Horseshoe Inn in East Staffordshire

Warm and friendly welcome from entering. Ian was fantastic took time to speak to us and introduce the team. The food and drinks was lovely and very well priced. Looking forward to visiting again as this is our new local pub!

Absolutely cracking pint of Pedigree. They're dog friendly. Not tried the food but looks very nice. Thursday night is quiz night. Overall out of 5 I'd would have given it a 6 . Will be going again. Need to try the food !

Very friendly staff, lovely cosy pub with multiple rooms for a more homely feel. The food was excellent and the portion size just right. My elderly parents love the pub and its location is convenient. Plenty of parking as well. There are a number of steps so people with mobility issues might struggle. The only contention was the cauliflower, cook it a bit longer!! Other than that, brilliant.

We love dining at the horseshoe. It's a lovely atmosphere. The owner and his family are brilliant and are always so friendly and happy to help. The food is always so delicious. Very budget friendly.

Everyone was very nice & welcoming and this very nice lady called susie Served us and she was delightful. Wi-Fi wasn’t very good but everything else was we will be back soon:sign Isla xx

Very friendly welcome, nice staff and food was excellent very much worth a visit good background music. Country pub with lots going on

Best pub in the area with friendly hard working staff Mondays a must cheap beer must pay it a visit you won’t be disappointed

Amazing team at the Horseshoe. Susi, Alan and Ian have transformed the pub, cleaning, refreshing, new food offers, engaging entertainment, superb car park and garden facilities. A great destination pub, well worth a visit.

Nice little quiet country pub, friendly staff, but didn't have any food, garden could with some tending too.

Great 'find' with an extensive menu, especially the tasty well cooked steaks. Good value too. Super staff & a friendly Landlord who knows how to serve a decent pint!

We took my Mum and Dad for a meal, the food was lovely and the service was great. Very friendly pub, I highly recommend a visit

We had such a lovely evening here - we are currently staying locally and wanted to check out some nice country pubs, the horse shoe did not disappoint! A quirky old country pub feel, dog friendly which was really important for us, and polite staff where nothing is too much trouble. We thought tried a couple of bites off the menu, which were delicious - fish and chips and steaks cooked to perfection - you couldn't go wrong! The owner of the pub was great - very accommodating for us and made us feel so welcome. Thank you Ian and the team, we will be returning!

Friendly staff, good service excellent pub menu, luv the Mac & Cheese. Enjoyed the Help for Heroes charity race night The quiz nights are not to be missed as the Landlord is just the sharpest quiz master ever. A lovely pub for family get togethers.

The food was excellent, cooked to perfection. Very friendly staff, owner took his time to come and chat with us and tell us all about the entertainment they do on certain days which was a lovely thing to do, they even brought their puppy Prince to our table to introduce him to us. Overall we were very impressed with everything and will definitely be back again. Thank you

Was really happy to discover the horse shoe inn was just a little further down the road from where I was staying. The pub is an authentic English pub, cosy, lovely interior, atmospheric- exactly what I look for in an establishment (somewhere you can sit with a few bottles of wine and lose track of time). The staff were all super friendly! Their dog prince was even friendlier (cutest puppy ever)! Stayed for dinner, the fish was delicious, also shared a steak which was equally good. Nice traditional pub classics done well! It's fair to say we will definitely we popping back in over the few weeks we are in town! Thank you for the lovely evening horse shoe in!

Great meal, good value and welcoming smile.

Service was slow as only one person working the bar and also serving food. No cutlery on the tables (had to go and collect my own), no serviettes available either. Table was sticky. Kitchen could be heard continually hitting bell for waiting staff to deliver food, in the end the chef brought out the food himself. Ordered a “mega mixed grill” but was told 10 minutes later I couldn’t have it due to insufficient ingredients, so was given a regular mixed grill instead. The starters of chicken strips and breaded mushrooms were ok but had obviously spent too long in the fryer. Main courses (mixed grill & hunters chicken) arrived, the salad with the chicken looked manky and unappetising, the egg was over cooked, the tiniest piece of gammon was mostly fat & the steak was gristle and super chewy with the mixed grill. When paying for the meal, the serving staff had to be reminded that a mega mixed grill was not had, as they had not adjusted the bill. Overall, we left feeling disappointed with our experience and both agreed we wouldn’t eat there again.

Nice pub, good pint, friendly landlord. The Sunday Lunches looked really good as well. Would have awarded five stars but it needs a good clean generally including the garden area. We will return and then hopefully it will be the full five stars 🙏🤞

Nice, quiet and friendly place in the middle of a beautiful natural spot in Tatenhill. It's not our first time there and we'll be back for sure. 100% recommend.

Extremely pleasant experience, customer service excellent, food and drinks also excellent. Highly recommended!!!

