| De Ja Vue! It seems that bad attitude to customers combined with poor service and small portions comes around, and around, and around. Arrived at 7:45pm on Saturday 31st Jan 2009. Told a 20 minute wait for food. Tried to order from the set menu and specials board to be told half the menu no longer available and then 45 minutes for 2 meals to arrive. The stew that had been on the menu for all of January clearly had been. There was so little meat left, and it had fallen apart, that I ended up with a carrot and potato soup with a dumpling. The manner in which my complaint was handled was appalling. And than as a previous reviewer, was asked to leave in a very loud voice and please don't come back. My wife is a professional chef at a Rosette quality restaurant. When she attempted to be constructive and point out the problem, she was ignored and treated with total derision. In today's economic climate I really hope this place disappears where the sun don't shine. In the clouds of contempt they clearly have for their paying guests. mpittaway - 31 Jan 2009 23:43 |
| The Three Horseshoes has been taken over by new management. The restaurant has been re-decorated and the ambience is great. I felt like I was in a very up market London restaurant. Food was great and great to be supporting local produce. I stayed overnight in one of the new re-designed rooms it was luxury personfied - I was absolutely astounded at the transformation as had stayed previously when it resembled a travel lodge room - luxurious cushions and all those added extras made my stay much more relaxing and enjoyable. I would definately recommend the Three Horseshoes to anyone wanting a tranquil weekend in the heart of the english countryside with luxury, good food, comfortable beds and good ale. serenah - 28 May 2008 14:19 |
| Location and decor is really good and the beer had a good choice but the restaurant is really let down by an unimagative menu poorly supported by dreadfully slow service. Food was good when it arrived, don't ask for any salt, mustard, etc. though as it will take an age to arrive. Overall OK but nothing to write home about, shame it could be so much better. bilvers - 13 Jan 2008 16:28 |
| Don't order the steak unless you have already eaten somewher else - We normally eat at the pub with friends and family but we will no longer go or recommend it to our friends. We ordered a fillet steak and when it came it was the smallest steak I have ever seen, probably the right size for a very small child. We complained and the Barman said that it had shrunk when it was cooked and would not replace it. We ate, paid and left and they will not see us again, there are plenty of other pub restaurants around!! Taylore - 4 Oct 2007 21:04 |
| Having had several lovely meals at this delightful country pub with friends and business colleagues, I went with wife and family to celebrate our wedding anniversary last month. Very poor quality food, served slowly in an empty pub. After asking for my meal to be removed and taken from the bill, I had to suffer an argument (in front of my family) with the ‘chef’ about the difference in 21 day hung meat and ‘normal steak’… no mention of the bullet chips, the raw tomato garnish and the soaked droopy mushroom… Cutting a long story short, I was asked to leave the pub as I was ‘no longer welcome’, ‘pay for the drinks and get out’… Well mine host seems to have his name over the door… the ‘chef’ is one of the landlords! In an environment where Village Pubs need all the custom they can get perhaps a customers justifiable complaint could have been handled better. Perhaps it was just an off day? The beer is allways very good here. Hence a rating of 2. Customer service by the landlord gets a zero. brianlmsltd - 13 Aug 2007 09:15 |
