The Horseshoe Inn in Wiltshire

Beautiful venue with stylish decor, superb food and great staff! Large gardens too. Destination venue - well worth a visit!

Food was exquisite for a local pub, will definitely come back

Great refurb to this pub local pub. Delicious burrata and fennel starter and sea bream cassoulet. The lighting might be great for older generations that like food floodlit, but it gave a slight ‘party’s over’ vibe where we ate. Would recommend the chefs table area, especially for groups!

A very tasty lunch - special wings were delicious as was the custard tart! Nice selection of drinks on tap and friendly quick service. Lunch on Saturday lacked some atmosphere but bad weather may have contributed Bunce's

A brilliant pub with fantastic food and service.

Excellent staff, excellent food

Food was amazing and staff were brilliant. Will definitely be going back and recommending the Horseshoe to my friends.

SUBLIME!! Amelia kindly accommodated our party of 5 very last minute for Sunday Lunch. We were warmly welcomed and seated in a lovely, area where we all selected different meats of choice, partnered with a two side dishes of cauliflower cheese. The meal was cooked to perfection and the yorkshires had the WOW factor!! - the desserts were also sublime and we all chose the chocolate moose as too full for crumble. Amelia and Kate were the perfect hosts and it really made the day very Special and was greatly appreciated by all of us. We will definately be back very soon. THANK YOU.....and compliments to the Chef and everyone in the kitchen. Xx

I'm not exaggerating when I say that was the best fish n chips I've ever had - eaten in or take away! The batter was sublime as was the perfectly cooked, white, just translucent and wonderfully moist fish inside. They describe the curry sauce, which was served alongside, and with tartare sauce, as 'chip shop curry sauce' on the menu, however this was something different - not the glupy out of the packet sugary custard like stuff you're sold in the high street -, this was 'proper' refined , delicate spiced curry sauce. The piece de resistance were the mushy peas, except these were no ordinary mushy peas: a puree of verdant lusciousness that accompanied my every mouthful of fish and chips until there was no-more. Obviously yesterday, (29/03/2024) myself, my wife and mother-in-law ate in at this special pub, come high-end bistro extraordinare. Exceptional service too from the young lady (assistant manager) who remembered my mother in law from her previous visit, adding to the charm of this village oasis.

Having stopped in last week for some food, I was pleasantly greeted by the young lady behind the bar, whom I believe was called Alex. The food was above and beyond amazing, I can't recommend it enough! Service was swift and no request seemed too much of an ask for Alex, her attentiveness and friendly demeanor certainly added to an already enjoyable visit! Highly recommend, I will definitely visit again!

Impeccable service, elevating the pub experience with genuine warmth and efficiency. A standout destination for hospitality

This superb pub has a large car park to the rear and is very dog friendly. The food is excellent I had the pulled pork burger which I recommend, there is a children’s menu. The ladies who looked after us were wonderful and put up with our table for 6 including 2 young children plus a Labrador. We were there on a Saturday and it was busy. Booking is recommended.

Well worth visiting the pub, it has a lovely atmosphere and the food was great.

The first time we have eaten here.and it was excellent. The staff are welcoming , friendly and efficient. Everyone’s roast was perfect, the vegetarian option was excellent. All very good value. I highly recommend the Horseshoe and we will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff.

Had a really good Sunday dinner at Horseshoe pub My wife had the Chicken,And I had the Lamb roast potatoes and lots of veggies,service was excellent , Would definitely recommend, will be going back. Rob

A great find outside of Marlborough. Quality food from people that genuinely seem to care about it. Interesting combinations and specials and all at a very reasonable price. A tiny quibble, they have a cool open kitchen hatch but the music in the kitchen bleeds into the dinning room music that was also playing Either would have been fine but both together was a bit dissonant.

Such a good roast. You won’t be disappointed. A huge portion of food and everything was so tasty. The best roast of this size with so much famous that we’ve had in a pub for a very long time The veg, the gravy, the beef, the mustard, the cauliflower cheese and the huge Yorkshire pudding….I ate the lot. Definitely will visit again.

Don’t come here if you’re in a hurry! Food actually EXCELLENT but we had to wait AN HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES after ordering to get it.. Restaurant really chilly and noisy (possibly due to lack of soft furnishings, fans and stone tables). Staff very pleasant and apologetic…

We enjoyed the visit so much last time that we all wanted to come back. It was interesting to see some variation in the menu (I enjoyed my last meal so much, I would probably have ordered the same again). The food selection was interesting and there was a good selection to suit all tastes. The portions were generous and the service was friendly and professional. There was a great atmosphere in the pub and a good mix of people in the bar section and restaurant.

