Three Horseshoes in Aylesbury Vale

One of the best pub lunches I have ever had anywhere - the beer was very good too. Staff were welcoming and cheerful, food excellent.

This is a traditional pub in many ways. It does have a bar/pub area with a hearth, a completely separate dining room also with a hearth, a separate nice covered patio, and a large outdoor area with play area for kids. I always enjoy coming here. The Sunday roast is very good and reasonably priced. Cannot complain and highly recommend a visit. The staff are always very welcoming.

Great friendly pub ,food excellent infront of a wood fire ,just a pity for the owners it is not a tad busier at lunch times.

Lovely traditional inn. Great breakfast, clean well equipped rooms….Guinness and whisky good in the bar too….great stay on way to RAF Halton. Highly recommended!

Great pub and superb food / drinks choice . Lovely barmaid Lilly ( bit biased as she’s our granddaughter!😊)

We went to this lovely establishment midweek for an evening meal. The food was reasonably priced, served quickly and on hot plates with ample condiments. The service was pleasant and not intrusive. The food was simply delicious! Would highly recommend!

I have been to the Three Horseshoes for drinks. and always found it pleasant. Today my wife and I made a reservation for Sunday roast. My beef was perfect. My wife says the same for the lamb. The vegetables were excellent as well. The Yorkshire pudding was particularly good. The wine was excellent and very reasonably priced. I look forward to coming back often.

After waiting for the chip van to show up, it was too late so I came here and ordered scampi and chips, it was fantastic and was definitely something to call a friday lunch. Well done guys. :)

Cheddington is blessed with two excellent pubs, each a little different. This is the smaller of the two and is the cosier for it, stone flagged floors, open fire, excellent ale and food and a welcome from the staff. It’s everything you think of when you think of a small country pub and it’s well worth finding.

Back again to this wonderful country pub. Tradionally old fashioned, log fires burning - bliss. Three roast dinners, one nut roast, one child's dinner. All plates scraped clean. Then dessert. Yummy! Clean surroundings, nice decor. Friendly, helpful staff. Very reasonably priced food. Car park.

Revisited this charming pub and had a thoroughly tasty meal. My wife had a vegetarian curry with pilau rice, mini popadoms and mango chutney with she enjoyed. I had a huge ploughmans lunch. Then we finished the meal with traditional dessert. Yum. Good menu, reasonable prices. Specials board. Roaring log fire. Olde worlde charm. Friendly hosts. Very clean, nice decor. Large car park.

I eat here regularly as part of a club - the lunches are all good value and very tasty. Have also eaten as a couple a few times - lunch menu is varied - service is sometimes slow but definitely worth a visit and it's good to have competition for custom!

Quaint pub in the countryside. Full of character and local history. Returned to sample the new vegetarian food on the menu. My wife had 'Mike's Bad Boy Burger' (vegetarian, spicy, orientally inspired) and was delighted with it. I opted for lamb and mushroom Rogan Josh off the specials board which was equally tasty. Both were reasonably priced. Clean and nice decor. Friendly staff. Beer garden with children's play area. Car park.

After a walk we popped in, the barman was so cool, he let me try 2red wines and was generous. Then we ordered the last 2 Beef Roasts OMG...the BEST!!! Highly recommend really tasty.

Good food and reasonable prices but....VERY SLOW SERVICE. From ordering to food on table was forty-five minutes.

Good food simply cooked! Traditional country pub serving good beers and straightforward lunches. Enjoyed the Sunday lunch. Excellent tender beef and tasty nut roast served hot with good selection of veg

Decided to go back to the fab country pub now their kitchen is up and running. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Varied menu but not so big as to make choosing too difficult. Not expensive either. Large enclosed garden. Haven't tried the Sunday roast yet but will def be going back. NB. - Food not available on Monday.

Went to the Three Horseshoes for a couple of quiet Saturday afternoon drinks. Not many in but made for a nice afternoon talking and watching the rugby. Staff are always nice and friendly serving good quality beers and wines. Note to self: must come back for a Sunday roast dinner.

