 Boot & Shoe, Ellerton  The Boot & Shoe at Ellerton, owned by Kevin and Andrea for the last seven years, is a very appropriate member of the scheme. It has been selling Old Mill Bitter for the last 25 years, way before anything like LocAle was ever dreamt of, and was the first free trade outlet for the beer. Not a LocAle, but also of interest to the beer drinker is the house beer, Old Boot from Dark Horse of Hetton. A collaboration between pub and brewery, it was launched in July; 150 pints flew out on the first night and sales have been buoyant ever since.  The pub dates from the seventeenth century, with low ceilings, an open fire and candles on the tables. There’s a cosy bar and intimate separate dining rooms; you won’t find a finer example of a country inn anywhere. |
