The Three Horseshoes in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Friendly staff, great rooms, and food was fantastic. Loved it.

Not a good place to eat. Would not recommend.

My wife and I returned to The Three Horseshoes for a third time last month having enjoyed a lovely stay at the pub in both 2021 and 2023. Unfortunately the weather let us down for the second year running, so we couldn’t enjoy breakfast and dinner in the beautiful garden, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all. The food has gone up a level under the new chef; every dish we had was superb (with a slightly overcooked egg on my gammon the only blip). Service was excellent on the whole. It really is a special pub, and one that we’ll be returning to regularly.

Great customer service and very tasty meal. Just felt it lacked a bit of ambiance but not sure how it could be improved on… would still recommend

What a hidden gem! We had a fabulous roast dinner, great service from lovely staff and it’s a really lovely venue.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere with very freindly and accomodating staff. Great food with a good selection accross the menu. Highly recommend.

Nice country pub with accommodation well suited to a short stay. Excellent food and some good local beers. Staff friendly and helpful. The beer garden is a superb addition to this hostelry. Would recommend .

Just had an amazing Sunday roast. Highly recommend the red cabbage was stunning could eat a plate full of that and as for the brownie wow just wow. The service outstanding just a lovely experience thankyou. Amy table 10.

Great food and service. Business lunch last week and my clients were suitably impressed. Thank you!

We had the beef and pork . Yorkshires lovely with white and flavoursome red cabbage and roasted carrots all perfectly cooked . The cauliflower cheese was great and good that it is in a separate dish that also keeps it warm as you help yourselves. The wine menu is good and my glass of red complemented my meal while hubby had a good choice on the beers.

Great Sunday lunch ,loads of outdoor seating,huge outdoor TV to watch euros,Olympics etc

We visited tonight fir dinner with friends and have to say the pie was absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff and good range of ales .

Excellent meal. Good company in comfortable setting and good atmosphere. Pork belly starter was very good and the steak and ale pie was even better.

Very disappointing, the food was not up to the usual standard. Perhaps they have again changed the chef. Had fish and chips, chips were soggy and greasy definitely not crispy and fluffy and the fish batter not very nice, comment about the pie was too thick a pastry and could of had more gravy.Music too loud. Such a shame. This was our first meal with the recent change and doubt we will eat there again

Stayed overnight the room was nicely decorated comfortable beds and en suite very clean and tidy food was really good

We phoned very much last minute to try and get a table for 4 and were extremely happy to hear - yes that’s fine! When we arrived it was super busy so many, many thanks for fitting us in. Happy smiling staff looked after us, and our food was just excellent - special mention must be made of the steak and ale pie! The new 1565 beer is also very good, with a charity donation being made for every pint sold. The year is celebrating when the building was built. Would highly recommend - oh, and they have rooms!

The three horseshoes is a bit of a hidden gem, I dont get much time away from work, my daughter booked an over night stay here. All I can say this establishment is a relaxing place to stay. The service, the rooms and especially the food were way above what I had expected from a rural pub.. highly recommended.

This place was recommended to us by the owner of the B&B we are staying at, and I have to say he wasn't wrong. The 'Asian Beef' starter was so good I could have ordered another, and the steak & ale pie main was just as mouthwateringly good. We can highly recommend this place.

Excellent meal,excellent service and good company well done to all concerned.again what can I say,the best,ps chocolate brownies ohhhhh so scrumptious and coffee fabulous.

Beautiful terrace to sit and have coffee. Gardens are well looked after and the coffee was good too!!

