Three Horsehoes in Harrogate

Yes definitely, great pint well looked after beer and lager best pint in village. Actually the cheapest pint also but they are a free house and not greedy. The whole roast was fresh, meat to die for! proper home made gravy only wish we had eaten here before, lived here 1.5 years always dined at others in the village. I judged a book by its cover!! fully hands up its dated and others in village are more modern but wow thankyou so much 💗 it's the actual owner that cooks too, very rare these days. I'm so glad we didn't have starters though the plate was very plentiful indeed. Thanks once again will definitely be back next week .... perfection, quality price and service 💯

If you're looking for a restaurant review you're in the wrong place. The Three Horseshoes is typical pub grub, home cooked, well presented with pleasant, helpful staff. We called in for Sunday lunch. My wife's Prawn Cocktail was generously loaded with prawns, my vegetable soup served in a large bowl, piping hot with a large teacake and butter. Our Sunday roasts - lots of tasty chicken for her, thick tender portions of roast beef for me. Served with Yorkshire puds, roast and mashed potatoes, broccoli, green beans and carrots. Honestly, there was so much beef they put the last chunk in foil to take way. Just too much there for me to eat. Everything, including drinks , is modestly priced and excellent value for money. We will be back.

A fabulous find for lunch. Quality food, generous portions, perfectly cooked and good value. A perfect pint of real ale @ £2.95 to wash it down. Friendly staff at this large pub in Boroughbridge and dogs are allowed. What's not to like!

Called in for a drink before our evening meal at The Crown. It was not very busy (just locals having a chat at the bar) We went into another room and two elderly gents came in and the language was quite a shock!! We finished our drinks and left. Shame really.

Went here with friends for Easter Saturday evening meal. Thank you Alison for a beautiful meal. Exceptional value for money and served in good time. Your main course was enough. All the staff were friendly and polite. As we live local so we will be back.😁. Keep it up. Thanks you. Steve B. 🥂.

Excellent Sunday Lunch ! All the usual meats, fish and vegetarian dishes. Roast Beef was a huge Yorkshire portion well presented with roast potatoes, Yorkshire,mash,green beans, carrots, brocoli,mash and gravy all for £11:00 and the beef was beautifully tender and piping hot. Large menu to chose from including sandwiches and baguettes. Well done Alison and the team. Would highly recommend.

The availability of lunch was advertised outside the entrance of this pub restaurant, but when we entered we needed to ask for menus, which were provided from behind the bar, which has an old style traditional layout. The range of food available was quite extensive, and orders were placed and paid for at the bar. When served we felt that the food was a little basic, but did provide good value for money. There are several rooms in the pub some dominated by large TV's, and there is also seating on the outside frontage. We considered "average" to fairly describe our overall experience.

Absolutely fantastic food huge portions all homemade one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten in a pub so friendly fab service

What a lovely friendly village pub. We were staying at the Crown Hotel. but took lovely 5 minute walks across the road to this pretty pub. They served great wine & we really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere.

We had been walking around the lovely little town of Boroughbridge and stopped here for a couple of drinks before going back to our hotel to get ready to go out to dinner We sat in the public bar which has some lovely original features The customers and staff were very friendly and the wines went down a treat

Went today for a meal and it was beautiful! We had chicken Sunday lunch and lamb Sunday lunch. Loads of meat and veggies. All cooked lovely. The waitresses were all lovely too. Definitely calling again. Thank you

Due to move to Boroughbridge in the next few weeks Husband and I did wen to get a feel for the place and ended the visit with Sunday Lunch at the Three House Shoes. Think we have just found are new local ,food amazing staff are lovely and the price was even better.

Being honest we did arrive 10 minutes late didn't the staff let us know that throughout! My son overheard the barman calling us tossers! Older waitress came to take our order and didn't even speak! Our mains came, my son asked for a medium steak which was cremated and looked poor quality, he couldn't eat it, we asked to return it. My other son had a burger and couldn't eat it, got better at a burger van. Steak still hadn't arrived so we asked how long it would be, we then heard the chef being abusive regarding us. We decided to leave as we did not feel comfortable. No apology was offered and just said well you were late, although there was hardly anyone in. Only positive was that the 2 young waitresses were polite but feel sorry for them working in that environment. This spoilt my Mothers Day.

