The Horseshoes in West Oxfordshire

Genuinely one of the best meals out I’ve had in ages. Excellent food, service and a buzzing atmosphere. Loads of veggie options. We shared sourdough and hummus to start, generous portion and plenty for the two of us. The pie filling changed before we’d had a chance to order but the steak, ale and Stilton pie with chips and veg was outstanding. My friend had the cauliflower fritters with dahl. Delicious. Everything was piping hot, straight from the kitchen. Our server Jess was fantastic. It was a busy Saturday night and we were so impressed with every aspect of the meal. Lovely wine options. And very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to come back with a larger group. Keep it up team!

Visited for dinner, pub was quite busy, staff were very friendly and welcoming. the table was in a smallish corridor type room and the locals kept walking through it, out and in the whole time also there was no separation between the sitting area behind which was full of loud and quite drunken men who kept burping, swearing and speaking so loudly that I couldn’t hear our conversation and being honest we just wanted to leave as soon as we ate the meal and not stay for pudding because it was very off putting. The food was okay, was quite disappointed really on the quality and over all taste. We did not get a steak knife nor any cutlery so we had to take some of the empty table behind us.

I was fairly disappointed with food served and the portions were less than generous. The choice of drinks was good as was the service.

This was the second time that I have been here this year and on both occasions (for Sunday lunch) the food and service were excellent. The price is very reasonable as well. The whole place has a very comforting and welcoming feel. Well done team!

Great spot for lunch. Chicken tikka sandwich was enormous, and the cheese and ham toastie was generously filled. Lunch was only marred by a couple complaining that the menu had changed and did not include what they had come in for. For clarity, this is stated on the website, as it's a seasonal menu. The full current menu is also posted by the front door, and there's plenty to choose from. But, this was all handled so well by the wait staff and manager, with patience and understanding. Lovely staff, genuinely dog friendly pub, and a nice pint. We'll see you again when we're next in Witney!

Service no existent. Got there at 2pm. Still waiting for starters at 3pm. Staff not helpful at all.

Quintessential English pub right in the heart of the market town of Witney.

Super pub playing great music provided by truly excellent staff, but most importantly the food, absolutely perfect, well prepared and cooked. Lots of fun and wonderful reception Thank you Roger Bath Somerset.

Just been for dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night, it’s the first time I’ve been since it changed hands and it did not disappoint. It was busy and atmospheric for a Tuesday. We had 3 courses and each meal was delicious. Everything was so reasonably priced and the service was top notch. Well done to the Team, we will definitely be back!

Food excellent, customer service excellent, went above and beyond. Great value. The only thing that we were a bit disappointed with is that we asked for a little extra gravy, which we got in a very small jug. Didn’t expect to be charged extra for this on the bill!! We think it’s a little mean.

Loved Sunday lunch! Busy & bustling pub. Friendly & welcoming. For a drink or light lunch great too !! Will be back !

Very friendly and value for money

lovely welcome. accommodated us at short notice for Sunday lunch, despite being packed. food great, service great, atmosphere lively.

I booked for a party of 18 last Sunday. When we arrived they had squeezed us onto tables so small that we only managed because one person was unwell (so didn’t turn up) and after we asked them to bring another chair to put on the end of the table as there was just no way six of us would fit into the space provided. As they serve Sunday lunch on a Sunday we did not pre-order. To save the challenge of sorting the bill I asked if they would take orders for families. We were told no, as food would come out per bill, instead we were advised to order by each table (we had two). I told them this would not work as families were split across two tables. As I wanted us all served together, I said “never mind, just bill as one and I will sort.” As we ordered the waiter told me that one table had not ordered starters. I said okay just please serve mains together. Well of course they ignored my instructions. They served the starter, cleared it way, and after a quite long wait served the table without starters their main. They did not serve the second table their mains until at least ten minutes after the first table had finished their main, despite several prompts from me and a small disagreement with the waiter who insisted he had told me that he would not serve us as one party, despite booking as one! We insisted they bring deserts to us all at the same time. We waited so long for these that the two children on the first table were getting so distressed that we had to ask that they at least bring their deserts. Total disaster. We usually mix family members at each course. One person had driven from Birmingham for a 12:30 meal. In the end he left at 3:30 (as soon as we’d finished) without being to speak to many of us. If you are booking for a larger group I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was actually very nice, although the vegetables served to the second table were barely warm. I think the meals had been standing for several minutes. The waiter apologised and told me the manager would come to speak to me He chose not to.