Lovely evening meal. The lamb was exceptional, great service.. Can't fault in any way.

A really lovely pub that's cosy and friendly. Delicious food and great atmosphere. We had a fun family dinner which felt like a real treat!

This is a brilliant pub. Great lunch enjoyed today, and the food was excellent

Great atmosphere in the pub, its nice to see a small village pub full of life on a Thursday evening. We ate in the restaurant on the back of the pub and really enjoyed the visit. The host was friendly and knowledgable and gave good information on each of the dishes. The restaurant has a cosy intimate feel to it and is attached to an open kitchen so you watch the chef work their magic. I went for the BBQ prawns and focaccia as a starter and the bacon cheeseburger as a main. Both were cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The food did not disappoint and all of us were were impressed with the quality, portion size and reasonable pricing. Thanks for a great night, we'll be back soon!

Really lovely atmosphere and food

Head chef, Nick Oborne, has brought his love of fire roasted cooking to this delightful country pub. If you book the Chef’s table, four of you can watch the master calmly at work and see your meat or fish cooked from scratch. To accompany it is a selection of glorious vegetable dishes. Imaginative, healthy and tasty. The menu offers a great selection for vegetarian, dairy and gluten free eaters and is very competitively priced. This was our second visit and it didn’t disappoint.

Oh my the food in this pub was beautiful, everything we had was cooked perfectly and tasted lovely 😁

The renaissance of the Horseshoe this year has been remarkable. The staff, in particular the gentleman who runs the bar, are helpful, courteous and super efficient. Put that alongside excellent food from a well run kitchen and visit the Horseshoe to enjoy one of the best gastropub experience in East Wiltshire. Hats off to the excellent staff and their wise employers. BTW, the menus have just been updated, we'll report soon on the results.

I liked this pub when I first visited in 2020. Since then it’s been taken over and improved on every level. I’m so glad more is being made of the huge garden. Unbeatable on a sunny day. The staff were all lovely and the food we chose was terrific. Thank you.

Great place to come for a drink with a lovely atmosphere. A great menu with excellent food. Always feel welcome by the batman. Well recommended.

Had the worst service I’ve had in a long time the food was nice but we waited one hour for our starter, the chef and waitress were visibly arguing, and the man behind the bar was incredibly unfriendly, they were very busy because the cricket team came in but even before that the bar man was miserable. Our meal took hours because the service was so slow, the chips were trashed, we had a main then a side 15 mins later, then the Gluten free burger came out not as gluten free so it had to be returned and took another 15 mins. The waitress did apologies but then probably should of knocked something off the bill as it was a truly awful experience and they knew it! It’s my second time since the refit and both times now haven’t been great and it’s expensive for such a poor experience

A little gem, clean and tidy with a good range of ales and beers. Excellent food, beautifully presented, really tasty and not your standard pub fare. Friendly staff and a nice welcoming atmosphere.

Live locally and eventually made the effort to try , the Pubs lovely, great ambiance. The lunch menu doesn’t have a huge choice, we both had the fish and chips. Home made chips, light crunchy batter, served with lovely curry sauce, tarter sauce and mint mashed peas. We will be back!

Mistakes made during service and bad acoustics made chatting difficult

Really cosy and charming. Only had beers here which there are good range of (nice to see Siren & Meantime on draught).

Fantastic local pub, great beer, wine and food. The pub has recently been restored, and was an amazing location with a great beer garden. Staff very friendly.

Food, drinks, staff, interior and atmosphere leave nothing to be desired. Head to Mildenhall for delicious meats from the grill, original side dishes and tasty relishes and tapenades. There are several rooms, but if you sit near the Chef's Counter you can see the magic happening. I warmly recommend the duck breast with gooseberry thyme gel and the lamb rump with tapenade. Choose garlic butter potatoes and fire roasted salad for sides - heavenly!

Nice pub, good food and atmosphere. We had a sunday lunch and it was great, except for the chicken, which was a bit dry. Overall, it was very good.

Absolutely lovely staff, wonderful food and drinks. Fantastic atmosphere

Delicious Sunday roast, with an impressive collection of ales and lagers on tap.

