We were greeted like friends. Table for 8, carvery plus the boys had different food from the menu. 8 clean plates. Great food. Plus, dog friendly.Outstanding. If you fancy it, I would book, it's always busy.

Absolutely superb food - won’t find anywhere better for a Sunday dinner in Carlisle than the Carvery, beautiful meat and huge selection of veg as well - highly recommended ?

Been too the near boot many times before and tonight we went for my daughter’s 18th birthday meal with family and as usual it was absolutely awesome, there was 15 of us and couldn’t fault it at all. Many thanks too Paula and her team?

We have been to the Boot for a Sunday carvery many times since Paula and Garry took over, but it just keeps getting better and better! The recent reintroduction of the real log fire is a wonderful addition, and I understand the other two will be recommissioned very soon - perfect, especially at this time of year. The food, it goes without saying, was amazing, and the welcome as warm as the fire. Highly recommended.

A lovely warm welcome as always ? We came for the set Xmas menu and it did not disappoint ? Food was delicious, freshly cooked and piping hot not like other carverys ? Service is always great your hard work pays off ?

It was a special day...One of life's beautiful souls retired from ASDA after 10 years serving customers.... for them. Gillian chose The Near Boot to celebrate with her family (and me....as I have known her since she was an hour old!) The meal was served by a beautiful fun loving Scotsman.....the banter was lovely and his meal was fab! We had the buffet "beef, ham and turkey....all beautiful! The staff were out of this world and joined in! I was the old lady of the party and enjoyed every minute! Gillian's retirement got off to see flying start! Thank you one and all.....
Popped in on way home to Durham shortly before 2pm with my parents and their dog. Lovely staff greeted as soon as we came in and the landlady gave the dog treats while we waited for food. Excellent food, service and better still, dog friendly. We came here last year for Sunday lunch which was excellent which prompted our visit this time round as we were in the area. 100% recommend this pub for food, service and atmosphere. Can’t wait to eat here again next time we’re in the area.

What a great find on our random travels! After a long day travelling down from Scotland and looking for somewhere to eat, we found the Near Boot Inn on Google. The view from the main road belyes the warm welcome and very pleasant surroundings inside. Sundays and Wednesdays are carvery, and we opted for the large. Thank god we didn't opt for a starter, the portions are huge (not for the faint-hearted). Unlike other carverys where the meat is like leather and veg overcooked, the meat was fresh, moist and tender with perfectly cooked veg, I can't recommend it enough. To top it all off, they welcomed our dog with open arms. What a perfect way to end the day.

Absolutely amazing!! Been meaning to go for a long time. Definitely did not disappoint. From stepping foot in the door we were welcomed with a smile and the amazing friendly customer service continued until we walked out. We all had a carvery and each and every item of food to choose from was fantastic! Amazing atmosphere and great prices too.Lots of free parking at the rear of the building. Lots of outdoor seating areas for those days of good weather. Lots of choices of both foods and drinks. Something for everyone.IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THEN YOUR MISSING OUT!!!Thank you all for an amazing experience and the perfect Sunday roast ???Parking: Plenty of parking at the rear of the building off the main road.Kid-friendliness: Could not have been more child friendly our daughter loved the chats with staff.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter the building