Admittedly arrived 10 minutes late but no excuse for terrible food, terrible service. Could here the chef from the kitchen complaining about us being late. Had better burgers from a burger van on away day, was disgustingly dry. Medium steak came well done and beef dinner was full of fat. Overall a horrible place and would not recommend.

We visited the three horseshoe pub for something to eat and drink we was met with a friendly atmosphere and the food was absolutely excellent, will definitely visit again

We visited this pub twice for food and drink whilst in Boroughbridge. It is a warm, welcoming establishment with friendly, happy staff and a good atmosphere. They serve an excellent pint of real ale and good honest ‘pub grub’ in large portions. It is not...

From the reviews we planned to eat here. However when we walked in the whole bar of customers were observing strangers coming into the bar. We may have arrived at the end of a busy day when everyone wanted a drink and catch up, but it made us feel very uncomfortable. There was no sign of food so we left after one drink.

We have often visited the 'Shoes before for Sunday lunch, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays etc, so we decided to use the same venue for an Over 50's Table Tennis Christmas Lunch. We were not disappointed at all. We had a Christmas lunch that was pre-booked - (ie NOT an off-the-menu meal), crackers on the table, piped festive-music throughout, choice of desserts. Some people in the group were apprehensive about going to a pub for this kind of event; however, there was nothing but compliments towards the venue, the menu and the staff. Nothing was too much trouble - we asked, they provided! They were proactive in checking final numbers and the staff were keeping everyone happy. Couldn't fault it at all.

Staying in Boroughbridge for two nights, just walking around and popped in for a early drink. The pub was very busy, mostly locals having a drink after work, but we where made very welcome. It’s a very basic village pub, but clean and tidy. Atmosphere great, music via the duke box, vintage classics. The land lady brought plates of ham quiche around FOC that was delicious. Guinness was spot on, so can’t complain.

We were looking for a place to eat one evening in Boroughbridge. Having decided not to bother with the Grantham Arms we were hoping Three Horse Shoes would be more to our liking. However, the place was grubby and noisy and, even though the menu was typical bar food, we just didn't fancy eating anything there. Luckily, we found the Black Bull!!

Excellent food piping hot, large portions enough to feed our family twice, very friendly staff would highly recommend a visit we will certainly going back. Ray & Liz

We had an amazing visit to this pub, the staff were super friendly and helpful.

What a gem! The building is stuffed with original features, fireplaces, toilets and bar. The menu is interesting and excellent value. The staff are really friendly too. Definitely worth a visit

My wife and I went for an early evening drink, we were eating much later, we had a brilliant time. Live music, great atmosphere and the dog was made most welcome too. Rarely Have I felt so welcome and the landlady arranged a lift for us later on too, a great atmosphere and what a genuine well run pub.

Called for lunch on 31st May 2018, the service was fast, with very helpful staff, the meal was excellent, served quickly & was piping hot & not expensive, Very highly recommended !

Sunday lunch is the best! Roast dinner with all the trimmings, in a wonderful traditional pub! Menu and prices are very clearly displayed, with 1 course, 2 course and 3 course set prices. There is also a menu with other traditional food options - burgers, salads, pasta etc. Good food for everyone at a price that is not over-the-top! Whenever we go, my children always compare other food to here. The usual phrase is: "But it's better at the Three Horseshoes". Can't get any better recommendation than that! Oh, and the drinks are reasonably priced, too!

Called in on Wednesday 20/12/17 for lunch, we were mightily surprised by the size and quality of the gammon steaks we had, very well cooked and tasted absolutely lovely.

I was stopping in the hotel opposite and decided to end the night with a drink in here.I wish i had gone straight to bed and given it a swerve. Scruffy run down pub with a few drunk locals for company. Barmaids were very unwelcoming so i drank my pint in record time and left never to return.Give it a miss,better pubs in the area.

I called in for a pint! I’ll be honest the decor was basic and dated, no atmosphere and wasn’t made to feel welcome! I wouldn’t recommend if your visiting!

We visited here to break a long car journey. Service very friendly. The board "Rump Steak with all the Trimmings" caught our eye. We both asked for medium steak. There was plenty of it, but a good vet could have brought life to my "medium" steak. The meal arrived suspiciously quickly, the chips were inedible and probably re-heated. Coleslaw vinegary, mayonnaise ditto. Don't eat here.