Really lovely & very friendly pub! The staff are always so polite, helpful & accommodating. Cheddington is so lucky to have this gem!

Had the misfortune to have to get off my train at Cheddington due to a blockage on the railway line, so I found this pub on my phone and walked it. I was very pleased to have visited such a warm and cozy pub, initially fairly quiet with a few friendly and chatty locals in it. Gradually the pub got busier as more stranded passengers found their way there. I arranged to be picked up, and in the meantime had a pleasant beer or two by the fire... We must return one day when they are serving food!

It has a saloon and public bar. Neither are very big, but the atmosphere is friendly. We had the Sunday roast in the public bar. It is popular, so you need to book early. The food was excellent, good value and with a good guest beer on tap. The pub wasn't that warm initially, but improved when the heating came on. It was a shame that the fire wasn't lit as it was a chilly day and would have added to the ambience of the place. The garden is a good size, although it was not the weather for this when we visited. The staff and locals are friendly and overall, this pub is well worth a visit. I'd be happy to go there regularly if it was my local.

Lovely country pub with very friendly staff. Excellent Sunday roast. Guest ale's always available. There is a large fenced garden (safe for the kids to play in.

Lovely pub with fresh local ales. Newly decorated. Clean and cosy. We all loved it! A great evening with friends from abroad. We'll be back soon!

Popped in after a walk -will visit again -cosy - nice Xmas decorations -friendly owner and lots of nice personal touches -lovely clean toilets

The shoes is a lovely village pub. And people are really friendly and the staff are always welcoming. So if you have to post a derogatory comment. I suggest you take your custom to chain pub with no personality. Just like you

Este pub no puede ofrecer, productos lácteos, huevos carne libres opciones. Sin duda en un pub era sólo yo, mi marido y un representante como clientes. Que hubiera podido venir con algo. verduras, arroz tostado quizás, plato de pasta, incluso una ensalada? No ... nos...

Un pequeño pub, los nuevos propietarios son tan amable como la anterior, perfecta para un trabajo posterior pinta en el sol. Jardín de niños y acogedores interiores. No probé la comida, pero hacen un bistec noche que tendrás que probar, y hay un intrigante polaco...

He estado aquí dos veces, pero sólo el jardín de cerveza cuando allí con un amigo, ya que no es evidente por la calle (y yo fui allí). Equipo de juegos para los niños, que incluye un trampolín. Es un pub adecuado con comida decente y agradable jardín definitivo es una buena elección para un niño de cerveza.

Not your real English pub have been to better. Wasn't impressed by the staff either could have been friendlier. Was horrified the see the beer taking four pulls to fill a pint glass

Go to this pub a lot with my husband and our dog. Under new management now but still a great place to go. Food is always good. Only thing I would say is as a vegetarian it would be nice to have a few more options on the menu. However saying that a lot of pubs we've been to are lacking in this area.

Lovely little pub, friendly locals. Landlords and staff excellent. Food is smashing as is the atmosphere.Definitely worth a visit.

Four of us stopped here for an early dinner prior to going to a dance in the local hall which is just a short walk away so no drinking and driving! Plenty of parking.The dining room is small so you need to book and it still has saloon and lounge bar signs on the doors when you go in.! Takes you back!It has changed hands and the welcome was very friendly and we were served home cooked food quickly in spite of the few numbers of staff. Prices are reasonable we would definitely go again.

Good quality food in a friendly family pub. Also has a range of ales and other drinks available. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We went here for Sunday lunch, not expecting much but were absolutely amazed! The Sunday lunch was the best we've had in ages, lamb shank, 2 yorkshires, roast pots and parsnip, very fresh veg. The garden is great for kids with lots of play equipment..the decor is of a local pub, but food brill and staff very friendly.

