The Horseshoe Pub

We had a lovely afternoon in the Horseshoe celebrating our friends Birthday. Everything was very relaxed and superbly organised. The fresh sandwiches and chips that were provided were excellent. Les, Kate and Karrie looked after us all brilliantly, nothing was too much trouble. We are not regulars in the Horseshoe as we don’t live locally but whenever we do visit, the welcome is always warm and genuine. A well run pub with fantastic staff.

Can’t thank Matt and the gang for arranging a super 70th birthday celebration for my husband. Very low key just as he wanted, we invited 25 friends into the marquee at the back of the pub, patio heaters at the ready, but not needed. Les, Karrie and Kate worked so hard to supply everything that we had asked for and we were well supplied with fresh sandwiches, chips drinks as ordered. There was no pressure on us to leave and we made the most of the afternoon sunshine. Thank you all.

Good food and excellent service in a relaxing and peaceful setting. The garlic mushrooms starter was superb. My pint of Butcombe Bitter was very good but I understood that they cannot usually provide cask conditioned beer in the restaurant as it has to come from the pub underneath the restaurant. They were very kind in doing this for me on our visit as they were not too busy that evening. As the Horseshoe is one of the best real ale pubs in the area, this is a pity and hence my reason for not giving the visit 5 stars. Perhaps they would reconsider this policy in future but of course I thank them for serving me real ale on this occasion!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely food. Would certainly recommend a visit. My elderly mother really enjoyed her birthday lunch and appreciated the friendly attention paid by all the staff especially Les who was extremely attentive to her requirements. She has requested a return visit soon.

Yet again we were made very welcome at The Horseshoe. Great selection of ales and ciders. A traditional pub with fantastic food. Well worth popping in if you are in the area. The new landlord was very attentive. Can't wait until my next visit.
