The Three Horseshoes Inn in North West Leicestershire

We arrived early to sit on a bench for 45 minutes whilst the previous occupants of our scheduled table sat and talked for nearly an hour after their departure time. As a result, we ended up on a table which was inadequate for our group size and all had to sit against walls, or in the passage of staff fetching/carrying food and only had the ability to partially place our feet under the table. We made the staff aware that we were unhappy and they shrugged this off and said they were unable to help. This was a pre-booked table to celebrate a joint birthday and we feel that our seating fell well below standard on this occasion, so much so, that we were as quick as we could eating our mains and left without puddings which we had intended to treat ourselves to! The food was ok, however, having said that, the plate was swamped in gravy which appeared to disguise the lack of beef as I had only two very small pieces. I do not think I shall be rebooking which is a shame, as the atmosphere and surroundings appeared promising on arrival

Lovely Sunday roast in a lovely welcoming restaurant served by lovely staff.

Lovely food in a cosy setting. We visited with friends, the fire was roaring and it was a welcoming atmosphere. The garlic prawns were amazing

We were a party of twelve and all were very happy with our meals , the service and general atmosphere.

Casual al fresco dinner in the courtyard. Made very welcome with our dog and offered inside / outside. Lovely selection on the menu. Attentive service. Food was delicious.

Lovely pub. Always polite, friendly and professional staff. Could do with some background music and better opening hours.

A lovely atmosphere & food. Very pleasant & welcoming staff. Excellent communication for booking. We will be returning. Even came away with some homemade chocolate 😊

Visiting from Leeds again for Sunday lunch. Lovely food, great service and atmosphere as ever, the Beef & Mushroom Casserole is just perfect together with a selection of vegetables/potatoes, that said everything is lovely, have been visiting for years and look forward to next time, thank you Jenny & your team 👏

Had a lovely Sunday lunch for my grandparents anniversary. Good and service were very excellent! We had to ask how they cooked the cauliflower as it was very nicely done.

Amazing food, service, highly recommend!

My friend and I have been here before and each time it doesn’t disappoint we had a fabulous 3 course meal plus liqueur coffee to finish it was superb. The staff are so friendly and helpful. It’s probably a little more expensive than your average pub but it’s worth every penny a lot of the food is home made and very tasty I had roast loin of pie my friend had rib of beef we both had same starter it was smoked salmon with rocket and sourdough bread and for sweet we had treacle oat tart omg it’s to die for please go and give it a try as a treat.

We chose this pub as it was accessible to family coming from all directions. What lovely food and pleasant service .

Lovely place. Delicious food. It was a little cold though but that was due to my choice of table.

Fabulous Sunday lunch in cosy, traditional pub. Large carpark.

Stopped by for a quick Sunday roast. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious and in large portions. Will definitely return!

We came across this gem after taking a wring turn. On entering the staff were so warm, welcoming and helpful. We had Sunday lunch in the bar and it was absolutely lovely. All throughout our visit the staff were excellent, so attentive and really friendly. Can’t wait to go back

One of my favourite places..great place...great food and great people...

Lovely cosy pub with tasty food and a friendly team. We mixed up our booking but they accommodated us so well with no issues. Recommend booking if you want food, as they get busy

Dined at the Three Horseshoes on Friday 23rd September with family. We have been before and never fails to impress. The staff are really friendly and attentive. The food is delicious! Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening

I have worked at DHL at the Airport for more than 15 years, I've always been aware of where Breedon was, but I am ashamed to say today was the 1st time I have ever been in the Three Horseshoes. It is safe to say I will not be leaving it another 15 years before I go in again. This beautiful place is simply put a little hidden gem in the heart of the village. The food was amazing, the staff were better. My family and I had a wonderful time and so much so one of the staff Julie got a well deserved Maisie-sized hug. I loved the quaintness of this place, especially the "Secret Garden" at the bag of the building. When I had my steak it was one of those moments where you just close your eyes and savour. The kids loved the great choice of puddings (Maisie will be tucking into her chocs tomorrow). The bill was a bit big but when the food is this good and a place is as warm and welcoming as this place is, you dont mind the bill. I had one thought in my head when i was leaving this place, "I wonder how soon before I'm back and I'd love to see what this place is like at Christmas time". Note-to-self, I do need to make sure I call beforehand to book a table, luckily the wonderful people were easily able to accommodate us.

