The Three Horseshoes in Waverley

Nice drink on an afternoon walk.

Really glad we made our walkers lunch stop at this traditional pub in the pretty village of Thursley. Friendly, professional & welcoming staff. Real ale was well kept. Homemade sandwiches were tasty. Competitive prices. Live music on a Saturday afternoon was a real bonus! Would definitely visit here again.

Our first visit to the Three Horseshoes and it definitely won’t be our last. Cozy, traditional country pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and open log fires. Genuinely friendly staff, Surrey Hills ales and delicious food (Steak & Guinness pie, mashed potatoes and veggies). Absolutely nothing not to like!

Genuinely friendly service, delicious, hearty food and great Surrey Hills ale. Cozy, traditional country pub with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and open, log fires. Absolutely nothing not to like.

Our new local. A traditional pub without the gastro-nonsense. Real ale, real people, really will be back.

Great roast, but not allowed to eat it indoors. We turned up up when the pub was mostly empty, but were not allowed to eat inside because every table was reserved. The food came quickly and we were ushered outside into the wind. The food was great, the staff were friendly. But it's hard to enjoy food in a gale, especially when you can see the pub is empty. We assumed customers were about to fill up the tables, but after an hours walk, there was still one spare. Ridiculous

Set up a few times at this venue , very friendly staff with no issues at all highly recommend

Fantastic country pub that features excellent food, all very reasonably priced, and very friendly staff. We had the meat platter, pizza and whitebait.

Pretty solid rural pub. Burger and fish and chips as a standard order were better than average but £9.50 for 3 near identical bread rolls is inexcusable. They appeared freshly baked, but still no way on Earth you can justify that price.

Headed there on a Wednesday evening enjoyed an amazing pizza extremely tasty really nice great stuff great little Hidden pub

Fabulous roast dinner! Crispy beef salad is amazing too!

Just a really lovely traditional country pub a must for dog people and food is fab landlady such a friendly funny sociable lady. This country lacks pubs like this as all home cooked food no pinging involved such a joy.

Twice in the last three months we have called into this pub for food and drink whilst out walking. Twice we have been met with cold, arrogant and rude staff causing us to walk away. First time thought maybe a ‘one off’. Always willing to give people a chance so went back again. Same treatment, this time before we’d even set foot inside. What looked like the chef (in chef whites) outside unloading a van. (Was he later going to cook in these ‘whites’?) The off hand manner when we enquired what time they open, and if we could get food, was enough to make us walk away a second time. Won’t be back.

Lovely village pub little bit pricey when you look at the menu but portions are great drinks especially soft drinks but pricey ....but such a lovely location beautiful garden tasty food definitely going back...

Service was excellent, however the waiting time for my main meal to be served (grilled halloumi with salad) was way too long for my liking.

Very clean and comfortable, pleasant staff. Shame about the dogs allowed inside when food being served.

Nice food but poor service, staff too busy chatting and not looking after diners.

Lovely local pub, saved by, owned by and run by locals.

Website looks great but not reflective of the pub or the food. Gravy was so potent and everything was swimming. My pork was ok but a little tough. Everyone was super-nice, but some slowness to service.

Had an event there and the food was good and the event went well. Nice portions.

We only stopped off for a snackie bite half way through our hike but found it to be a lovely modern character dog friendly country pub. Food was excellent and all ingredients were very fresh. Staff were smart polite and professional. Highly recommended.

Excellent place to eat, staff friendly. Important to book.

Lovely little pub with a beautiful garden and kids play area. Small but good beer and wine selection. Burgers and steak sandwich were good but Halloumi salad was very basic for the price. Key lime pie was very nice. Service was a bit minimal but fine.

Delicious food in a charming ancient house our outside in the garden. Welcoming staff.

We came in for dinner this evening, but the greeting and service from the three young ladies on duty meant we decided to take our Saturday evening and money elsewhere. With the right staff who can muster a polite hello, smile or some level of service, it could be a good place. Staff like this loose money for the punter and the business.

