The Boot, pub and restaurant in Histon village, Cambridge.

Pub | Dining | Garden

Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Histon, opposite the village green and just a stone’s throw from Cambridge, The Boot is an award-winning local treasure.

A characterful and charming pub with a beautiful airy dining area, overlooking the extensive garden, terrace for outdoor dining and undercover heated tent, and a cosy bar and snug with a lovely fireplace that is renowned for being a home from home. Dogs are very welcome in our bar and garden.

We continue to grow our great reputation for serving fresh, seasonal food alongside perfectly poured pints, an expertly curated wine list and a delicious selection of cocktails.

We’ve got our own car park and there is also lots of additional free parking in the village.

Best wishes from all at The Boot x