Divine gastro-pub that has not yet been fully discovered making it all the more fresh and delightful. The new owners have transformed the Listed building with paired down quality refurbishment. The staff have been long loyal and are a credit to the owners and the chef. The chef is standout - fantastic grill menu with superb sides, best in Wiltshire dare we say. Puddings too, intensity and so well balanced. Well worth any travel needed to reach.

Excellent food, a lovely atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely evening, and we will definitely be back.

Food was just beautiful and so much of it. Crispy pork was the best I’ve tasted. The staff are polite and attentive. The whole experience was very positive.

I took my brother to the Horseshoe for lunch to celebrate his birthday. It was mid week and the pub was very quiet. We were well received by the friendly waitress, who cared for our every need all through lunch. Food was glorious. Beautifully presented, clean tasting, fresh and delicious. The menu was not extensive, however we found it a pleasant venue with enough choice. We shared a start of Beetroot hummus, babaganoush, dukkha, roasted tomato tapenade, pickles & flatbread which was truly yum, and enough for the two of us at £12 we felt it was great value. For mains my brother ordered ale battered haddock, pea puree, chip shop curry sauce, chips & charred lemon cost £16. He virtually licked his fingers and plate, and said it was excellent, one of the best fish and chip meals he’d had in a very long time. For my main I had Chicken shawarma, flatbread, mint yogurt, salad & chips £18. It was a an elevated glorified kebab really. Beautifully cooked, with great ingredients and well presented. This is a great young chef who is certainly elevating food, giving us what we know at another level without trying to be too clever. Love it! Highly recommend 10/10

Excellent Wiltshire village pub. Very friendly and comfortable. Gloriously fresh, delicious food and a good selection of drinks too. Top notch. Highly recommend.

Staff and atmosphere was great but food was underwhelming. The chips that came with our dishes were oily and over-cooked. My bacon cheeseburger came with one burned rasher of bacon and the patty was very tough, and the bun was either stale or over toasted.

Lovely evening out with family members. Good food and lovely pub, waitress’s very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic menu and food. Able to cater for dietary requirements as standard with a great selection. Visited for a work do and then had to return with the family shortly after as was so good. Beautifully decorated - nice vibe. Highly recommend. Had a look at the Sunday lunch menu and it also looks delicious, it’s next on the list to try!

A refreshed review required, as the pub has been considerably spruced up! The inside is immaculate, slightly modern (OK the bar is modern) yet cosy and just right. A special mention to the toilets as they are beautiful! Staff are amazing. Attentive and on the ball, friendly yet businesslike. A true credit to the trade. The food surprised me. The menu had me stumped a tad - mostly because I favour the pie, ploughmans and a few olde English goodies (can't beat a roast). However, I stepped out my comfort zone and ordered something unusual for me - the chicken schwarma (If that's how it's spelt). I was not disappointed! It was magnificent. The quality, flavours, textures all amazing. All of it delicious. We were quite a crowd and all food came out perfectly at the sane time and in good order. All were very pleased, and quite a variety of things were ordered. Alas I was driving, so ginger beer was afoot for me, however I heard warm compliments from the rest of the crew regarding the beer. Good choice of drinks. Can't recommend the place enough. My original review from 4 years ago below. ----------------------- A proper country pub. Nice chairs around a blazing fire, roses around the door, nice gardens, car park, good pub grub, reasonable selection of beers, great customer service, beautiful countryside, has locals and visitors, not gentrified or artificial, - the essence of a English country pub. If you are after the sort of English countryside pub you would see on a film or tv production, this is it! I'm going g back again for sure!

Amazing variety of food, including yummy veggie selections. Super friendly staff, gorgeous garden! Highly recommend.

Great pub and restaurant, we were a party of 9 and we were very impressed with the service and friendly welcome. Would definitely recommend the Horseshoe.

Fantastic food and service. Great menu, simple yet really well delivered. My skate wing was delicious and the side dishes were innovative and superb. Great value.

Decided to stop at this amazing pub on our way back from collecting two kittens from a local farm. Despite arriving there half an hour before opening (at around 11:30) they were super friendly, let us park there and allowed us to sit in a...

A first visit to The Horseshoe and very impressed. Location, building, food and service, were all excellent.

Lovely village pub that the new landlords have updated sensitively. Good village atmosphere, nice food and well priced. Will return.

The first time we had eaten here. We were not disappointed. Fantastic roast full of flavour. The staff we so lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be back

Probably one of the tastiest meals I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, seasoning was bang on and the quality of the ingredients was bang on. I wouldn’t be surprised if this place gets a star in years to come. The staff are helpful and friendly, and...