It tasted as good as it looked.

Had quick drink mid walk. Garden at back has ample tables.

Camembert to share followed by a delicious salmon with crushed potatoes. Great service and warm atmosphere.

We have just had the best Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day, Welcoming, lovely staff and the best food. We will be back soon thank you 😊

Parking is a little tricky but once you're in it's a nice pub.

What a delicious Sunday Roast. I was debating whether or not to have Roast Beef but the delightful waitress assured me it was the best. I was not disappointed - it was perfect. I couldn't eat it all but loved every morsel I had. A super cosy pub with welcoming staff. Perfect after a long muddy walk. Thanks. We will be back.

Great for a post walk / ride drink, or sitting in the lovely garden

Excellant, pub, friendly staff. Dog friendly, clean, large portion size

Cozy pub with fireplace. It also has an outdoor space with fireplace which is a good alternative to staying inside the pub. Its a bit busy i guess it must be popular. Great Mocaccino. The burguers looked great.

Perhaps we were unlucky but we had to wait two hours between sitting down for lunch and getting our main course. Pretty much every order (food, drinks, desert) had something missing that we had to chase and wait for. We had to go to the bar and collect our own drinks having seen them poured (eventually) and then sat on the bar for too long. Food good and service friendly - we got a discount on the bill but not sure it’s enough to make me return.

When we previously went for lunch , in late 2023, it was great. This time not at all. The meat pie was dry and overcooked, and the hamburger had so much sauce on it it didnt last the first pickup. Service , and welcome, however was as good as always

Just had a drink outside was very nice so no real review, will be going back to sample food and service for sure

4th visit from us, just brilliant Easy to park, opened the front door for my wife and we were both welcomed with a smile from the amazing landlady. This lady from our first visit with our elderly dog who has now passed away to today's visit goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. My returning visits and reviews reflects this 100% Tonight we sat in the bar and had fish and chips, it was well cooked and had zero issues to the point my plates were so clean they looked like they had not been used 🤣 cutlery was clean and fresh and glasses very clean and like you had got them from home 👌 On that note table sevice is spot on but when I finish I always clean the table and take to the bar, this is a nod to a thanks for the service and I'm helping you back out 👍😘 Bill paid and table left clean and we were waved out the door and we said see you again soon, Look after the staff and pub they work very hard for this level of service Thanks again 😘x see you again very soon

Visited twice so far. Everything is absolutely great about this place.

Excellent pizza & pie! Super friendly staff and a cute bar worth a visit.

Popped in for a light snack which was tasty and well presented. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Had a really well-kept beer and best ever steak sandwich. Great atmosphere and service, will be going back again. No more to say, but this has to be 100 characters long !

This is a great pub that was recommended by friends. I had the steak sandwich which was cooked to perfection and others had the burgers which were also very good!

The food was excellent, there was a good selection of well kept real beers and it was an October lunchtime where the sun shone making it warm enough to sit in the garden. One of the finest steak sandwiches you'll ever get to eat.

Really good meal, lots of outside space, friendly service, and great access to the nature reserve and common.

Friendly staff. Lovely looking pub. The burger was perfection.

Great pub for when doing walks around the commons, serve great local beers that very well kept. Very dog friendly

Back again for a quick meal after a days filming and photos. Ordered fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding, On walking in we were welcomed with a smile, nice clear bar and front of house seating area Clean glasses and food came out hot and ready to eat. Honestly best fish and chips in the area and the mushy peas it would have been rude of me to lick the plate 😂 but soooo wanted too!! 😛 Spoke to the landlady again, always happy and up for a giggle and chat. Sooo refreshing in such a miserable world ❤️ we took out plates in to help with table service and I'm just like that 👍 Look after this place!! Excellent food pubs and atmosphere is hard to find these days!! 100% postive feedback from us ❤️❤️ Will see you again soon X Thanks again

Visited this pub for the first time last night. I was not impressed. We wanted to sit in the garden, have a drink and a meal. We tried to order food at the bar but were told we had to get a table number first, as we both have walking difficulties this was really unacceptable. A lady said she was the only person in the kitchen & we needed the table number first to order. The food was very slow and when it did arrive it was cold Will not be returning

Had an amazing experience on Sunday the atmosphere and the welcome you receive is brilliant the roast dinner was superb 4 of us (2children) and two dogs.

