Following a major fire in 2010 the bar was given a contemporary makeover and is predominantly used for dining. However, there is a cosy drinking area around the bar and drinkers are made welcome. The renovations included the recommissioning of the six bedrooms to a high standard for bed and breakfast. Breakfasts are sold between 7.30 and 10.30am Alcohol is served from 10.30am. There is alfresco drinking and dining on the terrace during the warmer months and the pub has a fine wine selection. It is a dog friendly venue that has live music on a Sunday which is soon to include Saturdays.

The Charter Market Quarter has many historical links. One of the only free-standing medieval civic clock towers, the site of the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455, during the Wars of the Roses. Allegedly the Boot Inn played host to soldiers fighting in the battle. There used to be 23 pubs around the Market area!
The northern end of the Market is dominated by St. Peter’s church, one of the three churches originally built by the Saxon’s on the main pilgrim routes into St. Albans. Soak up the history and architecture of the area, as well as music history!
This area is packed with history and interesting pubs, some open, and some no longer with us.
