The Three Horseshoes in South Cambridgeshire

Six of us, old school friends going back over seventy years, meet here for lunch at this delightful venue every six months. During our last visit on 8th October, we all enjoyed an excellent lunch served up in generous quantities. The staff were very attentive and looked after us very well, with a special mention for Rachel who really knows what customer service is all about. Needless to say, we are all looking forward to our next reunion lunch at The Three Horseshoes in Madingley.

Having heard good things about The Three Horseshoes we decided to give it a go. Everything about our experience was positive. The staff were incredibly attentive, food tasty, we had the set lunch. Must importantly it is wheelchair accessible. Entrance via a ramp, which is put down on request. The entrance to the restaurant is a bit tight, but there is enough room for a standard size wheelchair. Good disabled toilet, which was big enough and clean. I couldn't see any disabled parking, but the car park was very full. Would return again.

Superb meal – well thought-out menu; great combination of flavours; cooked perfectly. One of the best meals out we've had in the area. The restaurant was lovely and not too noisy. Staff were fantastic. I have no negative comments at all. We had a really wonderful meal out.

Needed somewhere for an early supper when visiting the area with my 80 year old Mum. From the minute we walked in everything impressed. Clean, tidy decor , Staff team working together ( our waitress was very helpful and friendly without being overly attentive and pushy ) the beer was great and the food delicious! Mum said “ This is the sort of place we like, especially as the children here are well behaved” which sums up the clientele too , I guess. Will be back when we visit Cambridge again.

Popped in on a Sunday for lunch and luckily got a table in the bar . 4 of us had a roast dinner which was delicious. Would definitely return if in the area again . We were on our way back from Stansted so probably will be back !

It’s hard to fail at a restaurant owned by Cambs Cuisine and under their management. The restaurants are well kept, the staff are incredibly attentive and clearly hand selected from good families in and around Cambridge, and the food selections are well thought out. I regularly drink at the Three Horseshoes with a friend and we are always welcomed despite us only having 1 or 2 drinks and no food. So I didn’t hesitate to book a table for lunch with my partner on our way home from a quick shopping trip in the city. Despite a late lunch booking, the service didn’t fault, the food was fresh, cooked with care and service was good. The only negative was the atmosphere and the bar full of collected empties waiting to be washed but I’m really just clutching here… Thanks for a nice lunch.

Dinner with my partner for her birthday with her parents. Very friendly, attentive service and very good food. Would happily recommend.

Food very average, starter of their soft shell crab very basic, small, over cooked, no garnish, salad ordered as a main very small, staff nice and garden pleasant to sit in

I was advised this was a good place to go for lunch Lovely staff and no issues with them but the food!!! I asked for a pastrami sandwich Now I’m not looking for a New York style stuffed to the gunnels sandwich but I got ………… One slice of pastrami and not a thick juicy slice but a wafer thin one like you get in Tesco. Absolutely disgusting I did mention this to the barman but I wasn’t paying so didn’t labour it too much but come on I repeat one thin wafer thin slice

Another fabulous family meal at The Three Horseshoes. Great service, lovely atmosphere, and fantastic kitchen staff. I love trying the different menus that Chef Jack and his team create throughout the year. Until next time!

We came as a group of 22 for a wake, the staff were amazing, the buffet first class and despite what should have been a sad occasion we left feeling well fed, relaxed and much happier.

A wonderful evening spent with friends enjoying great food and some of the best service I’ve had in a long while. A must visit if you’re in the area.

It was off to a great start from parking - it was busy but clearly an ample car park; no fighting to find a space! Lovely building and lots of interesting artwork on the walls. Clean throughout. Brilliant atmosphere. We didn't sit outside but it looked like a great area. Staff were all welcoming, friendly, prompt, and efficient. Great selection of dishes, specials and drinks, all of which was tasty. I'd thoroughly recommend The Three Horseshoes.

Very pretty pub with nice outside space and garden Went for lunch and chose set menu at 19.50 Service was slow despite saying we were there for lunch break only and time was of the essence The food was tasty but with small portions.