Went with a group of 6 including two young children. In the round it was a good experience and the children enjoyed the well equipped and safe play area.Food service was quite quick on what was a busy day.Food quality was good.The downside is that although at time of booking I explained I needed gluten free the food choice was very limited and I was told that none of the desserts was suitable and no alternative was offered.As you might expect that because I was not able to enjoy a dessert others politely declined to order and we left.So the potential to sell 6 desserts was lost?From a purely commercial point of view restaurants need to realise that the failure to offer gluten free results not only in the loss of custom to those requiring gluten free option but the entire group they are with.I should add that I felt confident that the food I was served was perfectly okay for me and that the staff understood what was, and was not gluten free.

I recently visited this pub and found it to be a really friendly pub and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. I walked there from the canal (jacanna is my boat) along with my friend. Its about a mile but I felt it was well worth the walk. Its dog friendly too. I will certainly visit this pub again. Anne.

Just had another lovely meal here, even though the pub was very busy the staff were lovely and the food great, such a pleasant garden. Fortunately we had booked for 5 of us as it was so busy some people were turned away understandable really if there are several of you always wise to book in advance.

Judging by the good reviews, our visit must have been an off day as we gather the owners were away. We arrived as two families today at lunchtime one of which got served food and the other shortly after was told they couldn't order food as they hadn't pre booked. We had sat down with our food and now our other friends could eat with us! After complaining, they finally managed to order some food from an older woman on the bar who seemed hacked off she had to take another order, and was quite short with our friends to be honest.A group of cyclists were also turned away..as they had not pre booked. What a weird pub.Shame as the food was reasonable.

We had looked for a convenient place between Gerrard’s Cross and Northampton where we could entertain our friends to lunch. We found the Three Horseshoes on-line and it had good reviews. On arrival it was friendly and welcoming, but very small and cosy, ideal for a village pub. Even though it was a weekday, the saloon bar soon became very busy, and noisy, and it was quite difficult to hear our conversation. In retrospect, it would have been better to have gone into the Lounge Bar which was very much quieter but which we had not seen on entering the pub. For us, it was not quite the right place to entertain our guests but it really works well as a friendly village pub.

The Three Horseshoes is genuinely remarkable, a tiny pub with a big heart. We had booked a table for Sunday lunch, without which the only available seats were at outside tables. The limited space indoors has to accommodate diners, drinkers, domino players and when the footie is on fervent fans. This makes for a vibrant atmosphere, if you are looking for a quiet meal with moments of reflection forget it. If you are after laughter and a proper village pub serving astonishingly good grub look no further. The cooking was of the highest quality, squid starters (always a tester) that just couldn't have been bettered and excellent options for Sunday roast or a less traditional stir fry. It seems scarcely credible that a pub with so few covers offers such amazing food but it simply does. Wonderful.

Wonderful food, great service and a birthday bonus for my husband as he sneakily watched Liverpool win! Thank you to Nell and all the staff for a great evening

Having been staying in Ivinghoe for a few weeks whilst doing some work in nearby Pitstone, I've been fortunate enough to be able to eat and drink at the Three Horseshoes several times recently. I have to say that this charming, friendly little village watering-hole is the best pub I have visited in many years. The beer is kept perfectly - choice of Bombardier or Golden Hen, and the homemade food is amongst the best I've ever had in any pub, anywhere. My favourite on the regular menu is the Beef and Guinness pudding, but there are also "specials" available frequently, which are equally delicious. If I had a pub like this near where I live in Monmouthshire I'd be divorced and bankrupt.

First time visit. Lovely food, served hot, huge portions. Opted to share the bread and dipping oil with olives, followed by homemade lasagne and chicken, ham and mushroom pie, both with chips, which were amazing. Friendly staff. Will definitely be returning

Nell the Landlady cooks food like you would not believe - it is yummy and scrumptious and always very busy. A must in the village. Well done Nell.