A casual evening meal turned out to be a feast for at least two more diners - in our view anyway!

Brilliant pub with friendly staff. Stayed at the crown in the village, one night for business. Also does food but more importantly, excellent drink choices.

Mi esposa y yo disfrutamos de una comida de dos platos con una entrada, mi esposa un postre y ambos teníamos la carne asada. Las porciones eran enormes, muy bien cocinado y los asados y verduras caliente servido en grandes platos calientes. Estoy de acuerdo con los comentarios sobre los dos grandes mesas en el bar de la entrada, y sí, parece ser un bebedores y locales pub pero nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y sin duda volveré.

Llegó aquí con colegas como parte de un paseo alrededor de la ciudad de los pubs. Claramente el pub de elección para el corriente intenciones local, este es un sencillo, tradicional boozer. No hay nada elegante o de moda, pero como en lo particular no me gusta elegantes y modernos, me vino bien.

Había reservado un grupo de 16 en los tres cabalgatas por el brunch antes de un día en Ripon carreras y fue excelente. Alison y su personal era muy servicial y la manera de establecer una habitación separada para nosotros fue un detalle muy bonito. Nuestro brunch salía relación caliente, deliciosa y estupenda en 5 libras por cabeza. Buena selección de cervezas lager, incluyendo el día de la carrera de ofertas especiales. Pasamos un par de horas aquí, que marcó la pauta para un gran día y no dudaría en volver. Gracias Alison!!

Ok honest review. I'm not a food, snob or stuck up and generally happy with good old pub grub. Im just an avatar no bloggs and I can honestly say this was rank! My husband had a burger which was huge and looked OK, it was at least edible and ok at best. My chilli and nachos was vile I actually begrudge paying for them and had it of been down to me I wouldn't of but the hubby doesn't like to make a fuss. The mince was not even any resemblance to even the cheap frozen mince the only part I ate was the dry nachos because it was lunch and frankly I was starving! The local drunks glared at us trying their best to make us feel un welcome I'm sure of it. Iv been in some dumps before but this was a new low! Save ur money and go somewhere else!!!

Food was terrible , arrived at 1.30 pm could not get to the bar for elderly drunks that would not shut up! Bar maid was old flashed hair thin in face with a box of regal in her hand ? You tell me! Finally got a drink watered down lager a drunk man and woman on a table to the left of the bar swearing this is at 1.30 in the afternoon I'm sorry but just a dirt hole " never again" front doorstep full of smokers and tabs but the fish did not smell right so I left it could not wait to finish my watered down beer on my wobbly chair.Be Ware!

Visited while staying in the area had 2 good meals here on two separate days recommend ideal for campers lunch and evening

Very unfriendly welcome initially as my husband asked if they had anywhere we could eat with our little dog. Very abruptly told we could eat in the room with the pool table. Normally we would have walked at this point , however we had been walking and hadn't found anywhere else serving food. The meal when it did arrive was possibly the worst we have ever been served. The half chicken looked more like a dried up sparrow and the chips (processed) appeared to have been fried in last years oil. Coleslaw and salad was ok but spoilt by the addition of couscous. The beer was good though and they did bring water for dog.

Very obvious the local pub. Walked in felt very unpleasant welcome from some of the locals. Felt very intimated by one local so left sharply. When we drove past he was standing at door with drink in hand having a cigarette. All I can say is missed out of money we would have spent there, All I can say is your loss

Not a great deal to say about this pub. Popped in here for a drink whilst on our way to Thirsk. Prices not too bad at just under £3 a pint. The pub is quite dated. Toilet is outside but inside if that makes sense. You open a door to go outside to go inside. Don't think on what I've seen I'd go for a meal. Drinks are OK.

A proper local pub with good food at good prices. The lounge area could benefit from more smaller tables for couples, that could be pushed together for larger groups instead of the 2 larger ones that fill the room. The food we had was perfectly cooked and a generous size & there was a large choice on the menu.

