The Three Horseshoes in South Cambridgeshire

Unfortunately the kitchen was out of service, but the beer and cider are highly recommended. Baarkeep quick and friendly. Star deduction for sticky tables.

Really great pub with a very nice owner, good atmosphere and a very very great beer selection with mixes of local and well-known beer. Gladly again

A great spot for a long-awaited catch-up. Lovely spacious garden and excellent selection of sandwiches for lunch. Friendly staff and great service

Unrecognisable from a few months ago. Now feels like a genuine community pub, visited by all age-groups. Garden is fantastic, indoor areas have a lively atmosphere, and the pub is regularly visited by different food trucks from around the area. Five stars.

Great local village pub with good choice of ales and beers etc. Check them out for special food vans onsite.

On Sundays you get drinks and nothing to eat

Nice family friendly local pub. Great yard for kids and outdoor seating.

This pub is amazing, the staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere is excellent. They have a wide range of drinks and snacks which is great for everyone. The box menu which they do is delicious and very well priced, i would recommend the loaded fries (veggie or regular) they’re incredible. Definitely recommend !

Very friendly pub both staff and other customers. We are staying at a nearby caravan park and visited here on a number of occasions. The beer is varied and at a reasonable place. Would definitely visit again however, the caravan park was less inviting so doubt you will see us again. Pity.

What a lovely pub. Excellent pub with really good friendly staff. The lunch time menu is more bar snacks as opposed to meal but they are well priced and substantial. I would definitely recommend and will return. PS The music is good!

Best service in a pub almost like family

Amazing place, lovely selection of cakes and coffees. Great atmosphere, felt very welcomed by staff. Since being taken over by the new owners business is flourishing.

Wonderful community pub. Fantastic coffee and delicious chocolate brownie.

Finally after years of neglect, indifferent service and most local customers not inclined to patronise the “Shoes “ the pub lease has been taken by a group of local residents in order to maintain this pub as a community asset. In these desperate economic times anyone it takes a brave person to attempt to lure folks away from their homes to visit their local. However all has gone very well indeed with the Shoes now open 7 days a week as a pub and from 3-5 pm as a coffee n cake shop. In addition to the various food vans that park up in front freshly cooked food is available on Friday and Saturday nights. The ‘ new Shoes ‘ has proven most popular with new and ‘ex customers alike. As a village pub dogs are plentiful and with a large fenced garden behind it will be an ideal location for children. In these days of pubs closing it is so refreshing to have our last public house thriving!

We were visiting NT Wimpole and came here instead and we weren’t disappointed. There was a cafe within the pub. A good selection of cakes etc and a menu offering jacket potatoes. My wife and I had one each and they were delicious. 5 toppings were available too. For the real ale drinkers there were 4 on offer. I went for the TT Landlord and it was an excellent pint. There were offerings from local producers too. We will return on our next visit to Wimpole.

Very nice village pub with a community feel. It's run and owned by a number of local people. Just about started to serve food too.

So pleased it has reopened and under new management, totally transformed into an amazing village pub as it once was. Great selection of food vans on rotation as well as great baguettes, jackets ans sweet treats during the day, oh and great selection of beer. Looking forward to the future and hope to see more local breweries involved (appreciate it's tied). Spring and summer here is amazing with the huge family friendly garden. Cheers.

A great atmosphere on Christmas Day visit at lunchtime caught up with old friends.

The new management seems to have turned this place around. Called in for a drink on Saturday with family and it had a really nice atmosphere. Great selection of about 12 different beers on draught.

Visited this morning for a Friday morning cuppa and a slice of cake with friends. We don’t have a café in the village so this new service is a great idea. I arrived before my friends and was welcomed with big smiles, a good selection of cakes, and good service. There was no decaf coffee option but was told that would arrive soon, and offered decaf tea. Overall great service, a warm welcome and good value. Thank you.

Good beer. Local beer too.. Two of which have only come a few miles. Excellent

First visit, what a lovely place. The new owners have clearly put a lot of effort in and have created a real mix of old village pub with some modern touches. A great selection of beers, friendly staff and even treats for the dog - will definitely return in better weather to try out the garden. Highly recommend.

This is such a nice cosy pub. Friendly atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and welcoming and a lovely big garden to lose the kids in for a few hours.

Non local who has popped could not be friendlier, lively atmosphere and the food van outside was top quality. I will definitely be coming back when driving through the area Good value

This pub under the new ownership since the summer is a must go. A real village pub with a great atmosphere, visited here 18months ago and swore I wouldn't return. Passing through I saw that the pub had been renovated on the outside giving it a new lease of life. My boys loved the huge garden, the staff were welcoming, great range of soft and alcoholic drinks and the food van was a real unexpected surprise. Definitely going to make a return visit on my next visit to the area.

