Lovely birthday treat. Food is great. A bit noisy as it was very busy although that just shows it is very popular . Will be back

Wenspent 2 nights at the hotel and ate there one evening. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The rooms were spotless and well equipped. Even though it's over the pub the noise wasn't bad, even at the weekend. The food was brilliant . Will definitely be back.

Dreadful level of service from essentially a load of badly trained college kids. Tried for 10 minutes to get some service and they kept on walking by eyes on the ground. Waitress reached over people and one was chewing gum. Quality of food was poor and I have concerns about how I heard the manager speak to another table. So much better within 5 minutes walk.

I really enjoy going to this pub/restaurant. We haven't stayed because we live local so can't comment on the rooms. We can however say that the pub is always so warm and welcoming. It always has a good vibrant, friendly atmosphere and it's very popular. The food in the restaurant is of a high standard and always delicious. We have eaten here a few times and will definitely be going again. Highly recommend a visit to this place if you're in Barnard Castle.

Just had a Sunday roast, had great reviews so thought we would try it out. Great venue and atmosphere, but unfortunately the food was a huge disappointment on all fronts. Every element of the roast, from the meat being tough, roast potatoes tasted stale, gravy was thin and oily with no flavour and the side veg was laughable (looked like scraps of veg covered in water). Completely disappointed and will not be returning and it looked like a few other tables complained about the food as well and won’t be returning. Bad day from the chef and probably the worst roast I’ve had other than Toby carvery.

Beautifully maintained traditional hotel / pub in a central location. Highest quality room ( we were in room 10) Great food and staff very pleasant. We only stayed one night to break a long journey but on the basis of what we received we intend to return and stay for longer. The only very small niggle was slightly slow service at breakfast, possibly staff shortages, but the food more than made up for that.

Exceeded expectations. We checked a few food venues out on Google before settling on the Three Horseshoes for a Sunday roast. Food arrived quickly. Very well presented. A little bit of style about it too. Lovely stuffing and red cabbage. Good portion of chicken and well cooked. As we arrived the Black Sheep went off but there were 3 pale ale/golden ales on offer. Friendly and attentive staff. Will go back.

What can we say,we had a £50 voucher given as a Christmas present for my Wife and I.We kept putting off and putting off until recently when we got to dine and have drinks.All we can say is Wow Wow Wow our whole evening was fantastic.Thankyou so much to the wonderful smiling staff who made us feel very welcome.We had drinks before we were seated and chose starters to share of garlic cheese bread,Tempura King prawns,Cajun potatoe skins and onion rings.Everything cooked fresh and everything delicious and so very tasty.All we kept repeating was mmm this is so good,it realy was.We were given perfect resting time to let our starters settle,we never felt rushed and we couldn't wait for the main courses.I had the chicken parmo cooked to perfection and replaced the fries with chunky chips,one of the best parmos I've ever had.Would love to see creamy cabbage as an option,a must with a parmo.My wife had fish and chips,again cooked to perfection.Propper chips not frozen the whole meal was so fresh.Would highly reccommend to any visitors.Compliments to the chef,our food was amazing.Two very very happy customers.5 star

We've ate at this place a number of times and its been fine. However, we booked in for Sunday Lunch yesterday and left very disappointed. The food was luke warm, the veg undercooked and the meat was sliced untra thin, with half of it consisting of fat. The Cauliflower was so hard we struggled to put a knife through it. At just under £16 per head, I think value for money is non existent. We won't be back.

I cannot begin to express how incredible Craig and the staff at The Cellar Bar were in helping me plan a surprise party, from my first query, to 54 questions later (possibly even more). The catering was drool-worthy, the set up was fantastic and overall, they made the party an absolute success and stress free - could NOT have done it without them!! I will definitely be booking my next event here… with hopefully less questions 😂! Thank you again Craig & The Cellar Bar

Not sure where to start as the whole experience at the 3 horseshoes has been fantastic. Amazing helpful staff. Wonderful food , simply sublime. We shared tempura prawns and lamb kofta and they accidently brought tempura vegetables, this was quickly resolved and the veg were left at no charge. They were all devine. Presentation and taste amazing. I had a carrot and pumpkin risotto and added chicken .... the flavours were stunning. My friend had the tagliatelle ragu. Wow wow wow. Gluten free pasta available and to die for. To note there was so much choice for people needing gluten free diet. What a refreshing pleasing change to have such wonderful helpful professional staff in this day and age. The three horseshoes are definitely to be recommended... do not miss out when in charming Barnard castle

