The Horseshoe Inn Marcross in The Vale of Glamorgan

What an amazing lovely pub very friendly service good atmosphere fantastic food very friendly and warming pub

Decent think it's changing hands though

Such a lovely cosy pub with absolutely excellent food.

Not great, especially when you The Plough just down the road. We actually left and went there instead.

Fantastic location close to Nash Point. Somewhat frosty welcome from whom we took to be the landlady but other staff were much friendlier. Garden could do with more maintenance (dogs not allowed inside) but the food was better than expected albeit not spectacular. Butty Bach on draft which is always welcome.

Lovely pub within the hamlet of Marcross. Great place to stop and get refreshments after a coastal walk. Good pub food- if you’re after a fine dining experience then not for you. A great place to relax, mix with the locals and recharge the batteries before the journey home.

We like to try new places for food and The Horseshoes was once a thriving place, good food, good atmosphere.... I don't know what has happened, but it is no longer either of the above. The food was terrible. The lasagne was dry, (definitely not homemade) chips were overdone and the garlic bread looked like it had been heated up in the microwave. The menu needs updating as does the chef. Not somewhere I will be recommending for sure..

What could be a great pub in a lovely location is completely let down by the non existent customer service. The management are very unwelcoming and the food underwhelming.

Really good pint in a very nice beer garden

Delicious meal. Friendly cozy pub

No good, terrible steak and miserable service. Very disappointed and sadly will not be returning. What a shame won’t be returning

A great venue but the management and customer service is atrocious. Rude, obnoxious and unwelcoming. I spent an afternoon with friends there and we were made to feel very unwelcome despite spending several hundred pounds. Sad, as it’s got great potential.

It’s a lovely venue with nice clientele but the owner is abhorrent. We spent the afternoon here as a group eating and drinking; the customer service is the worst I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen more enthusiasm from a death row inmate than from the bar owner. It’s a good pub that deserves to survive but not under the current management. Do at your own peril

Lovely, quirky, warm space that with a pint or a fizzy drink and some food turns a trip to Nash Point into a save point like no other. A good place to have a break before you begin again down the road at another beach!

Wanted a lunchtime meal in a country style pub with a good selection on the menu and a nice fire. We were not disappointed. The fire was roaring , the food was just right and the welcome and service , spot on. Will definitely be back.

Very welcoming place. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent food and a good selection of drinks. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I had a very bad experience as me and my wife been there for lunch we had 2 beef dinner it was ok the carrot was cooked for a long time then we ordered dessert which they gave us something totally different and asked to change they bring another one it was worth. I don't think I will be back again

Great village pub with super ,good value food

If you want a traditional no nonsense pub with a nice simple traditional menu for food and drinks, this is your pace.

Freehouse with good selection of beer and pub fare. Hardworking staff but outdoor space, although large and grassy, is cluttered and dirty. Go, but maybe eat indoors.

Perfect place for a well kept pint and a well priced and decent meal. Lovely friendly staff and locals made me feel very at home.

I was awating bus to do a coastal walk . It was 7 am . All I can say is it looked pleasant from the outside and had a garden you can access whilst visiting

Great food and beer in a lovely traditional pub. Good prices too.

Good range of beers and a good job as it was so hot!!!

Very poor experience. Was served mouldy tomatoes and no apology or compensation was given. Staff were also rude and used bad language when clearing our table. Will definitely not be coming again.

What golden find, the lady was lovely and chatty. Food was great too and the beer garden was great for kids

No dogs allowed, no Wi-Fi, had an emergency call to take, but couldn’t get any signal anywhere. I had to connect on to a neighbours local bt Wi-Fi Lovely food and drinks of course!