Just enjoyed a thoroughly delicious dinner in the lovely surroundings of this pub’s beer garden. Such a great spot for lunch. A friendly & welcoming atmosphere & a good menu choice. I had the salmon fillet, which I would definitely recommend. A really enjoyable experience.

Popped in for a drink with a friend. Friendly and welcoming staff, clear directions when we arrived and felt safe. Sat outside the front of the pub, a great spot to watch the world go by. Will be back for food soon!

We collected our take away package on Christmas Eve, followed the clearly explained instructions and had a very tasty Christmas lunch. Better than cooking by numbers. Delightfully thought through with the full works from starters to the cheese course. The wine was good as well! This could become our default option in years to come. Would appreciate a fish option of some sort next time.

Great Friday night dinner. Excellent customer service, friendly, effective and efficient. Beautiful food, full of great flavours, piping hot all eaten in a warm friendly atmosphere combined to make a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you. Will definitely be back.

Travelling through Cambridge and were very hungry! Managed to make a last minute reservation at this place on a Thursday evening and were even a bit late! It was busy and the bar staff were working so hard! Couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly though! The menu was great and the food delicious! So glad we went!

We had a lovely meal. I'm a coeliac, but their gluten free menu has almost everything the normal menu has.We had Tandoori Monkfish Tail with bombay potatoes, coconut curry sauce, pak choi and sesame rice cracker. Delicious. That was gluten free anyway, so required no changes.Then I succumbed to a Sticky Toffee Pudding with butterscotch sauce, vanilla ice cream. Again, that was gluten free anyway and the portion was huge. I needed help to finish it.All the servers wore masks, but otherwise it was as normal as a restaurant can be in these strange times.

Spacious car park. COVID measures clearly in place and being followed. Highlight was slow cooked venison and try the root vegetables with cumin and fennel seeds. Good French wine list with the addition of Chapel Down sparkling wine a bonus though the Addams cider was pretty special too! The food was excellent and this gastro pub deserves to be much busier than it is. Well worth a visit.

My partner and I met a friend for food and drinks on a Saturday afternoon. We were promptly served by very friendly staff and took our drink orders straight away. I had a wonderful bloody mary and the fellas had some beers. We had olives and cauliflower fritters for a starter, both were excellent. I had a delicious vegetarian mezze board and my partner had the slow cooked venison. The venison dish was a very hearty size and cooked to absolute perfection...moist, tender, and full of flavor! We had previously had an unfortunate experience with take out but this more than made up for it! On top of that after coming back previously we were given a complimentary drink, a gesture we very much appreciated. We look forward to coming back soon!

Evening meal for 2 on Wednesday evening. Tables well spaced apart and very Covid aware. Menu choice excellent and the quality is superb. Haggis fritters are a delight and the sausage choices great ( spicy Italian ). Tandoori Monkfish tail is outstanding. Choice of drinks very good along with attentive service. Reasonable pricing too.

We had been recommended this restaurant by the hotel we were staying at. The location is great and would be very picturesque in the summer time when the nights are longer.Great menu- had the venison which was delicious along with root vegetables- although didn’t really need them as portions are well sized - but the twist of toasted cumin seeds and fennel meant that we devoured them. No room for a sweet so next time would sacrifice the starter. House white lovely and dry and they stock Chapel Down - what more could you want.Very reasonably priced for good quality food.

Went to this gem of a pub for a meal, and we weren't disappointed! Friendly, efficient staff! Varied menu! Delicious three course meal with great house wine! Would definitely recommend this great pub to friends and family! Probably one of the best meals we've had for a long time!!

Inventive menu, which makes you wish it was your local, so you could eat your way through it.Also wine in carafes, which helps if you don’t want a bottle. Light airy environment and nice garden and marquee. Situated in pretty thatched village, convenient for Cambridge Colleges that are north of the city.

This was an excellent meal, with attentive and friendly service. Good Covid-19 precautions. Many thanks.

