Waterfoot, Rossendale


We're absolutely buzzing to share some brilliant news:

The Boot & Shoe has been named Pub of the Week by the Lancashire Telegraph!


Reporter Jack Stott caught up with Lauren to talk about everything from our food and events to our exciting plans for the beer garden. You can read the full feature in the Lancashire Telegraph. Read the Full Article https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/ (subscription required)

The article covers what makes the Boot & Shoe special – our approach to food, the events we host, our drinks selection, and what we've got planned for the future. It's a lovely write-up and we're genuinely grateful to the Lancashire Telegraph for the recognition.


Why You Should Visit the Boot & Shoe

If you've not been to the Boot & Shoe yet, or if you've been meaning to visit and just haven't got round to it, here's what you need to know:

Lauren & Cassie: A Fantastic Team. Since taking over in June 2024, Lauren and Cassie have built something special here. Lauren runs front of house with warmth and personality, while Cassie works magic in the kitchen creating the excellent food that's becoming our reputation.

They're a fantastic team, and it shows in everything from the quality of the food to the welcoming atmosphere you get the moment you walk through the door.


Cassie's Excellent Food

The food is genuinely delicious. Cassie creates dishes that combine traditional pub favourites with creative touches – familiar enough to be comforting, interesting enough to be exciting.

• Regular New Menus – we keep things fresh with rotating specials and seasonal dishes

• Chippy Friday – proper fish and chips every Friday

• Saturday Night Menu – our special tasting menu that changes weekly

• The Infamous Sunday Roast – this has become legendary for good reason. Book ahead!

The Beer Garden: Massive Revamp for Summer

We're giving our beer garden a proper revamp ready for summer, and it's going to be absolutely brilliant. The beer garden has excellent views across the valley and it's a right sun trap when the weather's good. We've already got a big screen out there ready for the World Cup, and once the revamp is complete, it's going to be the perfect spot to enjoy food, drinks, and live sport in the sunshine. Watch this space – the beer garden transformation is happening soon!


Events & Entertainment

We host regular events including live music, karaoke nights, and our popular weekly pub quiz. Plus, we're always happy to accommodate private functions and celebrations. There's always something happening at the Boot & Shoe, making it more than just a place to eat

and drink – it's a proper community hub.


The Conservatory with Valley Views

Our conservatory dining area offers stunning views across the valley and provides a lovely space for meals. It's modern but maintains that essential pub feel – comfortable, welcoming, and perfect for everything from casual lunches to special celebrations.


Book to Avoid Disappointment

Especially for our Sunday Roasts and Saturday Night Menus, we strongly recommend booking ahead. These have become incredibly popular (with good reason!), and we'd hate for you to be disappointed.


Call 01706 213828 to reserve your table

Walk-ins are always welcome when we have space, but booking guarantees you won't miss out.


Thank You

A massive thank you to the Lancashire Telegraph for naming us Pub of the Week, and an even bigger thank you to everyone who's supported us since June 2024. Your support, your loyalty, and your recommendations to friends and family are what make this possible. We're here because of you, and we don't take that for granted.