Visited this pub over Platinum Jubilee weekend and booked a table for 7.30pm to allow plenty of time before food service stopped at 9pm (as advertised). Only when we were buying drinks at the bar were we told that the kitchen closed at 8pm and therefore we needed to order quickly, and our pudding too. This wasn’t a good start and felt really rushed. Beer was nice apparently and the food was ok but not great. The portions of chips were far too small and most were overcooked. The meat pie wasn’t really what we were hoping for - it was basically a casserole with a disc of puff pastry on top. A traditional double crust pie would have been so much nicer. Desserts were ok - chocolate fudge cake was warm and delicious but spotted dick rather dry. One of our party specifically requested plenty of custard but the half-filled (tiny) jug of custard that arrived was frankly pathetic. Why ask customers exactly what they’d like, promise the world and then fail. Could have been so much better. On our walk home one of the locals overheard us talking and confirmed our views that the food was poor. Apparently the menu hasn’t changed in 11 years………

Hadn't been there for years. A real pub with lots of historical interest. Quirky but welcoming. Excellent and quite extensive pub menu well-prepared. Looking forward to returning. Large beer garden.

Good old traditional pub. Nice selection of ales and good pub grub. Large beer garden

We had a lovely meal. Staff very friendly Quaint little pub,

Came across this little gem on a walk while on holiday. We decided to stay for food and my god it was heaven. I had the roast beef dinner, it was spot on and wish I lived local. All our meals was delicious and served hot. Hats of to the chef.

Called here on mother's day while in the area. Wouldn't recommend, unless you happen to be a really good cleaner. The place was filthy, cobwebs everywhere, toilets are disgusting, tiles hanging off with black mould. Also came complete with a couple of locals at the bar who's every other word began with F, Also no consideration for social distancing. On the positive side, the food did taste ok.

It was closed. I could have done with a nice pint or two after an 8-mile walk; never mind, I carried on and found the Plough & Harrow. This had a nice beer garden and a friendly atmosphere. I had a nice meal and a couple pints, it was a very pleasant experience.

Nice rural pub.. Cosy and welcome..

Great food and service. Pie was to die for. Great place yo eat after a coastal walk

Great food ! Lovely country pub situated on a coastal road in Marcross, South Wales. The food was lovely, i went for the Rib eye steak which was cooked perfectly. Definitely a pub to revisit, soon.

Visited after a windy coastal walk for good food. Well priced and good service. Not a huge space inside but the tables are well laid out.

One of the dirtiest experiences, not in a good way! Confusion regarding the bread, soggy yet hard? It felt like wet cardboard in the mouth, never would chose to consume in hell. The landlady seemed to be wildly invasive and going through some kind of breakdown, how on earth is she running an establishment? Oh, I know how, very very bad.

Lovely little countryside pub, staff were very friendly and welcoming, lovely tea, lovely food, look forward to going there again, was lovely to pop in there after a nice long walk :)

Really nice pub, lovely food, great selection of beer.

Great pub, great chat and a great pint. What more do you need?

Sleepy countryside pub that's well placed for Wales Coastal Path walkers. Big beer garden and good ales.

Average food, a couple of items that we ordered were not available. They didn't have a children menu.

Love this place, been going there for many years...always welcoming and perfect food too!

Great service and great grub.....and they were happy to cook an extra sausage for the pooch......who was extremely grateful!

This was the most friendly, local pub I've ever been in, staff & other patrons alike! Thank you so much.

Very good food get wed at Nash point Aug the 18 then back to the Horseshoe for our food

Beautiful country pub. Food was lovely xx

Beautiful food, lovely, friendly staff.. Lovely pub aswell 😁

Lunch was workmanlike. You can’t go wrong with scampi. Burger could have been better and fell apart. The golden ale tasted iffy.

Nice pint friendly staff nice little spot

Restricted menu on offer, but good selection none the less. Nice setting in the countryside. Good prices and beer, great service. Still take cash.

Outstanding food. Top quality service

Great service quality food fast timing and tasty . We had a wonderful beef Sunday lunch highly recommend fabulous gravy and cheesecake was also lovely.

Cute pub, friendly staff and very tasty, fresh food. Perfect after a day by the beach.

Great garden with a huge fire pit

A lovely village pub with a nice pub garden food nice

Good pub and food and PPE/Social distancing excellent.

We call in to the Shoes when ever we can. Great pup that serves great Beer and great food, We always have a warm welcome and the staff are always nice. Lovely big Beer garden for children and dogs are welcome in the Beer garden.