Very nice place to spend some time. It's worth coming for good food. I recommend it

We have used them for many family events. Always amazing service.

Lovely pub , staff and food, will be our new local!!

Regular pub menu is not cooked well. Beer and service good. Fantastic beer garden

Welcoming staff and landlord, suzie was very helpful when I enquired about my allergy.

Had a super Gammon and Egg meal and the staff were superb, food on a hot plate and piping hot chips , just like Mother makes.

Went here for my 50th with a party of 15. Amazing venue, great staff who were very welcoming and helpful. Food and drinks were superb with some amazing deserts!! Please visit this pub if in the area or visiting Burton and looking for quality food at a great price. Thanks to all Team Horseshoe for a great day. 👍🏻

Nice atmosphere, good selection to choose from, not expensive. Couldn't be more dog friendly ❤️

Our bi annual trip to this lovely country pub when we are back in the UK. We were recommended the fish and chips by the very chatty Alan. He was right that the batter on the fish was light and very tasty. The fish and the chips were also good!! Nice pub and friendly staff. See you again when we are back.

Staff and food excellent. It's twenty year since our last visit (we moved home), but we will definitely call again when we are in the area.

Good welcome when we arrived Food was brilliant. Service was really good.

This is one of the worst places I've ever been. Food has landed on our table 90 minutes from ordering (after reminding the staff). We were not made aware prior, that for whatever reason the waiting time is so ridiculous, otherwise we would gone away. However, they've told us, they are short staffed, when we asked about our food. Well, firstly that's not our problem and secondly you should make the guest aware of waiting time. Me and my partner both ordered a burger, both plates were below average. If I would like to have frozen fries with a bit of burn from fryer, which has not been cleaned for ages, I am pretty sure I would be able to make this myself at home. Garden is dirty, with not necessary bits around, grass it cut around the tables, they were not bothered to move tables. We won't be coming back and I would suggest you to avoid this place.

Very impressed with this pub! Great live music tonight, very welcoming landlord and lovely atmosphere! Different rooms to choose from, lots of parking spaces and everyone was so friendly. Definitely will go back again as the food was special. Couldn’t fault it.

Great pub. Very friendly landlord. Entertainment was spot-on. Highly recommended.

Went for an afternoon coffee and dessert with friends. Had the apple crumble and custard! One of the best crumbles I have ever had! Highly recommend

This place is very underated, Been in 3 weeks in a row for lunch and can not fault the quality, service is spot on ,perfect country pub with traditional food,give it a try!

Great pub for quiet drink and simple comfort food. The staff and locals are all super friendly, service is great and its dog and muddy boot friendly. Often a good mix of locals and new faces, not like many nice pubs where everybody turns and stares if a stranger walks in.

Called in at The Horseshoe for a completely unplanned meal. We were not disappointed....generous servings, well cooked and great staff! Not only good food but now regular music nights too!!! Well done Ian and staff for all your efforts in making sure that everyone is looked after so well.....special thanks to Molly, Jess and Sean!!

The toilet and sink were dirty.

Great menu. Lots if veggie options. Thanks to Sean the chef. Would recommend 👌

Great night at The Horseshoe. Pub atmosphere superb with ABBA tribute band rocking the audience. Bar staff friendly and efficient.

Went for a meal on 3rd Feb using my 30% discount and it was all delicious! My partner had the chicken tikka curry and I don't usually eat curry but I tried that and I ate more of it than he did 😂🙈just spot on! Was with naan bread, poppadoms, mango chutney and chips. Absolutely brilliant! I had the hotdog and even though it was different to any other hotdog I've had, it was just lovely! Their cheese bites on the starters are my favourite thing, always hot and crispy and gooey 😍 Thank you for another excellent meal!

We booked a table for 7 people to watch the ABBA tribute band last night. What a fabulous night ! The pub was packed and the atmosphere was great. Enjoyed a few drinks and some good honest pub food. The band were excellent. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to The Horseshoe. Thank you.

Great food and service and friendly (dog friendly) landlord. Had chicken Piti baguette with chips and fish and chips which was very tasty

Great food service and made to feel welcome and valued The portions were just right and everything was so fresh, the roast beef melted in the mouth. The jam alone light and the custard creamy will certainly be back soon

Had a lovely family meal, the pub was busy but the food didn't take too long to arrive. The staff were friendly and the general manager made a point to come and speak to us when we finished out meals.

Beer is good, service very good. The only thing that I feel lets it down is the cleanliness. As a child friendly pub serving food I would expect everywhere to be spotless. Floors are generally grubby and the toilets (especially the ones near the gambling machine) were horrible. Looked like they hadn't been cleaned for weeks. A real shame.

