Twenty two of us were staying for a fabulous long weekend at nearby Blencowe Hall and on the Friday night descended on the Boot and Shoe in Greystoke for an evening meal in their private dining room. It’s the kind of traditional country pub you would love to have near where you lived and on a chilly December evening was ever so warm and welcoming. It’s not a big place and the staff did really well to cope with us all; everything ran very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. Bearing in mind we did not pre-order and that they have a large a la carte menu it was quite the achievement. The food was lovely and the atmosphere too. Highly recommended.

Having recently moved into the area, finding this pub as our local is a delight. It's welcome is always warm and personal, the beers are well kept, the food is excellent with a good solid menu and some inventive specials. Nice beer garden for sunny days. Well done to Ben and Jen who have recently taken over.

We stopped here a couple of years ago and was a brilliant night if you like horses and jockeys and like a good pint of local brew. The rooms were quite nice and the breakfast was really good ... I? recommend this pub.
