Three Horseshoes in North Norfolk

I had lunch with my elderly parents today. My father enjoyed his sausage but my fish pie filling wasn’t nice and some of the fish didn’t taste fresh, the mash topping was nice but the filling was a poor attempt at what can be a lovely tasty dish. My mum had the beer battered fish and chips. The beer batter was overpowering to the fish and tasted like the oil was old. I tried some of my mums and agreed with her. It’s two years since I have eaten here and it was a disappointment.

Positive surprises in travel are so rewarding. We decided on a whim to have lunch in the pub this the beautiful little village of Warham. The staff are friendly and helpful, there is plenty of parking (we have a motorhome so this is important for us). We had a great lunch and especially enjoyed the venison pie and red wine … home made and so tasty. A great surprise in the countryside

Fantastic service and great Sunday lunch. Will visit again.

Stayed 3 nights and could not have been happier. Lovely pub with many traditional features, extensive outdoor area and a very good menu. The pies in particular were really tasty. The room was so comfortable, particularly the bed, and the bathroom vast with a wonderful large claw footed bath. Fiona and her team looked after us so well - very friendly and efficient. We highly recommend the Three Horseshoes.

Wonderful welcome, all staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Room was lovely, comfortable beds, great shower. Lovely fresh cooked breakfast. The meals in the evening were lovely, especially liked the chicken, leek and bacon pie. Could not fault our 4 night stay.

The pies are sensational, staff very good, prices fair, dog friendly. The building and garden are both beautiful. It's always lovely, word of mouth is big in these parts and great pubs not that plentiful, so people come from far and wide. They also have rooms/cabins, and are in a very quiet spot, so their guests are often eating in, daytime or evening. This means they are often fully booked even when you assume it will be a quiet time. We rarely visit without seeing stunned visitors turned away, who assumed they would be fine, the latest ones had undertaken a 5 mile walk to get there, but not thought to book ahead. Oops! Tip - don't message them, ring to book, and if you leave a phone message don't assume they will get to it before you get there! Well done, and see you again soon!

Lovely country pub, friendly and caring they also serve a Steak and Ale to die for.

Called in on the off chance for a meal, could not have been better. Pleasant surroundings, polite staff and wonderful food. Would certainly recommend the Three Horseshoes @ Warham.

Delightful spot. A beautiful quiet location, a spacious and beautifully decorated room for our overnight stay and excellent food. Straightforward English done really well. The pies are especially good. Also enjoyed several pints of well-kept cask beer. Recommended

Rang several times to get booked into the restaurant only to be told I needed to book six months in advance. I previously went to the restaurant in 2023 and did not do this ! Did I miss something has it got a Michelin star?

Went to try the famous pies, all 3 of us had different fillings. And we thought they were excellent! Nice country pub, with equally nice bar staff. 10/10.

Found this place on TA, thought we would visit after reading some good reviews, lived up to those reviews. Food was good, well prepared, presented nicely, served with (some) smiles and was good value. Shame it shuts early would of liked to stay for a few more beers!

stayed for 3 nights here - friendly helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere - bit of a hiccup first night when switching on bedside light blew all electrics but was sorted. Good location for exploring and encouraging that it is off the beaten track but still very popular with visitors and locals - good breakfast too -nice local walks and lovely old church nearby - nice break after months couped up at home - thankyou

We stayed at the pub and had not booked dinner. On check in we were informed the restaurant was fully booked. Drama, and a big set back for us having been on a day long journey. Staff did not deal with situation well, were self righteous and openly talked their frustrated customer down as rude in front of us. We worked through this and the manager stepped in to facilitate this. In the end there was space in the restaurant and the meal was outstanding. The pie in particular amazing. The pub knowing the restaurant is in high demand make a little more effort to let guests staying at the pub know a booking is needed and should even allocate some tables for guests. Stopping orders at 8pm was also a strange decision given the capacity issues.

Everything here was terrific. We stayed one night and had dinner and breakfast. The room was spotlessly clean with a comfortable bed and a very good large shower. We loved the decor. WiFi strong. We slept with a window open and had a cool breeze, and it was perfectly quiet despite being over the street—could only hear lovely birds in the morning. One easy set of steps for me to climb with an injured ankle. No problem. The dinner of pies was delicious. No “soggy bottoms.” I had the steak and ale and my husband the lamb. We both thought the steak and ale was the better of the two. Vegetables plentiful and not overcooked. The staff is extraordinary—so pleasant at every stage f our stay. There was a very noisy group of 8 in the dining area—so noisy we could not hear each other across the table. We were reseated immediately. Dog friendly. The full English breakfast was one of the best we have had. We wish wr hot sausage like we were served back in the states. The breakfast held us to dinner easily, it was part of our room rate. Plenty of parking.

