Three Horseshoes in East Hertfordshire

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.

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!

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

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.

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 usually get great atmosphere, food, drink and service. Today, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. Most of the table ordered roast beef, which came out pretty rare. It was well beyond the pinkness of any roast beef I've seen before. There was no communication at point of order to check the cooking approach was going to be ok. The rareness meant two people didn't touch the meat on a £20 roast, while 2 others didn't enjoy it. The server belatedly offered to take the dinners back and cook them further, but by this point it was too late. I ordered the chicken supreme, which didn't turn up when the other meals were served and nobody said anything. Eventually I had to enquire where the meal was. My main was good quality, well cooked and tasty, but the service deficiency took the shine off it. 5-10 mins must have elapsed between the rest of the table being served and me receiving mine. The polite diners who waited for me to be served had cool dinners by then. If an expectation of a delay been set, that could have been avoided. When it came to dessert, it seems the prices have shot up and the quality has been managed down. Mine was a lemon meringue stack. This consisted of a lemon tart with barely a hint of lemon, a tasteless lemon curd and a soggy wet meringue over the top that had been lightly blow torched. Needless to say I won't order that again. The chocolate sphere provided novelty and theatre, but not flavour. The main issue today however was communication. I hope normal service is resumed next visit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Very nice there staff very helpful.

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

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.

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

Excellent food and great customer service 👌

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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

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.

Lovely place nice food great service

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.

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.

Good pub quiz on a Monday night

Lovely lunch, quiet table - service quick and friendly

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.

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

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

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

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.

Was served by Bob and he is very kind and attentive.

Lovely ambiance and great service, a lovely lunch break 😀

Amazing food, great service and very clean!

Lovely lunch here today, our meal was delicious in addition to the attentive and superb service from Rob. Look forward to our return.

Food was well above average and the service was excellent and prompt. Good car park facilities and a very pleasant ambience.

Lovely food and brilliant service from Rob!

Good food, excellent service from Olivia T. Would recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Really nice food. The service was excellent our waiter Rob was fantastic. So attentive and friendly All round great experience

Phenomenal party and events venue! The food and service is a ten out of ten. Exceptional.

An afternoon party for our 80 year old family friend was brilliant and the venue was perfect! Emma and Will made the most sumptuous, scrumptious, delicious food! The staff are all outstanding too. Phenomenal customer service all round. The area at the back is perfectly designed and set out for small to medium parties (20 to 30 people). We will most certainly book our next office and family party at The Three Horseshoes! Oh and did I mention the fabulous food?! Yes, ten out of ten!

Pleasant chef and brewer pub restaurant. Pleasant and polite staff. Good choice of food , well cooked and presented. Good range of beers

Lovely place lovely staff, Rob was great..lots of tables so you don’t feel on top of each other, I will certainly return..food was excellent! xx next time we will try and fit a pudding in!!

Haven't been been a while as our last visit wasn't great. Had driven past a few time and saw it's had a makeover and thought we'dgive it another go. Our visit was great, the food was so much better, definitely recommend the starters 4 for £26 section and the service was heaps improved, we had a lovely chatty young man, didn't get his name but he was just lovely. The decor definitely looks much better than before and we'll definitely be making another visit soon.. :0)

Lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. Brown butter courgette and bacon rigatoni was delicious

Thursday lunch, great food and staff were very friendly.

Very good to meet Rob again. Had a good entertaining time.

Had a very pleasant time Had the fish of the day which was very nice. Rob was our server today and was very helpful and attentive Over all a very nice experience.

Had a lovely time here. Had some great fish specials on which is rare to see these days. Can’t wait to come back again. Good all round

Had a pasta dish which cost around £15 to say the least the portion was very small,and not worth the money, there was probably around 10 pieces of pasta and probably a quarter of courgette,there was supposed to be bacon in the recipe, but there wasn't any,have been here many times as I love this pub and surroundings,but the food let it down,which is such a shame definitely not value for money.

Had a lunch meeting with a colleague here. Got a big welcome on the way in and the staff looked us very well. Food was very tasty too.

Recently refurbished, pop in with the dog 🐕 for a pint in the beer garden. Extremely friendly atmosphere

Very nice food stop on the way through Stevenage.

We had a lovely meal. Service was great - very friendly waitress’s and we didn’t wait long for food. We had burger 🍔 with cheese, chicken burger (packed with loads of crispy chicken pieces), lovely crispy chips and crab & asparagus salad (it was a bit bland and could have done with a tastier more flavourful mayonnaise). My daughter had a mocktail which was nice enough it was overpriced at £10. For deserts we had cherry pie which was lovely and the hot drink small desert option - I had the maple waffle. Corner cut off the already mini waffle??? Just give the person the whole mini waffle. £98 for the 3 of us excluding tip. Great varied menu. Yes I would return.

This is one of our regular places to eat. Good food (love new menu), always good service.

Food lovely and well cooked, Staff friendly, personable and attentive Thank you