Called in for a drink, nice to see a pub that hasn't been modernised to try and attract young adults. Perfect as it is ,didn't have any food, but bought some chocolate treats that they make themselves.

absolutely beautiful! Welcoming friendly staff nothing is to much trouble for them! even went the extra mile to make me a dessert that wasn't on the main menu to cater to my gluten intolerance, complements to the chef also! Best steak we have ever eaten. Already can't wait to come back!

Excellent Sunday roast and service. We were a group of 13 with children and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Lovely garden and an excellent place for a Sunday roast - would definitely recommend if you're in the area

Really good Sunday lunch, lovely staff, very dog friendly with some pretty walks (of varying lengths) from the pub car park. We met up with friends there because it was central and couldn't have picked a better place. The pub garden is superb, but they're happy to sit you in a snug with your dogs if you don't want to be outside. The photo's not of the pub, but one of the nearby walks.

Amazing food and friendly staff, had 3 courses and was not disappointed in any of it. Will definitely visit again.

Just when we thought it impossible to get any better....it somehow has.We eat there whilst racing as a rule and whether there's 10 of us or 2 its always always perfect and worth every penny ......its a relaxed atmosphere and at no point are you rushed or pressured to eat and vacate....the staff are great and the food is cooked to perfection.....well done team 👌

Fabulous food,best pub food I've eaten for a long time

Simply fabulous! Good old fashioned, traditional, all your problems melt away, want to marry the chef, tasty grub. Wonderful staff, warm atmosphere and suitable for couples and family's. Julie served us twice, and she is just lovely, and a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend!

Turned off the motorway midway through a 7-hour drive in the hope of finding somewhere to catch something to eat on a Sunday afternoon. And what a great pub this turned out to be. Truly fabulous food!!! Really; just excellent. Plus super-friendly staff. 5-stars from me.

Very good attentive staff. Decent food but a bit pricey for what it was. Hopeless selection of alcohol free beer (1 bad one). Thre is a load of good choices out there, get some in!

Lovely evening helped along with good food and service.

Delicious meal and such friendly service. It was a real pleasure.

Very atmospheric and friendly place with great choice on the menu and wonderful food. Always made to feel welcome.

Friendly, efficient service, good food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Good breakfast cud be a tad warmer 😀 but was 09:30

Nice village pub. The stuff explained and accommodated our vegan and vegetarian request kindly. They also offered alternative not included on the menù. Stuff very kind, nice atmosphere. Recommend!

I had an excellent pub supper here on Friday night - I was just driving and looking for somewhere serving hot food - this proved to be an excellent find & with good prices. I drank Marstons beer (one of my favourites bitters), and had a really nice sausage & mash meal. It arrived with red cabbage & gravy - cost just £10.50. Next time I'm at Donington Circuit I'll be heading in the direction of The Three Horseshoes

Such a good pub with its own personality. A great welcome from the friendly team and splendid food. We really enjoyed the steaks and vegetable casserole, the puddings are also pretty irresistible. Luckily our son lives in the village so we have an excuse to return!

Great customer service, top quality food. Had garlic bread to start, top quality home made ciabatta followed with the fish and chips. Would recommend

First time back in a few years and happy to say the experience was just as good our previous visits. The building it self is old and the inside complements it nicely and has some quirky decrative items. The staff were lovely and attentive and had a good sense of humour. We all had (4of us) starters and mains which were lovely, no complaints from any of us. I was the only one greedy enough to go for a dessert, I picked the sticky toffee pudding with custard and it was devine. Drinks were fine, good choice of well kept beers and a good wine list. I would have no hesitation in recommending the place and will definitely be back when next in that neck of the woods.

Amazing staff. Great service. Fabulous food. Loved it 💗

We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door, the staff were professional ,friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The restaurant was clean and comforting and the food was first class. The room was clean and comfortable and had all we needed.