We went at the weekend and were suprised to find -a soon as we walked in -a group of 6 or 7 lads together . They soon left and we sat at a table we're another group of 6 young people are allowed to sit together ! They frequently went up to the bar- not wearing masks. The menus were plastic coated but not once did I see them wiped over or cleaned, as customers left , the tables were wiped down only with a cloth , I did not see any anti-virus spray being used to clean the tables thoroughly or to clean the menus . There was a sign to say say about track and trace but we did not see it anywhere and were not asked to leave any of our details. The food is nice there, which is why we went, but won't go again until the virus is under control.

Love the Shoes, we are regular customers and always enjoy a slap up meal!

Great lunchtime meal and friendly staff, will be going again,

This pub was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed so much we went back again. Staff and customer service was excellent. The menu offered a nice variety, and the quality was excellent. Our food was delicious & the portions were plentiful. Due to weather, we were unable to take advantage of the beautiful pub garden, but look forward to it on future visits. Definitely felt at ease as great attention was paid to covid regulations. Spacious car park. Highly recommended!

Having eaten here a lot over the last few years, we were incredibly disappointed. You know it's going to end badly when you over hear the chef say to the waitress with your order that he will do it 'depending on what it is'. Chef ...sorry cook...dressed in jeans and tshirt as was waiting staff...leggings and a hoodie. Just ordered a sharing combo....and as if punishment for ordering fried food it truly was terrible.Sharing platter yet only 1 bries, 1 pepper and 1 pakora with the bulk made up of low cost wedges and onion rings. It's a sharing platter...at least give 2 of everything!Waitress didn't seem to get our issues just saying 'that's the portion'. Cook sent out another go....yet again 1 brie, 1 pepper, 1 pakora! I've managed pubs and I'd have sent several of each if I'd have had this complaint £11.95 total RIP off. 1230 on a Sunday and place was empty and I'm not surprised.Sadly another place we uses to love that has gone to the dogs

A quick stop while exploring the coast. The large beer garden is ideal for social distancing, scattered tables under gazebos and dog friendly. It has the largest fire-pit I've ever seen which I assume is used in the evenings to keep the customers warm.It's a nice old country pub. Great ale. Good coffee. We shared a ploughman's baguette which was very good value and served with the most amazing ?triple cooked? chips.The only thing that needs work; a slightly sullen young lad who is waiting could do with some additional training.Our decision to eat at this establishment was informed by the displayed food hygiene rating of 4/5 (Good).

Delicious Sunday lunch at a lovely location

My partner and a friend walked from Llantwit Major to the lighthouse last weekend and after a couple of hours of wandering we decided we wanted some food and found this beauty on google maps. We had no idea if it was serving food or even open given the current climate, but we were so glad it was! Great choice of food and some nice welsh beers on tap. I had the lasagne (highly recommend) and the other two had the steak and ale pie (full to the brim with tender meat). Definitely will return here when walking around the area again.

So good we went back for dinner the next day.Me and my girlfriend came across this place and it felt exactly what I wanted..a nice warm comfortable quiet atmosphere very welcoming..Great price for food 😋 and honestly a great variety on the menu.we will definitely return.thank you THE HORSE SHOE INN 😀X

Great local ales,excellent food and friendly staff.

Nice food, beer and friendly staff.

This place should be fabulous. Cosy inside, really good beer garden. BUT beer choice is limited and worse, I never feel welcome in there, staff are sullen and give the impression they're doing you a favour to serve you. The food looks good but I've never eaten there so can't say much.

Good beer choice and standard pub grub in friendly country pun handy for Heritage Coast. Well organised for Covid restrictions.

Stopped here for a drink after a walk along the coast at Nash point...... A great selection of drinks and food smelt great... Will have to return to sample the menu...... So we returned re ently just after the lockdown restrictions were eased... The pub was well set up and we stayed for food this time... unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations so would re ommend for a place to stop off for a refreshing drink but don't go out of your way for food here

Food ok bit pricey though (I thought)

sorry to say that we booked a table at The Horseshoe inn for our anniversary, the staff were lovely but the starters and the main courrses were awful and were like burnt offerings of cheap food that you can buy from iceland. we wont be visiting again as its the worst pub food we have experienced in years, not what we expected after reading 4.4 star reviews before booking.