A small quaint country pub with separate small saloon and public bars on either side of the entrance both with fires burning when we called. Good choice of ales on draught incl Speckled Hen. We had Liver and Mash and Beef and Guinness pie. Both really excellent and served in a timely fashion despite a large private birthday party that had booked the Saloon bar at the time we visited. Large portions too. £28 approx for these two dishes incl a glass of white wine and a pint of Hen. Very helpful service from the staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The walk from Leighton Buzzard took longer than expected, the staff were so helpful and kind, keeping the kitchen open to ensure that we had fantastic roast dinners to round off the long walk! The food was brilliant, the service with a smile and a welcome for our springer spaniel too! Perfect - thank you so much

Last weekend seventeen family members met at this pub for lunch. We had been in touch with the pub in the week before but it was impossible to confirm definite numbers or pre order. They were exceptionally helpful and had laid tables ready for our arrival. The food was excellent and the staff-Jules and Rich were front of house-absolutely brilliant. We all returned again in the evening and had a really enjoyable time. Will return when next in the area.

Fabulous little pub, serving delicious food way over and above the normal in terms of choice, quality and value. Always some unusual and beautifully presented "specials" on offer. However, for anyone who wants more traditional pub grub, the ham, egg & chips is superb - oh! and don't miss steak night.It pays to book a table if you want to eat in the little "snug", as table spaces are limited, but the downstairs bar is more spacious if not as intimate.

I live halfway between this pub and the other pub in Cheddington. For food, drink, atmosphere, friendliness, the Three Horseshoes is always the pub of choice. My wife and I have been eating and drinking in "the shoes" for nine years and have never been disappointed. A menu of good home cooked food and excellent choice of beer are always worth a visit. You will be welcomed by staff and regulars alike. Try it once and you'll be back.

If you want great simple, honest delicious food then "The Shoes" as the locals call it is for you. Great Sunday lunch in a friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.

In my humble opinion this is the best pub in the surrounding area. The food is all freshly cooked, the portions are superb and its amazing value for money. I am on a strict gluten free diet and I always get catered for wonderfully.I would recommend this to anyone, it is suitable for families, couples, groups of friends or people on their own - everyone is made welcome by the staff and regulars.

We are quite demanding customers and eat out regularly in different areas of the country as you can see from other reviews. What we require is great food for great value whether it be a £10 takeaway or a £100 meal. What you get at the Three Horseshoes is very high quality, home-cooked food at sensible prices, served with efficiency and friendliness- also with great beer and good wine at sensible prices again. There is a standard menu which has homemade pies and puddings, pizzas, light dishes such as bubble and squeak with egg hollandaise, homemade pate and toast, etc etc and there are almost always interesting Specials too. What is not be delighted with in that? Ignore the stupid reviewer earlier who complained about it being categorised on here as a restaurant- it is clearly a pub with great pub food, no mass produdced tasteless rubbish here. We have eaten here many times, brought friends here, had celebrations here and often choose to eat here rather than go further afield for "smarter" food. If you want tasty, well priced food, a pint and a warm welcome- this is for you.

My family went on a cycle ride to Cheddington and we came across this Pub. The food is proper home cooked pub grub at a reasonable price, just what so many Pubs get wrong, this one gets right. Will definitively go again!

The food here is delicious, the Bombardier is addictive, great village pub, full of characters, very welcoming staff - book to avoid disappointment.

Was close to a four, however the outside gents was a little parky. Found this place by accident, a lovely village pub with a cozy atmosphere and good food. I would reccomend a visit.

Food here is excellent. Have eaten here for years and have never been disappointed. All food is home cooked and always a good choice. Sunday Lunch is excellent.Place is small but very very welcoming with great staff. A great Village pub.

We've been enjoying the food at the Three Horseshoes for almost 5 years now and can honestly say the food is consistently superb! Delicious, home cooked, reasonably priced and with a good selection to choose from. The pub is nice and cosy, with two open fires and we always feel welcome - hence why it's been our most popular choice since moving to a nearby village.

