Lovely setting. Very clean. Food was tasty although I thought it was a little over priced. Half a very small chicken and some chips with 2 dips 18.95. Service was a little slow considering there were only 4 tables occupied. The staff were very friendly

We have always loved coming to the horseshoes Unfortunately we have felt very rushed this afternoon We were even approached to pay the bill before we had actually received it! We wouldn’t have minded if it was busy but it most certainly wasn’t,”. We had expected a lovely relaxing time but this was definitely NOT the case Unfortunately we will not be returning due to this experience

Second time here and fantastic. Pub looks good, clean and well managed. From the moment we entered we were met with great service from Kat. She was pleasant, helpful and funny throughout the meal, especially about the mushrooms. Food, great choice including veg and vegan. Presented well and tasted gorgeous. We ended up having a 3 course it was so nice. Cost of the meal was reasonable. We wasn't rushed or felt uncomfortable in any way. Very fast becoming my favourite restaurant.

Food was really delicious, lovely atmosphere and decorated nicely inside. We sat inside on this occasion but outside looked really nice too if the sun shines. I was vegetarian and there were some good options, not just a second thought. We did have a slight mishap with the dessert, the melting chocolate bomb (which I overall wouldn’t recommend), it happens, but the staff were super accommodating and quickly corrected any mistakes so no harm done! Would recommend for a lovely meal.

Had a lovely meal here one evening in August. Lovely atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. Fantastic food and at reasonable prices. Lots of choice and the steak and Malbec pie was particularly good. The starter of breads and dips was enough for 3 of us and was very tasty. Lots of outdoor seating although we sat in the restaurant for our meal. Plenty of car parking spaces. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Unfortunately the food really let this place down. The fish, which is advertised as fresh, was frozen. It was tasteless and bland, even the batter didn't crunch. I had the roast, which, the gravy should have come in a jug on the side, as its not to everyone's taste, including mine, so my dinner was ruined. The roast potatoes tasted like they had been deep fried rather than roasted. The pork was dry and overcooked. My daughter had the duck noodles, the duck was so overcooked that it actually cut my daughters gum. The waitress sorted out my daughters food, by taking it off the bill, but could only apologise profusely for the fish. Will not be back. The only plus was the starters, my scallops were cooked to perfection.

Tonight we celebrated a 30th Wedding Anniversary at the Horseshoes. We booked a table for 30 people. We had our own area of the restaurant all nicely set up on our arrival. We were welcomed by Autumn who introduced herself as our waitress for the evening. Autumn was absolutely fantastic all evening. Nothing was too much trouble and she constantly asked us if we had everything we needed and if she could do anything else for us. We couldn’t have asked for better service so we’re very grateful to Autumn for being so wonderful. The food was incredible. It came out really promptly, was hot and tasted delicious. We’re so impressed with the food and service we received, especially considering how large our table was. Thank you to Autumn and everyone at the Horseshoes for making our celebration so special. We’ll definitely be back again soon.

I went to the horseshoes this evening and can honestly say my wife and I had the best time there. We walked into the restaurant and was greeted by a member of staff called, Autumn. She was very attentive and throughout our meal at the horseshoes, she seemed to be non stop helping other customers, but always made an effort to come over and check if everything was okay, which it was. Autumn even made an effort with our 2 year old son who was being very cheeky! All in all, I would say that if you’re looking for a friendly pub with a great atmosphere along with amazing food but for a great price, look no further! The horseshoes is the place for you!

A very pleasant country pub with comfortable seating in both the large restaurant and in the pub section. There is also plenty of seating outside and a good sized free car park. The menu is mainly English fare, fish and chips, various burgers but also meals with vegetables and potatoes. The food is mid priced eg. Fish and chips is around £17. I received good service from the waiting staff and my food came up in good time. I didn't feel rushed at all and after my meal I sat in the bar area for a coffee where there were some nice comfortable soft chairs. There are good options for vegetarians here. There is a weekday set menu offering 2 or 3 courses and there are some daily specials.

Country pub with a large restaurant area with a more upmarket feel than other pubs in the Mitchell & Butler group. Also has a bar area with comfortable seating plus plenty of room outside in the garden. There is also a fair sized car park which is free to use. Food is mainly English fare and there are options with vegetables and potatoes rather than fries. Food is mid priced eg. Fish & chips at around £17.

Her knowledge of the drink menu is exceptional, and she offered fantastic recommendations that perfectly suited my taste. Despite the bar being busy, Jess was attentive and efficient, ensuring that every customer felt valued. Her skill in mixing drinks is outstanding, and her passion for her job shines through in every interaction. Jess truly enhances the pub experience, and I look forward to my next visit!

Good was amazing but the service was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Only got offered one drink, even then my empty glasses sat on the table for the whole of the meal. We asked for some water before the mains came out and it never materialised. Received the bill and then waited for 20 minutes for someone to bring a card machine over. I will not be coming back due to the very poor service.

Went last night for our anniversary for the first time after a few recommendations. A litte on the pricer side but honestly the food and service could not be faulted. I work in hospitality too and an ex chef so usually it's very hard to get it right but they all did outstandingly! We was running a little late (childcare issues) but they still got us in and seated in a lovely intimate spot in the restaurant. Perfect service and honesty the cheese doughnuts was to die for! I'll be returning just for those 🤤 considering they was busy too the food came out in a very reasonable time frame aswell. Same with the drinks. The cuban mai tai's I was made was absolutely delicious! All in all a perfect evening which doesn't get to happen very often with kids as we have to go to kid friendly restaurants but as we was celebrating we thought we would try the horseshoes and honestly I will be returning and recommending! Well done both FOH and BOH!

First time visitor on 19th March after a recommendation,. The surrounds are outstanding, great decor and settings. Its a bit dark in the restaurant area and not busy enough to create any atmosphere. Unfortunately not a great meal. Starter of squid was nice but with no proper dip it was very dry which made it hard to eat. I left half. Main course Fish and Chips was even bigger disappointment. Batter so hard we both struggled to cut into it and fish inside dry, no nice white flakes, so over cooked. It reminded me of how fish comes out of the air fryer. Had garden peas and they were mixture of soft hard. I couldn't make out the chips at all. Looked strange, dark and light mixture of colour and no taste. Waitress brought us dessert menu and then never came back. Had to go and chase for bill when we ran out of time. So disappointed.