Our second visit here en famille with dog. My previous review last year was generally positive but not effusive. This time, we sat in the bar area to accommodate the pup, and the whole thing was very good. Super-friendly and efficient service. The food was all very satisfactory; I had a selection of sausages, served with buttery chive mash, cabbage and onion gravy (there’s a choice of sausages, mashes (?), and gravies). The bangers were delicious - among the best I can remember - so I would highly recommend. Indeed, all of our chosen dishes were well-received. Decent value too, having the 3-course lunch menu at £22. We were all happy, and full, campers.

We were in the area for an overnight stay and booked in for dinner on Saturday evening. Excellent food, great service, very Covid compliant. We had walked from where we were staying and the waiter who looked after us suggested we cut through the American cemetery as it would safer than walking on the road in the dark. Great tip and we made it back safely, thanks!

Well where do I start??? Visited here with friends who use this restaurant often and I can see why. The food was to die for. The atmosphere was wonderful - the ambience was just breathtaking and the staff were very attentive.

We had the usual excellent meal and service but were astounded when my friend's dessert arrived. She'd ordered an affogato. There was a lit candle in the ice-cream and 'Happy birthday' written in chocolate on the plate. I had not told the staff it was her birthday but ha d simply mentioned it in passing to our server. Five stars for customer service.

Lovely atmosphere, well thought out planning of seating, Good to see staff all following COVID guidelines, Food was lovely, Had nut roast & it was probably one of the best I have experienced! Will definitely be returning & recommending to friends & family. Thanks for a lovely Sunday dinner experience!

I've been here numerous times, and each time has been wonderful. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.They've upgraded the menu since originally opening, which upped the quality of an already fantastic restaurant.There's plenty of Covid measures in place so that you feel safe and secure, all servers wearing face masks, distanced tables, hand sanitizer everywhere, and a one-way system in place to aid distancing.Homemade sausages and pies are a must-try, and incredibly reasonably priced.

Had some great takeaways from them. Excellent fish, burger, sausage and mash. The Peanut Butter Parfait, with malteser cookie crumb, whipped yoghurt, pickled strawberries was one of the best sweets I’ve ever had.

We took advantage of the restaurants continuation of the eat out scheme. We were greeted by a wonderful man, unfortunately I didn’t catch his name. The service was prompt throughout the whole evening. The starters were good, the Feta tart was a little dry. The main courses were fantastic, both the cod and sea bass dishes.

Came family of four for a weekday lunch - service, food and atmosphere were as good as can be. Just perfect.

The Three Horseshoes is well organised, with really helpful and attentive staff. The food is imaginative and a high quality. Loved the haggis bites and pork scratchings. Good portion sizes, really enjoyed all of it and will definitely go again

Excellent lunch today. Highlight was sausage and mash, sounds pretty boring, but not the way The Three Horseshoes does it. Variety of choice of sausages, mash and sauces. I chose pork sausages made with Italian spices, Hemingford mash (made with horseradish and mustard) and onion gravy. All just superb, best sausage and mash I have had (apart from my mum's and wife's of course!!!)Sticky toffee pudding less so, not great but OK. All in all good, will be back soon, and probably have the same sausage and mash if it is on the menu

Great mid week date night.....Arranged to meet up with friends here for a mid week date night.... Welcomed by friendly staff and shown to our table.Drinks ordered and starters, pork scratching was fabulous Good wine recommended and steak cook to perfection.Only one teenie request, please could the benches have cushions, just a bit hard on the bottom after 2.5 hours eating, drinking and enjoying company of friends, almost felt like the old normal....Well down to all the staff, thank you

great lunch on a sunny monday in the garden. We arrived at noon as they opened, as did everyone else. Unsurprisingly, the food took a little while to come given that everyone had ordered at once but once it did it was beautiful. The food was beautifully cooked and the menu diverse enough for any fussy eaters. Great selection of beers and ciders etc. Staff were friendly and professional. overall, very reasonably priced, and with eat out to help out I think we will be back most weeks! Would whole heartedly recommend.

Called in here last night on the way back to Madingley Hall where we are staying. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was busy and had a lovely buzz to it. Very aesthetically pleasing too with candles and lights outside. The deck chairs are a great alternative to the benches too.

