The Three Horseshoes in Chichester

I would highly recommend this pub for food, garden and views of south downs and service will definitely be returning

What a unique and quaint English pub, the owners are lovely people with taste, and a love for chickens of which there are 10 or so just roaming free in the garden (the garden is clean and well maintained) Everything about my trip was great and I really can't wait to visit in a more leisurely capacity as unfortunately I was just stopping by

Popped in here on the recommendation of a friend yesterday for the first time , what a gem , beautiful surroundings with amazing views Had the risotto which was beautiful,could of eaten a bucket of it , wife had 2 cheese ploughman's , fantastic. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back .

Lovely pub but usually closed when we would like to visit in the afternoon... We used to walk our dogs there and enjoy lunch in the garden when they used to be open..

Have been going here for years! Service and food never changes. Think a few recent reviews possibly about other “three horseshoes” (3 in the area) as never known them to do pork belly or pizza! 😂

Beautiful place with helpful friendly staff. The food was delicious…we had pork belly roast and cheesecake for desert. Absolutely amazing!

My partner and I called up to ask if they served takeaway pizza - lots of photos on Google showing pizzas & on the menu...the lady answering the phone (the owner) laughed at us & was so rude & very condescending - totally unnecessary - she even hung up on us! Way to bring new customers in!! 👌🏻

Beautiful pub with lovely views and cute chickens. Unfortunately made to feel very unwelcome, not even a thank you for bringing our glasses back from the bottom of the garden.

Four of us dropped U.K. for lunch in a Saturday. Really nice outdoor space and tables definitely well spaced apart. Sensible tried and tested menu with excellent English dishes that really doesn’t change and doesn’t need to. They may not have a huge menu but what they do they do very well. Good selection of local beers Excellent parking recommended

No vegetarian or vegan options - very odd in 2024! The beer garden is stunning, however, the locals (not bar staff) were rude and created an unpleasant atmosphere. We were a group of 10 and left after one drink without ordering food.

Best beer garden in Sussex. Good local real ales.

Had a quick pit stop for a drink sunday afternoon .They were already closing for a break but managed to get a quck pint. Great location!

Please never renovate! Exactly how I remember country pubs as a child.

Real old pub with interesting locals.

Such a delightful pub with amazing views! Beautiful tranquil garden with lots of hidden gems. Food delicious, crab salad really tasty, definitely worth a visit with fantastic nearby walks in surrounding areas.

To my knowledge, this pub has the nicest garden in the Hampshire South Downs. The food was also very good indeed.

Such a lovely pub. A warm and friendly reception, really lovely food, locally sourced ingredients and stunning views from the large garden. A cozy fire inside and out! I couldn't recommend it more highly. I only wish I lived closer!

Lovely stop after a day's walking. I visited in my own from the nearby campsite and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. There was a nice atmosphere in the pub and I enjoyed the food - avocado starter was a highlight

The second time we visited this pub and the second time we were impressed. The staff were very thoughtful and the food was delicious. We shall return.

Beautiful location and lovely food , great traditional pub amazing garden , dog friendly , wandering chickens what’s not to love. Only downside is if you are vegetarian or vegan as little or no choice.

Absolutely beautiful old, traditional, country pub. It has stunning views over South Downs, the food was impeccable, extremely friendly staff and it's so warm and cosy inside you never want to leave. This is a must visit for anyone visiting the area!

Absolutely cracking pub with delightful service, lovely food, masses of character, epic beer garden with incredibly well tended roses, and wonderful beer. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Quintessential English country pub with food and service so inviting you'll want to visit again. If you'd never been to a country pub and had only an idyllic picture of what it would be...look no further. Cosy fires, real ale from the barrel, friendliest of greeting, garden with beautiful views, food to tell others about. Dog friendly and car park. Although recommended (long) walk from Harting Down. But if you want a table and food you really must book ahead. Dont look for fancy web site booking; pick up a phone and speak old school!

Lovely country pub. Feels like a pub should be.

Not great - but nice people and lovely setting

Food is always good and plenty of local ales (Pots and Swift one) on draught

Went to this lovely country pub with some friends for dinner. The pub is in a perfect setting whether it is in summer in the garden or winter in the cosy dining room. I had the local venison and it was delicious; perfectly cooked. And the Sticky Toffee Pudding is to die for. If you find yourself in the area; this pub is not to be missed.

