The Three Horseshoes in Waverley

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Hopefully this is the sort of place which will survive the current crisis and certainly it’s absolutely necessary to book a table even if you just want a drink as they are deservedly popular. We hadn’t booked and arrived just as they opened to find every table booked bar one which meant we could have a drink. Warm and comfortable, Covid secure, friendly efficient staff and lovely looking food. Well worth finding.

Lovely country pub, to me this is how every pub with a restaurant should be - totally dog friendly and well placed to retire to after a good walk round Thursley nature reserve and Hankley common with excellent food. Sunday roast was top notch with large portions and brilliant quality. The only odd things are that the cauliflower cheese isn’t on the menu yet served with every roast (a great surprise) and only the beef came with a Yorkshire (though they were happily provided free on all of our meals when asked). Don’t miss the Yorkshire’s either because they are fantastic and enormous!! Sticky toffee pudding to finish was tremendous as well and again a very generous portion. We will be returning.

Anyone looking at my reviews will see most of them are fairly positive. It is clear that the Three Horseshoes has a problem, however. It is possible, to be fair to them, that they were having a bad day as a one-off.Firstly, the food was very good (though a little overpriced for typical dishes).However, we waited 50 minutes to receive the food. It was a Saturday and we sat outside as we hadn't booked. Only those who had booked could sit indoors. Everyone seemed to be waiting a long time, however. When pubs are taking a long time to serve the food, they usually let you know as you arrive. More strangely, as we walked down the driveway upon leaving the pub, the barman ran after us asking if we had paid! I thought he could have checked with the waitress, a rather more professional approach to whatever his doubt was. We tried not to be insulted and told him we had paid (as we had) but then he asked us for our receipt from the payment we had just made! It is possible he thought we were annoyed at waiting so long for the food and had decided to walk out and not to pay. But that is not the casel. Since this has never happened in any pub I have visited, and I go to many, it stands out. Due to the good food, I would possibly give them a second chance but not a third.

A lovely country pub, dog friendly .Shown through bar to the restaurant-well spaced out tables. Friendly, efficient staff. Good menu choices to suit all- from their speciality burgers ,pizzas to pub favourites(. The Wagyu Burger was a hit with our party!)

This is a free house in well-heeled Surrey. It is right by the A3 which does not impact on the ambience of the village and its pub, but is good for getting to and from at speed. Walk up to the Devil's Punchbowl then retire for beer in the pub bit at the front and eat in the quiet restaurant at the rear.Well I have to say that the food was outstanding. West African pork stew was just delicious, and Mrs Miniman reckoned that it was the best battered fish and clearly homemeade chips she'd had for some time. The house wine, both red and white was v good - it's labelled for them and is a Chilean merlot and a Chilean sauvignon blanc respectively. Nothing is cheap in Surrey, but this place is not more expensive than average.A note to other reviewers. Don't complain about the price of the wine. You're in Surrey. Either suck it up or don't have it. And please - can we have less moaning about a lack of Vegan food? If they don't do vegan, there may be a commercial reason, rather than just being sick to the back teeth with your whingeing. You don't have a right to complain when they don't cater for your fringe tastes. If you want vegan food, check out the menu before making a booking.

Amazing burgers yet again xxxx thank you Daniel and Michelle for another fabulously fresh burger today. Also the charred fudge sundae was amazing! The fabulous staff at the Three Horseshoes Thursley are all so helpful and very friendly. A true credit to Daniel and Michelle. Stay safe and we will see you soon. Jo and Maggie xxx

Oh dear what a dreadful experience. We had booked lunch at this pub and were shown through to the very smooth restaurant. The pub area being at the front of the building. After a few minutes two people arrived with four large and very smelly wet dogs. This is not acceptable in what is clearly an inside eating restaurant and not the drinking pub area. We highlighted this to management and were literally shouted at by the very rude manager. We will not be returning and will also tell our friends who use this area a lot for running, walking and cycling. This manager needs to be sacked, all we were asking was to be moved away from the smelly dogs.

Had an amazing walk in the Thursley Common just over the road from The Three horseshoes Pub. We booked a table for lunch and enjoyed the whole afternoon. The food was lovely and other than a woman moaning about dogs, i couldn't ask for a more welcoming place to go. Can't wait to go again with my dog.