Booking couldn't have been easier, including a last minute alteration. Organisation is so thoughtful with shade maximised in the beautiful garden. The staff are faultless - the hottest day of the year and they really couldn't have been more accommodating, especially in their very hot (but very stylish) masks. The food was delicious. Everything made our long-distance family meet-up perfect. Thank you xx

First time visiting here and I do highly recommend it, the food is amazing and the service is really good, The staff are very warm and friendly, we will be going back.

This was the first meal out that my boyfriend and I had after lockdown and we were really pleased. The service was great, all staff were really friendly and chatty and it felt very safe with the precautions that had been taken. We commented on how it felt normal! Very generous portion of sticky toffee pudding which was delicious (my first one ever!!) I’ve been to The Three Horseshoes a few times before but it was my boyfriends first time and he commented on how nice it was with lots of options and places to sit. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

I enjoyed the overall experience, the location is beautiful and the food was very nice. I'm not fussy with service so I won't complain, but we did have to wait a fair time between being served. What ruined the experience was to find a 10% tip automatically added to the bill, and a £1 donation to a charity nobody told us about. I understand these are "discretionary" and can be removed if requested, but this trend of adding an automatic tip relies on people not wanting to handle the awkward situation if asking for it to be removed and looking like a bad person. A tip should be an optional extra that a customer can decide to leave to show their appreciation for staff who go above and beyond. An automatic tip not only removes this option, but pressurised tips out of customers who may not have felt it was warranted.Stop adding automatic tips. Especially for small groups/couples. Pay your staff for their service, we'll pay for the food.

This was our first meal out together since March and we were not disappointed! We started with the Haggis Fritters which were, as always, delicious! The burger with jalapeño beer cheese was sooo tasty and the Sticky Toffee pudding with gooey bits of dates in - yum. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was top notch. All the staff were wearing masks and there was sanitise stations all around the restaurant, making us feel that they are taking all procedures seriously and made us feel very safe. We can’t wait to return.

First meal out with my wife since lock down started and we were both glad we chose the three horseshoes. Food was excellent and we both felt the measures they had introduced made us feel safe and comfortable. Will be back soon.

So nice to be able to return to this lovely country pub, for a cold pint & a few nibbles. The Smökevurks beer is my favourite & goes very well with the pressed chicken & apricot terrine (that’s what we just had!). I love the outside space at this pub & the new marquee looks great. We’ll be back soon.

Amazing place, friendly staff. Plenty of outdoor space and parking. We had a very pleasant Sunday with couple of pints and chunky chips. The birthday vegan chocolate cake tasted amazing! We will be back! *****

Food is not great as usual, duck parcel pastry looks like a kid made it, floppy, poor pastry skim, come to the main dish, worse than I cooked myself at home. plate is cold and vegetable is overcooked. Condiments and presentations are nothing special that pub food. Beans and artichoke tasted like being reheated. Food isn’t that bad but price for the brand Cambcusine and price are something that put me off. Service charge is compulsory, not recommend.

Attended with friends on a Friday evening, after being recommended by friends. All was very atmospheric, and the service and food were spot on ( perfecto!) As a first meal out after lockdown, we were very pleased regarding the efforts made following the government guidelines. My friends and I are all in agreement we will be returning for food and drinks in the spacious luxurious garden. Would 100% recommend the sticky toffee pudding as it was delicious.

I decided to try a takeaway meal from the recently reopened Three Horseshoes and was left thoroughly disappointed. We arrived at the designated collection time and were told the food would be brought out to us. Waited outside the restaurant for 15 mins before going back inside to check on the order - found it sitting unattended on the bar. The barman said he "thought it was our food" but seemed unsure. We live less than 1 minute from the restaurant, but by the time we arrived home the food was cold and needed to be reheated! The ice cream for the sticky toffee pudding had been inexplicably replaced with double cream. I returned to the bar and was told that they don't do ice cream with takeaway orders. The barman also assured me that the food had been delayed because it was still being cooked when we originally arrived. This was patently untrue since the food was cold. I ordered the beef burger, which was overly salted and served on a hard unappetising bun, with cold soggy fries on the side. My partner had the jerk tofu skewer, which was satisfactory but cold. Dessert included, the total cost was £35, which I feel is exorbitant since half of the meal ended up in the bin. As a local resident I wanted to do my part to support their business. However, after this experience I won't be in a hurry to go back any time soon.