Wonderful experience at this restaurant. Delicious food. Excellent service. Would recommend a visit

Superbly run South Downs pub. Excellent food, attentive service and welcoming atmosphere. Owner operated and run. Finger on the pulse and it shows.

Wonderful food and service. Thoroughly recommend

An amazing setting, with great views over the Downs. Great selection of beers, wines and soft drinks. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended

I was told this was a a delightful country pub, having grown up in the countryside and having moved to the city I thought all wonderful, friendly and welcoming pubs had vanished. This is a treasure as it is the archetypal British pub serving great food and fabulous bitter. The liver and bacon was perfectly cooked and served with nicely crisp broccoli, the service was friendly and the pub had a lovely warm atmosphere. I would recommend this pub to anyone who doesn't want plastic food served by staff with artificial smiles. I truly great British pub.

Lovely food and friendly staff.

Great food and service plus home-made jams.

Lovely real pub. Lovely rose garden with great views. Real beer. Real food. Very friendly.

Twice in one weekend, we could not ask for better. A great ham ploughman and a glass or two of cider in the October sun in a word WOW.

sat in the garden excellent sunday lunch

visited for lunch a couple of weeks ago. Outstanding views and garden setting. Sue and her team made us feel very welcome. Food was fantastic and service prompt and friendly.

Hands down the WORST pub food I’ve had in my 57 years. I had the steak and kidney pie which arrived with a large crust, no side or bottom and a few pieces of steak and kidney. The vegetables were soggy and microwaved and my dog gratefully received the atrocious ‘meat’. My daughter’s sausage and mash tasted chemically , onions sloppy and overdone BUT the sausages were OK. T’wife had duck salad which was just thrown together with no care or presentation. Pudding of sticky toffee pudding FAR too sweet - try Cartmel- and my second lager tasted of just cleaned pipes. AND we were only brought eating irons- NO salt , pepper, brown, red, mayo. I’m still shocked at what I paid for this absurd disaster. Give me a reply and I’ll double your turnover…… Have to say I LOVE the setting and the drive there but jeeeeeeez. How hard can it be?!!!!! Brakes have a lot to answer for…..

Brilliant as usual, great food and service. Highly recommended

When the owner manager is as tuned into and as motivated as the publican at the Three Horseshoes it makes a huge difference. The attention to detail in every aspect is superb. Local to the heart but welcoming to trade from outside the region this in the best pub in the South Downs. Food and drink excellent, an array of carefully selected locally artisanal food products add to the sense of this place being integral to the village and the area. If there's a pub with a better view of the Downs from the outside sitting area I'd be amazed.

Nice family, friendly and local village pub with beautiful garden and views of the South Downs

Sadly, not the most welcoming of pubs. The staff can barely tear themselves away from chatting to each other to deign to serve you.

Late review but ate here a few week ago. We has a coronation salad with chicken and a steak pie, both incredible meals sat in a beautiful garden with views to die for. I had the pavlova for desert which was good to. On the way to leave I got some local honey and my wife (Italy born) got two bottles of local limoncello which was according to her was the best she has ever tasted. We will definitely visit again when come back in to the country

A very relaxed open-air lunch in a beautiful location. Can recommend the smoked haddock risotto, followed by apple & blackberry crumble, with a good choice of local ales on offer. Service was prompt and friendly throughout our visit.

Lovely pub, beer garden and scenery!!!

Fantastic views seemed a nice place. Shame it closes at 3....Will be back

Really nice evening. There was a lovely seating area overlooking the southdowns we had a delicious meal. All the staff were really friendly. There was a fire with seats around and chickens roaming the garden. In the bar they were selling local products and we tried locally made limoncello which turned out to be the nicest I have had. We look forward to visiting again.

We came across this pub whilst driving through the country. The garden is big with stunning views. The food was great and the service was friendly. Also, it's a dog, walkers, and cyclist friendly pub that.👌👍

A great pub with fabulous views. The interior is very cozy, the garden beautiful, and plenty of outside seating as long as the weather plays along. The beer is very good and the food is delicious. You must have the Avocado with Stilton and mushroom sauce. Perfect!! And the staff was very friendly!

