The place has gone to the dogs since this new manager has taken over. He is extremely rude and arrogant. The place is lifeless and the food is not up to standard. Don't waste your money here. And to your reply, I have exactly the right pub!

Fui a la cena de cumpleaños de mis nietos. Las áreas de juego exterior e interior son excelentes y se puede ver a los niños jugando. 3 Los adultos comieron filetes o curry y las comidas de los niños fueron generosas e incluyen un brote de fruta y un pequeño helado. La comida es casera y previamente cuando los miembros de la familia tenían la lasaña realmente la han disfrutado. El curry era un tikka masala casero y me gustó. Estoy acostumbrado a hacerlas desde cero y esto fue casero y agradable con generosas cantidades de pollo. No sé cómo lo hacen, pero las patatas fritas son como las mejores patatas fritas de la tienda de patatas fritas y crujientes. No es comida súper elegante, pero se hace bien y excelente para niños y adultos. PS el Guinness era bueno también. Siempre una señal de un gran pub!

Es la segunda vez que vengo. La comida es absolutamente deliciosa; verduras frescas, mucha carne cocinada a la perfección; salsa magnífica y un montón de ella. Hay un ambiente encantador y muy amable. El personal es extremadamente trabajador y nada es demasiado problema. El Rioja es un vino muy agradable con un precio de £20. 95, lo cual es muy razonable. Muy recomendable.

Cuando entré por primera vez en el personal donde brillante durante sentarse y pedir comida, cuando mi comida salió había un pedazo de plástico en mi pollo de Nueva York, cuando pedí comidas para 4 niños había una bebida principal de 2 lados y el desierto, cuando se dijo que pedir puede pedir postre después de la comida. Cuando fui a pedir los postres mujer miembro del personal fue grosero y abrupto, en lugar de explicar que deberíamos haber pedido cuando pedimos comida ella quería cobrarme un adicional de £ 2 por cada postre. Cuando el postre solo costaba £ 1. 49 , su actitud era horrible, no volverá otra vez

Very nice little pub. Food was amazing my hunters chicken was cooked to perfection, very soft and with plenty of bacon and cheese on the top. Onion rings- one of the best we've ever had. Peppercorn sauce - first one I've ever liked in my life. Atmosphere is very cosy, with nice music on the background with just right amount of volume. Staff are very friendly and professional. Although I am personally very picky, my experience was a 5* all over

If you park on the car park you are subject to a fine as it is for permit holders only, there no signs stateing this and no machine in the pub to put your registration number into , so you could end up having an expensive experience at this pub, only attended a family engagement party which cost me a fortune due to a pathetically large parking fine,

Great pub. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help, Theres a wide variety of drinks and the food menu caters for everyone, as a vegetarian it's great that they offer more non meat options than the "fake meat" vegan choice that seems to be the norm in most places now. Would recommend.

Well it’s with great sadness I write this. I have had Sunday dinner over here before in small group and it’s great food. We were a group of 10. 1 child and high chair. That shouldn’t be a problem but it’s Christmas. Sat down ordered our meal. The meals came out with some having wrong meats and one with cold meat. That was sent back. That took a while to return. Asked for more veg. This took ages to get to table. Well that’s when they the young servers started spilling the gravy down peoples coats. The gravy boat too full. He just couldn’t see the gravy pooping out the front. Well we eventually settled down and had nice food. Which is not my complaint. Well we waited to be asked what we wanted for desert eventually going to bar to ask if we could order this. Well it was ages bring to table in small or two plates at a time. We asked ice cream no sprinkles no chocolate just plain ice cream. You guessed it. Ice cream white sauce and sprinkles on. When the last two eventually got their desert and eating they asked to settle the bill and vacate the table as we had been over two hours and they had another sitting wanting to use table. Your having a laugh. We will vacate when we have finished. It’s not our problem service was so slow and confused. Would advise longer time on tables for larger parties of faster service I must say we had a discount on the drinks which was welcomed and I would return as food is generally good value but return in smaller party. Sorry to write this I’m a local and will return but needed to do this as it took the shine off a family’s Christmas get together.

some of the staff are very unfriendly and questioned our party quite angrily about items we had been authorised to bring into the venue. She also threw away birthday gifts and cards and was very aggressive and rude. I work in hospitality and understand it’s a difficult field to work in however her attitude was untoward or not very well presented at all. However, the gentleman behind the bar was lovely and good but cheesy live music that the rest of the party enjoyed.

Having worked at The 3 Horseshoes while I was at University and having been a regular here for 25 years, I know a few things about this place. Quite simply it is now better than it has ever been. The food is as good as home cooked, especially on a Sunday which os no mean feat! One of the best lunches around in an area with plenty of competition! Beats carveries and chains hands down. Clean, vibrant and modern without being pretentious. Excellent value and the service is spot on. In 10 or so visits there was a slight problem with bookings and availability of items on one occasion. The manager listened to our complaint and she more than made up for the mix up. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the new Horseshoes, or its new proprietor and employees. Long may it continue! Thankyou!👍👍👍

If you’re after a proper pub meal done right, the Three Horseshoes is a solid choice. It’s got that cozy, welcoming vibe where you instantly feel at home, thanks to the friendly staff who genuinely seem happy to have you there. The menu sticks to the classics, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want. I went for ham, egg, and chips, and it did not disappoint. The ham? Thick-cut, high quality, full of flavor. The eggs? Cooked to perfection with the runny yolks lovely over the chips—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside—the kind you keep sneaking another bite of even when you're full. Service was quick and cheerful, and it’s the kind of place where you can just relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Whether you’re stopping by for a bite or settling in for a proper session, it’s well worth a visit. A great little spot that does simple food exceptionally well.
