Three Horseshoes in East Staffordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wow - what a good find. On looking for somewhere for Sunday lunch we thought we’d give this traditional looking pub a try. At the rear it opens up into a quote a large dining area with table service. At the front is a traditional and characterful bar. The Sunday roasts were absolutely spot on and of very high quality. I particularly liked the honey glazed carrots - and they were great value for money. The service was excellent too and we couldn’t fault it. Would definitely recommend.

I dont usually write complaints and I did write and send an email which was not responded to but I felt I had no other option than to review after after lunch on the 14th July. Myself, husband and daughter had Sunday lunch with you and were very disappointed. The chicken and pork along with accompanying vegetables were lukewarm. The cauliflower cheese was congealed in a blob. Service was extremely slow for food and drinks, yet the place was empty. Opted for dessert. Ordered lemon meringue and a trio of ice cream. On reading back the order, no mention of the lemon meringue. I repeated that I'd like the lemon meringue only to be met with "we don't have any". Would of been nice to have been told on handing us the dessert menus. Over the years, we've visited on numerous occasions and always raved about the service and the food. On this visit, not so. We realise that the England football match was showing that evening and as a result, bookings for dinner were later and the kitchen working extended hours, but it just felt like no one cared this lunch time? No ambience either, music not even on. Such a shame, always been our go to.

Perfect late lunch. Beer battered haddock baguette was gorgeous.

Really nice visit today with my family. Food was delicious, definitely better than normal ‘pub grub’. Can highly recommend! The mug shot art kept us entertained too!

The best meal out I think I’ve ever had! Dietary needs were accommodated - lactose intolerant daughter was over the moon to find an indulgent dessert she could actually have - and nothing was too much trouble. Cool decor and incredible food, highly recommended

Great food, really nice atmosphere and lovely staff.

Midweek meal with friends on steak night. We had been before, and we enjoyed it so much, we returned. We will certainly be back again. Lovely steaks, nice welcoming and friendly staff. Steak night is excellent value for money. I would recommend it, particularly if you're a steak lover!

Just had a takeaway from here as i do most Fridays and WOW, one of this weeks specials the goat curry. Absolutely incredible. Never get a bad meal from this place and I am always welcomed by the great staff. Highly recommend.

Looking for a brilliant village local pub with really well-kept beer and good wine? Great, you've found one. Looking for a pub where you can have really good, tasty, simple bar meals by an open fire? Great, you've found one. Looking for a restaurant that does high-end, innovative gastro food with a focus on local ingredients and a rotating specials menu? You've found that too. An absolute gem of a place, becoming a regular haunt for my wife and I and our little 3 year old who always gets a warm reception for an evening treat. Great staff, too.

I visited for the first time during the Christmas period for a works christmas meal. We had a 3 course meal which was delicious and very well presented! All the staff were polite and very friendly. This pub definitely has a family feel to it and is a place I will be visiting again and recommending to my friends and family.

Very rude and uninterested staff. Basically couldn’t be bothered with us. We had to keep asking for drinks and felt in the way. We couldn’t see the menu it was so dark. Food was lukewarm and four of us were sick after eating. We couldn’t eat much of the meal because it was cold. Wouldn’t go again. Very disappointed.we came on Sunday 10th December with our family. The girl who served us should have been trained to do the job properly. When serving 8 people perhaps a tray should be used? Or all three of the girls serving help. It’s basic common sense. Food should be served hot especially pork. Food very bland cold and tasteless. When I had to keep asking for gravy sauces etc she couldn’t cope and disappeared. Manager’s fault for using young inexperienced girls and not training them.

Food cooked fresh, large portions. Great drink selection.

Visited for a works Christmas party and had three very tasty courses. Absolutely lovely meal. Great, efficient and attentive service. Pleasing selection of drinks, very easy to find a favourite. Welcoming ambience and warm atmosphere.