I do want to support our local pubs (Black Horse, Three Horseshoes and the Plough) now that they can open again. However, I'm also not keen on catching Covid-19.A Sunday lunchtime pint seemed to be a good starting place and we popped in when cycling between Coton and Dry Drayton. The service was friendly and the one way system clearly marked.A decent pint of Southwold and some interesting (in a good way) crisps.Good luck to all our pubs!

Very quiet lunchtime, good service but food was disappointing. Had read lots of positive reviews, and decided to choose this restaurant as a half way meeting point, for meeting up with relatives. We both travelled an hour and fifteen minutes to get to the restaurant and were all looking forward to it. Sat in the bar area. It was cold. Log burner was lit but just sat and smouldered for the two hours we were there. It was a cold and miserable day so a cosy feel would have made it a warmer welcome. The restaurant says it offers a good vegetarian selection but we found it poor. The caramelised onion, spinach and mushroom tart was awful. The pastry wasn’t cooked on the bottom and everything on the tart looked overcooked. Half the plate was covered in potatoes, there was a small spinach and radish salad and a few peas. Very unappetising. There was gnocchi on the menu and a salad with tofu or halloumi. Not a great choice. Other diners had roast beef salad, fennel seed crusted pork tenderloin and king prawn linguine which everyone enjoyed. Desserts were disappointing too. Lots to choose from. Tapioca was served cold, poached peach wasn’t poached for long enough and the sticky toffee pudding was heavy and dry. Maybe my expectations were too high. Vegetarians rarely have a lot of choice on menus, but if the meal is cooked well it makes up for it. Won’t be choosing this restaurant for our next get together.

Prompt service by very friendly and attentive staff on a busy Saturday evening. Food was excellent. My husband had the steak and said it was amazing and was one of the best meals he had eaten in a restaurant. Beautiful and clean restaurant in a lovely setting.

Really enjoyable meal - so much more than we expected .Just popped in for a pub lunch , but the food is so much more.Took the dog into the bar and the staff were very accommodating . We have Steak & Ale pies which were very filling and most enjoyable .We will return

As a large group of five adults and six children I was a bit apprehensive about the restaurant accommodating us for Sunday lunch. Upon arrival we were seated by the friendly staff on a large table in the corner of the bar, perfect for our group size. The children all had a sheet with games and colouring in delivered by the staff with a good selection of crayons and pencils. The older children spotted some board games in the corner and settled on connect four to keep them amused. This gave us the time to select from the drinks and food menu in peace.The food itself was excellent when it arrived, with a great choice for the children, particularly the children’s roast dinner. Extra gravy and Yorkshire pudding requests were all granted by the friendly staff.Overall an excellent visit which will not be our last.

no wonder you have to book this up in advance, great sevive, extensive menu. good selection of real ales, huge wine list, and cocktails

We were staying at Rectory Farm five minutes away. My cousin (who lives in Cambridge) recommended we try here and we are so pleased we did.Fantastic welcome as soon as we entered by lovely staff. We started with a drink in the bar with a roaring fire. They have a nice cocktail menu and I was pleased when the bar man informed me they do espresso martinis (my favourite). He even offered me three types. I was even happier when I tasted it (not always easy to get these right) it was delicious.The great service continued in the restaurant by all the staff. Food was excellent, I had the guinea fowl and my husband the steak pie. I finished off with sticky toffee pudding which came on a plate saying happy birthday with a candle, a really nice touch.Thank you to all the staff for making my birthday dinner such a lovely one! If we come back to Cambridge we will most definitely return. Highly recommend!!!!!!

