Three Horseshoes in East Hertfordshire

What a lovely place to have a meal and a drink. Beautiful inside and out. A warm and cosy atmosphere. Food is really good and reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Thank you Rob and team for a lovely lunch!

Let me start by saying that we love this pub, it's close to home and during the pandemic we visited regularly to help them stay open. We get great atmosphere, food, drink and service. Today (Dec 2024) was top drawer in all respects. Well done team!

Food amazing, service excellent and lovely Christmas atmosphere, no rushing and no hassle just a perfect meal out, highly recommended, we will be back soon. Robert & Annette

Hands down the best pint of Guinness around (apart from Ireland of course!) …Food great quality, I’d recommend Sunday roast! (make sure you book in advance)…Tried most things on the menu over the past year and can’t fault anything! Also great selection of drinks, and the staff are all very friendly and professional. Keep doing what you’re doing 3 horseshoes. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

After a disastrous meal here a about 8 weeks ago, we where invited back for a meal for 2 on the house. I can honestly say the service and the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend it. I would like to thank vicky and her team for an excellent afternoon.

Lovely food, friendly, helpful staff

Lovely meal lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Thank you

Rob always looks after us very well. Foods good as always

Very disappointed food was really not good would not recommend

Food is good, Xmas set menu very expensive.

Table for 5. Starters were varied and all lacking any kind of finishing touch ie goats cheese with very little else. Halloumi fries, dry and burnt. Mains .... Lasagne was a disaster. Microwaved and left under a heat lamp until it was one inch thick and crunchy. It was bumped up with a few salad leafs and a sprinkling of parmasan which just didn't cut it!!! The chicken burger was passable but just soggy. Decided to give dessert a miss. In the meantime no drinks were offered at the table. When we asked for drinks, we watched them sit on the side for some considerable time before a member of our group collected the drinks and severed them. Overall very disappointed however one star earnt for good chips. We will not be returning any time soon and would most certainly not recommend.

Very impressed, party of 14, service was great, food was hot and tasty, great accommodation of food intolerances and preferences, staff were efficient and friendly. Highly recommend.

Excellent service, really liked the names and seating plan.

Had a lovely lunch at the three horseshoes today! Lovely cosy atmosphere with amazing food - amazing service too shoutout to Rob!

A 70th birthday celebration with my brothers and sisters. A brilliant evening was had by all.. great food, service ( by Hayley) and atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the staff lovely. Rob, our waiter, was exceptional

Very attentive service from Rob and delicious food, thank you!

Lovely place with a very inviting atmosphere we were served by rob who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The food was amazing cannot fault anything

Lovely decorations. However, it was a bit noisy for myself and my friend, being of the older persuasion a bit harder to hear. Once we moved tables we were fine. However, service was very good and food excellent.

The Hertfordshire branch of the MNDA had a lovely Christmas lunch on Monday 2nd December. Many thanks to Rob and the staff for the great food and all their help.

Lovely venue. Good food but portions a little large if having a three course meal.

Food was generally very good, but the taste of the fish was spoilt a bit by the crust on top. And the mushroom pie dish did not need the mash potato?

As someone with MND and being in a wheelchair, I must say that the waiter Rob was absolutely excellent

We had Rob as our server and he was brilliant, the food was gorgeous and the christmas atmosphere was fab for a midweek lunch!

Lovely meal, even better company!

Rob was very attentive, helpful and friendly Food was amazing Thank you

Fabulous little place! Great service, very polite, Served by Rob, great guy!

Food was absolutely spot on. And all the staff was so attentive especially our lovely server Rob.

Amazing food amazing survice. Had a great time. Will be coming back

Nicky served us today, service was second to none, very attentive and on the ball, drinks offered propmtly and plates cleared in a timely fashion. Fabulous dining experience, food was excellent. Will definitely return, if not for the food, then definitely for the amazing service!

