The Boot Micropub — Restaurant in England

My wife , son and I have now visited the recently renovated and reopened Boot twice this month (July 2023) . The Boot feels more comfortable and inviting once inside . The quality of the real ales ( they now have 5) continues to be superb and are a delight to sample . The Boot also has a small number of chairs and tables outside in the pedestrianised space.

A friendly and welcoming small bar now offer snack food as well. Easy access and great real ales!

Old Review I visited The Boot Micropub for the first time on a preview night on the evening of Thursday 07 July 2022. The Boot has the same feeling as its 'sister' pub The Coracle in Ironbridge with an intimate bar area for about 30 people.

The bar is in a corner location of the pedestrianised market square ( opposite the Walnut) . It is planning to have outdoor seating on the pavement around the outside of the bar.

On entering The Boot the bar is on the far right handside with a unisex toilet on the rear left handside. It is offering 4 real ales plus a real cider with a great selection of unusual and ever changing beers on offer. It also has many keg lines plus a can fridge.

Parking is a short walk away - I parked in Belmont / Tan Bank which is usually very quiet on the evenings and another one the Swimming Pool car park is also quite close (all public car parks in Wellington are free although you have to get a free ticket from a machine for some . Limited disabled parking is available in a few on street parking bays on Church Street opposite the Wellington Orbit Community Cinema and Cafe about 25 metres from the Boot Micropub.

A wonderful and unique addition to the real ale scene highly...

Absolutely awful arrived at 10.40pm.to be told by bar man that could not serve us. When pointed out said 11pm on door was berated by female customer that law was drinking up time half hour I have been in the pub business long enough to know that it is 11pm last orders and 11.10 drinking up.time. This experience has soured my view of the pub which up to now I have enjoyed if you want the custom and want to shut early on a Friday night please make it plain.howecer the whole point I.eould of thought of having a pub was making money with repeat customers well sorry I will not be...

After being recommended by a friend, it was a real disappointment. Love the actual venue and atmosphere, but the beer really let the place down. First pint was really good, but the second was cloudy (end of the barrel). This was replaced, but this was also cloudy (worse this time). Problem was obviously that a couple of pints needed pulling thost to clear the pipes. However, the chap behind the bar just said the barrel was a new one. We ended up having something else, but not what I'd expect from somewhere serving real ale....
