We hadn't planned to go out for lunch, it was just a spontaneous action after a visit to Belvoir Castle. We decided to drive around and pop into the any place that could accommodate us. We saw the Three Horse Shoes , it looked like a typical quaint English pub. The car park was busy , so that was a good sign but we arrived closer to 2.00 pm and expected to be turned away. However, we were given a very warm welcome and if we waited a couple of minutes , a table would be ready. Just as we were looking at the menu on the chalk board, the roast beef was erased.There were other choices but we decided to leave it and go elsewhere. However, we received our drinks and before we could say ' forget the table ', the waitress enquired if we were wanting the beef, to which we both said yes.

Read moreAbsolutely amazing experience! We stopped off on the way back from a day out and so glad we did. The lady who served us couldn't do enough, had everything we needed and asked us if there was anything else plenty of times. It was early afternoon so was very quiet in the lounge area and gave off very cute village vibes, the atmosphere on a summers day was gorgeous. The food was amaaazing (defo recommend the burgers and chips) and was like proper pub cooked food. Massive pots of tea, good portion of food. Genuinely a lovely place - if it was closer to where we lived we'd be coming back more often but unfortunately all I can do is tell you that...
