Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Consistent but unexciting pub fare.

The Horseshoe is the type of pub that keeps things simple but still manages to impress. It’s not winning any Michelin stars, but it does what it says on the tin. The New Year’s Eve meal was a hit, and people rave about the burger being one of those 'best ever' competitions. Friendly staff keep the atmosphere buzzing, even if the food is decent at best.

That said, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies—some plates have missed the mark, especially with gristly steak or microwaved jackets. But hey, if you're looking for a no-fuss spot to grab a pint and a plate, The Horseshoe might just work for you. Just don’t expect fireworks; this place is as vanilla as it gets. 🍔