First of all, I would not recommend coming here if it's a nice meal you're looking for. The place itself is very dated and in need of redecorating. Some of the backs of the chairs were broken and really shouldn't have been for use. Clutter everywhere along the window sills etc which was a shame as the huge old windows with the decorated glass were just lost against the mess.Staff were reasonably friendly and showed us the menu board and asked us if we'd want drinks.Food is served throughout the day.Sunday lunch was advertised and looked like a good buy- 1 course was £8.50, 2 courses was £10.50 and 3 courses was £13.50.We ordered food and it just was not a very good standard. Starter- mozzarella dippers and chilli sauce was ok but nothing to shout about and the side salad was dire.Main- The beef was very thin, tough and gristly, the potatoes were undercooked, the gravy was very thin and had a funny taste to it. Veg was cooked quite well- the best part of the whole meal was the carrots!!We did not stay to sample and desserts.Was really looking forward to a good pub Sunday lunch but was left disappointed.Not worth the money and won't be returning. Would not recommend.

We did not receive a free breakfast in or rate at the Crown Hotel which is situated straight over the road from The Three Horse Shoes. so while having a drink on the afternoon we noticed the sign for breakfast, £3.50 for a small breakfast, but we had the large breakfast for £5 each.Breakfast was large and very nice with all the fry up trimming, fried bread mushrooms, beans and tomatoes, two fried bread egg and black pudding, hash browns and toast. The only fault was the tea and coffee area, please invest in an coffee and tea machine rather than the make your own tea urn water boiler. A very nice belly busting breakfast.

Called in for lunch while away in our caravan and the food was lovely and plentiful. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful.We decided to go back on the night for a drink and were made most welcome by the landlady and the locals. The atmosphere is friendly and the drinks well kept.This will be our "local" when we visit again.Well worth a visit if in the area.

Friendly staff serving standard beer at standard prices in a typical traditional pub. Quiet at lunchtime when we visited. Locals were friendly too. Only Stronbow cider on draught or fruity Rekorderlig cider available if you're a cider drinker.

Good ambitious, friendly staff and of course great taste and presentation. A little gem in the village. Lamb and stone bass dishes are incredibly scrumptious.

The beer is reasonable 2.90 for a pint and a 3 course Sunday meal for 13.25, actually no one can really grumble. It is also a friendly pub and is well situated.

Went with family great food friendly staff great service good portions for what you're paying and great atmosphere I would recommend a meal here within our first week off moving to the area we went here twice really impressed

Shame bit pub but needs some work, locals made you feel uncomfortable talk about staring I thought I had something wrong with me!

We visited when on a 2 night break staying in the Crown Hotel opposite. They were very welcoming here. Beer was very good and good choice real ales. The menu looked good but we didn't try it. Went back on evening when band were on they were talented musicians but the singer was avarage. Place was very popular with the locals, mixed age range in but a lot of 20 somethings but that was not a problem.Be aware they did have coaches of football fans stop off earlier in the day so can be noisy and busy.

The food was the worst I have ever tasted I ordered a chicken breast with salsa and cheese and it was cut into straps and it was floating with fat off the cheese and I couldn't taste the salsa The chips looked like they had been cooked many times I just had to leave it My husband tried to eat some of it because he was embarrassed because I had left it Anyway I won't be going back there again I won't even give it a one star it was that bad

We live near Boroughbridge and eat here often. We go for the early bird menu (from 4pm only £6) we vary rarely finish our meals as their portions are huge. The options I can remember are gammon, scampi, omelette, lasagne and some special. We generally have the gammon or the scampi so don't look at the menu. Occasionally we have been disappointed with the cooking of the chips, that is why I gave 4* not 5* but for value and portions they are 5*The staff are very friendly and helpful and also have rooms for dining more private to the bar.Paul

We decided to call in here having has a browse of the menu on the board outside. We were not disappointed, our meals were delicious, well cooked, served on clean piping hot plates (don't get that very often these days) Lady who served us was very obliging and pleasant, beer was well chilled. It is not the Waldorf or the Ritz but I will certainly use this hostelry again next time I am in Boroughbridge.

We came here for a family meal and unfortunately the food was dire, everything was swimming in fat, and very over priced. After the meal nearly all my family began to feel ill and couldn't get the taste of fat out of their mouths. All in all, it's was an unpleasant experience and a rip off. Do not recommend.