I dropped by for a quick beer and lunch having not been here for a few years. Impressed by helpful staff. Perfect Wherry and food which came promptly although we could see they were very busy. Big improvement in the garden area and as ever it has excellent car parking. Lovely village setting.

Just a review for the food. Vegetarian rice option was good if you are trying to loose weight. Pies were good but vegetables very hard I have all my teeth. Staff okay. I didn't feel it was good value for money compared with other pub meals I've had around England recently. I've been visiting this pub since the 1980s.

Lovely large clean room. Service was good except for one young girl. Breakfast was good depending on which staff member serviced you. Fed up asking for our breakfast, then toast and juice. More training perhaps for her. The rest of the staff were very good.

Stopped for a drink. Sheltered pub garden

Great meal and excellent friendly service

I went here for the first time 20 years ago or so. Went back on Saturday for an early supper. The pies were delicious, the chicken pie was unreal, so tasty! The pub is in a really quiet village and so relaxing. Try it, best pie I’ve had in years. Fantastic value too!

We booked a dinner here for my wife and me. The staff were friendly and the service quick. The pub is tastefully decorated and has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The food was good, my wife enjoyed her veggie sausages and mash and my mushroom pie was very tasty. A very pleasant evening, will return again.

Great place to stay for an overnight stay. Ask for a cabin consists of clean bedroom, TV, and bathroom plus seating area outside. Good breakfast Excellent service, staff very helpful and friendly

Great traditional pub serving good food and beer. Large beer garden and rooms available. Stopped for a light lunch (sandwiches) which were generous and reasonably priced. Dog frinedly.

A fantastic backdrop with a Stunning Public house in the heart of the Hamlet . Genuine warm greeting on arrival 😊 Swift attentive service. Menu looked good, and Wow . The food live up to expectations and sum .... Yes indeedy . If you like a pie 🥧 you will love ❤️ these . Uptiou and yummy 😋 😍 I had chips with it. When I requested gravy to accompany it I was not frowned upon. Nothing was any trouble. Great staff team . No headless chickens but alot of fun. If you are looking for an alternative to the Mad Pace of Wells next to the Sea . Do not miss this hidden gem ✨️ The new accommodation is of a high standard finish 👌 and has been added sympathetically to blend in with the extremely high standard of the main building. Menu pricing very reasonable compared to Wells. I will definitely return when next in the area. Yup it is possible in England to get good food, great service, and leave with a warm glow. Thank you 😊

Definitely over priced and not much selection the food that I see did not look very good at all

The staff were by far some of the friendliest and most welcoming I have met and the place itself was clean and lovely internally and externally. Concerning the food, my family travelled down 1 hour to see me to have to wait 30 minutes between starters and main. My son and myself had the crispy squid. It was like strips of batter no calamari/fish inside, then 30 minutes later my mum and dad's fish come out cremated batter and the fish dried out considering we live where fresh fish is easily obtained it far from tasted that way, as for myself I had a burger which was by far one of the driest bits of meat/food I've ever acquired. The chips they managed to get right. The worst part was when the waitress asked if everything was ok, we passed on the message and she just replied I'll be sure to pass message on. I wasn't expecting any discount which why I didn't challenge the response but if your gonna charge quality restaurant prices I do believe the food should match the price and as a family who have eaten in a lot of nice restaurants I'd 100% been happier in McDonald's. Today I tried the stiffkey red lion I think it was and 100% totally different class of cheffing. As I say as a pub for a drink 100% recommend. Food and dealing with dissatisfaction 100% go elsewhere

We would definitely stay here again. Great accommodation, friendly staff, and great food. What more could you ask for. Keep up the good work. 👍

I like it here. Just popped in for a drink today. Have stayed previous and would stay again. Have eaten at the Three Horseshoes on several occasions and woukd est here again. Well placed for the North Norfolk coast.