Lovely country pub with a beautiful garden and real ale straight from the barrel.

Beautiful views of the South Downs !

Wonderful old pub with one of the best download views I know. Massive garden and an interior of real character with ales direct from the barrel.

Had a very good quality lunch. The potted shrimp starter was really tasty - and we felt particularly good value - as were both main courses. The good selection of real ales and the entertaining bantam chickens wandering around the garden rounded off yet another enjoyable visit.

So good we went two nights running for dinner. Location, views, food and drink, service, atmosphere all simply delightful.

Always a wonderful reception and lovely food. Fantastic village setting overlooking farmland and the South Downs.

The reason I am only giving two stars to this lovely pub in a great location is that they don't have vegetarian or vegan option on their menu. I just cannot understand this nowadays when everyone is eating less meat for health, animal welfare and environmental reasons. I was astounded when I looked at the menu when I arrived. My only options were a cheese ploughmans or a concoction suggested by lady behind the bar and created from an avocado and bacon starter without the bacon and a roasted peppers and duck main course without the duck but with some extra cheese. As I was hosting guests and didn't want a fuss, I just opted for the latter but the result just was a greasy mess. I felt sorry for staff as they must be asked for vegetarian food all the time. On the plus side the view from the enormous garden is terrific, the roses in the garden are georgous and well tended, there are lots of outdoor tables, the staff are friendly, the service is good and the indoor section is quaint and cosy. (and PS My meat and fish eating guests all enjoyed their main courses, thank goodness!)

Beautiful countryside pub with breathtaking views. Very accommodating staff and delicious food. Absolutely idyllic spot, particular in the summer months - perfect if you're having a meal in the garden or just stopping by for a drink!

Great food and beautiful garden.

Unbelievable Views from the huge Garden they have out back. Great atmosphere and good food.

Beautiful situation with wonderful views of the South Downs & the garden is very attractive. Both food and staff were excellent and we did not wait long to be served, although they were very busy. Would thoroughly recommend.

I've been visiting pubs in Hampshire and West Sussex for 50 years... how did I miss this one! Tucked away, back in time with barrels behind the bar and charming staff... thenfood was great, properly cooked real food, no sign of a corporate menu. My Liver,bacon and mash perfect, my friends scallops, bacon and mash superb.. but the best bit? The glorious view over to the South Downs from the garden, with the scent of roses drifting across... a perfect spot!

Oh, this is how a pub should be, shame we live a fair distance away. Glorious views, fantastic roses this year, and tables spread out all over the place. Wonderful if you need a quiet space or have reactive dogs that don't particularly want to be near other dogs. Cannot comment on the food other than the ploughmans as that's all we ate. Just what you want from a ploughmans and an excellent sized chunk of cheese for the cheesists like me! Inside looks delightful and traditional, but again we only popped in to order and collect beers. Thanks staff, love you pub!

A real pub with good food, good beer and friendly staff.

Visited on a warm, sunny Saturday evening. We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the large garden overlooking great views of the South Downs. The service at the bar was second to none and the two ladies working were friendly, the choice of food and drinks was extensive and it was a delight to have the ale poured straight from barrels behind the bar. The food we ordered was plentiful and delicious, leaving us feeling satisfactorily full, and the food service was superb. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was a credit to the pub. Thanks for a lovely evening and we'll definitely be back.

Lovely pub, great food with am authentic home cooked flavour. Staff are friendly and the setting sublime. Highly recommended

Always good to eat at, or just a drink.

Great food, decent beer and cracking views

The food was outstanding my partner had the cottage pie I had the Yorkshire pudding beef and mash potato's with vegetables yum yum. Wasn't sure about dessert but upon hearing they had hot cross bun bread and butter pud just had to have a go and so glad we did so tasty will definitely return five star I would say more a ten the staff were great polite and attentive

beautiful place to sit and eat , food was really good and so was the drinks, dog friendly, has fantastic view in the garden, will go back.

A gorgeous country pub. Excellent food and incredible service. So lucky to have this pub on my doorstep. Amazing!!!!!!!

Fantastic historic pub set in beautiful surroundings. Perfect ales straight from the cask, a delicious home cooked menu and a warm welcome. Much appreciated after a long day's cycling and camping in the pop-up campsite in the farm next door. As a country pub should be.