As you walk into the "Shoes" you are struck by it being traditional, "old fashioned" and certainly not trendy. But, and this is it's strength. From the Landlady down, all the staff are very welcoming. This is a classic village pub which also happens to serve wholesome food very well. The beers and the range of wines on offer are excellent. The food is varied and freshly prepared and ranges from the traditional English ( Carved Ham, Egg & chips or Sausages & Mash) to some very imaginative specials from the blackboard. Various themed nights happen occasionally and there is a regular - monthly - Steak night, which is always well attended. The meat is locally sourced from a quality supplier. If you are reading this and you still haven't been, phone and book! You will be glad you did!

Quite honestly, the best food & reasonably priced. The Landlady (Nell) also has an excellent range of quality wines & beers at realistic prices, with a friendly atmosphere-no wonder the pub is so popular! We regularly enjoy this pub with my father who never seems to want to go anywhere else!

A christmas meal for 16 all served with a genuine smile, hot and on time. Everyone said it was the best dinner for years. All made to feel very welcome and would return on a regular basis. Good food and at a very reasonable price. Thank you to all the staff and the lovely Nell (landlady).

My wife and I are fairly local but we have eaten in the "Shoes" only on the odd occassion.On each visit we have been increasingly impressed. The food is a delight and all of it is home cooked by the landlady who in my opinion deserves a Michelin star. ! We had fillet steaks on our last visit and I can say I have never tasted better.The pub is small but cosy and the open fires in the Winter months are a joy.I am a beer drinker and I was not dissapointed with the real ales served by friendly staff.Prices are reasonable for a varied menu including "specials"Well worth a visit !!

We decided to try the Three Horseshoes, having had a poor experience elsewhere in the village. Yes, this is a proper pub, where people go for a drink as well as to eat, but this does not detract from it and there is a friendly atmosphere. The food was very clearly home-made and very tasty, with great portions. We enjoyed our evening there and were made welcome. A bit further to walk from the canal, but well worth the extra half a mile!

from the reviews I visited this little pub as I was led to think it was a restaurant and expecting something really good considering this website listing - what a disappointment! from the moment I stepped into the place I felt uncomfortable. Food below what would be expected of a good pub let alone a restaurant and the beer was terrible! Top marks for creative description!

We visited the 3 Horeshoes recently and have to say that we found the staff really friendly, lovely food, great atmosphere and good value for money,I would recommend the 3 Horseshoes to all my friends and will be visiting again shortly.

Food is all home made and superb, very good value for money, with a wonderful team of staff who really seem keen to make sure you have an enjoyable evening. Pub grub favourites on the menu steak and Guiness pie/pudding, ham egg and chips the list goes on, it also has some dishes with a modern twist - stir fry, curry etc. with the daily special and Take out Pizza they do it all. The one not to be missed Pie Night every tuesday. We had pie and a pint for £9.95 - it was excellent in taste and in value. Good home cooked food, fresh and tasty and very good value. Thanks to Nell and Ritchy and the team we will be back.

I have eaten here twice recently and have been impressed on both occasions! All I can say is, the food is simple but fresh and plenty of it, served piping hot! Good home style cooking and not mass produced rubbish! Highly recommended!

This is a genuinely friendly pub with excellent home cooked food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. We have eaten here at lunchtime and in the evening on many occasions and always been delighted. In good weather the lovely family friendly garden is ideal for Nell's Sunday roasts.

Lovely country pub run by very welcoming landlady, Nell. It has two bars (known to the locals as the ‘top’ and ‘bottom’) both of which have real fires. Home cooked food at very reasonable prices (not available Saturday & Sunday evenings). The top bar (on the left as you enter) is the smaller bar and can get espcially busy on a Friday night. We live in the village and think this is an all round great pub - we have eaten here many times and never been disappointed with the food, prices or service – Nell’s pizzas are legendary! Another little bonus is that it’s about a 10 minute walk from Cheddington station if you fancy leaving the car at home!