We booked and ended up with one extra family member coming. We apologised when we arrived and said we were totally happy to squeeze them on our already reserved table. This was met with eye rolling and general awkwardness and rudeness by one staff member. The table next to us noticed and it just all felt uncomfortable. We enjoyed our food but will think twice before going again for how the member of staff made us all feel. We had to ask for the extra cutlery once the food arrived so it was made clear we were not welcome with our one teenage addition. Just disappointing and uncomfortable experience considering we were a large table.

We had an early evening meal last week. My sister enjoyed one of the pie's. My Mrs enjoyed the pork chop and crackling. I enjoyed the fish and chips. (Home made tartar sauce was lovely). The pudding's were lovely as well. We shall return for a short stay next time. After the summer.

Yes, pretty good for Sunday lunch. Beef portion was a bit on the small side (hence the four stars) but guest ale was really enjoyable. This is our first visit for a while, and we will certainly pay another visit.

We had a stunning meal in here! Their menu is great for coeliacs and gluten free! The staff were really friendly and the pub is really cosy inside!!

What a terribly organised institution. The man who could be the owner/ manager who decided to confront our family so rudely on a situation they are to blame for and then proceed to be very aggressive and shout at my 70 year old grandad. No common decency and a disappointment to the beautiful surroundings. What ever happened to the customer is always right. My brothers were served multiple times. Only one of them being asked for proof of identification. The bar staff served us until we had spent over £100 as a family and decided to kick up a fuss and tell us to leave. Wouldn’t recommend this place for families or anyone who won’t tolerate being spoken to like rubbish. An upsetting part of the celebrations for my grandad which has now resulted in us cancelling our meal for 12 people. As a manager of a pub myself, take full responsibility for the actions of your staff and improve them. Not blame the customer, who the poorly trained staff have served and not questioned. Disgusting behaviour.

Went for an evening meal. Mushroom and walnut pie. 😋 😋 Loved the atmosphere of the pub and the friendly helpful service. And that pie...

Absolute gem of a pub. The pies are a thing of beauty. The ladies serving were so nice and knowledgeable too. Make sure you book a table as it gets very busy and it's deceptively small inside.

Staff are lovely. I had hake special. Very small piece of fish on large mound of mash. I like mash but not great value as it was only hake. A white wine spritzer with 125ml of house wine at £5.50 and add on £1.50 for the splash of soda leaves a nasty taste. Not sure we will rush back.

Stayed overnight with a friend. Lovely twin room with modern shower ensuite The bed was very comfortable bed and the breakfast good.

Returned for Sunday Lunch after a positive experience last time. It was a 14.00 table booking, I ordered Roast Lamb which included a few scrappy bits of lamb, no full slices and barely a decent portion. When asked if we were happy I said the Lamb was disappointing and suggested it might be the last serving to which the waitress said it was. Subsequently, another Lamb Roast was presented to a lady on the next table, she too complained and was given an alternative choice, I was just told that they kitchen would be informed of my disappointment. My meal was definitely not worth the charge which we had already paid as sat in garden.

Love this old Pub . Staff are brilliant and food very good. Just 2 miles from Wells . Highly recommend and new Outside Pods for guests to stay over.

Delicious pies that we will definitely be back for!

Nice pub good selection of food and helpful staff. Was a nice place up stop on after a walk and grateful that it was also dog friendly 🐶. Always a plus.

Food is excellent beer very well kept and the service brilliant. We stayed in a cottage in the village and had dinner their most nights. Booking a table is imperative as it is very busy.

Good service, good food, good beer. Great interior as well. There's nothing not to like about this pub!

Delicious meal here. Our second visit. Polite friendly service.

We didn’t stay in a room, so have rated them four stars. We stayed in Stiffkey and were told we had to go to the Three Horseshoes. So glad we did! Best pies of our lives! Absolutely gorgeous! We had the steak and ale and beef and blue cheese. Amazing! If we lived more locally, we would make a point of trying every pie! The meat melts in your mouth and the liquor has such depth. The pastry is flaky and buttery. Heaven on a plate! Our kids had the Mac n’ Cheese with chips and said it was the best they ever had (this comparing to Mac n’ Cheese at Twenty9, which is great, but The Three Horseshoes is better.) The staff were completely wonderful. The restaurant is clean with a great abundance of charm. Dogs are allowed. And parking is not a problem -Use the car park across the way. Such a great area overall. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Went for Sunday lunch over Easter and the food was pretty good but nothing special. Nice country pub and the staff were helpful.

