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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

Very generous portion of sticky toffee pudding which was delicious (my first one ever!!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!

Called in after our visit to the American Cemetery,had a drink outside in the sun,we had a table booked inside for dinner.Enjoyed our meal apart from the risotto which was part of the meal we found it too runny and not much taste apart from that we enjoyed the food .The service was just ok ,our server was a little hesitant at times not quite sure if she understood what we were ordering .And 10% tip was £17 I think we were expecting spot on service ,it fell short of that.loved the location and I would go back again because it is a nice establishment

Lunch was as usual good as was the service. The environment was nice even though we were in the bar rather than the restaurant, I think there was a function in the restaurant. It was disappointing that we were charged an extra £1.90 for not having ice in each coke that our designated driver had. The explanation was that as there was no ice out in they had to add more coke, this was coke from the pump.

Booked a table after recommendation from friends. Arrived a little late but the staff were very understanding and we had a drink before going to the table. The food was absolutely Devine and very well presented. I had the fish of the day which happened to be sea bream, excellently cooked and seasoned. We all had a wonderful evening and I thoroughly recommend the place, gardens are lovely and well kept, staff are very friendly and the chefs can obviously cook!

We decided to go out and eat on Sunday evening and luckily it wasn’t too busy! We booked a table easily online. The service was good and food was exceptional. I had the swordfish and it was so well cooked and full of flavour. My partner had the beef roast which he thoroughly enjoyed. Good choice of drinks and cocktails. The sticky toffee pudding to finish was delicious! Would definitely recommend and we will be returning. Lovely setting, especially on a summers day!

This was our second visit in three weeks and was every bit as good as the first. Pleasant surroundings, good service and very enjoyable food, the Scotch duck egg made an excellent starter, the roast lamb was excellent and only the rather bland risotto served with the trout was a little disappointing. Altogether a most pleasing experience befitting an anniversary celebration and family get together.

We’ve passed this place and considered visiting many times but for some reason never quite made it, until now. We experienced a pleasant environment, a varied menu, good service and a much calmer feeling than similar restaurants in the nearby city.

We visited the Three Horseshoes last night for dinner for my Mum's birthday. It was their pudding night and we had a wonderful main course followed a selection of 5 very different, delicious puddings. The men in our party all enjoys a pop up BBQ. The cider on tap was a big success. The service was very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our visit. I would definitely recommend.

Found this little gem whilst we were staying nearby and had a drive around to find somewhere to eat on a Friday night. Although they were quite busy and we hadn't booked they managed to fit us in. Staff were great, very friendly and also efficient. I wasn't really hungry so wasn't really looking forward to it but the food was fabulous. The thyme and potato cake that came with my chicken was delicious, we'll it was all delicious. Lovely beer garden and they had a barbecue set up at the front of the pub. Amble parking and set in a pretty village but only a couple of miles outside Cambridge. If we're in the area again we will definitely return here.

Booked for 5.00pm and welcomed nicely. Only a partial menu before 6.00pm but we shared arancini which had a fresh tomato sauce. My wife had a hunter’s bowl of salad with chicken, which she enjoyed. I went for the open salmon and cheese sandwich on focaccia bread with chips and coleslaw. Turned out to be very good.
