Three Horseshoes, Mole Hill Greenback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Re-opened last week.

Currently closed.

Middle of Mars, when I passed by it was closed.
Out of business ?
|
Beer festival in the barn in the garden is now on.
|
New landlord from next month apparently.
|
Beers include Speckled Hen Abbott and IPA so no choice being a GK pub but I had an Aspells Cider @320p.
Darren the Landlord was a great guy saying I could spend the night in my tent for �5 so I stayed the night in the large field at the back but the sight and sound of the RyanAir planes landing at the Airport which is 1 mile away were a big distraction.
Would I return probably yes as its a great old thatched building with plenty of character.

I live quite close to this pub and drop in often it has a huge garden which is never overcrowded and the place itself never seems so busy that you have a job to get served. The building is very quaint and it's worth a visit just for that but such a lovely place to sit on a summers day and very safe if you have kids as they normally have a bouncy castle etc and as I say a huge garden with tables outside.

I visited this Pub yesterday and where do I start?
Had it not been for a report in the local rag telling that if one of the new suggestions for a second runway at Stansted went ahead then this pub face's being demolished I would not have known of its exsistence, if this proposal go'es ahead then it will be an act of the most dispicable vandalism.
The building itself is a beautiful thatched place set on the edge of the green, plenty of parking to the side and rear with a large garden on the other side, Inside it truly is a real old world place, BUT GENUINE, small rooms with low beams, set on at least two levels, the darts board, which was getting a lot of use, (nice to see), is on a lower level than the bar and resturant areas.
We had a terriffic Sunday lunch, one of the best I have ever had in a Pub,(Thats quite a few), huge slices of fresh roast beef,lovely fresh vegetables and the apple crumble dessert was a dream.
Unfortunately unable to sample the beer on this occasion (GK IPA & Abbott), watching it being pulled it looked bright and crisp.
I would say that this is a place where the guv'nor and his team have really worked out how to make a success of providing really good food for us grockles and retaining a proper pub for the locals without compromise on either side, the resturant was almost full when we arrived and yet when asked if we could eat there was no hesitation, a table was offered immediately and the whole attitude was of relaxed efficiency, the waitress was polite and courteous with a friendly smile despite apparently being the only waitress, and the guv'nor was a true host and last but certainly not least the Barmaid/Landlady, a more genuine smile from behind a bar I have yet to encounter, very proffessional, extremely attractive and worth a trip from Suffolk just to see her pull a pint, all in all a true all around Gem.
(The Pub & the Barmaid)
When considering the apparently bizzare attitudes of some who venture into running a Pub, I say that it would be a crying shame if people like the team at the Three Horseshoes were to lose their livelihood.

The closest pub to the airport terminal. A real old world English pub with low beams and traditional English food.
I took a taxi from the airpot and was there in less than 5 minutes. The landlord even took me back to the airport as part of the service.