We arrived with a lovely welcome and very accommodating staff. Food was great, well priced and delicious. We picked this venue for our Christmas dinner because it was the only place in town for an evening meal that didn't make you have a set menu, aan innflated set price or pre order on small groups! A major plus for me! They had a full on busy service but nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. When we needed to move from the restaurant for their second sitting, Tommy found us a great spot in The Corridor seating area where we were able to continue our evening, giving us table service for our drinks. Keep up what you're doing at The Horseshoes, it's working great!

First year of having a Christmas Dinner here. Went along with my brother and we weren't disappointed. The starters were lovely and the turkey meal excellent. Such a friendly atmosphere and everyone was so welcoming. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

First visit with friends since the change of management. Great welcome on a very wet Sunday, but a lovely log burner in the bar area. Although very busy, the service was excellent given with a friendly smile. Three of us had the beef and one the turkey, all cooked to perfection, all in all an excellent experience. Just a small thing and not a complaint, our table was at the front adjacent to the bar area, which was a little noisy, maybe the side dining areas are a little quieter for conversation? Our friends enjoyed the visit and so did we.

Had a lovely lunch today with three good friends. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

Superb service by really lovely friendly people. Lovely tasty food and nice vino. A definite place we'll return to, often. Thank you for the experience.

Great owners, good bar staff, good vibe and the beer tastes crisp and clean.

The best pub in Witney, Excellent staff, atmosphere and decor. Good price for drinks and food. We had the lamb chops and a brilliant burger. Thanks to Tommy and the team for the whole evening. Will definitely be returning.

Great service, great food, and great vibes

A really friendly pub, great staff and an interesting menu. The service was great with the staff being very informative and helpful. All of us enjoyed our meals, our vegetarian friend really liked her pumpkin risotto and I was impressed by the fresh horseradish The added bonus sauce (and I grow my own horseradish!) which accompanied the very tasty slow cooked shin beef. The added bonus was the pub was directly opposite to where we were staying.

We were staying in Witney for one night and I liked the reviews for this Pub online. I had booked a table for my wife, myself and my 89 year old Mum on the Thursday evening and we were not let down. Very friendly staff from the start to finish with service and superb food. I would heavily recommend their pies and the banana fritters. Very popular pub too but deservedly so.

Lovely food, excellent customer service

A group of us had a wonderful evening at this lovely Pub. We felt so welcomed, the food from a very good menu was beautifully cooked, and the service was great. I couldn't fault it and can highly recommend it!

We had a Sunday roast overall a decent roast, however the portions were a little off with the veg. A bit disappointed to only receive 2 roast potatoes, one carrot, a very small leaf of kale, and one very small bit of brocoli. It did, however, come with cauliflower cheese. Everything tasted lovley but just wasn't very filling.

What a great place! Friendly staff, attentive service, lovely food with extensive menu. We were a larger party and arrived a little early for our table, but no probem, we sat in the rear courtyard until it was ready. A great atmosphere, busy place and no wonder with the food being very good. Fully recommend this place.

I have had several meals here that have all been amazing but I organised a meal for my partner's 40th and I couldn't fault anything! The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was lovely, the atmosphere was great. All our family/friends really enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend for any occasion and the roasts are top notch! Thank you Tommy & Team x

What an amazing pub. Great food, good beer & excellent staff.Gerrard is an outstanding member of the team. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.

Great food, great service, great vibe 😊

First time back having a meal in the 3 horse shoes for years, it was our go place but when I had to start using Google translate to understand the menu we stopped going.😁 But I'm so glad we went back, it's now how we liked it and what a lovely place to eat. The food is amazing, atmosphere was spot on, and the staff have it right, not in your face but there when you need them . A very enjoyable evening out. Thanks to all at the shoes. 👌

Walked past this place and very much got the wrong impression from the exterior. The Beavertown banners and parasols outside don’t do the place justice, we went in just for a drink (Beavertown actually so the ads worked!) and stayed to eat. Very impressed with the service and the food. Would definitely recommend!

This is an excellent place to eat out. The food was excellent, the staff courteous and professional and the drinks reasonably priced. Very good atmosphere as the place was busy. Will definitely be returning.