Although this pub is in the most gorgeous spot and the staff are mostly delightful, if you want a vegetarian burger - BEWARE! I ordered the Veggie Burger and, when it arrived, I thought I was eating meat. On raising the question, I was told it was vegetarian as it was a plant based burger. Nowhere on the menu does it say that. I suggested that it should have been listed as a plant based burger, I was told that if all ingredients were listed then the menu would run to 8 pages! Not great customer relations. . . I realise that I might sound picky but if I wanted to eat a meat flavoured meal, I would eat meat. Veggie burger, to me, says vegetables. To balance this - my husband had a delicious pizza!

We both had the bbq pork curry which sadly was not our cup of tea. However we knew the puddings were second to none so secretly we were pleased we didn’t finish our main course. The salted caramel brownie and the treacle tart were delicious and it made the visit even more worthwhile. Holly was our waitress and she couldn’t do enough for us. Michelle was flying around cooking her amazing pizzas and serving the locals. Daniel was in the kitchen creating his masterpiece dishes. It was pleasantly busy and the service was excellent. We will certainly be back again. Thank you so much everyone xxx

100 stars for the steak and ribs we had last night. Thankyou!!! Ready on time, cooked to perfection. With plenty of chips too. We will be back soon.

Met some friends for lunch here a couple of days ago. A lovely traditional pub with a great menu and very friendly staff. My husband enjoyed the locally brewed beer. The food was good, service great. We'll certainly go back. My only criticism - it was cold but they did put some more logs on the fire to try and get it a bit warmer. It was a freezing day ourside!

Delicious Sunday lunch following local walk - stunning scenery - with excellent friendly service, good ale and great puds and coffee. Will come again!

Tried, TRIED this pub three or four times. Every time I've been there's been the same local "gentleman" sitting at the bar watching a sports game VERY loud on his mobile. Who thinks that's fine? Just what you don't want - anywhere. Who wants that whilst eating and who would let that happen regularly! Tried to order food from the menu and was told food didn't start until 6pm. Fair enough but they refused our food order until 6pm - it was 5:45pm and we was ordering drinks at the same time!!! We went and ate at elsewhere in Elstead instead. It seems it's fine if you're a local. They seem to do what they want. Not very welcoming if you are not.

This is only our second visit here and our first for food. We only booked last minute after our plans changed and we saw the menu online.The food was amazing - beautifully cooked and presented. The soup was out of this world. Staff were friendly and attentive. Excellent value for money. We will definitely return

Amazing food, vegan options available for those that want it. Puddings to die for. Brilliant atmosphere. Friendly and certainly somewhere to come for a Sunday lunch. If you have special dietary requirements all you have to do is call the pub a couple of days before and they will do their best to cater for you. What an amazing place Daniel and Michelle and their team go from strength to strength with great food brilliant company and a real country pub atmosphere. Vegans are still in the minority so if you absolutely have to eat vegan be grateful when places offer you an option! Keep doing what you are doing guys it’s certainly working!

After a last minute change of plans we booked for the 6 course taster menu.Each course was delicious, interesting and beautifully presented. The service was excellent (my waiter had been told before I arrived that I don't eat fish).In previous years at other venues, I have found Valentine's day is an opportunity to fill every corner with tables, over work the waiting staff and try for more covers than the kitchen can handle but was very pleased that here the numbers were strictly controlled so that the experience could be enjoyed.This was our first visit for food. We had a really pleasant afternoon in the garden in the summer. We'll definitely be back for more food.Fantastic value for money.

Hugely disappointing. Vegan menu available during the week, even boasted about on the menu pages, but, was told very rudely and dismissively "oh, we can't possibly do vegan meals on a Sunday". Thing is, if you can the rest of the week, why can't you do a vegan meal on a Sunday? This pub prides itself on being owned by the community, but, it seems, that not all of the community is welcome.

This is a cosy little country pub/restaurant in Thursley village near to Godalming. It is owned and run by a group of villagers and appears to be a first class community pub.There are several good beers on draught and the menu is adequate but not extensive. However our party of four enjoyed standards such as burgers and fish and chips as well as a delicious beef in suet special of the day.The prices are reasonable, the staff friendly and efficient and the log fire provides a warm winter atmosphere with an outside garden for a warmer summer experience . Thank you everyone at Three Horseshoes

Tried to book a table for Sunday lunch and, with 10 days notice, they were unable to provide a vegan meal! Unbelievable.

Popped in for lunch with a friend and had a most enjoyable time. The service, food and ambiance were all extremely good. Keep up the good work!

