Lancaster Pubs : Boot & Shoe Hotel pub in Lancaster
'A great little pub with good food, even better beer and friendly and welcoming staff. Some friends and i went in a couple of weeks ago only to find it packed for the regular Thursday quiz, we decided to stay and although we didnt win we were all thoroughly entertained, mind you getting to the bar requires a bit of patience particularly at the interval. Great atmosphere, great fun. We were made very welcome and will be returning again.'

'Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What on earth is happening to what was once a great pub with great beer and great food. Now the beer is limited at best to a range from one brewery and that isnt great and the food, well i ask you who in their right mind is going to pay nearly £7.00 for frozen fish and chips. Im sorry to say but this pub is rapidly descending to the level of a Wetherspoons and that i assure you will see the end of this once great local pub.Come on Mitchells, instead of spending £100,000 on a beer garden and car park try sorting out your failing pub. I for one will not be goingin there again and i understand that i am not alone in this view with a great number of locals preferring to go to the Bowerham or Fox and Goose. Says it all really.'

'Can someone explain why these reviews have suddenly descended into personal attacks on the various management couples this pub has or has had.
My comments were based upon how i found the pub on the two or three occaisions i have been in.
I do not know this couple nor do i know the last incumbents and so dont feel qualified to make a comment about them.
My reviews were quite simply reflecting my personal dissapointment about the range of beers which has since become very interesting and quite extensive and the price of food about which i remain to be convinced but accept that in todays market that is the price you pay.
As for being thankful that i dont use the pub on a regular basis, i would have thought that in these days of financial uncertainty and rising prices pubs would be glad of custom even if the views of those customers differ from others.
I have been in since my last review and will do so again. I will continue to review where i think neccessary both good and not so good. After all that is one of the benefits of living in a democracy.
