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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Don’t bother. Booked a room for a business colleague so he was in the town centre. The place let me down and left me looking stupid. He told me his room was cold and not particularly clean and the shower had a constant drip which made it hard to fall to sleep. He also said there was no hot breakfast available in the morning. Such a shame.

Being back in Burton for another pub crawl we thought we would look this place up again for probably the last time as it is due to close at the end of October in an act of complete vandalism by Molson Coors, showing a total lack of respect for brewing history by planning to redevelop the site for offices. Have these people no morals or respect? Clearly not. As for the tap room and restaurant itself, it’s a fairly sterile corporate affair but at least the hanging pub signs in the restaurant section does try and give it a bit of character. And in my experience the bar staff serving behind the bar have always given the impression that they are suffering for their profession and would rather be somewhere else. Although cannot comment on the food as we have never eaten here and again were only here for the tap bar bit, but can certainly pass judgement on the ale and in that respect the beer was very good, but then you would expect it to be as it is the official tap bar for the Heritage Brewery, embedded in the National Brewery Centre next door, and they don’t have to travel very far. The Tap bar has six hand pumps and for our visit these were dispensing the Heritage Brewery Masterpiece IPA, Heritage Gold, Charrington IPA and Oatmeal Stout as well as Draught Bass and Elgood black dog on as a guest. I went for the Oatmeal Stout. It is not one of the best tap rooms I have ever visited, but it is probably one of the most famous, so I will be very sad to see it go, if this act of vandalism is allowed to proceed by the local council and the local MP. If it is then the very soul of Burton on Trent will go with it.
