About Bootle Arms

Tucked into a lovely spot with a proper rustic, cosy feel, this is a low-key place to bring the kids without spending much. Parking is the big win — a decent-sized car park round the back means no circling with a toddler in the car. There's a conservatory area where families tend to get seated, high chairs are there, and buggy access is fine. The kids' menu is basic pub fare, and opinions on the food genuinely split: some families clear their plates and rave about the deep-fried cauliflower, garlic mushrooms and the Southern fried burger, while others find it cheap and frozen-tasting. Service tends to be warm — one parent says nothing was "too much trouble" — though food can be slow at busy times. Drinks are pricier than the food. Outdoor seating and a dog-friendly bar side round it out.