Back for a second Sunday roast after visiting a few months ago. Had roughly the same meal but it was much smaller. Used to be a half roast chicken, which has shrunk down to just a breast of chicken for same price. Was not bad, but smallest piece of chicken l have ever been served. Roast potatoes were hard. Veg and gravy were ok. My partner's meal was a bit of a joke. Lamb shoulder which consisted of a few small pieces of pulled lamb, just strands, no actual pieces of meat. Wish we had gone for a carvery now. Yes the potatoes at a carvery may be hard too, but you wouldn't be left feeling hungry! The place was full so will be interesting to see if that continues. Nice helpful staff. Won't be back for Sunday roast though.

We had a lovely lunch there today. The bars looked very cosy and inviting - decorated with fairy lights for Christmas and there was a good woodburning stove. Service was good with staff apologising for any delays - due to the need for diligence when providing my gf food. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Lovely lunch, good food and very friendly staff served by Rob who was lovely. Would definitely come again

Throughly enjoyed a visit to the Three Horseshoes for a family meal. The service was great and accommodated well for a larger group. The food was outstanding. I would recommend the buttermilk thighs to start, the sauce and crispy onions to garnish made the dish. If you order the fish and chips, come hungry as the portions are very generous. All in all a great place to come with the family, nice atmosphere and well priced.

Pricey. Empty. Poor service. Food not nicely presented and they took do long forgetting to bring dessert menu to us the only option I wanted was not available. They did say they were a chef short but will not return.

It was delicious, everything was tasty.

Relaxing oasis! Very tasty food.

Brilliant staff, and great food!! Lovely welcoming atmosphere too

Went on a Sunday evening so it was a bit quiet. Tidy & modern.

Incredible food today, Sunday roast was spectacular. Very well organised, well staffed by a lovely group of people. Couldn't have asked for more. Our server was Sarah and she was delightful. Thank you everyone.

Our party of sixteen was sat around a table which would have comfortably sat ten, if the room had been larger. The walls were hard and the sound bounced back, a perpetual cacophony conversation that was ceaseless and inescapable. Fewer people and drapes on the walls are the very least that is needed to fix that. The food was expensive and small. I was too disorientated to eat anything else after my hellish experience. A friend told me that he ordered takeout when he got home because his expensive dinner had been so farcically small. It looks so nice there and there is good parking. Don't be fooled. Don't go.

Brilliant service as always. The staff are so kind and helpful and the food always delicious

Very nice there staff very helpful.

Always a favourite to visit and has a good, warm and friendly atmosphere. Great for all times of the year too, with plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces.

Great Sunday roast. Generous portions and very tasty.

Ok, nice staff, nice food would visit again

Portion sizes very small. We had a wagyu burger and chips (which looked like a kiddie portion). We mentioned this to the staff who were happy to bring us another cup of chips each. We also had a side of halloumi fries which were over cooked. Overpriced and not good value for money. Won’t be back

Lovely atmosphere. Quiet enough to have a conversation, unlike many eating places these days. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Popped in for an early dinner recently. Before I get to the food the service from the gentleman was superb and very attentive. The food however was rather varied in its ratings. The pretzel was nice but there didn’t seem to be the honey mustard as listed so there were two rather bland dips accompanying the beer cheese. The goats cheese tart can only be described as poor and empty and the steak and blue cheese pie was as my wife said ‘ too good to leave any!!’ I’d come in again for sure especially for a pie!!

Really nice lunch. Prompt service. Good atmosphere. Rob our waiter was very on the ball.

Ordered crab salad & a pasta dish both delish. Jake the server was very friendly & consciousness, especially as my friend had a few allergies. Sat in comfy chairs enjoying the garden view. This pub was recommended to us & will defo return.

Food was great, loads of gravy. Service from Rob was excellent, quick, polite and friendly

Rob looked us really well - very welcoming and a good laugh. Service was brilliant, food was very tasty as it always is at McMullen pubs

Tasty food and left full & satisfied. Staff are friendly and engaging. Made our lunch very relaxing and enjoyable.