Attended venue for the first time last weekend for the Rugby World Cup. Atmosphere at the pub was brilliant and made for a very good day. Service at the bar was very quick and will definetly be going back 👍

I've visited there twice. Both have been poor experiences. One time my partner tried to make conversation at the bar and he was blanked. Disgusting. A time before that I went with my best friend and someone tried to come on to my friend. Why do you allow old men to come on to young women? Yes she was 19 but still.

Friendly staff, lovrly interior and a wonderfully big outside play area for the kids. We'll be back!

I was there when the Barefoot DJs were playing music and enjoyed seeing my friends again for a drink and a dance :)

Lovely pub with friendly staff. They have food vans at the moment but you need to check days; all excellent.

New Landlord is doing brilliant. Keep going. Bravo

Under new management - good beers!

No food yet, but great to see the pub open under new management. A great focus for the village.

Great local pub. Friendly staff and great service.

Beautiful beer garden, dog friendly, perfect!

So nice to have a family friendly pub back open in Comberton, been twice since the new landlords took over and will certainly be going again. Lovely garden for the children to enjoy while we got to have a quiet drink under the shade of the trees.

Heard that they had new people running the pub so thought i would see how it was , and was very impressed with how i was greeted , a big smile and was served straight away , had a pint for my husband justinian and half for me of moretti . The barmen was nice and chatty and felt very comfortable in there ! It seemed quite busy for a village pub which is a good sign , so will be going back soon !

Great to see the pub back and busy again.

Not made to feel welcome at all. Having moved to the village in January we had driven past the pub a few times and decided that we would go for a meal with my partner and her sister with her children. On arrival to the pub we asked if we could have a table for food and we’re told they were only doing take away food, but we lady behind the bar said that she could fit us in between the take away meals being cooked. As the weather was nice and sunny we asked if we could sit outside and we’re told no, they are not doing food outside and given a choice of two tables to sit at in the bar. While we were waiting for food another group of people walked in and they asked about food and were straight away told they are doing food there will be a little wait but they can have a table anywhere in the bar or outside. The quality of the food was not fantastic and don’t think the portions were value for money. I was also extremely ill overnight and the next day. We will not be returning and would recommend people go elsewhere.

We visited the three horseshoes for the first time in a while for Sunday lunch. It was a cold Sunday and they had a bog roaring fire burning in the corner. Everyone had something different, beef, lamb or chicken. Portion sizes were excellent, Yorkshire puddings enormous and roast potatoes nice and crispy. I had the lamb which was served with a homemade jus....mmmmmm. Service was friendly and attentive. Sill a great local option.

Delicious food and environment!

I have been calling the pub in a moment of desperation asking if I could access a free meal due to being at risk of being critically unwell as a result of adversity impacting on my ability to access local services, including food. I have been welcomed to join the pub for a free meal, however upon arrival the individual, the wife of the owner of the pub, has lied right to my face with regards to offering me a free meal even though at the same time when asking for clarifications admitted to knowing that I have telephone called to have a meal offered in the first place. I am a vulnerable young woman, at risk of homelessness, intelligent, being in a place to aim to prevent an aggravation in my health however I am afraid the dishonesty and pure maliciousness on the part of whoever has been serving greeting me has been beyond tolerability impacting on my psychological wellbeing in a negative way, aggravating my health concerns. As a result, I am in a crisis I don’t know to address. I’d be cautious when using the services of the pub aforementioned particularly if you value good qualities in life, or if you care about a vulnerable person at risk in the community.

Really good service and lovely food

What an amazing pub, great vibes, excellent food, beer second to none. Even if you come in to Cambridgeshire this is definitely worth a visit

great place & garden for regular customers & great meal choices

Lekker fish & chips. Heerlijke mashed pies gegeten. Goed bier

Friendly and helpful staff large garden and kid friendly

We were staying at a local camp site and walked here for our evening meal. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend a visit if in the area.

Yesterday we sat in the lovely garden of this super pub and had an excellent beer. No wonder this pub is in the good beer guide. Today we have had the nicest fish and chips we have had in years. Beautiful fresh fish superbly cooked. Highly recommended

Stopped by for lunch on short cycling trip. Delicious homemade lasagna followed by excellent crumble and custard. Prompt and very friendly service. Good beers. Would definitely recommend this pub

We come every third Tuesday of the month. We are always thoroughly looked after.