Came back here for Sunday roast after a year and it is just as good as I remember. Food was amazing and the staff all really nice and friendly. Just a really good atmosphere all round. Really well cooked dinner, dessert was great too. Looking forward to coming back. Thanks, kavita x

What a fantastic pub and B&B we stayed in the new dog friendly lodges the whole stay was faultless ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely fabulous overnight stay. Rooms are just lovely. Finished to a very high standard, roomy, beautiful bathroom and immaculately clean. Loved it. Staff were superb, so friendly and welcoming, thank you. Evening meal was excellent - the pies were just delicious. Easy parking, easy to find and great location for many of the nearby beach areas. Great weekend. Very highly recommended.

Lovely friendly traditional pub/restaurant with modern large contemporary bedrooms and bathrooms. Recently added fantastic garden rooms. Well prepared and tasty food served by efficient and characterfull staff. We'll be back.

Oh my, pie heaven! Don't look anywhere else! Terrified of food envy? Torn between fillings? No need to worry... three different mini pies on one plate with mash/chips/new pots, veg and gravy... a taste sensation.

Lovely beer, and their pies are also very good

Always first on the list when visiting relatives in Norfolk. Dropped in for drinks on Sunday just as the lunchtime food was finishing. Got the favourite table by the fire and had a lovely pint of Wherry which was the first after the barman/chef had properly pulled off the fresh beer. Really nice pint and correct temperature. My wife had a cappuccino. All staff were really friendly and had another chat with the barman about crib boards.

Really tasty food, the steak and ale pie is particularly recommended. Very cosy and inviting interior with a very helpful and pleasant staff. A very pleasant dining experience. We will definitely return.

Great place to stay. Characterful pub, comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast Staff are friendly and helpful.

We visited the Three Horseshoes at Warham for an overnight stay as it was my partners birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Very comfortable room (Holkham). Great decor. HUGE bathroom with shower and slipper bath. Great Menu. Decently prices. Thoroughly enjoyable evening meal. Great service. Thoroughly enjoyable breakfast. Well done Team Three Horseshoes 👏👏 Very well placed for Wells, Walsingham, Binham, Blakeney to name just a few. Not too far from Hunstanton, Cromer and Sheringham. We'll be back 👍

We visited yesterday being the 13th February. We had booked for 19:45 but arrived a little early. We had a drink whilst we waited and our table was late being ready not the end of the world but we did have a toddler in tow so it wasn’t ideal. When our food came out, it was disappointing, I had the burger (nearly £18) the cheese was burnt bacon underdone and it was in just a normal flour nap - for £18 I’d expect something a little bit more upmarket in brutal honesty. The other members of our party had pies as the pub was ‘known for pies’ they were okay. I’d say overall overpriced and underwhelming - nobody did a check back so I wasn’t able to raise this at the time with anybody and as by this point it was 9pm I was more bothered about getting my little one home. 4 meals (one being a toddler meal) and it was £74. At nearly £20 a head, the food was bog standard Wetherspoons standard and nothing more - which was a pity.

No longer a pub - another Norfolk rural pub bites the dust. The warm welcome starts with - have you booked, do you want to eat. If the answer to both is no hope you are one of the lucky 4 people as the total seating space indoors from those want just a drink is 4. Such a shame as this used to be a really good local pub. They serve a very decent pint of Wherry. But it is a restaurant. I’m sure in the summer the beer garden might provide a refuge for those daring to want to visit a ‘pub’ for a drink only but I won’t be visiting to find out.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Three Horseshoes. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Friendly clientele. Dog friendly. Great menu. Good value. Great service. What not to like 🤷‍♀️ We stayed in Holkham (room) Very comfortable. Extremely well decorated. HUGE bathroom. Shower. Slipper bath. Again.....what not to like 🤷‍♀️ Great value fir this out of season stay HOWEVER...if you would like to eat at the Three Horseshoes, I would advise booking. Monday night was chocabloc! Always a sign of a good restaurant 👍 Well done Team Three Horseshoes 👏👏👏

Over night with dog in one of the new lodge rooms. Absolutely top class standard, comfy bed and beautiful bathroom. The builders must be complimented on the high finishes. Lovely staff, great evening meal (burger was substantial and tasty - home made chips too, chicken bacon and leek pie it’s usual scrumptious self). Great prices. Breakfast very good indeed. Will return - thank you 🙏

Decided to try out all of the Three Horseshoe pubs within 30mins of our home. This was our final outing and we certainly left the best to last. Very friendly, helpful staff serving good wine and some excellent beer. We had the steak and ale, mushroom and walnut pies with chips and veg. Delicious! Just hit the spot! Play to their strengths - which are the pies and you’re not going to be disappointed. If you have any room left, do try the puddings, old school yummy. Lovely, traditional, cozy decor with open fire creating a warm relaxing atmosphere. What is there not to like?