Could not fault our meal at the Three horseshoes, we both had three courses all delicious. Highlight was the chicken kebab for our main course. The restaurant is tidy and nicely decorated. Comfortable bar area where we had a drink before our meal. Pleasant and efficient staff, will happily return.

Excellent meal , great service.

More restaurant than pub the food here is consistently delicious. Whether it is sitting inside the vintage French bistro styled restaurant or outside in the pretty courtyard under a parasol, you'll be looked after and note that the Marstons Pedigree ale is well kept - always the sign of a good pub. One point to note though: since the lockdowns it only opens from Thursday evening through to Sunday lunch.

Just as it was described, The Restaurant Pub had a large car park, easy access front and rear, and the waft of a real fire blowing about. Nice greeting, friendly staff and despite being booked inside, we chose to eat outside. Great selection of roasts and veg with all trimmings. Recommended.

Lovely place, really friendly and attentive staff, amazing food. Our favourite place for Sunday lunch.

Such a treat to find this pub on our holidays with our 3 dogs. The pub is obviously loved by the owners and this comes across when you visit. We sat in their lovely gardens for our dinner. All the food we had was delicious and service was fantastic. We wish we lived closer so we could return again.

Lively place but too full for us to get in on night of England playing

Such a great experience, lovely staff and a perfect venue for a romantic night out.

Lovely to be back after a very long time. Welcoming, friendly, relaxed atmosphere, drinks outside before dinner inside. Super service and fabulous food.

Tasty Sunday lunch . Couldn’t resist their garlic bread .. Superb . Staff friendly & Helpful. 5🌟Beef Roast lunch with Bakewell tart straight from the oven

Great food, amazing staff. Dog friendly. Great location in the centre of the village. Highly recommended. Will be back.

So glad to be back- the place was sparkling and fresh and returned to its charming interior style. The welcome was warm. You wear masks till seated at your table and enter and exit one way. All Covid compliant.Our 2 starters of smoked salmon and tasty asparagus were great. The fillet steak in peppercorn and bandy cream sauce with chips was excellent., and beautifully cooked. (though I’m sure the sauce used to be included in the price before.)Delicious meal and wine.We noticed how lovely the back courtyard garden looked on exit too. So pleased to see it open again.

It wasn't open within the stated opening hours so not sure if it's still a business, or just having an off day?

The Three horseshoes is our favourite place to eat in the midlands. The people who work here are professional yet are very welcoming, and make you feel at ease. There is a great gin selection, and home made chocolate selection. Also a fun antiques shop to browse! They are super dog friendly and really accomodating to your needs. Go for the blackened salmon with a side of roast cauliflower, veg and potatoes. Delicious! Looking forward to you reopening soon.

Just been for a meal here and had the steak special plus extras . Great food at great value then the govt discount on top . What more could I ask. Well worth a visit 👍

One of my favourite eateries, I like everything about the place. Nice people, nice atmosphere & nice food.

Great food & drink. Lovely country pub, best Sunday lunch ever, al a carte evening dinner & wines are delicious, consistently good. Fish & chips to eat in or take away or also the best.

superb consistent food and drink...warm open fire in the hearth...cosy country style ambience...great service and super people

we had great steak, and really good lamb. Food is excellent, family run ,cosy and friendly. i went back three times, and im going back again. it’s just a beautiful place, with great atmosphere.

Lovely friendly pub and absolutely gorgeous food for reasonable prices. Will definitely go again.

Nice welcoming coal fire. Not a very large menu and the choice of starters was disappointing. Main course came out with whatever meat you had chosen smothered in thick gravy - why couldn’t they put it in a jug, not everyone likes their roast meat swimming. However the beef was nicely pink and a good portion. Variety of vegetables. Desserts were all very heavy, a panacotta or something similar would have been a lighter choice. A very nice bottle of Pinot noir. Overall value for money. Table was very sticky, not because it was dirty but the varnish needed replacing.

Great place to eat. I didnt think there was much choice on the menu though. Would recommend.

Fantabulous food (especially sausage and mash) and lovely staff

Very nice friendly staff, well served beer, food looked really nice but didn't try but will be returning to eat

Good pub with nice food. Limited choice of real ales but the Pedigree is quite nice here.

Great atmosphere, perfect wait staff, good grub. And hand made chocolates...

