The Three Horseshoes — Restaurant in East Staffordshire

Went for Sunday roast for a big birthday as stopping nearby. The Christmas menu was only one available, still Christmas Dinner is essentially a Sunday roast whether it was an excuse to put up the price or if the Sunday roast is always over £15 we don't know as never been before. I had turkey, nice turkey. Hubby had pork, nice too he said. Roast potatoes OK but very difficult get a fork into, bit too crispy! Veg squares of carrot, ok; roast parsnips, yuck. Even son in law and our daughter didn't like them and they both normally like parsnips which to be fair I do not. Red cabbage, not sure what had been doing to the red cabbage but none of us enjoyed the taste. Sprouts well you always get sprouts with Christmas Dinner, sadly we don't really like them very much, nothing fancy done to them, just boiled sprouts. Sigh. The desserts weren't to my taste either, all seemed to have some kind of added alcohol, so a no from me. I had the small portion of dinner and although the turkey tasted nice there wasn't much of it really, stuffing was hard and overdone, the one tiny pig in blanket you needed a good eye to spot it, it was so small. The service was really slow, the people serving nice, don't get me wrong they were friendly, helpful and smiley. It just was a long wait for mains. The walk to the toilets my daughter reported to be an expedition as it was very cold! She had been warned by her dad that it was freezing as the door stood wide open, she put her coat on to go and came back with it clutched tightly around her! Thankfully I was saved from the trip as I didn't need to use the facilities for which I was very grateful. The meal was overpriced, the £7.95 or thereabouts for my smaller portion would have been a fairer price for the meal served. Luckily we don't live in the area, we were stopping nearby so won't...

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at The Three Horseshoes in Barton Under Needwood numerous times, and I can confidently say that it has consistently exceeded my expectations. The food here is nothing short of fantastic each dish is crafted with care and attention to detail, showcasing a wonderful blend of flavours that never fails to impress.

The service is equally commendable. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always on point, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable. They go above and beyond to ensure that guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. The staff really do value the customers.

, I also had the opportunity to stay at their bed and breakfast this year, and it was a fantastic experience. The accommodations are comfortable and well-maintained, making it an ideal choice for anyone visiting the area, whether it's family or friends. The staff's hospitality shines through in the B&B as well, adding to the overall charm of the place.

Through the Covid pandemic this pub also did deliveries locally and again every week the food would come piping hot. This pub does a lot for the community and it’s a pleasure to visit the pub.

Overall, The Three Horseshoes is a gem in Barton Under Needwood. With its exceptional food, excellent service, and warm accommodations, it’s a place I highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining or...

Very rude and uninterested staff. Basically couldn’t be bothered with us. We had to keep asking for drinks and felt in the way. We couldn’t see the menu it was so dark. Food was lukewarm and four of us were sick after eating. We couldn’t eat much of the meal because it was cold. Wouldn’t go again. Very disappointed.we came on Sunday 10th December with our family. The girl who served us should have been trained to do the job properly. When serving 8 people perhaps a tray should be used? Or all three of the girls serving help. It’s basic common sense. Food should be served hot especially pork. Food very bland cold and tasteless. When I had to keep asking for gravy sauces etc she couldn’t cope and disappeared. Manager’s fault for using young inexperienced girls and not...