Called in here for dinner, while camping nearby. Excellent menu, food and service. Real log fires, real local ales.

Fabulous stay at this beautiful pub. Stayed for 2 nights at the end of January with our 2 dogs. The pub has some excellent quality, new oak lodges. Very good quality of accommodation. Also ate in the pub on both nights and had breakfast each morning. Again, can’t recommend the food enough. The pub is famous for their pies and I can see why. Ad the chicken, bacon and leek pie and my husband had steak and Stilton - both excellent. Staff also very friendly and helpful. Very welcoming to us and to our dogs

Friendly service, lovely food and in the winter the wood fires are a real treat. 28/01 Another great meal, the local mussels were amazing and as always staff are so friendly

Another terrific January break at this wonderful pub, a hidden gem only a couple of miles from Wells and the coast. Friendly staff, great food, proper beer and dog friendly - what’s not to like. Comfortable room with a huge bathroom. We were sad to leave but we’ll be back. Kay, Dave and Dylan the dog 🐶

Meal was pie and homemade chips with veg... Very traditional affair but tasty. Good price for meal and pub inside is a traditional delight with real fires etc. Great location for exploring north Norfolk.

I absolutely love the food in this pub, it's my fav place to meet friends out that way for lunch, I'm never disappointed

Great experience of earth works in Norfolk

Great village pub with extensions and rooms, very friendly staff and a good selection of local ales. Log fire during the einter months. The food is very good indeed, but it's still a pub and let's hope it stays that way. Their pies are outstanding.

The Three Horseshoes is an old fashioned pub, with newly constructed rooms attached. The bar hasn't changed much for years. An open fire is a big feature and popular with anyone who has done a walk across the country. Just up the road is Warham Camp where the Vikings landed a thousand years ago and more. The village is quiet and a mile or so from the sea. Food is good and good value. A steak sandwich is 6.50. Pies are a speciality. Garden is nice in the Summer.

Very disappointing food, only one of our four person group enjoyed their meal. I had the venison and red wine pie. The pastry was really soggy and the venison incredibly chewy, one large piece totally inedible. The shared veg were ok but the pie and mash was served with a bizarre flavourless green ( presumably parsley) liquor, can’t call it a sauce it was just green liquid and unpleasant at that. The ‘special’ of venison pasta was dry and unappetising. Great company and a nice pub but pretty rubbish food.

Had lunch with friends, having read the reviews. The pub hasn’t changed much, still charming especially with the open fires and beer straight from the barrel. The meals were not very good, beef & ale pies, chewy meat, very little gravy and a pot of “green“ liquid, would rather have had gravy! The “special” pasta dish was dry - the fish pie was enjoyed. Overall, a very disappointing experience (once again).

Lovely pub, cosy and old worldly. Meal was hit and miss. Vegetables were nearly cold and carrots very crunchy. Meat chewy. Desserts lovely. Having read lots of reviews was expecting really great food.

Sat by the log fire with our German shepherd. I had the game pie husband had the steak and ale pie. Absolutely delicious as always. Staff couldn’t be more friendly.

Well what a great out of the way pub. Friendly staff who served us with beautiful food. Lovely surroundings what more can you ask for.

Great place, staff very helpful and friendly. When we had an emergency they went above and beyond. Lovely rooms and great food.

Just home from one night stay to see Thursford Christmas show. We had lunch in this lovely old pub which was soooo cosy with open fire. We had fish pie and venison and red wine pie followed by Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Absolutely delicious...

We missed the pies, but very nice

Just booked for one night after seeing local show. Bitterly cold weather but lovely warm cosy room. Comfy bed, spotlessly clean, ample parking. Friendly helpful staff, and excellent breakfast.