Looking forward to going back. Lunch was amazing . Very dog friendly. It is best to book if you want to eat. The views of the south downs are something special.

So well priced. Extensive choice. Great quality of home cooked food. Brilliant prices both on food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful

closed on a Saturday 2pm !! no sign off life at a 1.30hour walk and dieing for a drink and food

Great beer and garden nice staff

Absolutely lovely pub! Didnt eat, but the menu looks great! Will definitely be coming back in the summer! 🌞 Lucky to be so local!

Went for Sunday lunch with my daughter. Service was friendly and quick. Food was good and excellent value for money, not least given how pubs are struggling with cost increases. It's a lovely location, the pub has plenty of atmosphere and it's well worth going...

Superb food, great beer, and all at a very reasonable price

Great, friendly village local. Hearty food. Decent ales. Fire for winter. Garden for summer.

Excellent - really nothing more to say. Brilliant beers, very fast service yet the best meals out we have had in ages. Tried all 5 puddings on the menu and all were excellent. Venison was especially good.

We visited yesterday having been many years ago and had the most fantastic meal in this charming, cosy pub. Staff,service, food and choice couldn’t be better….great portions too. I can’t understand a previous review about the risotto, which we ate yesterday and was absolutely delicious....

Splendid pub with delicious home cooked food and excellent service from owner Sue and team. Open fire, low beamed ceilings, fairy lights…everything you want from a country pub in winter. In summer there’s a big garden with fantastic view across the South Downs. Consistently excellent...

Geweldige pub met heerlijk eten en prachtig uitzicht over de South Downs. Neem voor de Sticky Toffee Pudding met custard. Hemels....

As always, it is a lovely gem of a pub with a beautiful location. Friendly people run the pub and excellent comfort food at a reasonable price. Knocks the socks off a few of our other local pubs with their food menu. Highly recommended.

We visited The Three horseshoes yesterday and had the most wonderful lunch. I once lived in nearby Treyford and I was in the area with my family and we were planning on going to another pub which was closed on Tuesday's! We did not book...

Food quite expensive, only one veggie choice although I opted for Haddock risotto. Food arrived very quickly as possibly been bubbling away for a while. Only had two pieces of haddock in a bowl of sloppy rice. It was however hot. Filter coffee was weak.

This pub bringe back many good memories from distant past.

This pub never fails to give good food, good service plus friendly staff. This is a country pub that ranks no 1.

Superb Cosy Pub. Perfect Menu. Best Beer Garden in the land. Nothing to fault.

This is the epitome of a traditional English Pub. Perfect in every way. Why ? Great Customer Service. Once the food order is placed it arrives quickly. Menu on the Blackboard. Classic English fayre.... But done so well. Extremely tasty and Satisfying. Great presentation. Cosy...

We were recommended this beautiful little pub by our hosts. We had had a long day at Goodwood and wandered in quite late on the Sunday evening. The pub had a great atmosphere with plenty of locals enjoying their evening, and friendly welcoming staff. Real ale poured straight from the cask, and we were just in time to order some of the excellent home cooked food. Exactly the kind of charming local you hope to find.

Highly recommend this restaurant Excellent staff and customer service Attentive, helpful and friendly. Food was excellent quality, credit to the Chef. Potted shrimps starter and Scallops main course were delicious. The lemon posset and shortbread were sublime. Such an understated place with a calm atmosphere...

Enjoyed the firepit in the beer garden. Be sure to check the rafters in the bar for cask ales. Food was excellent!

Best pub garden around with stunning views over the south downs.

Been visiting this fab pub for 38 yrs, always loved it, haven’t been for a long time ( living in RSA and now Spain) but it’s still the same but better. What terrific food and service, just love the place. Thank you all concerned x

Loved this pub, really pretty location. The food is yummy and tastes home cooked. The owner is grumpy and not very welcoming, but the food and location is worth it! Watch out for wasps whilst eating in the garden!

Food and service always good. View from gardens incomparable!

Lovely "little" pub with amazing views of the downs. The garden is huge and was well worth the detour. The home made food was tasty, certainly would recommend visiting if you are that way.

Hmm, not great for food. One vegetarian option which wasn't particularly appetising. No kids menu. No pub food basics. Very expensive. Nice garden and views though. Good selection of beers.