We had an absolutely wonderful meal with friends here. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The menu choices were excellent - I struggled to make up my mind! And the food itself was absolutely delicious!! Loved it and hope to go back when we are next in the area ❤️ Also, who did that beautiful painting of the hare??! Just gorgeous!! :)

Recommend everything about here. Food? Superb! Service? Fantastic! Venue? Lovely! Advise booking? Yes. Sunday roast? Gorgeous! Eat. Drink. Stay.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!!!! A one night stay on 3 day bed and breakfast crawl in Norfolk. Staff were exceptional in every way. Greeting on arrival to the rooms and the amazing evening meal and breakfast. Full English was spot on, quality of ingredients, fresh and hot. Pancakes with a fruit selection and honey, and or syrup. As always in hospitality staffing is an issue but you would never know with the service, not just us but everyone got. Front of house staff were attentive and helpful but not to excess. Shame could only give 5 stars.

Had a Sunday roast, bloody marvellous. Live music playing too lovely atmosphere and great food too what’s not to like

Called in for early evening drinks. Very nice decor friendly staff nice selection of drinks.

Honestly, one of the best places to stay around the area. Definitely recommend staying and having the food. Me and my partner had a three course meal each and all was outstanding and presented well. The room we stayed in was very clean, comfy and spacious. The service was exceptional, we felt very welcomed. There’s a fairly large selection of wines with great descriptions, we bought a bottle to enjoy at home.

Today was our second trip to the three horse shoes for dinner. The service was once again amazing, thanks to Hannah and I believe their newest member of staff who was absolutely lovely also. Hannah was definitely the highlight of our visit again! She is so attentive and welcoming. The food both times has been excellent and Hannah has gone out of her way to answer our questions about the menu and recommend dishes to try, we have not yet been recommended one we didn’t like! Lived in Briston for 4 years now and am gutted I didn’t start coming to the three horse shoes sooner. We will definitely be back!

Went for drinks great friendly atmosphere went back for Sunday roast, not so good.

We had Sunday lunch and it was delicious. The atmosphere is very nice. A light, airy room with pleasant decor. I liked the menu but the word ‘proper’ describing the gravy rather grated with me until I spoke to my friend about it who is Norfolk through and through and she told me it was the perfect word!!! I wouldn’t want improper gravy! I had to ask for more…it was, well, proper!!! It all was. Thank you to all the staff and chef.

Really disappointing. Stayed in the Three Horsehoes on a Saturday evening in May 2024. Food very average and overpriced. The reason the review is terrible is because after checking out of our room I realised I'd left my hugo boss gillet, T-shirt and jeans. I emailed to ask if they would look for my items in the room. No response. I called and asked them to look? No response. I chased again to be told they didn't have them. Which is impossible as I know exactly where they were left!! Obviously they have dishonest staff. So please don't bother! Over £350 in stolen items.....

Delicious food. Nicely presented pub both inside & out. Not an extensive menu but a good enough range of choice. The food was very well presented & tasted absolutely delicious. Service was efficient. Comfortable seating, very clean. Shame it was so quiet but it was a Wednesday lunchtime. Hard to judge atmosphere without other diners there but we would definitely return & highly recommend.

Felt very welcome when we stepped through the door, even though we were strangers. Had a comfortable evening . We decided to go for Sunday lunch, was very welcoming again, but sad to say the dinner was awful, the roast potatoes were so hard we could hardly get a knife in them, and vegetables were a lot to be desired. The sweet was lovely. I also had a problem and had to pop in to see them, and even though they were relaxed and fun, they treated me with respect and couldn't have been more helpful. You have a good front of house team.

Stopped for a meal on Monday night. Beef hotpot was dry, overcooked and a measly portion. The waitress said she would tell the kitchen. We were still fully charged for everything. Disappointing. Other dishes were ok but nothing special.