Went for lunch, waited 50 mins for food which had not arrived so I had to chase for the food order which was obviously forgotten, staff didn’t ask if we’d enjoyed the food or if there were any issues, which there were, my fries had been over salted and were not edible. Staff need further training, not their fault if they’re not told how to do their job properly. You’ll be pleased to know I won’t be returning.

Lovely village pub with a huge garden overlooking the village of Thursley. Good food and decent beer.

Beautiful country pub a short distance from the A3. Worth a detour.

Great country pub for an A3 stop off. Setting, beer and food all great, will be back

Delicious pizza and fish and chips 😋😋😋

Nice little village pub. I didn't fancy any of the ales they had on offer, so I had a couple of Jameson.

Doing a bit of a pub crawl over a few weeks with our dog Betsy who's got cancer so making some long lasting memories Decided to pop out here for a coke and rest in the beer garden but on thr way thought why not have a meal as well Parking was easy and felt safe leaving it there, walked into the well layed out pub to find two very welcoming guys behind the bar who pointed the way round to the beer garden, up the small path to the left of the pub was a fenced off play area and very large well kept beer garden with nice solid seating that any age can sit on and nice gap between table and seat just perfect for sitting up or lounging back after a meal 👍👍👍 Garden was well kept and nice flat area to walk on and outside rain covered area and larger bar area After I settled my wife and my dog Betsy down at a table with a view out over the fields of corn I walked back to the bar and ordered our meal with two pints of coke Glasses were super clean like new and bar and staff were clean and polite /friendly nothing was too much for them and every request was answered back with a professional response 👍👍👍 This beautiful place is made sooo much better when food arrived, massive bit of fish, plate of chips and sides were another for any stomach to take, fish was cooked just perfect like they knew, sooo much fish from pubs can be wet and soggy NOT this meal, batter crunch and chips were perfect as well, coke is not watered down rubbish PROPER PUB FOOD ❤️❤️ I took our plates back indoors as got our puddings ready Nice blonde hair lady came out with our puddings and as it was starting to rain even though we were under the tree on the back left the lady offered a seat indoors for our puddings, we took her up on that and made our way to the beautiful seating area right out the front with the log burner in I did say to the lady we were blow away with the food and cleared the plate clean, always and sold winner that the food is too notch She was over the moon that I had given postive feedback, believe me it was deserved We 100% will be back!!! Thanks for making us feel so welcome with the atmosphere and food ❤️

Had heard only good reports of this pub so may brother and I gave it a go for Sunday lunch. He had roast pork and I had roast beef. The vegetables were delicious and plentiful. My brother's pork and my beef covered virtually the whole plate. Both were very tasty and tender. I also had the biggest Yorkshire pudding I have ever had in my whole life! It was wonderfully light, crispy & 'eggy' in the middle. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and very personable. Roll on next Sunday!

locally run Pub with lots of history, garden with superb views, lovely place for a Spot of lunch in the summer.

Lovely pub lunch in the garden. Peaceful surroundings. Only thing I would change would be some more steak in the steak sandwich.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Great food.

Really enjoyed lunch in garden. Appreciated that the tables weren't squashed too close, so we had space for our son and dog to play in the grass. And there was plenty of shade, which was key on a hot day! Good menu and the food came out quickly. Was nice to have a good number of vegetarian options to choose from! Lovely staff and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The best Sunday lunch i've eaten out was very nice indeed. Lovely place, cracking beer garden with great views.