Excellent food and great customer service 👌

Excellent attentive service. Good varied menu. Tasty food. Only criticism. Liver & bacon served in a bowl with mashed potatoes & swimming in gravy so the mash disintegrated. Would have been better served on a flat plate so that the ingredient could be eaten individually. But it was very tasty.

Lovely neat and stylish pub with plenty of selection, nice beer garden and friendly staff. Don’t be put off the lack of people in my pic; that may just be one of the good points!

Always a pleasure to be served by Rob and colleagues at the Three Horseshoes.

We went out for our Anniversary here, and I must say the experience was extremely pleasant. The food, service and drinks were 5/5.

Excellent!!! Catered for our request with a birthday cake, food was exceptionally good with my sisters husband saying the steak was cooked to perfection.

A quite retreat country pub. It offers a warm welcome to guests. There is live sport available. Well worth a visit.

We last visited the Three Horseshoes over 20 years ago, and having returned to the area, returned this bank holiday Sunday. The staff were very welcoming and efficient throughout our stay. Whether you eat inside or out, the ambience is relaxed, and the food was exceptional. Thank you, we won't be leaving it so long next time!

Used to come here regularly. It’s always been a lovely pub and still is. Shocked at how small the portions were and quite overpriced I feel. Sadly we probably won’t return.

Lentil/ courgette and halloumi main ok ,, bit bland. Triple cooked chips really good if there was more. Sticky toffee pudding was spot on but the espresso was dire i looks but tasted ok-ish. Not particularly smiley/friendly staff .

Somewhat disappointed at service as had to wait longer than necessary to be approached by someone in view of the number of staff to customer ratio. Staff very friendly nonetheless. Food was quite reasonable. Would still frequent it.

Lovely Sunday dinner, very good portions. Staff very friendly.Victoria severed us and was very helpful

Lovely place to eat. Very clean and tidy. We had roast lamb and roast beef with cauliflower cheese on the side for dinner and it was delicious.

The food is delicious, highly recommend the truffle and parmasian chips and the Mangalorian curry was amazing. Alex was a fantastic waiter, very cheerful and attentive! We shall be back!

Really nice food, decent portion sizes. I had fish and chips, the fish was skinless and beautifully battered and I got 2 big pieces, the minty crushed garden peas were really good as well. Lovely decor inside, they have a lovely garden as well.

Had a lovely lunch, very friendly staff, Thankyou!

Came to see a band playing on the garden. Band ( Hot Tub Steps) were excellent. It's just a shame there were not more people watching. We ate at the 3 horseshoes, and the food was fabulous. Potted prawns, scallops, and the buttermilk chicken Milanese are all highly recommended. Really nice pub with a very good outdoor seating area. Definitely recommend it, and we will be coming back.

It wasn’t busy inside when we were there however there was a choice to sit outside in the sun or inside in the lovely air conditioning. Mains were ok but nothing special and some felt portions were a little mean. Plagued by flies throughout the meal and stuck onto an uncomfortable table where there was barely any room to actually squeeze between the wall and the table. For the money paid this wasn’t a great experience. A bit disappointed to be fair.

Lovely place nice food great service

We went to the pub for Sunday lunch. I ordered the roast beef and, as I have issues with osteoarthritis, I asked for a steak knife, which the waitress said she would bring. 10 minutes later, as there was no sign of the knife and I had tried, unsuccessfully, to cut the very tough beef with an ordinary knife, I went inside to ask for one. The lady I spoke to brought me one and I mentioned that the beef was tough. Her response surprised me: "That should do the trick then," The manager heard the exchange and came out to our table to apologise and promptly brought some very tender beef. An excellent resolution to a complaint.

Lovely Sunday meal, relatively large group of 10. Good service, good food, good atmosphere. Not much more to add. Recommended. Thank you 😊

Just had lunch with Dad and the food and service ( Rob) was great. Wonderful place for a peaceful lunch, the gardens are beautiful.