Went for Sunday roast for a big birthday as stopping nearby. The Christmas menu was only one available, still Christmas Dinner is essentially a Sunday roast whether it was an excuse to put up the price or if the Sunday roast is always over £15 we don't know as never been before. I had turkey, nice turkey. Hubby had pork, nice too he said. Roast potatoes OK but very difficult get a fork into, bit too crispy! Veg squares of carrot, ok; roast parsnips, yuck. Even son in law and our daughter didn't like them and they both normally like parsnips which to be fair I do not. Red cabbage, not sure what had been doing to the red cabbage but none of us enjoyed the taste. Sprouts well you always get sprouts with Christmas Dinner, sadly we don't really like them very much, nothing fancy done to them, just boiled sprouts. Sigh. The desserts weren't to my taste either, all seemed to have some kind of added alcohol, so a no from me. I had the small portion of dinner and although the turkey tasted nice there wasn't much of it really, stuffing was hard and overdone, the one tiny pig in blanket you needed a good eye to spot it, it was so small. The service was really slow, the people serving nice, don't get me wrong they were friendly, helpful and smiley. It just was a long wait for mains. The walk to the toilets my daughter reported to be an expedition as it was very cold! She had been warned by her dad that it was freezing as the door stood wide open, she put her coat on to go and came back with it clutched tightly around her! Thankfully I was saved from the trip as I didn't need to use the facilities for which I was very grateful. The meal was overpriced, the £7.95 or thereabouts for my smaller portion would have been a fairer price for the meal served. Luckily we don't live in the area, we were stopping nearby so won't visit again.

First time visit The three Horseshoe staff are helpful and polite

We booked all three rooms at the b&b for the weekend which were great value for money and comfortable. We had dinner on the Friday night, the fish and chips were some of the best I’ve had. Great wine selection too.

Popped into The Three Horseshoes on the way back home from Barton Marina (a mile away). It was a lovely roast dinner at a very good price. A shared roast for 2 people was £29.99 with beef, chicken, and pork with the trimmings. Staff very pleasant. As the weather was nice, we were able to eat in the courtyard at the back as we had our dog, too, and a bowl of water was provided.

The best fillet steak I have ever eaten! Thanks to Dave’s great cooking & Paul Shum butchers for the cut - perfect 👌

Absolutely fantastic meal tonight, starter, main and desert, the steak was absolutely amazing. Service was top notch, they couldn’t do enough for us. I would highly recommend

Phenomenal meal as always. Service was fantastic, and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend. Dave, Molly and team are an absolute laugh!

An amazing Sunday dinner with lovely friendly staff! Will always come back!!

I'm reluctant to leave a review because then it'll get more popular and ill not get a table ,,loved the place ,,food was fab ,, service was great,, Grace was a treasure,,thanks guys we'll be back

Very nicely decorated. Helpful staff, very clean. Beautifully presented food. These guys also accept cash.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Thank you Dave and his lovely team

This local pub was ran by a couple for years and always had great food, it was sold around 2020 and was never the same…. Until now, pleasant staff on arrival, it is a limited menu choice but what was on offer was of high quality and our party of 3 were extremely happy, the manager made sure we were happy on serving and again 10mins later, particularly good as this is usually forgotten these days. Cracking pint of Guinness served AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE, well worth a visit !

I had a 8oz gammon with fried egg and pineapple with chips and a grilled tomato and I got a portion of onion rings absolutely brilliant couldn’t fault anything. The manager and his staff really looked after me coming a couple of times asking if if I needed anything I will recommend this place to anyone i will definitely visit again

Really helpful and friendly manager. Gorgeous food

Excellent value on a Tuesday steak night which was cooked to perfection

It was very quiet but it was a Monday.

Great place to stay. Comfortable beds and nice food and beer.

Lovely Sunday lunch 😋😀 only let down Marstons beer

Very friendly pub in Barton under Needwood. Good selection of ales, food was good value for money.

We celebrated a special birthday for 18 people and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great, the staff lovely and the dining room easily accommodated us all. Nothing could have been better. A perfect lunch.

Went with a friend, nice atmosphere

Absolutely bloody lovely pub. The Pedigree was very well kept, the locals were very friendly and Dave...much better looking than Peter O'Toole if I may say so..was very welcoming. We will be back, that's a promise...or is it a threat?...😆😊💕

Popped in for lunch with friends. Epic sized sandwiches, good pint of wainwright and really friendly staff.