Lovely location close to the large Thursley Nature Reserve, pub garden overlooking the countryside, lovely food, and engaged staff. Popular on a sunny Sunday so wise to book a table in advance

Always a nice welcome and friendly staff and this lovely community-run local pub. In the summer we have enjoyed eating in the garden with its far reaching views. We have eaten here a few times and until now always had good food. But on this occasion the food was poor. The pie was swimming in gravy that lacked any flavour, it would also have been nicer to serve the gravy separately. Sadly the food was cold and had to be returned to the kitchen, the pub was not busy and it really seemed a shame that they missed the mark on this occassion. We also noted that the menu was not as interesting as it had been earlier in the year. I am hoping this was a 'blip' and that normal service will resume. We will give it another go sometime soon.

Really nice pub and delicious food. Also community owned which is great. Would come again!

Nice pub- cosy with great food. Not too big or too busy so the staff have time for you, great service.

Had a very enjoyable meal recently here. Food was excellent. Freshly cooked to perfection. Service was also very good. My husband particularly enjoyed the the bread and butter pudding. All together the best meal I have had in a very long time. Can't wait to go back again.

Really nice country pub. Well worth a visit after a walk on the Common.

Lovely atmosphere and good food

Wonderful staff, quirky and full of character. Great spaces that are warm and welcoming (open fireplaces in each space) carpark spaces.

Great atmosphere, dog friendly and very welcoming environment, both staff and customers. Great location, next to some fantastic walks, either over Thursley Common, Hanckley Common, or up to the Devils Punchbowl.

Nice country pub. Pricy. The people sitting next to us made sure everyone knew how their daughter was at boarding school. However the food was good. So was the coffee.

Brilliant. Food is amazing and service is great

Found this lovely little place while out on a hike, we were welcomed by happy staff and had a couple of drinks by the fire to warm up and dry off as it was tipping down. Will definitely come here again soon

Lovely country pub and restaurant, food looked great even though we did not stay to eat. Large beer garden with plenty of seating and tables. Friendly young staff. It's what you would expect a proper country pub to be.

Great pub after a walk across the common

This place is amazing I loved the food and the atmosphere! The staff were friendly and helpful; even though I came in on a busy day they still manage to find my friend and myself a table outside next to the fire. I will absolutely be returning!

Great service from lovely people

This is a real gem! Lovely country pup offering delicious meals in a comfortable restaurant with ambience. Staff were friendly and service exemplary. Generous portions. Plenty of parking. You must pay them a visit if you're in the area.

Great food and very quick service. Highly recommend for a visit

Good service and excellent food. Pizza base a little thin if I'm being picky but perhaps that's a bit harsh. One of our party had the steak sandwich which looked fantastic. Thoroughly recommended.

Fabulous service amazing food and the best hot chocolate this side of the Hindhead tunnel! George has got the nak down to a tee. Will certainly be back again.

What a lovely pub, great food, friendly staff and a lovely choice of outdoor places to sit. Four of us had a terrific lunch, eating everything from burgers to salads, all wonderful and great value. We’ll definitely go again and recommend you do too!

Another amazing Sunday lunch at the Three Horseshoes. Excellent choice and generous portion sizes. Lou lou and Malory were perfect servers. Food was piping hot and perfectly cooked. Congratulations to Michelle and Daniel and your team. Will be back again soon. 😘

Quite expensive food for what you actually get - we'd had a much tastier and better presented very similar meal elsewhere a few days before at a much cheaper price. One would expect something better than what looked and tasted like oven chips too! This pub is obviously gem of a buiding and has a great garden (although there were no parasols on nay of the tables on the grass and folk were quinting and then moving to the few covered tables) so its a shame that they have dropped their game.

We'd been to the Sculpture Gardens, Churt, not far away. I started looking for a lunch place more local to the gardens but soon chose this place. It was easy to find, on our way back and had plenty of parking. We found the staff efficient and friendly and had a well spaced table in the sunlit dining room. Along with a glass of tasty Chilean Sauvignon my wife had what she described as the best fish and chips ever and I had a really tasty, interesting and substantial African pork stew. The prices seemed very fair for the quality.