Absolutely lovely pub. staff friendly, food was lovely, we will definitely return

Brilliant staff. Very welcoming and professional. I had an issue with my room and they moved me with no quibble Would definitely stay again

Staying in the village went for drinks the first night then Sunday Lunch, staff extremely friendly food was delicious worth a visit.

we dined here with our long term friends who have move to Edgefield Nr Holt We where looked after by Faith and Kerry Faith was our waitress for the evening and she looked after us well the food was presented very well and was of excellent quality and we would highly commend We and our friends would happily return soon for yet another fine meal the ales where pleasant too the atmosphere was very relaxed and warm and we where made to feel very welcome in the summer this pub would be very busy and would recommend you phon ahead to book a table the gardens look very large and pleasant and would make for relaxed family eating out in the summer Thank you from Ray and Valerie Milsted and Laurence and (Rosemary Claridge Edgefield). look forward to seeing you soon

Had a lovely last minute stay at the Three Horseshoes. Beautiful room & garden and a fantastic evening meal & breakfast. Not far from the coast or Norwich. Highly recommend!

Great food, great service. Lovely cosy atmosphere and family friendly, there everything you need there for a countryside getaway. Make sure to leave some room for the desserts.

As a family we had our Easter lunch at this very friendly place.The food was excellent and the service was impecable

Sunday lunch was best I’ve had in years. Not only that, but the service was impeccable. We are genuinely blown away by the standard here. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Please come and enjoy the fantastic staff and very tasty food!!! 10/10 will come again.

Absolutely Amazing food. Brilliant service, lovely building. In a fantastic village and just could not fault a thing!

Wow what lovely food served here, the roast dinner is a defo a must, compliments to the chef....front of house staff very friendly and accomadating for our party of 9. We will defo come back again with others...thank u for a great Sunday family lunch and get together...

An amazing Sunday vegetarian meal as always. The staff were great. The two young men were attentive and delightful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Well done

Cracking roast and fantastic service. Thanks !

An amazing night stay. Beautiful location, beautiful interior and really funny & helpful staff. Charles was a great host who treated us well. Would recommend 10 times out of 10. Looking forward to coming back

We had the pleasure of staying at The three horseshoes for a night. Lovely spacious room with a super comfy bed and beautiful soft bed linen. We had our evening meal there and chose from the set menu. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We also enjoyed a beautiful breakfast. We would stay again for sure when in the area. Thank you.

What an absolute gem of a place this is 😉 We're on holiday and most the Pub food in the area so far was ok, found the Three Horseshoes by chance, actually were lost 🤣 popped in to see if Lunch was still available and WOW what a reception, great atmosphere, super menu and the Welsh Rarebit is unbelievable, a must visit if your in the area.

Beautiful stay, posh and cozy rooms. Helpful staff. Thanks a lot for the lovely stay!

Fabulous food and beer. Thoroughly enjoyable, great service and good value. Friendly staff, nice punters and delightful surroundings.

We both had dishes from the set menus. Both the main and dessert courses were excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and result was a thoroughly enjoyable meal at a reasonable price.

Food was amazing and the staff was just as good 👌 definitely come back again!

We visited The Three Horseshoes today for the first time and were not disappointed! The service was excellent, friendly and prompt. The food was delicious! Myself & my husband rolled out of there as we were so full! Would definitely recommend to others and would...

Excellent food and attentive staff made for a very pleasant evening. The menu didn’t overwhelm but had plenty of choice.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch for Mothers Day. It was nothing short of spectacular – proper gravy, ginormous Yorkshire pudding and melt in your mouth meat. The warm and inviting atmosphere, coupled with attentive 5* service from the front of house staff made it...

Great dining experience, food was amazing and the service hit the perfect pitch

The pub is in a transitional period, they're trying a few things to accommodate a wider clientele, and the bar staff including Eliyah and Kerry have made me feel very welcome. Having had a couple of Sunday lunches, and a glass of wine here and...

We had a fabulous meal on Friday evening. Staff welcoming, food excellent and very good value. Beautifully presented, well done Chef. I would agree with another review that the lighting could be toned down a bit in the dining area, but a small negative. Well done The Three Horseshoes is a lovely pub and deserves to do well. We will be back.