Went out for a quiet drink tonight, I haven't been to this pub in years my father-in-law used to go every Thursday and I now know why a great proper old fashion pub. Nice atmosphere and good selection of beers and other drinks. Definitely make a trip here if you want a drink without the fuss and a good chat with good friends.

Lovely friendly pub. I met my sister and brother in law there about twice a year as it's halfway between us. Always made welcome. Lovely roaring fire in the winter. Good food.

Peaceful for all the family and an outside place for little ones to play in there own secure play area watched and played by mum dad

Lovely pub, great food, very friendly, would recommend

Really helpful and friendly landlady, my wife and I had lunch. She had scampi and I had fish both came with lovely chunky chips and petit poire, the food was beautifully cooked and well presented. If in the area this little country pub in us...

The pub was well organised for the Covid rules staff excellent as always service was to the table which was good feels like you are abroad not something we in the UK 🇬🇧 are usually expecting eh!!

On visiting The Three Horseshoes I saw there were 2 ales that I have never seen or tasted. I chose the ipa ale which was very nice. On the second choice I wanted to try the other ale which was described as hoppy. Alright I...

Well run good beer lovely people excellent.

Visited on a Wednesday evening. Very quiet; only atmosphere was a radio and a guy listening to aeroplane engines on his mobile phone. Limited choice of food which was very bland, very expensive and poor value for money. It seems that hosts are keeping the...

Friendly staff, very good service, 5/5 hygiene rating and everything is set up nicely for social distancing. We came to have a 'nice' pub lunch and the food filled a hole, but was nothing terribly special. I had the fish and chips which were on the greasy side. My wine would have been better as a white wine spritzer. They say you need to book ahead, but we didn't have a booking and just turned up. Big, leafy garden out back with children's play area. Decent place for a quick drink, but not for food.

Excellent pub in Comberton for both drinks and a meal. The food is pub grub done to a high standard. I visited in the past for Sunday lunch but this was the first time for dinner. The menu choice was limited due to Covid. The...

Absolutely amazing place. We ate outside and it was an amazing atmosphere. It wasn’t too busy so food came promptly and tasted amazing! I ordered a burger and I haven’t tasted food like that in a long time. The burger was juicy, the bun was light and fluffy and it overall tasted gorgeous. We then ordered dessert and the menu was amazing. Lots of varied desserts for people with different taste; sticky toffee pudding, chocolate fudge cake and Bakewell tart. All the food tasted so good and we plan on coming back as soon as possible. This wasn’t our first time as we visited twice before so the owner knows us and remembered us from our last visit back in February. They are so lovely and welcoming here and would recommend this place for families and couples and anyone who wants to visit. There is also a mini play park for young kids to keep them preoccupied whilst waiting for food.

Whilst camping at Highfield Camping Park nearby we decided to walk down to the pub for lunch. We were greeted by Caragh the landlady who explained their social distancing measures catefully and was very polite and considerate. I tried one of the Ales which tasted...

Friendly staff, good beer. Need I say more?

A Sunday lunch with a choice of meat roasts and a vegetarian roast. Everything was very good, served nice and hot. The staff were very friendly and there was a nice atmosphere.

Large and tasty meals for all 5 of us, and at a reasonable price. Good, friendly and timely service.

The Three Horseshoes is een gezellige pub met vriendelijk personeel. En hoewel het een echte dorpspub is, is het publiek vriendelijk en beschaafd. Nieuwe gasten zijn van harte welkom. Het pubfood is wat je ervan mag verwachten - het zal geen Michelin-sterren verdienen, maar het is lekker en voedzaam, en het wordt met een glimlach geserveerd. De prijzen zijn van een normaal niveau.

Arrived at a fairly empty establishment considering it was a Saturday night. The landlord who served us could not have looked more miserable or disinterested in us providing them business, whilst the other bar lady was drinking at the other side of the bar and not serving customers. We asked for food but they said that the kitchen was shut. For a British pub to not serve food after 7pm is something of a first for me, especially on a Saturday. Asking some locals they said nobody really comes here for the food and that was clearly apparent as there was only a few people drinking when we were there anyway. I think the people running the pub could show a bit more enthusiasm and actually crack a smile rather than looking like a Christmas Scrooge! Then again, if I was running a pub that was that dead every Saturday night I’d probably look like that too! Wouldn’t recommend this pub, the little rose, white horse and surrounding villages have high quality pubs, Friendly service and actually serve food past 7. We did however get told the pub doesn’t even have a chef, which clearly shows the lack of effort and willingness the landlords are putting into running a pub! Much better options elsewhere, don’t waste your time giving business to two very unappreciative and miserable landlords!

