The Freston Boot

Visited last week with a group of family for my dad's birthday. The staff were very welcoming and also very patient, my family can be noisy. The food was great as was the beer selection. Several of us had the haddock and chips, which was fantastic. Beautiful pub, very well designed inside. And the prices were more than fair. Thanks

Really friendly pub/restaurant. Excellent service,the dogs received treats and water whilst we scanned the menu. They even have a menu for dogs. I chose fish and chips, which were superb; crisp batter outside and perfectly cooked fish within, very hard to find that sort of perfection,lerge portion size too. Very good selection of drinks. Nice setting, outside seating for the summer. Eclectic collection of structures outside, including amongst others, a teepee, yurt, etc. Good size car park. We didn't have to reserve a table at that time, but I believe it would be well patronised at more popular times. A thoroughly enjoyable time was had and we would wholeheartedly recommend The Boot.

First visit to this venue, predominantly a restaurant with lots of outdoor seating (which wasn’t helpful on a cold blustery day) with a very small welcoming bar area, two stalls and one chair. First impressions were, understaffed chaos, lots of empty glasses on the bar, and generally very untidy. However I am pleased to report that there was a good selection of beers, even though very pricey drafts were £6.80 a pint ! Decent Malbec for £25 a bottle. The food was pretty good without being exceptional, the cauliflower cheese added as a extra to accompany the Sunday Roast was very disappointing, staff were helpful, a solid 4 out of 5, very busy and obviously popular.

Sat in the back garden and ordered from the new outdoor kitchen and shared some tasty halloumi sticks and fried squid before we ordered our mains. The Carribbean chicken, refreshing slaw, guacamole and yummy sweet potato fries. No grease and all tasted fresh, well seasoned and not heavy at all, good portion. Nice quiet atmosphere and very friendly staff, all fairly priced and it was nice knowing they had a dehydrator for the fruit rather than it being bought in. Seems like great care is taken for even the small things, will come back.

I went to this place for Mothers Day . Fantastic time i had . The food was excellent , as was the service and staff were lovely . The main guy who may have been the owner couldn't do enough to help . It was lovely there and the place felt so comfortable, with a welcoming feel . Don't forget to phone and book as the place is always busy which is not surprising. You won't be disappointed.