2024 update: we went back and things had declined greatly. I’m sorry to report the food was average at best. The Staff didn’t seem to care about us at all. I sent a dish back (chicken not cooked through) and was told the chef likes it like that; batter on the fish was like thick dough; fat chips tastes like old potatoes and not crispy and didnt seem fresh. The staff wouldn’t be at all flexible on mixing across menus; had to order extra fries for the kids as the staff wouldn’t swap out chunky fries for chips. The kids couldn’t have the deserts they wanted as they were on the wrong menu I wouldn’t go back.

Heard horror stories about the place over the past few years (overpriced & unfriendly) so we were distinctly underwhelmed and not a little trepidacious to receive a voucher from a friend which obliged us to go. Tut. Sigh... However, we were really rather impressed. They...

Having (last year) given the Three Horseshoes a bad review, today my husband and I re-visited for lunch since we had been told that the pub now had a new chef and was under different management. I'm very happy to say we had an excellent...

Lovely meal at the Three Horseshoes. Everything was spot on. Thank you

Can't falt the place from the gardens to the bedrooms

Nice pub/restaurant with seating in restaurant or bar. Good parking and very nice outside seating area. Staff were friendly and service good. Bit disappointed with the food. The fish and chips for example, lovely piece of fish but chips were not up to standard. Pork...

The food was excellent! The service was good. Despite being a Friday it was very quiet but we would recommend that you go. Would go again.

We took our friends for the Sunday roast today and they said it’s one of the best roast dinners they have had in Norfolk as they visit often. Thanks to the great service especially from Kerry & Gerrie. From the Webbs and The Manning’s. Will definitely be back

We went for fish finger sandwich lunch to try out the new chef and it was amazing! A real step up from the previous chef (which was good) but this was another level with homemade bread, tartar and ketchup and a wonderful salad dressing. Comparable...

Had the best meal this evening with a great group of friends. Service was great thank you and the food was outstanding and full of flavour from Jake the new chef. Highly recommend

Nice tasting food, but too pretentious for Briston locals wanting to have a pub dinner, I don’t want to be eating textures of food , just tell me on the menu what I’m eating, rather than guessing with odd wording, no one need to try...

We walked here from a local holiday cottage. We were greeted with welcome arms, the dogs were absolutely spoiled rotten, and the roast dinners were the best we have ever eaten out. The staff were wonderful, they couldn't do enough for us. This pub comes highly recommended, it's a total gem. We'd like to return!!!

Food was good with a very limited menu and not overpriced. Felt a bit austere though.

There’s no doubt the new chef is promising and we had some interesting and fantastic flavour combinations. Delicious food - for that we would return. It’s a real shame as there’s lots of potential in this restaurant/pub - but the bright lighting really steal the...

There’s no doubt the new chef is promising and we had some interesting and fantastic flavour combinations. Delicious food - for that we would return. It’s a real shame as there’s lots of potential in this restaurant/pub - but the bright lighting really steal the atmosphere, and made it feel quite “cold”. The service is friendly, but sadly lacking - not asked for drinks until we’d been sat down for a while. It’s nice to have a drink while you look at the menu. On the night we went the pub was been virtually empty - I think 6 other people including our party of three - yet at least 3 times we had to wait while our waitress was chatting to others, (not customers) there was a general feeling that we were an after thought. On the whole I would choose other places nearby for the same price.

Really lovely atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Food here punches well above the average pub fare and there is an impressive wine / beer list to help things along. Had steak & ale suet pudding and stone bass as a main with Guinness cake dessert...

We had a fabulous meal at the three horseshoes. My husband said his Korean chicken burger was the best ever burger he had had. My tempura prawns and chicken ballotine were faultless , both absolutely delicious. The service was extremely friendly and very prompt, and...

We ate here with our kids early on New Year’s Eve. The food was outstanding. Few places compare in terms of cooking, service and overall quality.

Went for dinner with friends before Xmas and although it was very quiet, the food was really impressive and the place looked great. Service was very friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend.

Had a delicious lunch here, attentive staff and great food.Thank you

Visited after searching online for nearby pubs that weren’t typical chain ones as wanted a date night venue to chat quietly over nice food. This place looked postcard pretty with all the fairy lights and we had the funniest young man as our waiter -...