We walked from the Savernake Forest to the pub, which had come highly recommend, and rightfully so! I had the veggie burger, beetroot etc, which was excellent. My wife had the fish and chips, which she loved. Lovely pint, lovely freshly renovated pub. We've booked to go back for Sunday lunch, and we're confident we'll have a great time... Go there, you won't be disappointed!

Very nice quiet location not in the centre of Marlborough but just this side of town. Great big open field behind the pub with tables. Great for kids to run around and burn off energy. Lovely food. Good staff.

Shows promise, will try again but I think not for Sunday lunch.

I was invited to join friends for lunch at The Horseshoe as they had eaten there previously and highly recommended it. Now I find myself recommending it to other friends as I was so impressed with the food (particularly the bubble & squeak which was...

Beautiful pub, in beautiful countryside. Dog friendly in the bar. Great staff and service. Freshly cooked food, and great value money wise. We will be back one evening to sit at The Chefs Table. 😊

I visited the Horseshoe for Sunday lunch in April 2023 I would rate my visit 6.5 out of 10, here is why : - welcome (gentlemen served us looked tied ). - food, Sunday roast (beef was over cooked, veggies where excellent very tasty vegetables) - drinks, wine was very average Merlot £19, price ok but wine not good very poor. -desert ok, sticky toffee was more like toffee sponge cake that sticky toffee pudding. I would try again maybe lunch in the garden in the summer but I would not rush back. ✅ I understand it has not been open long so I am sure things will improve

Attentive to our party's allergy issue. My children enjoyed trying the small plates. The sides were interesting! A good meal.

We had a family birthday dinner here - food was good, children were happy. They enjoyed trying the small plates. The staff were attentive to our allergy issue as well.

Cheerful warm welcome from Staff. Very Good Food & Refreshments. Modest prices. Comfortable seating. Large Car Park.

Popped in just passing, and so glad we did as it was an amazing!! Absolutely outstanding food and everything cooked to perfection!! And all locally sourced, Best we've had in the area. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, made us feel very welcome, even with our weird drinks requests 😂 Also dog friendly!! Cannot praise them enough. Extremely satisfied customers!! Would give 6 stars if we could 😊 very satisfied customers 🙌

Excellent service, food and wine. We very much enjoyed our evening and would recommend this establishment. First class service, keep it coming.

I took two friends to the 'new' Horseshoe for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely excellent. The service was great (busy day and lots of people), the bar where we sat (with my terrier) had nice new fresh decor, and the waitresses were smiling and...

Food and service amazing so excited this pub is near where I live as we struggle to get both these days when you have a meal out .

Sunday lunch was amazing. Vegetables beautifully cooked. Great service. Chef will share his method too. Can't wait to go back.

booked our group of 26 in for Sunday Lunch, food was perfect, hot, good size portions, delicious and dietary requirements we well accommodated. The team were polite, smiled and looked after us exceptionally well. A good time was had by all!! WE WILL BE BACK

Went for a birthday meal and it was absolutely fabulous. Food and service was excellent and even had a bit of banter with the chef whilst he was cooking the food. We then sat in the bar and we’re lucky enough that it was open...

This was my first time at The Horseshoe and it certainly will not be the last. I met up with friends, all the staff were friendly and very welcoming. We sat at the chef’s table, we shared a selection of small dishes each one served with a different sauce. The food was delicious, I will definitely be returning.

Beautiful pub since it's refit. Super friendly staff and a great line up of beers, can't wait for the new kitchen to open.... EDIT - The kitchen is now open and I had an absolutely fantastic dinner there this week, highly recommend basically the entire menu 😁

A really lovely relaxed evening with friends who had not been the to the Horseshoe before. A lovely warm welcome was received. We sat in the atmospheric dining room and experienced the chef’s counter. We chose a variety of small plates to share including Bao...

Beautiful food and very attentive, friendly service. Will definitely return

A meal that looked good and tasted great. The lamb with roasted vegetables was delicious. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and the service excellent.

We visited the Horseshoe on Sat night, first visit since its refurbishment. What a change the new look is fantastic and the food and service were excellent. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend a visit and the Barnsley Chop, all in our...

