Food absolutely amazing, had the pork with apple and mushroom sauce, excellent food which was served quickly. Staff so nice and friendly, honestly a genuine lovely pub.

Well , the staff are lovely and very clean but thats about as good as it gets , food bland cafe type plus extremely limited menu and very expensive for what received (basic burger and a few frozen chips no salad was £13) so guess they are aiming to make the pub more a drinkers venue than do food. At almost £5 for a pint of Thwaites seems like London prices for poor ale too, though I appreciate this is probably set by the brewery. Went to ship after £1 a pint cheaper for better variety and quality of beer and delicious puds, noting full roast dinner was on offer for same price as the burger and chips we had at the Boot n Shoe.

Went for new years eve after going in a few days before to try and book a table as there where 9 of us. Was told don't need to book and just turned up however turned up tonight and all tables where booked up owner just shrugged the issue off after acknowledging we where told they weren't doing bookings as a local we won't be back and will take our business to the ship instead family have always been regularly through all the previous owners but new owners only seem to care about 'friends' not locals.

Its clean and staff friendly but thats as good as it gets. From forgetting our booking to the arrival of pretty bland cafe food it failed to impress. Worst still at almost a fiver for a pint of thwaites bland bitter its london prices for drinks and food. Went to ship after, far better

This was one of the best currys ever ever, and I'm an Oldham lass, not Asian style, I choose Brazilian Prawn and Pineapple, coconut, 7/10 hot, fresh coriander, just superlative, starter great too, service friendly and warm, like I was a local, cannot fault the Boot and Shoe @ Elswick, great restaurant quality ????? ??Kid-friendliness: Bring out a colouring book for waiting children, makes great sense

Not a nice pub to many kids serving food.. and outside area next to road.. the ship much better . Large back garden area in ship safer for kidsParking: Nit great not safe.. NO KIDS AREA. ONLY BIT GARDEN RIGHT NEXT TO ROAD.. NOT GOOD.
