Located in Stanford Dingley, near the Middleton family home in Berkshire, the Old Boot Inn is sure to be near the top of Princess Kate's list.  Former chef Rody Warot told PEOPLE Magazine that Kate is a huge fan of the food.

"Her favourite [dishes] are the pate on toasted brioche or the roast figs on parma ham with spicy apple chutney, followed by the tiger prawn and wild mushroom linguine," he explained. 

Adding: "And for the [dessert], her favourite is sticky toffee pudding. It’s moist and spongy." 

The pub's landlord, John Haley, also explained William and Kate enjoy popping in for a glass of wine.

"They'd just come in, sit down and have a chat. I think they like it here because it’s just somewhere they can go and relax and get away from it all. 

"There’s no big deal about it. There’s no entourage at all."

According to Tatler, the late Queen Elizabeth II left pub regulars in disbelief when she and a few of her relatives headed into Scotland’s oldest pub for a meal after the Musselburgh races. 

According to the publication, "the small royal party apparently took a window seat and ordered two portions of lamb rump, one sea bass fillet, a martini and half a bottle of white wine."