Ordered 4 meals, 3 had parts overcooked. For 1 of the kids meals we returned the sausages (they were literally black), chips on another were so dark it was hit and miss if 1 would taste nice, and the pasta was borderline mushy on the third meal. Starters however were amazing. It was early in the evening before it got busy so hopefully the chef was just having an off day. It really was a disappointing for my birthday meal though

Review for the Cellar Bar at the Three Horseshoes Hotel - I held a surprise 30th birthday for my husband in the Cellar Bar this weekend and I cannot fault it. The service and communication from start to finish was perfect, and the attention to detail was incredible! Craig made sure the party was personal to my husband, asking what colors he likes and his favourite drink etc and the result was brilliant. The room on the night has balloons in the colour scheme we discussed, there were personalized signs in the room and even personalized paper toppers for drinks. All at no extra cost! The buffet food was incredible, loads of guests commented on how nice it was, and we were given takeaway boxes at the end of the night to take food home with us. All in all we had a brilliant experience. Craig kept in touch on the weeks leading up to the party to ensure it was a surprise for my husband and that the room and food were too notch. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of planning a party!

Numerous reviews recognise dreadful services and issues with quality of food. We stood at bar for too long simply trying to get served and were reluctantly shown to table. Stupid waitress then walked off without giving us menu. When we eventually got one it took the an age to take our order. Throughout the meal we couldn't get waitress attention because their tactic is too deliberately look at the floor to avoid work. Had to getbout of seat to ask for service. Badly trained waiting staff is only ever about very weak management. Time to move on those in charge of this sloppy place.Management love an aggressive lieing response to reviews... over to you 'gloss over team'!!!

As we were attending a wedding at Lartington Hall on Monday we booked into the Three Horseshoes Hotel for the night. Hotel had great reviews and we were all looking forward to it. Seamless start during check in, everything seemed great... Until the next morning! We had rooms on the ground floor. And opposite my particular room was the back of the pub/bar. And at exactly 7:30am two men began to load into the beer cellar the kegs. The monumental noise must've woken up the whole Street! It was horrendous. The odd bang wouldn't have been so bad but this noise continued, non stop for 25 minutes! No chance of getting back to sleep and after a full day and night at a wedding we were not best pleased to say the least. If you know the beer kegs are delivered on a Tuesday morning and that those rooms are right opposite therefore will be woken up early, it is your duty to let guests know this! £90 per room per night for that?! Awful.

Having been in Wales and England for nearly two weeks, we were stunned by the rudeness of one of the employees of this hotel. We stopped in to ask for help with directions to a B and B that was located outside Barnard Castle. One worker, male with dark hair and a beard, replied to my sister when she explained what we needed, that they had rooms available there and he couldn't help us with directions to anywhere else. Now, we are two older ladies who haven't been refused help by anyone in two weeks. Having made arrangements ahead of time we were only interested in finding our way. But this employee did himself and your establishment a disservice. We will make sure to steer anyone away from the Three Horseshoes Hotel, Pub and Restaurant every chance we get.

The Three Horseshoes has been acquired by new ownership and transformed internally and in the rear gardens. It is not the rough pub that many of us knew and avoided years ago. It is now modern, chic and sophisticated.http://three-horse-shoes.co.uk/The menu is short but well-chosen and sources excellent local ingredients where possible. The is also an excellent wine list. The beers are good as well.I had the seared scallops which were melt in the mouth delicious. This I followed with pork three ways. The rillette was worth the visit by itself.There was also an excellent dab of a sauce based , I think, on black pudding. I finished off with a chocolate brownie which was surprisingly light and very chocolatey.Minor criticisms of the meal, which were listened to carefully, are a couple of extra scallops and bit more of the pickled raisins; more vegetables on the main course and more of the excellent sauce mentioned above; and finally, more raspberries - they were delicious.They also need to do some retraining on the espresso machine. This is a failing with many restaurants, unfortunately. Improve the coffee and sell-up with a brandy or liqueur.However, don't let this put you off. It was the best meal I've had in Barnard Castle for many a long year and is well worth a visit. I will be going back.

This pub is ok when they actually have food on they advertise a carvery till 8 we turned up at 5.30 it was our 35 wedding anniversary and we wanted to go out for a special dinner we were going to have all three courses and a few drinks only to be told they didn’t have any carvery left really bad management to run out of food two and a half hours before closing we ended off coming home and our special meal was beans on toast it’s a ok pub for a quick meal but don’t go there for any special occasion they will just let you down