Booked in for Sunday lunch, welcomed by a friendly lovely young lady behind the bar. Ordered drinks then sat at our table while looking through the menu. Plenty of choice, even had a specials board. Ian the Manager took our order and we chatted for a while. The food came out, we both had the roast beef. It was fabulous, very tasty would highly recommend. Only just had room for a pudding, also fabulous. Ian told us about up coming events he has planned. We will definitely be back with family and friends

took a while for food to be served, but ok for price.

Ian the landlord made us feel very special and comfortable, he was very attentive and accommodating . Food was excellent and delicious, I would have given him 11/10 , it’s so refreshing to eat and drink and served by someone with a smile on their faces , well done Ian .

Very welcoming and comfy. Decent prices and helpful Landlord.

Stopover in our motorhome for Xmas. Had a fantastic time, lovely food and great locals. The Landlord, Ian made us welcome and was an amazing host. Food and drink well priced and delicious. Plenty of varied entertainment, and pub homely and comfortable. A 'definite' for a return trip 🙏💞

Waited over an hour for a food order, went up to the bar too cancel one meal and ask when the other meal would be ready as I was concerned that the head chef in charge of the microwave might have fallen asleep or fell into the chip fryer The fish and chip order came but looked like it had been on holiday at the nevada nuclear test site Very disappointed with the whole experience today, very poor service

Visiting my friend in Burton who booked us in for lunch Very welcoming pub excellent food and service Really enjoyed the chips :+) Lots of nooks and crannies they even have a library and dog walkers are welcome Very community orientated pub

Lovely Christmas meal Ian and his team did a great job will see you again soon and will bring the dogs xx

We came today for our Christmas lunch - the first time we had eaten out on Christmas Day. Everything was perfect, the food, the atmosphere and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back next year - thank you so much 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Me & x2 friend's popped to the horseshoes last night and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the ultimate Southern fried chicken burger ( wish I'd of taken a photo ) it was one of the best I've had, highly recommended 👌 juicy and super tasty

Beautiful food, good disabled parking spots for my husband. We got there and had been given a lovely quiet table. We were treated to a festive 3 course meal and nothing was too much for the staff, even was entertained with a bit of magic....

This visit was for a family Christmas meal. All 3 courses were lovely., well presented and freshly presented/cooked. All staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The manager was great and we felt like we were special. Thankyou.

We went to the Horseshoe for a family Christmas meal. All 3 courses were lovely. Freshly made/cooked and beautifully presented. All staff members were friendly and helpful. The entertainment by the manager at the end of the meal rounded off a fantastic evening. Thankyou

Have not been to the Horseshoe for quite a few years as it did not seem particularly inviting and the menu became boring ( unchanged for ages ). After reading a review that a new landlord had taken over and changes had been implemented, my wife and I decided to give it a go. On entering the pub, it seemed more inviting as well as keeping the character of the place. The landlord gave the impression that he wanted the visit to be a pleasant experience and was adamant that he wanted everything to be right. I would certainly recommend Horseshoe. There was a good choice of food and the meals we ordered were certainly tasteful and well cooked. Look forward to going there again.

Absolutely fantastic food, the pub was very quiet for a Saturday night but I can't fault it!

Very nice pub. Friendly owner and staff couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome , the owner Ian was brilliant to talk to and great with the kids can teach great magic!! His daughter Steph was also just as fun to be around sat with them all afternoon/evening. Ended up staying for food even though we popped in for one brilliant atmosphere people and food!! Thank you all Neil, Kate and Chase. Steve, Becky ,Tyler and Chester ps thanks for the cards 👍🏻 😀

Nice little pub with a good pint . Food was very nice and excellent service very Friendly

A very warm and friendly welcome and lovely food in this dog friendly pub. Nice walks from the pub car park too to build up your appetite. Will be back soon 😊

Great pub/restaurant, beer, food, garden, staff. What more could you ask for on a Friday? Fish chips and a pudding.

Nice, friendly, welcoming staff, clean tables, condiments and cutlery. Not too busy( lunchtime on a Thursday) lots of choice on menu also special offers changed daily. Nothing seems too much trouble, I would highly recommend

Close to Screamfest. Went there afterwards. The staff were lovely and the food was nice too. The place was packed and had a good atmosphere.

Absolutely beautiful roast beef for a very reasonable price. Extremely friendly host and staff serving real ale.

Roast beef and gravy Sunday lunch was delicious

For a quiet place the food was amazing! Compliments to the chef!

My recent visit to the Horseshoes was fantastic! The service was friendly, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be coming back to the Horseshoes. It's a great local spot to...

Warm and cheerful staff, serving tasty food and great entertainment , quiz nights and live music evenings,

We saw on social media that there was a singer performing last night. On this basis we booked a table for our family of 6 to enjoy dinner prior to the show. The food was excellent classic pub food. All the food arrived simultaneously and...