Just went in for a drink. Bar area a bit basic but early doors locals were enjoying there drinks. Not cheap as most pubs in Barton aren't. Like most pubs a major upgrade is needed. Can't comment on food but it seems popular with locals. Will probably visit again as the beer is good but not cheap at 4.20 a pint. Landlord was very friendly and welcoming.

Spent one of the best evenings ever at the Shoes last night. Everything was just perfect. We took advantage of the 2 Steaks and a bottle of wine for £30 and it proved to be an absolute bargain. The steak was simply amazing, cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was superb with Dave at his all time best. I don't think we have laughed so much for a long time. Thank you for such a wonderful evening.

Beautiful pub in a lovely location, staff very friendly and helpful

Fantastic restaurant with great food. Staff are very friendly and always going that bit extra to make your experience the best! Best pub in the village! Footy on too which is always a bonus!

First time visit. Went for a drink with friends, the Lounge was nice, we didn't have food but what we saw looked nice and will certainly go back and eat there.

Visited here for lunch on a Saturday and must say it was good value for money(starter and main £10). Food came out promptly and was fresh and hot,both courses where just enough in size and tasted good (been nice to have had homemade chips). There...

We visit the 3 Horseshoes quite regularly although haven't been for a few weeks through no fault of theirs. Food always hot, tasty and appealing, but portions are huge. Service can be slow as there is usually only one member of waiting staff.

We ate here on two consecutive nights and were not disappointed. The menu is varied at a good price and the daily specials board offers excellent value for money. The staff are extremely obiliging to meet any requests. Booking at the weekend is advisable.

My wife & I found ourselves in B-u-N at around 14:30 & wanted a decent lunch, despite being somewhat late. We walked into this place & found a really interesting and clean decor, background music that was great to listen to (I usually hate it)...

Good quality food from a large menu selection. Special's nights and excellent service. Overall excellent value and nothing too much trouble.

Warm welcome when we entered. A choice of ales which my husband loved. A small bar menu but there is a restaurant at the back. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

This was the best food I've had in a while. Highly recommend the lamb rump, it was like velvet and so tasty. Leek and potato soup to start was really good and for dessert I had the seared fruit kebab. I had Malbec which was...

The food was well presented and tasted delicious, it just lacked quantity. The setting of the restaurant is airy and spacious. The waiting staff were plentiful and efficient.

Beers good, food good. Young waitresses really friendly and helpful. Interesting police/prison photos of various stars from the past provided an interesting and unusual talking point. Blade of beef stew with horseradish mash recommended!

WE had pre-ordered our meal as we were travelling a fair distance. We phoned when we were 10 miles away as arranged when we booked. The meals were excellent and I believe the restaurant had a new chef. All 3 courses were beautifully presented and...

Popped into the 'Shoes' with some old friends and had a great time . Lovely friendly staff and tasty bar snacks. We didn't eat at the restaurant but have done on many occasions. A lovely village pub amongst quite a few .

Steak night is such value for money and the staff here at the horseshoes couldnt make you feel more welcome! cant wait to visits again and try their new menu!

Was in the area & as we had eaten here before decided a revisit was needed & we weren't disappointed. Had a lovely pasta carbonara which was very tasty & filling. Staff very friendly & accommodating.

I visited on a Monday and had the fixed menu (2 courses for £12) I had the prawns, followed by fish and chip's. Only thing to let it down was the frozen chip's!

A group of friends stopped here for an afternoon cuppa and a cake, lovely staff ‘Suzie’ young member of staff and great atmosphere..dandy

Stopped here for a pint on beautiful Sunday afternoon and noticed the lite bites menu so we ordered one chips and cheese and one cheeseboard, both were huge and excellent quality and very well priced at under a fiver, highly recommended will return

A truly brilliant meal . Delicious food with excellent service . Thursday offer of 3 courses for £39.99 for 2 people with carafe of wine is great value. The dessert was unbelievably good.Highly recommended.

Staying here overnight (see my separate review for the Three Horseshoes), we had a decent dinner here. The menu has a few classics, and enough to please most tastes. (But look out for the 'specials' board - we missed it and no-one pointed it out.)...

This small restaurant is part of the Three Horseshoes pub in Barton under Needwood and is a really homely, yet modern dining experience. The menu is great and
