Three Horseshoes, Marlowback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Back in again this week, with American and Japanese visitors this time.
Again did not disappoint. Six beers on. The usual IPA, Smuggler and Mutiny, were joined by two seasonal Ales Blonde and Revolution. Can recommend the Blonde, very nice pint. A nice touch is that they now do tasters in small egg cup size glasses, so you can try before you buy.

As noted it is very food oriented, this is the sort of place you would take someone out to eat. The beer was superb but as it's a short walk from the Rebellion Brewery it should be! The bus stop is right outside the pub so easy access to Wycombe and Henley/Reading. I will certainly visit again.

Beer is very good, but a bit pricey.The Rebellion mild was especially tasty.Food looked good(didn't try), but also a bit pricey.Pub a bit lacking in atmosphere and clearly geared up for food.Worth a visit, but the Royal Standard in Wooburn Common is a better bet(for food & beer) when in the area.

I will add my review although I will repeat most of what has gone before.
We go to this pub for both the BEER and the FOOD.
A group of us was in the other night (with some overseas visitors) and we went through most of the Rebellion hand pumps. The IPA and Smuggler were on top form. We also tried the seasonal 'Roasted Nuts' which I found excellent, but wasn't to the taste of some of our lager drinking continental visitors.
As for the food, gmlatic has got it spot on. The chalk board menu is enormous but is usually mostly something that was formerly living and isn't now. But we always find it well cooked and the portions are enormous (on this occasion 'half a roasted duck, half a roasted chicken, and the chicken and ribs combo was not for the faint hearted. In fact the only person who was disappointed was the veggi.
So should you go to this pub ?.
If you want an excellent pint of cask ale and can consume half a cow... Yes.
If you are vegetarian and drinking orange juice... no

Well, unlike some of the reviewers below I go to pubs for BEER and the beer in this Rebellion brewery tap was in fabulous condition, with a 6 handpulls doing a fine job.
Pub is clean and well-maintained - the interior can be a bit cavernous and they could do a little more with the garden perhaps, but this is a definite must-visit if you're in the area, a great choice for a session.

I had heard it was meant to be good and as I drive past it 2/3 times a week we gave it ago.
Previous reviewers are right there are very few veggie dishes. I found the menu a meat fest it was either sizzling rack of ribs, cajun chicken, fajitas etc, not the food I expected.
I had the steak it was cooked as I requested, and service was fine. And the Rebellion Mld was first class.
Would i go back? - No, the pub is a little cavernous, and there is a fog from all the sizzlers they serve.
If they change the menu then i may consider it
|
This pub can be packed out in the evenings. The menu looks fantastic as long as you aren't a vegetarian - there seem to be hardly any veggie dishes. Beer is good. I usually drink the mild as I'm a mild fanatic and anyway I'm driving so I opt for the weakest beers.

Had Sunday lunch at the Three Horseshoes today. It was rammed, and it was easy to see why. As previously mentioned, this is effectively the Rebellion brewery tap, and they had six of Rebellions ales on - including the divine dark mild. Food really was excellent, and (unlike the experience of the previous reviewer) the staff were attentive and helpful. I tried the mild and the Mutiny, both of which were (as you'd expect) superbly kept. Great pub, well worth a visit - just be sure to get there early for sunday lunch, or be prepared for a bit of a wait. It's worth it, though.

Close to the Rebellion brewery six of it's beers are kept on tap here including the monthly and seasonal specials and the rarely seen dark mild. The food has gone downhill since it first opened, it lacks atmosphere and the staff seem uniterested but is still a nice pub in an alright setting to sample some local brew. 7/10

Rebellion Brewery's tap house, just 1/4 mile from the brewery, regularly serves all of Rebellion's current brews. The food is consistently good and the service friendly. 7/10.