Wanted a quick Sat light lunch and went for a sausage baguette with side of chips. Sat outside and thought the whole area looked scruffy and tables could do with th good wipe down, ashtrays emptied etc....should be routine. Service was fine. Poor quality baguette...

Caragh is an excellent host. She went out of her way to cater for our daughter who is vegan, and all our meals were delicious and well presented. Sitting outside in the pleasant surroundings of the garden was a real treat. It was a pleasure...

Nice local with plenty to enjoy in the garden

Lovely local pub with magnificent back garden. Beautiful trees and a great playground to keep the kids happy

Nice friendly pub very helpful to AMRR Bikers

Lovely friendly pub with good pub grub! The beer garden is huge - so perfect for the summer!!

Even wat gedronken, eten was er niet op zondagmiddag..🤔

An excellent, tasty Sunday lunch with attentive and efficient service. Prompt serving of all meals. Garden seating a pleasant alternative to inside. Reasonable food & bar prices. Good parking.

We went for a meal sat evening. Staff were all lovely and the food was delicious. Would go again when in the area

We visited for refreshment on the evening of Ash Wednesday. Splendid Landlord and Landlady, definitely deserving the GBG 2019 listing. We enjoyed both the drinks and the food, and especially the starters : Duck Spring Rolls (my wife likes Chinese food) and Popcorn Chicken (for...

A romantic place to go with some novel dishes, you can't help but feel a bit like it should have a Michelin star!

Slow roast lamb for Sunday lunch, I don't think it should technically have Yorkshire puds with it but who's complaining? A really good pint of beer and the wine was better than many pubs offer. Service was quick, friendly and no nonsense. An old lady...

We visited the Three Horseshoes during our camping holiday this month for an evening meal. The food and service was absolutely first class and would definitely return if and when we are in the area. For anyone thinking of visiting for an evening meal, food...

I only had a drink here calling in for a much needed break and drink after a very long walk round the area. The staff and locals were friendly and I couldn’t fault the service. The beer I had was excellent and nice to see a pub serving drinks from a local brewery. If I’m ever back in the area would certainly call here again hopefully to eat next time

Arrived just before 8pm from the nearby campsite. Good food and attentive service. Just as a pub should be run!

Title says it all:food was tasty , well priced pub grub. Sadly, the ketchup was so diluted that our chips and my burger turned soggy after I added it.

My family and I had Sunday lunch in the Three Horseshoes pub in Comberton. My son was on crutches due to a broken ankle and the lady who seated us could not have been more helpful. We ordered two children's meals and three roast lamb lunches. The children's meals were a good size and both were eaten very quickly. The roast lamb was met in the mouth served with crispy roast potatoes, very fluffy inside. The homemade lamb gravy was excellent and we asked for more. The best Sunday lunches I have had in a long time. Desserts were also great with the sticky toffee pudding finishing the meal. Looking forward to my next visit

Booked for Sunday lunch. A nice choice of roasts, three meats plus a vegetarian, well cooked with good roast potatoes and a good selection of vegetables. Also small portions are available, which is a very good for a choice.

Decidimos visitar este pub durante la tarde para matar el tiempo entre trabajo en el trabajo.

Had a nice dinner here tonight with friends and their kids. Showed up with 10 without reservation, but the waitress and kitchen managed everything very flexibly. The vega curry was lovely!

Parado aquí para comer el domingo y el bar estaba bastante concurrido, lo que parecía una buena señal. Pregunté por la comida y me dijeron que sólo asados los domingos y sólo había dejado de pollo o carne. Un poco de sorpresa ya que supongo que habría sido el peor día, pero no te preocupes, estábamos buscando carne de todos modos! Como el lugar estaba lleno Elegimos sentarnos en el jardín, y cuando preguntamos por una ficha nos dijeron que no podíamos tener uno si estábamos sentados en el jardín! . Hmmm.. . Bueno entonces. . Si eso es lo que es!

Encontramos el camino de regreso, ya iba a probar en otro sitio como usted.

Nos presentamos justo después de 8 a lo que parecía un agradable pub village. real Una buena señal es un montón de gente del interior. Al entrar nos saludó y nos preguntó qué queríamos tomar. También nos preguntamos si la comida estaba disponible, y así era. Mirando el menú era sencillo platos tradicionales a precios razonables. Ambos pedimos huevos con jamón y patatas fritas. La espera no fue demasiado larga como una mesa de 6 a pedir delante de nosotros. La comida llegó y parecía como debería hacer. También estaba buenísimo.