Afraid very disappointed. We had been previously and it was lovely, so took large family group there for a Christmas get together. Booked well in advanced and said it was for Christmas, assumed had ordered the Christmas menu, but when arrived was told had not. Food arrived and waitress has got the order wrong so one member of our table had to sit there for 10 minutes waiting for her food to be cooked. Everyone else waited for her food to arrive and so the whole tables food went cold, no formal apology, nothing, staff did not seem to care, even after we complained. Was really embarrassed as everyone had come from around the UK to visit and I had said it was lovely food and service. Like to support local independent pubs but afraid won’t be supporting this one again as it was a complete let down.

Arrived at opening time 1100 to see the scent-Hunt gathering in the car park - horses and hounds all in great shape and protesters on site and behaving well. They moved off about 1110 and, as it had started to rain, we missed out on the nature board-walk on the Thursley / Elstead Heath and went inside for delicious coffee. Chatting was extended so we went straight into lunch. Wrap very tasty, West African Stew warming and scrummy, and pie of the week (lamb) just great pub grub if that does not sound like a put down. Couple of local beers on tap. The restaurant was very busy but we managed to grab a table at the bar - very convivial. Super convenient for the A3 with north/south access. A relaxed, very local, walking pub and super-dog-friendly.

A group of 7 of us came here on a Friday for a late lunch. The food was great, lots of options for starters, mains and desserts. I was very impressed with my meal and how long it took for food to be served to us. Would come here again.

Great meal. Took my 92 year old mother....excellent access. Lovely pub atmosphere and great food. Always a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere.

We recently called in for a Sunday roast and both had the beef option. Absolutely delicious and huge portion, so didn’t mind the slightly higher than the average roast prices elsewhere. Sadly no room for pudding!

Fantastic Sunday roast. Especially delicious was the gravy and red cabbage but everything tasted good - greens, carrots, roast potatoes, ginormous Yorkshire pudding. My husband had roast lamb, I had the beef and my kids had the roast pork. Not the cheapest roast in the area but you certainly don’t need a starter or a dessert afterwards. Friendly pub with helpful staff and a nice atmosphere.

Eager for a relaxed evening meal after a long day at the Weald and Downland Museum, we took a random exit off the A3 and followed our noses to this gem!! We were greeted with a smile as we entered and shown to a quiet table with deeply comfortable chairs. The menu is not massive, but it is so varied that there is no question that there will be something for all tastes. We had smoked salmon on toast with horseradish creme fraiche - packed a punch but not overpoweringly so - and the chicken parfait with toast and delicious chutney. Portions generous and beautifully presented. Main courses of the West African Pork stew with flatbread and battered cod, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce could not be bettered. Service was friendly, unobtrusive and efficient and the final bill including coffee and soft drinks was very reasonable. In spite of the fact that we live in Essex, we will be back!!

I went to the Three Horseshoes with a walking group of 11. We were very well welcomed with enough staff to manage our number ordering drinks. We had a good table set up in the dining room. Yes we had to preorder but that did not matter. I had the smoked salmon starter. This was one day of the best dishes I have had for a while. Set on tasty bread with salad and horseradish mayonnaise it slipped down very well. I followed this with treacle tart. Both were delicious. All those around the table enjoyed their food. And all was serviced with a smile and excellent service.

Staff very welcoming, friendly, helpfully and attentive. Good selection of local beers (Hogsback TEA and Shere Drop in particular, along with an extensive range of local gins. Traditional bar, stylish restaurant and lovely country pub garden make this the perfect pub for a summers day. We ate bar snacks, fantastic duck spring rolls and vegetable samosas. Delicious!

Eat at the Pub over the July period. Had nearly all the food on the menu. There was not a bad meal at all. The staff are friendly. Beer fresh and cold. Wines are tasty and affordable. Smoked food amazing. Room for large groups. I just loved the views, people, food. Very comfortable Pub.

Had lovely lunch on terace, shared squid to start then Pizza and Wrap as main, shared brownie to finish. All excellent. Nice beers (Shere Drop) and friendly and helpful staff. will definitely be back

Out on our travels decided to stop off here for lunch. Friendly greeting on arrival and service throughout our stay was good. Menu is wide ranging, when we got our food all was good. My one big grip no local beer hence the 4 star rating rather than five.

I came in for dinner with a friend over the weekend and the service was fantastic, lovely to see such friendly, welcoming staff. The seabass was simply stunning and we really appreciated being informed that the chicken Caesar would have a wait as it was cooked from fresh (this allowed plenty of time for a cheeky mezze)!! Will defiantly be returning!