This was one of those rare experiences where EVERYTHING was excellent from start to finish for our table of three on Tuesday lunch for a Christmas work meal. We were greeted and shown to our table by the lovely Corey, and were then looked after by the equally lovely Alistair. The service and the food were impeccable, all three of us had the same starter and main. The Christmas sandwich special was stunning, well thought-out, nicely presented and so tasty, especially the sprout slaw!! We loved everything and would highly recommend eating here, you will not be disappointed!

This is a nice pub accommodation close to Thursford. I found the accommodation to be clean, comfortable and with a cozy feel. There was a good hair drier in the room and the shower was the best I’ve ever had with a large walk in...

We were a party of nine in for lunch. From the moment we arrived we were looked after by the staff on duty. The attention was faultless,nothing was too much trouble and the food too, was superb . Three of our party including me had...

Superb accommodation, food and service.

We booked ahead after recommendation from family members. Great service & very nice meal at lunchtime. Varied and quite 'different' menu. Really enjoyed it.

Tastefully decorated, Excellent food and very friendly and helpful staff. Well recommended

Beautiful place and food was delicious, lovely lady that served us thank you for a wonderful day……….

Visited in the pouring rain on our motorbikes and the staff couldn’t be more helpful. Gave us a table/area to put our wet clothing and gear and kept an eye on it while we sat warming up in the restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic...

We had an incredible 1 night stay here after going to the nearby Thursford Christmas Spectacular. The decor, the accommodation and the breakfast are all first class. Cory was great host with fabulous customer service . I am already planning my next visit!!

This place is an absolute gem. The staff are lovely,friendly and welcoming and full of smiles. The food is delicious and the veg cooked to perfection, we were there for dinner and breakfast and they didn't miss a beat. The rooms are beautiful spotlessly clean...

We stayed overnight had dinner and breakfast, home from home, excellent, comfortable well thought out for all your needs, staff excellent, would stay again. Brilliant Mr & Mrs Norman

One of our favourite pubs, a lovely beer garden. Fantastic food and very good friendly staff. Menu changes often so always something lovely to try.

We have been to this pub on quite a few occasions (albeit for lunch) and have recommended it to many local friends living in Norfolk. Until last night, we have never been disappointed. What a disaster the evening was. The menu was so uninspiring, so...

My wife and myself booked for an early dinner Friday evening. Upon arriving we received a very warm welcome and another member of staff showed us to our table. Without asking chilled water and glasses were set at the same time as seating. The menu...

Beautiful exterior that was reflected by the inside. Dog friendly, excellent friendly service. We both had the Hake on a bed of curry. Hake was cooked to perfection. Vegetables were spot on also. On our list to visit next time we come to the area.

I went as one of a family party of 29 people for Sunday Lunch. They had asked us to pre-order our food which was a good idea.We ordered for sitting down ant 1.00pm and almost to the dot they started serving it. There was a...

After embarking on a spontaneous overnight trip to Briston, we had the pleasure of dining at The Three Horseshoes. Our evening was graced by the warm presence of our waitress, Gerrie, who delivered service of exceptional caliber. Gerrie was not only attentive and friendly but...

Nice restaurant and and bar there is also a very well thought out garden area if you prefer to eat outside. We had a warm welcome and the service was excellent and friendly. We both enjoyed our food which was well presented with generous portions....

Excellent Eating Experience What a brilliant find.....we had a delicious lunch. Excellent value for money. One to return to 😁😁

My wife and I returned to The Three Horseshoes last month having enjoyed a lovely stay at the pub in July 2021. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t as good this time, so we couldn’t enjoy breakfast and dinner in the beautiful garden, but the accommodation, food...

Great marriage of front and back of house, great company, tasty and aromatic food, splendid atmosphere. Whether a couple or a family, the team look after everyone so well. We found and stayed here last year, a few times, whilst looking to move to Norfolk.,...
