   The Shoe Inn in Plaitford delivers proper pub comfort with food that feels like it means business. I ordered the mixed grill, and it arrived sizzling on a cast iron platter – always a good sign. The meats were well cooked with that smoky, chargrilled flavour you want from a grill dish. There’s a great mix of textures – tender chicken, juicy lamb, and nicely spiced pieces that pair perfectly with the grilled peppers and onions. The naan bread was soft and warm, ideal for scooping up the juices and sauces. Chips were chunky, generous in portion, and golden without being greasy. The fresh side salad with lemon gave a nice bit of balance and cut through the richness of the grill. On the drinks side, they’ve got Hawkstone Lager and Hawkstone IPA on tap, which was a quality touch and went perfectly with the food. What really stood out though was the customer service – the owner was top notch. Friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in both the pub and the experience. Made us feel genuinely looked after without it ever feeling forced. Great food, great beer, and brilliant hospitality. If you’re looking for a pub that does hearty, flavourful food with proper service to match, The Shoe Inn is well worth the stop. You can also wander across Canada Common, which has gentle paths through heathland and meadow. If you’re after a relaxing afternoon followed by good food, a proper pint, and a scenic stroll, or an evening out for gang for something different The Shoe Inn is a brilliant choice.

   Shoe inn is not open in middle off refurbishment.. phone is disconnected. But they answer via email. Refurbishment was not told to us when we booked it (may). And we were not notified via email. Bed was comfortable.

   Nice room in general but tough to sleep in. I read other reviews about squeaky floorboards and thought they wouldn't be that bad, but people walking around quietly in other rooms sound like they're at the foot of your bed! Located on a busy road but we were on the garden side so traffic noise wasn't too bad.

   2 very cheerful lady attendants. The stairs had low cross beams to upstairs rooms. You had to duck to go through up stairs. Went back had supper next to cosy fire. The table was wobbly and had a stick under one leg to balance. The table was very sticky and felt as if it had not been wiped clean. The attendant gave as a lovely smile and introduced the menu saying everything was cooked fresh. The menu prices were medium priced for food. With steak being a bit pricy. Drinks were served promptly and the wait for food was about 20 to 30 minutes all freshly prepared as she said. The mince beef lasagne with salad was brimming full of freshly cooked mince in sauce with a freshly made salad. The freshly baked steak Ale pie was baked perfectly with a firm crust with lots of meat chunks and Alec.Served with freshly prepared and cooked mash potato, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin and parsnips. Very tasty . Both dishes for 13 and 15 Gbp were excellent value. The rooms upstairs were neat and tidy with fresh towels and clean linen. Very impressive value for money.
