The Horseshoe

I think i’m the only person who’s not so keen on the new refurb of this pub, but at least its been done to a good standard.
I’m more into pubs that serve meals in a pub situation, where, for example one person from a group could order a meal even if their friends are not and could still sit with their friends, whereas this pub now has a seperate restaurant. The actual pub part of the building now seems a lot smaller and almost secondary to the restaurant part.
The garden and childrens play area is good however, but this is more of a continuation of the old pub.
The atmosphere for me is just not the same as the old horseshoe, and i’m afraid this is one customer they have lost.

this pub is always full whenever i have been in there. they have a restaurant, sports room and a playground for the kids.

recently refurbished to change from a an old mans pub to a new clean, lively pub, sports room and restaurant. All reviews i’ve read have said the food is a delight, although i’ve not yet tried any myself.
The snug is a lovely room with it own bar, which can have the doors shut off from the sports room so it retains a quiet atmosphere.
There are 2 entrances, one direct into the snug and one into the resturant so depending on what kind of night out you are having, you can choose whic door to use.
The landlady is very welcoming, and the refurb has definitely given this place a whole new lease of life

A new extension and restaurant area has brought this pub back to life.
The snug is more ‘old pub’ style and is a nice seperate area away from the restuarant.
Although i’ve never tried to food since it was refurbished i’ve only heard good reviews about it. There are jazz nights each week, as well as a quiz night and othermusic nights. The large room towards the back has the tvs for sport, and also the pool table, but again this can be closed off from the snug so that its a quieter room to sit and relax. Good choice of real ales, and the glasses are always clean,
Staff are courteous and polite, and dogs are welcome in the pub area. The outside play area is fenced off from the car park and is connected to courtyard area wirth the picnic benche making it a safe place for parents to have a break while the little ones tear about in the playground!
