    Each member of staff was attentive to our needs, and both accurate and prompt in taking and providing our orders. Our courses arrived looking well prepared and presented, tasting appropriately fresh and warm.

    Pleased to hear that you had a good experience visiting us and the team looked after you well. We look forward to welcoming you back the next time you are in the area. Best, Ollie

    I really like this place. Food and wine is excellent and it's very old school.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with us. We are very proud of the fantastic wine we are able to offer as a wine merchants company as well as the skill of our amazing kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back to sample more of both menus soon. Many thanks for taking the time to review your visit, The Boot and Flogger team

    A very unique, period pub and restaurant with friendly staff and decent food. It was a welcome and warm place to spend an afternoon in, on a freezing day.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Really pleased that you enjoyed your visit and we were able to offer a warm welcome on a miserable day for you. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes, The Boot and Flogger team

    Another great visit. The Roast beef was just perfect. We avoided the roast potatoes so we could have the sticky toffee pudding and well worth it! Great wine list and service. Very welcoming staff. Shame we had to leave. Thank you all.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Thanks again David, hope yourself and Chris had a good flight back to Brazil and our enjoying the sunshine as I type. It was lovely having you and we look forward to welcoming you both back next Christmas! Best wishes, The Boot and Flogger team

    Very elegant and cosy traditional London pub but with delicious gastro food and immaculate service. First courses and mains were fulsome and delicious! Deserts were a bit disappointing (though that might just be my choice) and overpriced (same in most places these days) but this didn’t detract from our experience. We will be back!

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Glad to hear you had a great experience with us and enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Hopefully you can find a suitable dessert on your next visit or maybe try our fantastic cheese option with a snifter or carafe of port on the side? Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback we very much appreciate it. Best wishes, The Boot and Flogger team

    This was fun. We arrived the first day of the wine competition. After taking down the decorations, it was so nice to try out a secret wine for GBP3.50 if we had the sausage and mash. How tough is that? Did not have a clue about the wine, except it was really delicious. Great food, service and thanks to the staff for helping us with this!

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Lovely to have been able to host you again David! Really pleased you had the opportunity to try our mystery wines and you enjoyed them so much. We look forward to your next visit and more mystery challenges. All the best, The Boot and Flogger team

    Really attentive and friendly service, delicious food and the best alcohol-free sparkling wine I've ever had!! (only available at this place!) Highly recommend

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Thanks Christine, glad you enjoyed your visit. If you are going to have a dry January a good alcohol free offering is a must and we are very proud to be exclusively importing Sidewood's "Nearly Naked" Sparking non alcoholic wine. Thanks for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, we look forward to hosting you again soon. Best wishes, The Boot and Flogger team

    Best Roast beef Sunday lunch. Seems to get better and better. Succulent and flavourful. Just the right size Christmas pudding, which we shared. Great wine list. Wonderful staff and surroundings. Thank you all.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Great visit. We had Kentish bangers and mash with gravy. No mean sausage. Not much room for anything else. Wonderful service, fantastic ambience, especially for Christmas. What a wine list. Thanks to all staff for a lovely visit.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Dear David, We are absolutely delighted to hear your kinds words. We are glad you have enjoyed your visit to the Boot and Flogger and we can't wait to have you back! Me and the team are wishing you a lovely New Year's and we hope to see you again. Best wishes, The Boot and Flogger team

    8.5/10

    Good food in general although the steaks could have been more accurately cooked. Particularly good was the recovery made when one main course was late due to a mishap in the kitchen. Free bubbles and desert for the young lady in question. Service very good generally. Only negative point was no Guinness!

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Thank you for kind words, we appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Apologies for the issues with the mains, I am glad the team salvaged the situation so well and your party left happy even without a pint of the black stuff! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon, The Boot and Flogger team

    I know this venue well & have been coming here for years when I want to meet old friends in a central location. It’s quiet so allows conversation, food is acceptable standard, service efficient & not rushed while house wine is good quality.

    Boot and FloggerOwner

    Glad to hear you had another enjoyable visit with us. As a wine merchant it's always nice to be complimented on one of our own label wines, happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we appreciate your time. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon, The Boot and Flogger team

    The front of house staff member was incredibly rude. She was disrespectful and is clearly a lazy person.

    The very best roast beef on a Sunday, the plate arrived like a work of art. A lot of food. Fantastic service and wine list. A very special English restaurant. Cannot fault it.

    We went to the Boot and Flogger for a pre-theatre meal. The restaurant was on a quiet side street. We loved the old world atmosphere. The meal and service were great. It is a short walk to the Globe Theatre. It is perfect for a three course meal in a subdued environment.

    The staff gave us a small room as we are all elderly and have problems hearing each other in noisy restaurants. It was a special occasion and we wanted to be able to really enjoy ourselves, which we did. The ambience is wonderful, old and mellow, full of interesting spaces. The service was excellent, and charming too. The food was very good. Will definitely return.

    Such a characterful place. Beautiful interior with tables feeling almost private. Professional service. Food all high quality and very good Portuguese wine. Bit expensive though.

    Poached salmon was good, pork belly was a bit more fatty than typical. Sweet potato mash accompaniment to the pork belly was very good.

    The menu seemed good but the execution was punimaginative..Basically the fod was geared to lowest common denominator British palette.. Price- quality ratio was not good. Despite clear and repeated order,; wr failed to get broccoli in chimichuri sauce! Very disappointing!

    We had a wonderful dinner at the Boot and Flogger; the steak was perfect, the pork belly sublime and the service amazing. We were well cared for and it really made the experience memorable.

    Food was good but not spectacular and the 9.3 rating had made me think it would be. Nice and quiet to chat over an early dinner. Good service. Would go again.