It's nice when staff are obviously enjoying their work, but at the Three Horseshoes things are in danger of getting out of hand. The service on the day I visited could best be described as lovably shambolic. Granted, one member of staff was new and was being shown what to do, but there just seemed to be too many people behind the scenes, attempting to pass on to each other messages about what was going on with which table.

We stopped here on a Friday lunchtime with our 3 year old grandson looking for a light lunch. We could not have found a more ideal spot. Quick and friendly service, a great table by the window and good pub food. Dinner and drinks for the three of us for £35. Well worth it.

The boys from the BNO club settled on The Three Horseshoes in our 20-year quest to find the very best pubs in the South-East of England. And I'm happy to say The Three Horseshoes is among the best. The fine T.E.A. ale from the Hog's Back Brewery accompanied my excellent 'Beef Double Cheese Burger with Lettuce, Red Onion, Burger Sauce and Chips with extra Bacon' (£15.50). Monkey Jim and I had asked that our burgers be less than cremated; we were pleasantly surprised that they arrived more medium than well-done and had thus retained moisture. Tone and Nick had the Pan-Fried Seabass (£17.50). A little more expensive that the average pub grub but we're happy to pay a little more for very good food in pleasant surroundings. Service was excellent too – recommended.

Fabulous lunch with the family, everything delightful and the best salt and pepper squid I have ever had. Thank you!

Had a lovely lunch with my family. The atmosphere was as you would expect from a lovely rural pub. Service was very efficient and at the same time informal. Friendly bar staff. Highly recommended.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and I just love the fish and chips. Great atmosphere. Proper country pub. I’ll be back!

Despite an empty restaurant we were put in a corridor by the toilets rather than the restaurant. Very high prices for poor variety food.

Great hog roast in the garden, lovely lunch with family, well recommended. Helpful and friendly staff, and Surrey Hills Shere Drop on tap in excellent condition.

Our early weekday dinner included excellent food, generous portions and reasonable prices. The key lime pie was especially excellent and obviously home made. While the selection of beers and lagers is relatively small there something for every taste and they are well served. The wine we had was also very good. If you want to have your dog with you at the table, make sure to mention it when booking to get a table in the bar area. Nice to see a community owned pub busy and run by an excellent team.

Been here a few times so know its a lovely environment and quality ingredients.

We were invited to lunch and our friends chose this pub, being one of their local favourites. It was a very enjoyable experience. Set in a pretty location and with attentive, pleasant and courteous staff it was a pleasure.

My wife and I visited for lunch on Tuesday, 9th February.

Eaten here twice in the last four days. Ate in the bar area on the first visit, just two of us. Very good service from the staff, good food and beers. Booked again whilst there for a Saturday lunch for ten people.

We love going to the Three Horseshoes for Sunday Lunch. There's a good boardwalk around the Common then a short drive to this lovely country pub with good beer, wine and fab sunday lunch. We like to eat later than most on a Sunday afternoon and its worth bearing in mind that sometimes some of the menu will have sold out. Best order when you book especially if you want roast beef. The roast chicken as my substitute though is delicious.

I came here with my oldest son (19) and youngest son (4) for Sunday lunch.

There's really not much to say about The Three Horseshoes.... except: fabulous food, fantastic service, great place. Absolutely loved it.

I have been visiting The Three Horseshoes quite a bit over the year with a large group of people and dogs. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and the service and food have been top notch.

Been here before for Mexican, pizza and drinks but before Christmas stopped in for a roast.... love the manager, she is so lively and friendly and the roasts are amazing - roast pork comes with crackling apple sauce and an amazing slice of pork belly meat

Have visited four times during Christmas break this pub is really wonderful. It’s owned locally by villagers and it has a lively buzzy atmosphere in the evenings. The wine selection is fine and the staff are friendly. The one downside -I just wish the food was a little less bland. I am gluten free and vegetarian so am used to not much choice but there was no gluten free bread on offer and for my vegetarian friends not a lot of great choice either. The dishes that arrived have been bland and average. My meat eating friends have said the same. I haven’t though been for Sunday lunch which is supposed to be very good. If this pub ups it’s game food wise it would be a five star pub but I have given it four ( three stars for food and five for atmosphere)

We had lunch here today for my son's 21st, Sunday lunch was absolutely lovely. Service, food, and perfect real ales tip top. This is what all country pubs should be like but sadly aren't.

Having lived less than five miles away for forty years, I thought I had visited every pub/restaurant in the area but somehow this one was not on my radar. It certainly is now. atmospheric, friendly and one of the best Sunday lunches around. Now we want to return to sample the full menu. Highly recommended.