Lovely lunch, quiet table - service quick and friendly

Good pub quiz on a Monday night

A lovely lunch as usual . Great service and food

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at Three Horseshoes. The roast was very tasty and a wide variety on offer. Great staff who were friendly and a bit cheeky which we found appropriate given

Wonderful food! Roast lamb was incredibly lean, flavoursome, and beautifully cooked - this was an absolute selling point for me. The roast beef was perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth. Roast potatoes were crisp, sides were cooked perfectly, were brilliantly seasoned, and the gravy was delicious. Staff were friendly, polite, professional and approachable - they left us alone to eat our meal but attended to us very well. Overall experience (especially considering we visited for a last minute sunday lunch with no recommendation or experience) was extraordinary. We will without doubt be returning to sample more from the menu.

Could not fault anything everything was first class.

Sadly one of the worst meals we have ever eaten, Crab & Asparagus salad, gritty and hardly any crab. Pork from the specials menu, only comment my friend could make was that the vegetables were nice, and the mash taste funny, and my Mozzarella and Sun blushed tomato salad with king prawns was nothing sort of dire, both salads as previously mentioned, were full of grit and looked like they had been thrown on the plate from the other side of the kitchen. The beer is £2 more expensive than most other pubs & my gin was sadly tasteless. The one star was for the nice waitress.

Restaurant is gorgeous, has an outside pond with turtles in and a large green area for kids to run around. Food is superb and above normal pub quality, great range of drinks and have always had exceptional service.

Love the pub makeover, food was fantastic and our Waitress, Victoria could not have been more attentive. Fantastic experience

Very nice food and friendly efficient service by Rob.

I had lunch here, lovely place, the outside surroundings were lovely, fountain ⛲️ in the background, good idea 💡 especially on a sunny day. The staff ,very presentable & professional, drinks, Absolutely perfect, Peroni on draft. The Mains, a trio of Roasts Inc striploin of Beef, Pork loin & Half Roast Chicken , tenderstem Brocoli, buttered carrots & Red Cabbage, Roast potatoes, stuffing, crackling & yorkie. Sounds lovely, well some of it was & some wasn't. Beef was spot on(Rare), pork loin(Tender), Chicken(perfect), the veg let it down. 2 slithers of carrot, more stem than Brocoli & Red cabbage, where was it , the Roast potatoes needed a steak knife to cut through, they were like Cannonballs,the stuffing was dry n hard , crackling & yorkie, OK. The Plate was too Small for the dinner, I know Chefs like to get height for a meal, but you had to deconstruct b4 you could start & like I said the plate too small. The Desserts. Green apple & Blood Orange Sorbet, I wanted something to cleanse my palate, Omg Absolutely Delicious, the 2 together, Awesome 👌, I would've bought a tub of both & to be honest I thought the dessert was better than the main , my partner had Roast Beef, her thoughts were like mine, although she did enjoy the striploin of Beef, her Dessert was Lemon & white chocolate parfait with chocolate sauce & crushed freeze dried raspberries , again Delicious. Overall the Meal was somewhat Delicious, Staff , fantastic Well done Macs.

We organised a 'Wake' to be held here after a funeral.. it was a lovely bar, the staff were amazing and so accomodating, a credit to the pub! And the food buffet was execetional, vast selection of snackie food, that was delcious. Highly recommend bookin a function at the venue!

Top 🎩 for all the service provided

Very nice Sunday roast served in a large bowl.

Curry wasn't good. Excellent service just didn't care for the food.

Friendly staff. Quick service. Tasty food. Very nice cosy atmosphere. Idea for a date. Will definitely be back again.

Helpful, friendly staff, Rob was very attentive and always nearby.

Food was great, service very good

Dropped in for a bite to eat. Service was great, food nice.

Been driving past here for years. Glad we came in. Lovely food and great experience. Rob was really friendly and welcoming.

Visited twice recently in May and July, both times food and service fantastic, we will surely be back again soon

Came from Somerset to take the family out. Lovely food. The Roast Shoulder of Lamb was lush. Yorkshire Pudding was light and a lot of Roast Potatoes (6) but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thank you.

Excellent, would recommend more cows on the field though.