Spur of the moment choice rewarded with excellent dinner accompanied by excellent friendly service. Nicely judged menu options well prepared. We went for duck breast, blackened salmon and beef stew.

DELICIOUS food!! Had the steak and it was the best I've had in a long time.

I love a pub where dogs are welcome and this place has a good selection of quality dogs and personable owners. The dining area has a lovely feel an ambience to it, a hotchpotch of differing tables rather than a job lot from a catering company. Nice pictures on the wall, a wooden propellor propped up in one corner and what looks like an old sniper rifle in another.My wife and I both went for the beef hot-pot with red cabbage and roast cauliflower as side orders. Absolutely delicious.We shared a whisky and chocolate trifle. Superb.Service was excellent, friendly and welcoming.We will be coming again and bringing friends with us. I just wish we had a pub of this quality in our village.

Very cute pub. A bit expensive.

Nice country pub, food good but waitress in need of improvemnt.

Very good food recommend you book a table

Amazing place, food is gorgeous!!! Absolutely fab!! Highly recomendated.

Nice pub and friendly staff. Visited with a group of 10 people at lunch for a chip butty but the service was so SLOW we had a drink and left. Regulars I felt were served first and there were no menus on the tables, you had to look on the walls across other people drinking which is rather rude. There is a restroom, parking and outside seating for summer days. As a little bit of history there is a small historical village jail across from the pub which is worth a look at

Two ladies who were at school together over 60 years ago live in Leicester and Sheffield. We meet up every few years conveniently halfway between those cities, and close to the M1 which serves them both. The Three Horseshoes does excellent lunches and definitely deserves to be described as a gem. The interior is attractive an comfortable and the food is brilliant. Its has an extensive menu is served faultlessly by friendly and efficient staff. It is well worth getting off the A42 dual carriageway to visit it.

Good food and friendly staff. A roaring fire, many nooks and crannies and a pleasant atmosphere, with no music playing in the background. The fish, sausages and desserts were delicious. Dogs are also welcomed.Look out for the ancient stone lockup visible over the road.

Very nice Sunday good value for money.

We have been here three times over the last 3 years and we have had good meals and service each time. Thank you

We have driven past many times before and never been in but we dropped in one Thursday evening by chance. We were quite impressed - nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food, and not as pricey as we thought it might be.

Quick drink after a lovely autumnal walk

A good restaurant and consistently good food

Never failed to have a good meal here.

My husband selected this accommodation, about 10 minutes drive away from the National Arboetum. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, the staff are extremely.friendly and helpful and the food is gorgeous

Lovely place popped in good food reasonable price

We enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Three Horseshoes yesterday while in the area visiting the National Trusts's Calke Abbey. The garlic and potato soup was very fresh, while for the main course I had the cod with black pudding - a generous loin of cod perfectly cooked. My companion greatly enjoyed his blackened salmon. I had the treacle oat tart from a menu of traditional puddings. The Timothy Taylor and Charnwood bitters were well-kept, and the service was prompt and very friendly, Definitely a pub to visit again.

Post-church visit. Quaint English pub. Food was excellent; good varied selection. Car park with ample room. Service was a bit slow. Would highly recommended.

Mi sento fortunata ad aver scelto questo pub per una serata speciale: bel posto, atmosfera tranquilla e calda, ottimo cibo. Tutto mi è piaciuto di questo locale. Lo consiglio di sicuro.

We much enjoyed the blackened salmon with creme fraiche, garlic mushrooms and spinach side dishes. Beautiful location. Lots of atmosphere in historic pub.

Good food, pleasant surroundings

Fantastic pub, fantastic food, fantastic staff

A very nice dinner in an unusual pub. The decor, food and very friendly staff made this a most enjoyable evening. It is a little out of my way but hopefully I will return. Many thanks to everyone at the Three Horseshoes.

We went knowing how good the fillet steak is and again we were delighted.

Gastro pub with wonderful food and beer. A very friendly and welcoming place that we have been to several times this year.

Fantastic food. As good as it was 4 years ago when I lived in the area

Top night out food fantastic staff excellent had such a great experience.

Nice interior excellent food but I have not been in there for a long time