We haven't been to the Three Horseshoes for years, but decided to go for their Valentines Special - £45 each for 3-course meal. We both opted for scallops (good generous portions), beef Wellington (like a Cornish pastie cut in half between the two of us) then creme brulee.Great food and service - it's just a shame that it's so far out of town. But worth the effort and we'll be back!

Just been for a very enjoyable dinner at this friendly local country pub. It was Pie Night & both being big fans of these, we were very keen to attend. My husband had the Steak & Ale pie with mash & vegetables & I had chicken & mushroom with chips. Both were very generous portions with plenty of filling with the pastry crisp & well baked. I was particularly impressed as my pie even had a pastry base & sides too - a proper pie! All in all a really enjoyable dinner & we’ll watch out again for other mid-week themed nights.

Excellent food, and company! The pub has a lovely cosy atmosphere, and the landlady in particular was gorgeous! Highly recommended!

A cheeky midweek lunch to escape the house, work & Christmas preparations, excellent idea. We sat in the cozy bar area and enjoyed a delightful lunch, really good wines and beer selection and were left alone to have a great catch up, but looked after superbly by the team. We both had the open sandwiches, salmon & beef, both delicious with tasty garnish, want to try it again in Spring, another excellent out of town foodery.

Service very slow on a Saturday evening, even the drinks took ages! Not fully booked so I don't know why so slow.

What a wonderful find this place was! We were staying at Madingley Hall and had been recommended The Three Horseshoes for dinner .. we arrived just before dinner started and were given a lovely table in the front bar. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, from the young man serving at the bar to the lovely girl who served our meal with warmth and a fantastic smile. The menu was really interesting and varied, a nice change from the usual generic pubs. Delicious food and drinks, delivered quickly, really excellent atmosphere. Highly recommended.

When we booked we hadn’t realised the menu for our particular evening was to be entirely ‘plant based’. So we weren’t quite sure what to expect when we arrived except in a general sense. We needn’t have worried. We had a very enjoyable and new experience.

Needing to kill a bit of time before an appointment, I went into the Three Horseshoes for a solo lunch. I was seated in the bar area, though I also had the option of the restaurant. The bar area was warm and pleasant, and not very loud. The service was exemplary and all the dishes excellent. Chicken and pistachio terrine followed by the Lincolnshire sausages and mash special, and I succumbed to the treacle tart dessert. This was from the a la carte menu; there is also a 2-3 course set lunch menu on weekdays. I would happily eat there again! The parking was also very easy.

We enjoyed a meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary last night. We had a very friendly welcome, and the service was outstanding. The food was of the highest quality. We have used the restaurant a number of times over the past year and have never been disappointed.

New Year's Day lunch seems to be a busy time to eat but I got the sense that every day is busy at the Three Horseshoes.

We meet with our friends twice a year at the three hourseshoes for a catch up and lunch. We choose there because it's a good meeting point with a high standard of food and service .Iam not sure what has happened in 6 months but the food offering was poor from start to finish, maybe it was a bad day for the chef or a new chef. service was still of a high standard and tried to rectify the mistakes Real shame

Bright winter’s day with a festive feel lent an agreeable tinge to our lunch visit. Felt well-organised, although (smiley) service was a little slow (1h 45m for a regular 3-course service). Dishes generally viewed as “very nice” rather than yum. My venison special had evidently been under the hot lamp for a while, as the meat was a bit over and sauce dried to the plate, but nonetheless the butteriness of the veg survived. (Not sure why not taking the tops off carrots is considered gastronomic). Typically punchy gastropub pricing at £34/head with one alcoholic drink. But overall a decent effort and I would probably visit again.....just.

Perfect evening. We live nearby and came here after reading the reviews. We were 6 and had a wide variety of dishes. Sizes a bit on the small side - but my were they delicious. And the best part - room for outstanding desert. Pub has a cozy feel in the bar area, there is also a nice restaurant area that fits quite a few people. Will be back.