Visited here for a Saturday night meal. The greeting was lovely , nice atmosphere and a great buzz. The food I can't fault , I had the fish and chips my only change would of been mushy peas instead of garden peas but that's personal preference 😉. The waitress I could tell she was new , she didn't ask my husband how he liked his steak we had too chase her back , we were offered no further drinks than the one we got when seated . Within 20 seconds of receiving food we were asked how it was , barely had chance to have a mouth full , maybe a bit more time too get into the meal. I don't know his name but the guy with blonde curly hair is a credit too the place , great customer service by him made us feel welcome ☺️

We booked a very late table, so were not expecting much. What we did get was a very nice surprise. The service was friendly, and we did not feel rushed even though we were seated at 21:20 (our choice). The food (I had a home...

Nice pub, good atmosphere, now doing excellent jazz sessions monthly. Worth a visit.

5 of us ate Sunday Lunch. We between us we had the beef and also the veggie Wellington. All really nice, including a selection of starters and desserts.

Haven't eaten here yet but good to see it's busy again and serving fab wine selection and reasonably priced at last! Great bar service and lovely garden with outside bar... Sadly not open when we visited. Really nice atmosphere now.

Lovely atmosphere and great food.

Good food and gluten free options plus dogs are welcome….

Exceptional front of house in the dining area. I ordered the grilled salmon with new jersey royals and pickled cucumber salad. Simple but stunning! Thanks go out to the dark haired young woman waiting the tables and whoever cooked my dinner! Great work guys. Also...

Haven't been in for a while found atmosphere and staff so welcoming and friendly. Didn't have food but definitely going to next time.

This is the 2nd time we’ve eaten here since the new owners took over and we weren’t disappointed. Excellent food and service and a good selection of drinks. The staff were helpful and knowledgable about the menu. Ham hock, butter bean and cider pie, aubergine...

Great spot to sit in the sun with a pint and chat with friendly pub goers. Love the vibe here. Suffers from overpriced menu, as all Oxfordshire pubs do. The burgers look very high end but the taste and meat quality was average. HOWEVER, I hear they may have updated their menu so worth another go.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch on their new system, however when we arrived they had no record of our booking and stated that they could not accommodate us. I therefore cannot comment on the venue and may not return.....

I’ve always loved this pub but since the new owners took over, it’s gone from strength to strength! The staff are superb, the steaks are amazing and all in all, it’s a local pub looking out for the community!! If you haven’t been, you need...

Terrific food, drink and amazing service. Possibly the friendliest pub in the world.

What an excellent meal, and congratulations to the team at The Three Horseshoes, who clearly know what they are doing! We decided to go on the strength of previous good reviews, which proved to be justified. We can recommend the salmon (tasty fish, delicious perfectly...

Great dog friendly pub in witney with simple but tasty food and great gin selection

Good honest food and great service

So good to see this pub up and running in a friendly atmosphere. Our food was fantastic. Really friendly and attentive staff. We spoke to the new owners Michael and Tommy, the friendly atmosphere they wanted is certainly working. Definitely pay this place a visit.

Been meaning to try this place since it was recently taken over. It was quite busy so it was a good job we booked a table for 4. They have a good selection of drinks and quite a good menu. The food and service was excellent and quite reasonably priced. We had haddock and chips, a burger, pie and rocket and balsamic tart. It came out quickly and was well presented thank you for a lovely evening.

6 of us had an excellent meal at The Three Horseshoes. I had a very tasty Chicken, Chorizo & Olive Pie. Others had the Asparagus, Feta, Rocket & Chimiccurri Risotto & were not disappointed. Service was friendly & Real Ale at £4.00 a pint. A...

Worth a visit best burger I’ve had in a long time, pie was great too, great service and a friendly manger Tommy, who we had a great convo with, I wish you good luck in this venture and if it continues, I know you won’t disappoint the town 😊😊😊. Great service from the team too, so please send my thanks to chefs and bar :)

Lovely place to have something to eat and drink, very friendly staff

Great food, great prices, with the best hospitality possible. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly

Sunday roast, top service, still a lovely atmosphere....the gravy needed a little thickening, was tasty though

Popped in for lunch on spec today. Fantastic veggie Wellington with crisp spuds, perfectly cooked veg and a huge Yorkshire. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Nice experience, nice staff and a lovely old pub.

Great meal, great service, relaxed and efficient staff, risotto was delicious

Lovely pub, great setting, great food and beer selection

We were made to feel welcome the moment we arrived. Food was amazing, seasoned to perfection. I would highly recommend. Sensational value for money.