A lovely Sunday lunch with the family. Great modern decor. Appreciated being able to see the chefs at work. Amazing food with great attention to detail

Second Sunday lunch visit to The Horseshoe Inn... Fair to share my experience. Food is gorgeous. Was gutted previous starter of chicken parfait with brioche toast was not on, but alas not, deep fried squid with Kimchi mayo was a triumph.. followed by pork belly with cauliflower tartiflett, Yorkie, red cabbage plus plus plus... Washed down with very nice Rioja (3.. so sue me) made for a fabulous Sunday diversion. 5* from me.

Great food from a lovely pub. The food was delicious and the chef's kimchi is outstanding. Wish he sold jars of it or cooking lesson on how to make it... Hint hint 😉😁 Sorry didn't have time for photos too busy eating!!!

In this completely revamped village pub the cooking is flavourful and modern, the portions generous, the pricing spot on. The intimate (30 covers) restaurant, complete with four bar seats at the chef's table, deserves full marks for atmosphere. There are pub classics with a twist (venison burger) and dishes from the grill - everything is made on the spot and everything we tried was delicious. At £18 a harissa-soused half chicken dazzled, with sides of boulangère potatoes and nduja-spiced hispi cabbage - the porchetta was good too and the crispy sprouts...just try them. Big flavours. Wines are on point and puddings are good too. A gastro pub that for once absolutely deserves the title.

Sunday lunch for 4. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Friendly service. Before we'd finished the children were already asking when we could come back! Lovely setting too - after lunch we took the children for a short walk through the village to the local playground, which they loved. Special thanks to Chef Nick for coming up a bespoke vegan option for me. Highly recommend.

Lovely design, friendly but professional service, and a great menu, all at a very reasonable price. We sat at the chef’s counter and chefs Nick and Jack were wonderful to talk to and watch cook. Perhaps the best pub food I’ve ever had – standouts were the chicken liver parfait and plum jam toast, the pork tomahawk with café du Paris, the pan-roasted carrots, the gochujang squash, and the hispi cabbage. Cannot recommend enough, will be going out of my way to come back.

Interesting, appetising menu and a lovely atmosphere.

We were very much looking forward to our first visit to The Horseshoe since it’s refurbishment and it didn’t disappoint. Log fire, charming staff and an excellent menu. The dining room with open kitchen is lovely and our party of five tried a variety of...

We had a lovely meal at dinner time. Great atmosphere and service with lovely helpful staff. Will defo be back. 10/10

Food very good, no doubt about that, not cheap but as I say compliments to the chef. Although menu could have done with another fish fish and veggie dish. Staff were friendly, however we were in the lounge which was unheated and quite cold, definitely...

What an absolute hidden gem in Marlborough! We came here for dinner and sat at the chefs counter and I can’t recommend it enough! The staff are friendly, the food is insane and the prices are really reasonable! We can’t wait to come back again!...

First time at the Horse shoe, we were very much looking forward to our visit. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The pub was as cold as the outside temperature. We both decided to go for a popular starters, the Pate was off, tasted & smelt like “Stilton”. I had roast pork, when it arrived, I asked if the vegetables were on their way? Apparently not, 1 carrot, 1 Parsnip & something green thrown on my plate… The roast potatoes tasted old and had the consistency of a Bad Banana. Dare I go on to how we were treated when we came to pay the Bill, we went upto the Bar ourselves to pay as we couldn’t gain eye contact with anyone behind the bar. We weren’t asked if we were happy with the lunch, so unfortunately we paid and left. We won’t be returning would rather eat at Greggs.

The Horseshoe has recently undergone a complete makeover under new ownership and manages to blend a classy countryside pub vibe with an incredible top tier restaurant. The drinks selection is varied and manages to include many local beers and spirits. The friendly staff are welcoming,...

The Horseshoe has recently re-opened under new ownership and the new look & feel is just gorgeous. The bar area is trendy yet cozy and the drink selection is great, but the absolute winner for me is the food… OUT OF THIS WORLD! The crowning...

Wow, what can I say. The food was all so fresh and tasty, and I was delighted to discover, was all homemade, even the bread. For quality food, where you can taste the difference, exceptional staff and a fantastic ambience, this is the place to...

Wonderful refurbishment, Great food and excellent drink choice. We look forward to our next visit.

We had a meal out with friends and this place ticked all the boxes! Great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Highly recommended the Lamb ribs and Korean squid to start, followed by the Cote de Beouf to share 🤤👌 and the beef dripping triple cooked chips 😍. We'll be booking again soon, next time for the chef's counter 👨‍🍳

We visited the Horseshoe pub recently. Lovely food and awesome drinks selection. Will definitely be back again soon.