Had the Boxing Day menu table was booked for 1pm with per orderd food at £40 per head !! we hadn’t even got our coats off and the starters were on the table.. I had to go and see the manager to put the brakes on. We finished the starters and didn’t even have our drinks on the table. I know I asked for a delay in having the mains but asking after an hour are they coming out. I had the beef 2 hard carrots fresh hard parsnip cubes 2 slices of beef 3 hard potatoes dribble of gravy we asked for some more but this never turned up... the table look like something from joes cafe.. we paid £464 for 9 people quite frankly it was a rip off .. service and food shocking.. sorry if you can’t do it , don’t do it next time stay shut on Boxing Day..

I always think that the real test of any restaurant is whether the standards can be maintained when the chips are down and it is really busy. They certainly were on Wednesday at T3H.

The restaurant is about 3 miles from Cambridge and close to the American Cemetery, in the small village of Madingley. The pub has a proper old-fashioned bar and then the restaurant, which is spacious and airy. We went for dinner in December, so the very dim lighting made reading the menu difficult, but the friendly waitress was clearly used to this and gave us a small portable light to use for the evening.

Just enjoyed a delicious dinner at this cosy country pub (even brought our dog too!). We sat in the bar area next to the fire & it felt really homely & welcoming. I’ve eaten here before & nearly always choose a fish dish as it never disappoints. I chose the hake fillet this time & it was a good choice. Served on a bed of crushed new potatoes with broccoli stems on the side. Yum! I saved room for dessert as I saw they had a gooseberry Eve’s pudding on the Specials board & that’s one of my faves. It was just delish! So nice to go to a genuine village pub, serving home cooked meals all day. A nice way to end a lazy Sunday. A really lovely evening as always, so I will definitely be back soon.

I picked this restaurant for a 2nd date! ... the atmosphere, staff, service and food was excellent... lovely wine and coffee... We both enjoyed the evening and we were one of the last to leave.. I would strongly recommend this restaurant... a bit pricey, however, the gentleman paid for both of us... just to let you know... there wasn’t a 3rd date! ... it’s complicated! ...

We parked near the doorway , mum is not very mobile .Very nice looking pub staff helpful . we ordered out drinks and food . I had beef and ale pie Mum had some fish .

Been here before for various family get together, and today went for mother in-laws 90th birthday meal. The ambience was, as usual quite good, and the service was good. We were a party of 12. The starter I had, chicken terrine, was quite nice and presented well. My main, good old roast beef Sunday dinner would have been much nicer I imagine if it had been warmer , and I found the bee quite tough. My husband had beef ravioli which again was luke warm. Cost wise on the expensive side, £550 for the 11 of us( the baby had her own food brought in). That was including some wine and alcoholic drinks though of the 10 adults 5 were driving and so stuck to soft drinks. The birthday girl seemed to enjoy herself which was the main thing but not sure I would drive thee again from Lincolnshire for Sunday lunch

We had a light meal in the bar area. We just had starters and sides. Quite nice. We felt that mains were a little pricy. The service was quick and friendly.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had in years !!!! London doesn’t deliver Great surroundings too and wonderful staff xxx

We were a group of four adults with a table booked for 115pm. We arrived on time and were given a table at the end of the bar - convenient but noisy. The a la carte menu is extensive and interesting. We each had a starter plus main (total cost £107.50) and we shared a bottle of west Australian chardonnay (£27.00). Including the automatic, but "discretionary" 10% service charge made our total bill £147.95. The food was all tasty and the portions were generous. With hindsight, I should have ordered only two starters because I could not finish my main (stuffed guinea fowl). The serving staff were friendly and efficient. Obviously, a popular place because it was very busy while we were there.

We have been here before and it has always been good. Busy but efficient and the food was excellent. Squid as a starter which was fresh and very soft to eat. The roasts, which I can’t avoid on a Sunday we’re really well cooked with flavoured gravy that was so moorish. A range of vegetables that were crisp with firm roast potatoes. Others had fish which was equally well received. A wide choice of wines and good value for money. Staff made it all good. Very friendly and efficient despite a busy lunchtime.