Despite the current situation, Tina and Guy are cooking and delivering takeaways twice a week. Food is delicious, hot and delivered to the door. Thank you

Lovely country pub. Log fire. Excellent food and large menu. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Cosy pub with real fires. We stopped for Sunday lunch after a costal walk. The food was cooked beautifully, we had the beef which just fell apart. Served with veg and home made Yorkshire's on the side. Will visit again when we are in the area.

Lovely country pub for a pint after a coastal walk.

Lovely pub with log burning stove very welcoming, good home cooked food and real ales available. Ideally located a short walk from Nash lighthouse and coastal path walks.

Awww this place makes my mouth water just thinking about it only down fall about the place is no signal on any network not the restaurants fault tho. The food is always perfect and a friendly environment. Walking in to this place in the winter is Amazing the big open fire place is blazing with logs, every time i walk in here i feel like Jack the ripper. Cos I'm about to murder a meal every time.

Lovely country pub,great food and good sized portions

Having a table for 7 people available to be booked at 15:30 on a Saturday for 18:30 the same evening should have started the warning bells.No atmosphere or background music. Had to go to bar to order drinks and food.Mediocre food arrived. Requested French Mustard as an accompaniment to the steak but was told they didnt have any. Peas were cold.Went to the bar to pay the bill only to be told they dont accept payment by credit card, only cash or debit card. I should have been informed of this on arrival.On leaving the pub the car park at the far end is very dark and could do with some lighting.Unfortunately wont be returning.

We live three miles away and this is our 1st choice for decent pub grub. We are about to go there again this evening. My wife is vegetarian (I'm normal, ha ha). We are fortunate to be spoilt for choice throughout the Vale, with several very nice gastropubs to choose from. We genuinely enjoy The Horseshoe. We've been going there for years and have never had a bad meal, we also take many of our friends there who live further afield. It's warm and cosy and has a welcoming ambience. I've read one or two dissatisfied reviews but I remain convinced these were posted by professional complainers. You can't please everyone all the time.

Durchschnittlich gutes Essen. Nettes Pub gutes Bier.

Good beer, great beef dinner and lovely service

Lovely country pub. Friendly staff, good grub, sunny beer garden!

Warm welcome from the proprietors on our arrival. Had a lovely meal in cosy surroundings. Thank you.

Probably the most unfriendliest pub I have been to. The service was diabolical with rude untrained staff. My food was brought to the table and all the chips fell off the plate onto the table which by the way was not even cleaned after the last customers. The waiter just walked away and left my food all over the table with no apology. I asked him to get more chips. He then with his hands picked up the chips and put them on my plate expecting me to eat them. I could not believe it. I then asked him to get clean chips. He walked away and was back within seconds with I assume the same chips. No apology. No table manners. Absolutely shocking.

Lovely staff great atmosphere with big beer garden and nice welsh ales

Location and feel of pub is great, although it could do with some redecoration. Food however, wow....its been a while since Ive had food that bad in a pub. I had the peppercorn chicken, sauce was greasy and the chicken dry. My wife had a sweet potato bake which was just mush. Chips greasy, even the ketchup was a happy shopper special and tasted awful...I wouldnt of minded too much if it wasnt 13 quid for a main!! Such a shame that a pub in a great location like that has such poor food! Would never eat there again, but would return for a pint!

We have been regular holiday makers to Marcross since 2004 and have meals regularly at the The Horseshoe during the week. We have always had such a warm welcome, lovely meals and a great time with friends and family.

The portions were SMALL and the food was over microwaved and overpriced!!! Plus the bar staff could all do with a bath. Incredibly disappointing .... will NEVER return

Wonderful. Lovely meal. Fresh. Hot. Good servis. Nice atmosphere. ,4th time. Going for lunch here.

The lunch was very nice, the food freshly cooked and well presented. The pub has a reasonable amount of parking though I would guess it can get full at popular times. Both our meals were nice and the right size for a lunch. One downer was the coffee, it was instant.

Essen gut, Bierauswahl ebenso, Toilette eher Britisch.

Food always lovely, great location and very friendly staff.

On holiday in the area so my wife and i went out to find somewhere to have lunch. The Horseshoe inn looked very busy and inviting. We had a lovely lunch with a good pint. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Lovely old pub,will visit when down next.