We just stopped for a couple of drinks before going elsewhere for a meal. Bar staff & locals were friendly. It had a few characters but this added to the entertainment value. They in the process doing some refurbishments but still clean & would be happy to go back.We didn't eat but did see the kitchen which was immaculately clean

Beside the fact it is a pub and the drinks were cheap, there was nothing redeeming about this place! Loud, unsightly, i did feel like later on in the day once everyone had a few too many i may be ruffled up if not careful.The lady behind the bar was friendly enough, but having a foreign accent did not do me any favours as I got looks i was not happy with, I may have been paranoid, but did not feel like one of the many regulars there. She was never rude or slow on service, but you do get a feel for a place by the way you are served.Food: would not eat it again if it was free! Portions were generous, but not tasty at all, thank goodness i had a few beers before hand or would have sent the whole parties food back! Again no one was rude or anything of the sort, but very bland, and looks like a regulars only pub.A helpful hint : SALAD DRESSING, even just olive oil and vinegar!

Worst pub I have ever visited, smelly loud vile needed a lick of paint. The decorations were hanging from the ceiling looked like someone had pulled them down. The customers were feral it was a very busy Saturday and one young man thought that his nudity round the pub was funny I was close to calling the police. I will not be returning ever.

We went there as we were hungry and saw a pub. I would HIGHLY recommend this pub. Portion sizes were unbelievable - we had nachos as a starter and gammon and eggs. The chips were WOW!!!Go there and avoid the services for a warm welcome and lovely atmosphere.

We stumbled on this little gem approx. 5 years ago on our way back to Birmingham after visiting friends in Middlesbrough. The atmosphere was friendly and the home cooked meals delicious. We made a special journey to this establishment from Birmingham about 12 months later with my daughter for her birthday, still we were impressed, and just this weekend we called in again, nothings changed the staff treat you as friends, and the food was in the words of my partner 'bostin'. My only gripe is the establishment is so far away, wish it was a little closer to home would definitely have regulars in us.

Good pub food cooked well, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and polite, I have been many times at different time and a large group and just a friend

Had lunch here on Bank hol Monday, fairly quiet but the huge portions were so tasty, definitely somewhere I would go again

We stayed nearby at the Crown so had already eaten when we called in for a drink.Inside it is like going into a time warp. The wood, glass and mirrors are a joy to behold. They certainly don't make pubs like this any more. There was a TV with Sky football on and a pool table tucked away at one end but it still had plenty of atmosphere. The menu looked varied and well priced with large portions.There was a good selection of cask beers and the three that I tried were all clear and well kept. We will call in again next time that we are in the area.

we went in with friends last xmas and frankly its dirty,smelly,loud, not pleasant i would never call in this place again.

After riding through 25 miles of rain from Pateley Bridge on the Way of the Roses ride, the four of us were very keen to rest and have lunch in Boroughbridge.The welcome in the Three Horsehoes was warm and very friendly, as for the next 90 minutes, the landlady let us dry off, offered to dry or clothes in the tumble dryer and let us use their games room to relax and have a home-cooked lunch, which was great value.

We came here by chance because the Crown was fully booked and we are so glad we did! What lovely food for cheap prices. Would recommend the gammon :)

We discovered this place by accident,we could not find a place that had suitable child menus.We ate there twice because the food was excellent,fresh produce at great prices.I cannot compare it to other restaurants in the area because we felt that when we had found a gem we might as well stick with it. One word of warning about three horseshoes dont eat a lot before you go the portions are huge

We eat at the Three Horse Shoes Regularly when we can't be bothered to cook for ourselves!. The food is always tasty with a good choice of dishes whether you want a full meal or just a snack. The starters and puddings are huge as are the mains so you definitely won't go away hungry. The staff are friendly and helpful and you never have to wait long for your meal. Perhaps not the place to go if you want a romantic table for two but if you want to join in with the locals and have a laugh as well as a first class good value meal than the Shoes is the place to go. Try the homemade Chicken Kiev or the Mixed Grill.

Im not a snob really, but this is very much down market and attracts many race clientele who tip up in bus loads....they have a whale of a time,....and in summer where are always customers outside by roadside, tattoos and vests. Need I say more.

We have recently returned from a 5 night trip to Boroughbridge and ate at the Three Horseshoes on four of those days. The food was really good on each occasion with generous portions at very reasonable costs. Staff are very friendly and obliging. We shall certainly eat there again. If you are very hungry try the mixed grill!