We had a large group dinner and the staff were great. Food came out together and hot. The new owners had made some lovely changes and the vibe of the place was really inviting. Food was delicious and a great price.

Most miserable bar staff I have encountered on a long time.

A very good experience with delicious perfectly cooked salmon and friendly attentive staff. Met the new owners coincidentally. A little cramped inside, typical old English pub. Would go again.

We were in Witney for a weekend and after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor we decided to book a table . From the warm welcome by the landlady, to the fabulous food , we had a great night in a lovely traditional pub The menu...

This establishment is an absolute must for those who are in Witney. The staff are amazing as is the food. Superb!

Great Sunday lunch. They cater well for kids. Really nice pub

Only last spring, The Horseshoes was named Oxfordshire pub of the year in the National Pub & Bar Awards, but along with its sister pub, The Hollybush, has been closed for much of winter as the owners moved on. The good news is that it...

Went here to try out their lunch offering. We chose the garlic mushrooms on sourdough which was listed as a starter and had intended having a pudding afterwards. We were expecting juicy garlicky mushrooms on warm toasted sourdough, what we received was stale untoasted cold...

Having stayed in Fyfield and been to the White Hart, I was on the hunt for a vegetarian Sunday roast. Typically really hard to find in a farming area! The Three Horsehoes was highly recommended so we gave it a shot. The only negative was...

Visited last night and it was lovely to be in a busy, popular pub. Very friendly and excellent burgers. 👌

The new ownership does not disappoint! What a fantastic meal on the Easter Saturday. Roast tomato tartlet, asparagus risotto (heavenly, and I don’t usually go for risottos), and sublime dark chocolate and hazelnut delice. The other half really enjoyed his pork and black pudding sausage roll and house burger. Service with a smile, lovely buzzy atmosphere and the bill a fraction of the price it used to cost to eat here. Absolutely faultless and my new favourite place in Witney. I can’t wait to go back!

Came here out of the blue today for lunch whilst visiting the area. I rarely leave reviews, but the welcome, service, and quality of the food were excellent. They looked after us and our dog brilliantly. I would highly recommend it.

Hubby & I had a fab dinner here in the first weekend that the pub reopened for dinner. We were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, delicious food & excellent service. So happy our local is back in business.

Outstanding meal, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Braved a meal our with 4 children and was perfect! Thank you!!

Had a lovely Mothers Day lunch with family. There were 6 of us and it was great… roast beef, a bit pink as requested, proper Yorkshire Puds, roast potatoes and fresh veggies.. then sticky toffee pudding.. lovely! The staff were busy, courteous and efficient… thanks...

Eaten here 4 times over the last 2 months and each time it’s been fantastic! Lunch, dinner and Sunday roast, all cracking! Excellent food and excellent service.

We decided to make a reservation for Sunday Roast whilst visiting Witney. The service was excellent and the food superb. Plus they are dog friendly which gives them added bonus points! Loved it and would certainly return.

First time in here. Took a chance to get a table for Sunday Lunch. Firstly, very decent pint of Guinness. 5 star Roast Beef lunch. Top class Yorkshire pudding. Staff very polite and slick. Definitely worth a visit.

Incredibly welcoming, staff were very friendly, food was delicious and very reasonable. Lovely atmosphere, enjoyed it so much we sat in the bar after our meal to continue such a pleasant evening. We will definitely return it was first class!

Cracking Sunday dinner with great wine and beer choices, great pub with friendly and attentive staff

Our favourite place to go to for lunch in Witney! It’s such a lovely, warm & cosy setting. The view from the window by the entrance is wonderful with the beginnings of Autumn and beautiful shops/houses across the road. The service is 5 star from start to finish. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and are always willing to do more for you. The food is excellent. Flat iron steak is amazing and I also love the fish and chips. Best ever! Desserts are also sublime. Especially the sticky toffee pudding. Will be back again and again! I just love the vibe here and can’t wait for our next visit.

Amazing food and service. Incredibly accomodating when we arrived with a dog and a baby and made us feel very welcome, even when I accidentally knocked over the dog bowl, full of water! We really enjoyed our meal and left feeling relaxed. Would 100% recommend

Has been the best place to eat and drink in Witney Town for many years now. Very welcoming with nice surroundings friendly staff and good food.

The best roast ever!! We love coming here for a roast beef, there is no other like it. Staff are always so welcoming also 🥰💗
