    Every year we walk to the pub and it never disappoints. On a sunny afternoon there can be no better place than to sit outside and enjoy the country views, and enjoy the food and drink at The Three Horseshoes. The roasts are fantastic and there’s a good range of wines and cocktails to quench the thirst. The team are super friendly, lots of dogs and happy punters. Thanks! We’ll be back again next year 👍

    I could not recommend the Shepherd and Dog pub more highly. We booked on a busy bank holiday weekend, during a heat wave and the pub was fairly busy, but the staff remained extremely pleasant, calm and attentive. A BBQ and children's magician provided an added bonus and the children were entertained by the beautiful garden and children's play area. The waiting staff were courteous and helpful and staff were very supportive in catering for my son's allergies. The food was exquisite- some of the best pub food I have ever had and the location was stunning. we enjoyed a lovely walk afterwards. The whole experience was very relaxing and enjoyable.