Reservamos una mesa para comer el domingo con mi pareja, mi madre y mi hermano y tuvimos una comida realmente precioso. Madre y hermano (además de otro hermano) viven en el pueblo y ambos hermanos visita regularmente (para bebidas, concurso, festival de la cerveza) pero esta era sólo mi segunda visita y la primera vez para una comida. El interior no es olde worlde pero no excesivamente moderna, es distribuida con el bar central, tiene carácter y es muy acogedor y cómodo. Como un montón de antiguos pubs hay fotografías antiguas del pueblo salpicado durante el pub y fue genial tomarse el tiempo para mirar en detalle. Estaba bastante tranquilo el domingo que visitamos - había algunos otros locales charlando en el bar, un grupo de personas en una mesa en el otro extremo del pub y alguien más restaurantes - y nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y pedidos de bebidas tomadas y entregado rápidamente. La señora del bar era muy amable y conversamos y bromearon con nosotros. El menú es tradicional asado de domingo, que es lo que esperábamos y fue preparado perfectamente y muy bien presentada, todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que la comida era estupenda y representaba una muy buena relación calidad-precio. Mi visita anterior fue para el despertar después de mi papá funeral y el pub un spread muy bueno de comida - Muchas personas comentó lo bueno que era. Espero que nuestra próxima visita y lo recomendaría a otros.

Our first visit for an impromptu Sunday lunch. The meal was good home cooked-style Sunday lunch. Beer good and service prompt and cheerful. Pub seems smaller than it looks from the outside but light and clean. No complaints and would go back

Visitamos este pub ya que estaba cerca de nuestro campamento. Llegamos a las 5.30 en punto y estamos contentos El pub estaba abierto. Hora de apertura, ya que está cerrado durante el día a mediados de la semana! Pedí tres bebidas y pedimos a ponerlas en una ficha - respuesta no estaba realmente. No consigues, un pub tiene una política de pago o no. Si te sientas fuera de pago pero no había dicho de cualquier manera en este punto. Tomó un poco de brillo a la llegada. De todos modos, pedir comida, su insignia de hamburguesa y el corned beef y una hamburguesa para niños. Insignia - paté bien burger bien pero en la hamburguesa buena guarnición. Las patatas fritas eran cocinadas en aceite poco tengo que decir. El corned beef estaba bien pero un poco seca - comida niños mucho mejor relación calidad-precio. Porciones bastante pequeña, sin vegetación en cualquier parte del sitio y creo que dijo que hubiera sido agradable. Señorita que era amable y agradable.

Estado muchas veces en el pase y siempre ha sido genial, esta vez no es tan bueno cuando sólo había dado menú teniendo la opción de cordero, ternera, pollo y asado. Y eso fue todo el cordero no estaba disponible, así que solo me dieron la opción de 2 comidas y éramos los únicos para comer en el momento. Lo que pasó con el resto del menú solía ser mucho y por eso siempre nos gustaba ir allí, la comida no era o gran sólo comí la carne y yorkie no estoy seguro de si volveremos el personal era educado y amable.

I use The Three Horseshoes as oftern as I can and Have allways been VERRY Satisfied with the food and Service .

Visited for a meal after reading about this beautiful pub online. We were caravanning in the area with friends. Starters were out of this world. Can recommend garlic mushrooms and the leek and potato soup. Then the mains were bought to the table and wow....the Scampi my friend said were the best. My other half had the homemade steak and ale pie and he practically licked the plate clean. The lamb shank just fell off the bone. All in all a wonderful meal finished off with gorgeous sweets. If we were in the area for a bit longer we would definitely go again. But we're hoping the sun will shine long enough for us to get the bbq out before we have to go home. Our other halves can be really cheeky characters at times, but the owners and even a few of the locals took it on the chin and really made us feel welcome. If in the area again we wil pop in.

The pub food on offer is excellent, especially the locally-sourced beef burgers, and on a summers day you cannot beat the gardens and lovely patio area. It's a true village pub. The annual beer festival is a particular highlight!

We called in at lunchtime and it was fairly quiet in the pub. There were two real ales on, Adnam's Lighthouse, and Greene King IPA. The beers were in exceptional condition, some of the nicest beer I have had in a long time.I had ham, egg and chips. My son had a chicken burger. The food was very nice, served quickly and hot.The pub is nicely finished inside and was a very pleasant place to spend a lunchtime. I have no doubt that we will be going back.
