Popped in for an impromptu lunch and had a great experience, perfect service from the moment we walked through the door, great atmosphere and the pub looks really nice inside and out. Was seated at a table and introduced to Tracey who would be looking after us, great choices on the menu and we went with a roast dinner each, food was amazing and topped off with a great desert choice. We will be back. A massive shout out to Tracey for her service, it was perfect and we were kept up to date on our order as it was a busy time, checked in perfectly with us on our meal and also has a great sense of humour, good food can make a visit, great staff (Tracey) can top it off!

Ordered the Prawn Cocktail. It comes on a plate and never was there a more sad looking dish. I had 4 prawns. That’s it. 4. There is also a bit of lettuce and approx half an avocado. For this they charged £8.25. It was all tasteless sadly. Only positive was that our waitress was nice.

We are impressed by the staff (Tracy) in supporting the guests in dealing with the allergens related dietary limitations of the guests. The quality of the food and the ambience were excellent. One point for improvement: It will be a good idea for the chef to provide a (paperbased) list of normal allergens included in the menu at the table. This will cut down the repetition and also save time for the staff and the chef.Great service. Good variety of choices. Pleasant and quiet environment.

Booked a table for 1 o’clock on the 26th January ordered our food took 50 minutes to arrive and it wasn’t that busy. The trio of meats and the beef Sunday dinner potatoes and veg cold Yorkshire pudding think was microwaved because it was hot at the top and fridge cold at the bottom. My guests didn’t complain as they were not prepared to wait another 50 minutes for a replacement meal, after finishing our main course we were not asked if we wanted a desert or pudding . We were just given the bill. Very very disappointed will definitely not be using this pub again.

My partner and I visited The Three Horseshoes yesterday (25th December), intending to stop in for a drink after a long walk. Sadly, what we encountered was nothing short of appalling. Upon arriving, we approached the man behind the bar, only to be met with an unnecessarily rude response. We were told that we couldn’t have a drink because we hadn’t made a reservation for food. All we wanted was a quick drink, and we were more than happy to sit outside, where it was very quiet with hardly anyone around. We honestly couldn’t see the issue. To make matters worse, there was no mention of this supposed policy on the website, nor were there any signs outside to indicate it. We walked several miles to the pub, only to be turned away in the most discourteous manner. The way we were treated was unnecessarily abrupt and lacking in basic hospitality. Based on this unpleasant experience, we definitely won’t be visiting again, nor would we recommend it to anyone else. A little kindness goes a long way, and unfortunately, it seems this pub is severely lacking in that regard.

Went with a party for the 3 course Christmas meal. Specified vegan beforehand but they forgot that part, kind of important for me. Tomato and pepper soup was pretty good, given dairy butter with bread though. Had the vegetable wellington as a main which was good, but the rest was lacking, sprouts, half a single carrot (yes really) and yorkshire pudding for £33.50, absolutely outrageous. It turns out the vegan option (which I was glad to see on the menu) was just the removal of the yorkshire pudding, but they gave me one anyway, I had to get them to check if it was vegan (it wasn't) so that was nice. No cauliflower, parsnips, veg, nothing extra, a seriously boring roast! Desert was nice, trillionaire chocolate cake thing, apparently this was vegan so I'm glad I got to eat a dessert. Absolutely insane price considering the anemic main course, and no alternatives in the main for vegan diets (aquafaba as an egg replacement for yorkshire puddings fyi). Colleagues weren't particularly impressed either as far as I recall, overall pretty mid, wouldn't recommend.

I recently visited this resturant for a festive dinner with my child, looking forward to a nice evening. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant meal was overshadowed by repeated issues with the bill that left me feeling more cheated than festive. The child’s menu, advertised at £12.50, was initially charged at £37.25. After I pointed this out, the waitress kindly corrected it. However, when I checked the updated bill, the child’s meal was still being overcharged at £14.50. The explanation? An extra scoop of ice cream – except my child only had two scoops, not three. After raising this again, the waitress adjusted the bill for a second time, but there was no apology or acknowledgment for the mistakes. It’s hard not to feel that this wasn’t just carelessness, especially when it happened twice. Instead of addressing the issue with understanding, it felt like the restaurant hoped I wouldn’t notice. That left a sour taste, both from the lack of accountability and the suspicion of intentional behavior. A festive menu should leave diners with happy memories, not hard feelings and a lingering sense of mistrust. I’d advise anyone dining here to carefully check their bill and be prepared to challenge anything that doesn’t look right.

After a long walk around the countryside, my family, dogs and I popped in for dinner after having recently moved to the area, this was the first time we have been to this pub, all the staff were very welcoming, we sat down for dinner and one of the bartenders came over to let us know that there’s dog treats and water on the side which was amazing. The food was great, we have made this a regular outing now. Can’t recommend this pub enough.

A family gathering for a special birthday drew us to The Three Horseshoes , Smallford. It didn't disappoint. With 25 people in our party for Sunday lunch each tasty meal arrived hot and as ordered. Meals were pre-ordered but there was plenty of choice and all were catered for. Sarah was especially helpful ensuring all were given a meal in a timely fashion and that all was well. She was both efficient and polite and helped to make the surprise party a success. Thank you for a lovely day.

We took my 98 yr old dad out for lunch today. The disabled entrance was locked, the "vase" of flowers was full of green mould. The staff were not attentive (bearing in mind there were only 3 tables of customers at the time). The gents toilet was blocked and didn't flush. They had no small potatoes (on 2 dishes on their menu). The brand new member of staff handed my dad a spoon by the bowl of the spoon - at least she came back and apologised after I had told her how unhygienic that was. The custard for pudding was lukewarm. We shan't be returning. :-(

Lunch party of 6 fairly average food, Vintage Inn. Parking plentiful. Passion fruit Eton Mess not worth the money, no meringue despite it being the first listed ingredient basically for £8 you got a plate of squirty cream a few crumbs of freeze dried strawberry, two pieces of canned mango and a passion fruit syrup. They offered the same thing again but as we were leaving a refund of the dish.

We have been going to Blackberry Jacks for many years but today will be our last time. The food took quite a while to come and when it did it was all cold. We saw through the kitchen served my door hands being used to check temperatures of the food when a probe should be used. All the meals were left as we were worried it would make us ill. The manager who I have to say was very professional refunded us and apologised that it was new staff in the kitchen. This food could have 100% made someone very ill as this was being the critical control point for serving food. This ruined my daughters birthday