Had a lovely relaxed meal here on a cold wet Saturday night in November. The welcome was warm and genuine from all the staff. We had booked the restaurant but were offered the opportunity to stay and be served by the log fire if we wanted. We went through tho as it was just as cosy in there. The menu is not vast but ample choice plus specials are available. Tenderloin pork was melt in the mouth. Good choice of wines. Shared a sticky toffee pudding with my other half...wish I'd had room for a whole one as it was so light and delicious! All in all, a very satisfying evening. would definitely recommend and return! Thank you

I have been to the Three Horseshoes a few times now and each time I leave with a full belly! The service is welcoming, waiters are lovely and food is amazing! Not too expensive for a nice roast in the lovely idiclic location of Madingly.

We came to celebrate our son's birthday. We were made to feel welcome and the staff were friendly. The food was very well presented and absolutely delicious. One had the haggis fritters and one had the game terrine for starters. For our main courses, two had the beef pie, two had the guinea fowl and one had the risotto. The three men were able to manage puddings too! Everyone enjoyed their dinners very much. Our son was made to feel special as his sticky toffee pudding came with a candle and Happy Birthday iced on the plate. An excellent evening, thank you!

Lovely little place, candle on the table, complimentary bread butter, friendly staff and a lovely meal. Really enjoyed trying haggis fritters, very nice and the roast pork was spot on.

Went here as a group of 15 (10 adults and 5 babies aged between 4 and 6 months), we had booked in advance and they had arranged it so we had a large area in the bar section away from other people with all the extra room needed for prams/sitting to feed etc. They had been incredibly helpful in regards to allergies, going as far as changing cooking oils and offering to source a different ice cream in order to accommodate an allergy need. It made me feel very well catered for and gave me options which normally I would not be able to have.

Nice Pub lunch with a large menu. They pride themselves on fish and I tried their signature crusted Hake. This was tasty but very small at £18.50. No interest when I mentioned this.

I was very taken with the smoked haddock and linguine starter which was unusual and extremely tasty. For my main, I chose fish of the day (which was stone bass) beautifully cooked and presented, which came on a bed of crisp, roasted baby potatoes and accompanied by broccoli. It was nice to be able to order a 500cl carafe of wine from the wine list and not be limited to a house wine. The service was excellent and we had an enjoyable evening. The menu is quite extensive but a little fancy. J's preferred choices came with either mustard mash or red wine jus, neither of which are family favourites. We are old fashioned and love a nice creamed potato and prefer a simple gravy but that's us! Nevertheless we managed to find a selection of starters to make up a first and second course and had an enjoyable meal. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert which was a pity as there looked to be some nice dishes on offer.

Hadn’t eaten here for quite a while and was very pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. I had an amazing fish dish which was very fresh and tasty and a poached pear for pudding which was done perfectly. Well worth a visit. The bar area is particularly welcoming with an open fire and friendly bar staff

Good beer, staff, ambience & food. A beautiful village. Roast potatoes the only component not perfect. A bit pricey though.

A thatched country style pub with excellent food and drinks. Four of us ate very well and were looked after brilliantly.

I'd booked this restaurant on our way home from an anniversary get away as it was on our way home and I have been to a number of the Camb Cuisine pubs and restaurants and all have had dog friendly areas.

The main courses and desserts at the Three Horseshoes are delicious. I would recommend the duck and also the ‘Sticky Toffee Pudding.’ Customer service is also excellent.

Wife and I took the family, seven in all, here for dinner. Nice location in an attractive village a few miles from Cambridge.

The Three Horseshoes is always a sure bet when planning a celebration meal, and this was no exception. Sunday lunch was excellent as were the entrée (a soft-boiled scotch duck egg in my case) and the desert (I’m a sucker for sticky toffee pudding and this did not disappoint!). Full marks for friendly service and delicious food. Can’t recommend this place more highly!

Great food and taste combinations, good portions and plated properly, good service and a comprehensive wine list correctly noted

My Mum and I enjoyed a very chilled afternoon at the three horseshoes summer fete! A few lovely stalls with a brass band played in the summer sun! The staff were very friendly and helpful!

Had a recent night away with work and we wandered down to the Three Horses.
