Three Horseshoes

Very disappointed - We returned to this pub for a family birthday celebration and although we booked had to wait nearly an hour for a starter to arrive and had not been served our main courses by 2.10 having arrived at 12.50. The kitchen cannot cope with the number of tables on a fine day when the garden is full. It is not acceptable to keep customers waiting this long. Our day was ruined. The apology was perfunctory.

A wonderful find!
We have been in the area on holiday and discovered this lovely pub.
The home cooked food is fabulous and the beer is great!
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, also helpful on information of walks etc in the area.
Dogs are also very welcome.
The garden has the most breathtaking views of the downs, and the roses are beautiful!

What a fantastic pub!
Beer sold straight from the barrel (the best way)
Great home cooked food, tasty and plenty of it.
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Dogs are welcome, and the garden has the most amazing view over the downs.
A wonderful discovery, and we will certainly go back time and time again.

Great old fashioned country pub selection of beers on stillage and all the menu home-made. Fantastic views from the garden although can get busy on sunny weekends. Dogs made very welcome as are well-behaved children.

Arrived at the pub with my husband, 3 daughters and our dog. Initially ordered 5 main meals and a round of drinks. My husband then enquired about ordering a single starter for himself and this was encouraged by the polite waitress. Whilst my husband passed the kitchen on his way to the toilet he over heard the chef say to the waitress "look at that, just 1 starter and there is 5 of them, how selfish, what a f***ing arsehole". I am totally disgusted by this type of comment and behaviour. We complained to the waitress who acknowledged that this was said and apologised and we cancelled our meals and left. What amazes me more is that the owner was made aware of the incident and she didn't either apologise or look up and from the bar when we left? The most shocking customer service i think i have ever received?!!

Tue 24 May.

Lovely olde worlde pub serving nice home cooked food and lovely fresh real ales. Busy but still charming.
A very relaxing end to a busy day for me, will certainly recommend to others.

Sat 14th May
Supper at the pub started well with nice pint of Pots.

Food I ordered, Venison ,was indifferent and only just warm enough.

The Cote De Rhone Red was brought to the table already opened, always a worry. The wine itself was awful for £18,95.
Sharp and uninteresting for a 2008. Unfortunately I had had a 5 Euro bottle from a French supermarket very recently which was stunning.

The wine ruined the whole meal for me, and foolishly I didnt like to mention it to the landlady as I didnt want to spoilt the evening with friends.

The beer was good, but other pubs in the area are better value and better food.

Disappointed

A real shame and disappointment...

We visited at the weekend en route home from the coast as it was a pub we regularly visited when we lived locally, the weather was lovely and the location is superb. Our visit was spoiled completely by the shockingly rude and overwhelmingly patronising service. I enquired whether they served children’s portions (I have two children aged three and five) and what the cost would be. My wife went back in to check the menu and place an order. She was asked if she was with the tall man (me) as he'd asked similar questions and ‘if you have to ask the price you can't afford to eat here.’’

Laughingly ignorant and said without a hint of irony or humour. Fortunately there are other pubs nearby in South Harting and in nearby Buriton (The Five Bells) more worthy of a visit.

Lovely old interior to this pub, very small bar, old and not dressed up, beer casks on display, rooms on different levels. Great views - really good place to sit outside in the summer or snuggle up inside in the winter. Food was good too :)

What a smashing pub, full of character, 4 of us had a very pleasant lunch there today, 24/3/10. Good food and generous portions, interesting menu, cosy atmosphere, beautiful views, friendly people and dogs and a good choice of 4 ales.

Tried this pub a couple of months ago after a stunning walk along the South Downs Way.

Beer tapped straight from cask was excellent, Flowerpots particularly good. Starters were fantastic, then it took a nosedive...

Myself and my wife ordered the venison pie, only one turned up. I pointed this out to the member of staff at the bar who apologised and said she would send one out. By the time my wife had finished hers mine finally arrived, but instead of looking as well presented and appetising as the first it had the appearance of something that had been used for football practise and was considerably smaller compared to the first portion.

I complained, the dish was taken away, only to be returned to me after 60 seconds and as hot as if it had just come out of a nuclear reactor.

I complained that it was not in need of heating up in the microwave, but that it was not of the standard i was hoping for. I was told that it would taste just as good or i could wait (another half hour) for an alternative dish. On leaving i was not offered any money off the meal or an apology for the mix up and the poor state the food turned up in, but instead was drawn into a minor disagreement with the bar lady and chef in front of a bank of regular punters over the quality of my meal. I was astonished.

I had heard such great reviews for this pub, especially for its food, that my experience was a great disappointment. Hopefully my experience was a one off, but after the way i was treated by the staff i am pained to give it a second go.
