About The Shoe Inn

A quiet pub is a rare find when you're out with children, and that's what you get here — low noise levels mean a fussing toddler won't feel like the loudest thing in the room, and you can actually finish a conversation. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so little ones are properly catered for rather than tolerated, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access and free parking take the strain out of arriving with a buggy, and outdoor seating gives restless children somewhere to be. Worth booking ahead.
