| I was recently looking for a pub to celebrate my mothers birthday and had heard that the bridge inn at horton was under new ownership and thought id give it a try. We were throughly delighted with what we found. The pub had a welcoming atmosphere, great service and the food was to die for. I had the home made 6X steak and mushroom pie. My partner had the roasted red snapper, with cream mash and red pepper sauce, whilst my parents had the steak and said that it was the best they'd had in years and they are not easy people to please. We will definately be making a quick return, to sample some more of the menu. I have no hesitation in recommending this venue.:) Buttons99 - 1 Dec 2011 14:39 |
| As I Live on a canal boat, it might be said that I see the pub from a different angle (ha ha). To be serious for a moment though, I thought the Bridge Inn @ Horton was extremely friendly considering the new tennants John & Bonnie are still making it there own. The food was very good both from a vegetarian and a meat eating point of view. The beer, especially the 6X from wooden casks behind the bar superb. My only advice for newcomers to this Inn would be to be yourself, and accept that as it sits by the beautiful Kennet & Avon canal, you might meet characters that challenge your own outlook on life. Not a bad thing! BoatGypsy - 19 Nov 2011 18:46 |
| went to this delightful pub for a birthday lunch, 5 adults and 2 children. Bar staff very helpful, cheerful and attentive. Food was first class, including the children's meals , served with a smile, on time and, thoroughly enjoyed by all. They were even happy for us to take our own birthday cake in place of ordering dessert from the comprehensive menu. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this hostelry which we will be visiting again and again. Thank you very much for a very enjoyable meal. Yorkshiretyke - 19 Nov 2011 15:34 |
| When I first visited this pub 25 years ago it was a basic canal side boozer with beer and cheese rolls. Well its certainly not that now! Seems to becoming a destination foody pub, but I suppose if thats what it takes to stay open so be it. Service was friendly, Wadworth Swordfish, IPA and 6X available from the wooden barrel by gravity. I ate here and the food was under a tenner for a chilli and rice, homemade and quite acceptable. If you like your pubs with old fashioned atmosphere go to the New Inn at Coate a mile away. Hodge1 - 8 Nov 2011 15:32 |
| My partner and I ventured into the Bridge Inn having discovered on the grapevine that the notoriously rude landlord had since vacated the premises. The place has been redecorated in ‘hospital white’ an interesting choice. Never saw any signs of a landlady or landlord but there were four bored looking teenage girls behind the bar; must have been expecting a rush, although the place was practically empty. We were greeted by; did I say ‘greeted’? What I meant to say was, a young lady approached us with a face like a haunted mirror and an attitude to match. We ordered our drinks from said young lady; who seemed to be mentally preoccupied and was only capable of communication via a series of grunts. We intended to stay inside but for the language of a couple of Neanderthals seated at the bar, so decided to go into the garden. We stayed for the one drink and are unlikely to return. The Bridge has lost something and I’m not referring to the landlord, I am referring to its cosy friendly atmosphere. What it has been replaced with is an indifferent, clinical and stereotypical mass produced and instantly forgettable ‘housing estate’ pub; gone is the cosy village inn that once was - a crying shame. willows - 1 Sep 2011 09:11 |
