Great food, just a shame about a rude staff member. Trying to order food and when someone changed their mind whilst in the process of ordering (not after the order had been paid for and submitted), the young man visibly sighed and curled his fingers in frustration. Meal was tasty and reasonably well cooked, good value for money. But I doubt I’ll be back

After the refurb this place has totally changed for the better. The whole vibe inside is much nicer, the smoking area is 1000x, and week to week the atmosphere is top notch. Jake, the kitchen manager handles food like nobodies business, absolute bees knees. Zak, on the bar, pours the finest Guinness known to man. And Sophia’s is not too shabby either. 10/10, would recommend, always got the footy on. A lovely Euros was had at the horseshoe!

We’ve been coming to the pub once a week for the last 4 months. Always arriving between 8.40pm - 9pm. Every week we ask if they’re still serving food and are told the kitchen is shut. You clearly state you serve food to 9pm. It’s even more frustrating to see ‘friends of the staff members’ being served after 9pm.

I ordered the plant burger which was supposed to come with fries and onion rings according to the menu but it came without these and only with chunky chips (which I hate). When I had gone to the till to order she asked if I wanted it vegan. I asked what the difference was and she said just the cheese is changed. I asked her if this meant the fries and onion rings still come with it and she said yes. So I went ahead and ordered. My presumption is that the fries and onion rings aren't vegan because of the coating and that's why they weren't on the plate but they quickly put it down without me realizing. My husband had fries so they clearly hadn't run out. This meant I essentially only had the burger for the best part of £15. I wouldn't mind but there was no check back so I ate some of my husband's food also, and went hungry. Staff need to learn their menu but also they need to ensure there's no issues with the food. People paying £15 for a meal these days it needs to be actually worth it!!

Dirty menus and poor food, my steak was inedible, just fat and gristle, hunters chicken was overpowered by the bbq sauce, burger was burnt and to be honest I was still hungry when I left as the meals are more like child portions! So disappointed that I will not be eating there again any time soon! Come on green king sort yourselves out other green king pubs are so much better

The bingo night at the Horseshoe was a celestial spectacle, transcending mere entertainment to become an immersive odyssey of delight. From the moment I stepped into the venue, I was enveloped in a whirlwind of excitement and wonder. The ambiance was like stepping into a dreamscape, with twinkling lights, vibrant colors, and the hum of anticipation filling the air. The staff were like magicians, orchestrating the evening with precision and grace, ensuring every guest felt like a VIP. Their warmth and hospitality created an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy, where strangers became friends united by the thrill of the game. And oh, the games themselves! Each round was a voyage of discovery, as we eagerly awaited the next number to be called. The tension mounted with each drawn ball, until finally, someone shouted "Bingo!" and the room erupted in cheers and applause. But it wasn't just the games that dazzled; it was the prizes. They weren't just rewards; they were treasures beyond imagination, each one more coveted than the last. From luxurious getaways to exotic destinations to dazzling cash prizes, the offerings were fit for royalty. In every way, the bingo night at the Horseshoe was a transcendent experience, a symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations that left me breathless with wonder. It was an evening so extraordinary, so out of this world, that it defies description. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat.

This operates an 'order at the bar' system and when the pub is busy, as it was when we visited, this can take some time. However, the staff are very friendly and efficient and the food was very good. The restaurant area of the pub was very noisy as it got busier, but a good vibe overall.
