potato warmed up so much it had a skin on top. When we apologised to our guests that it hadn't been a great experience they said "at least the company was good". Such a shame as it would be nice if we had a decent pub within walking distance.
