Three Horseshoes

We've been here loads of times, as a couple, family or with friends. The food is consistently good with a decent selection of drinks at reasonable prices and service is friendly and efficient so we keep coming back. I'm not entirely enamored with the Euro car parks management of the car park as they don't give receipts as proof of inputting your car's details so it's their word against yours. I can't see why anyone would park there if they weren't either dining or having a drink inside so it just looks like a money maker for the parking company. That gripe aside, its a great pub/restaurant and way better than many of the larger chains in every respect.

The young barman was excellent and attentive. As a party of 6 Seniors including 2 disabled, stick-wielding ladies he swiftly offerred us a suitable table and took drinks and food orders efficiently. Sadly, the food was lacklustre. I had lasagna (which was the temperature of the sun and arrived last) which was disappointing in flavour and portion size. Another of our party had a sirloin steak(medium) but it arrived looking very dry and overcooked. My Royal Raspberry Eton mess dessert was trumpeted by the menu as being "Whipped cream packed with crunchy meringue, juicy raspberries and fresh strawberries" but was not up to that mark. It seemed like a broken meringue nest base with the sides mixed into the Whipped cream. Topped with a sliced strawberry (widely distributed), I searched for any sign of a Raspberry but there was none. Again, the barman was ace when it came to splitting the bill three ways and I hope my 10% gratuity made it through to him. All in all I probably shall not visit again.

We treated our Grandson to lunch here yesterday and all three of us thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. From the moment we arrived, the front of house team were extremely welcoming and helpful. The ambience, both inside and on the terrace, was delightful on such a lovely sunny day. Trisha was extremely helpful and friendly while serving our table. We all ordered something different, from the excellent menu. Hunter's chicken, sea bass and I had prawns and scallops in a light cheese sauce with side salad. All three were delicious, beautifully cooked and nicely presented, thank you chef. For dessert, two creme brulee and I had a trio of icecream and sorbet.....all very delicious. Highly recommended this to anyone who enjoys good food. Will definitely be going back when in the area.