This is my local pub and over the years it’s had some ups and downs don’t like how a few people that had taken it on been treated but that’s gone now but Ian I take my hat off to you your doing your absolute...

Absolutely lovely experience, fantastic food, good beer and made very welcome, landlords card tricks topped off the experience

Popped in for lunch with the family today, the food was fantastic, not an ounce of greese on the plates, these guys obviously take great pride in their food and their kitchen, we were made truly welcome by the landlord and had a perfect experience....

What can I say other than fantastic!!! The landlord couldn’t do enough for us and the dog, he went above and beyond we even had a card trick or two at the table. The food was fantastic as well so we’ve now booked for Christmas...

With a couple of hours to kill we stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. We received a wonderfully warm welcome from the new manager of the pub who took time to check in with us and see what our experience was like. I’ll tell you what I told him - top notch! We took advantage of the Thursday night offer of a steak and drink for £12.95 - absolute bargain. The steak was tender, well seasoned and cooked perfectly medium as requested. Chips and onion rings piping hot and plentiful veggies finished the plate. Dietary needs were accommodated with no bother at all. Our compliments to the chef! The pub is warm and inviting, gently bustling but quiet enough to chat and relax. It sounds like new management have plenty of events planned to explore too! Would highly recommend stopping by and supporting this lovely village pub. We will be back.

Went to the horseshoe inn on a family recommendation,all the staff were very friendly and professional. My wife has a food intolerance but the Sunday lunch we had was adapted for her and was exellent.The waitress who served us (Jess) although quite young was a...

Hi to you all. We came in to have drink and snack last Friday night. When we arrived it was an 80’s night. While we enjoyed the food and drink, the disco music was brilliant and after politely asking if we could possibly request a couple of our favourites, we were thrilled (even started dancing ha ha). Really looking forward to our next visit. Cheers 🥂

Great meals and excellent beer. Thank-you Ian

Just back from a lovely family meal, the food and drinks were delicious. A great family pub, we’ve been coming here for years, I will say the new landlord has stepped up the quality on the food, nice specials and very attentive. We shall be...

Excellent food fantastic host and staff

We visited the Horseshoe Inn after going to Adventure Farm. We chose the most inn as they was a good selection on offer for vegan, little ones and us. The welcome was great and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and my daughter loved the BBQ cauliflower wings. I’m glad I saved space for the sherry trifle cheesecake, amazing. Thank you to all the staff especially, Zion.

Stayed over in Burton and the food at the Horse shoe Inn was fantastic. Staff really friendly cant fault it.

Ian was super helpful and nothing was a problem, large group of 15 adults and children all fed, all watered, all happy customers!!

Just had our first Sunday lunch here under new management, food was Fabulous, very obliging service. You really need to visit and experience this for yourselves .

Worst Sunday dinner ever! Beef was nice but the rest was awfull . Frozen potatoes and yorkshire puding when it states homemade,soggy broccoli ,plate swimming in gravy and no horseradish sauce!!! 50 minute wait too and pub wasnt even busy . Used to be a good pub with good food but very disapointing today! Wont be returning! Pedegree was ok!

Pub empty when we went. Always used to be good. Nice food with simplistic regular menu.

I rarely leave reviews but felt compelled to for this pub. We stopped in here for food as staying the night nearby pre our Alton Towers trip. The landlord really made the experience for us. So friendly and accommodating - even managing the kitchen’s closing hours to allow for one of our party arriving late from Scotland. The landlord was so engaging and made each and every one of us feel at ease and welcome. He even entertained the kids with some card tricks. Food was top notch and on settling the bill at the end of the night was amazed at how reasonable it was given the quality.

The food was absolutely fantastic! We had a wonderful time here at the Horseshoe. Atmosphere was amazing. Booked for a large party and everyone said how lovely the food was and how friendly the staff are. Service could improve as delays bringing meals out, but think that was due to staff shortages. We can appreciate they did their absolute best. Hats off to the chefs !

Family friendly pub, new landlord came and introduced himself to us. Definitely be returning here soon.

Great beer, friendly and attentive staff.

Brilliant service great food in fact best steak I have had just melted in my mouth

Visited for my husband’s birthday, greeted by a very friendly landlord. Served by Molly who was also friendly and polite. Food was great, compliments to Sean the chef Also happened to be quiz night which was good fun

Rated at 4 stars as they let you stay in the car park with a motorhome, would be a 3 star, only real issue is that the place is a bit tired, needs a good overhaul and tidy up outside, staff very accommodating.

lovely place, great service, very welcoming and caring

Only a short visit, didn't have any food, brilliant outside seating and play area

Visited 24 and 25 June 2023. Quite a lot not available - no steak, no burgers, a couple of desserts not available. No veg with the curry. And I don't understand why a straw is necessary in a glass of water.
