The plaudits for The Three Horseshoes are flowing in right now... a Top 5 gastropub in the UK, Timeout naming it a Top 10 restaurant in the country. We were extremely excited to try it.
And it didn't disappoint. The standout dish, the venison gnocchi starter, was nothing short of sensational. The basque cheesecake was baked perfectly. And the sticky toffee pudding was a brilliant example of Britain's favourite dessert.
Our mains - the venison pie and the halibut - we're slightly less remarkable. The former was extremely rich, making it a challenge to enjoy from first to last bite. The latter was tasty but a little tough.
But no matter - the atmosphere is a delight, the team are lovely (and we're particularly kind to our dog) and the food really is excellent (if a tiny bit inconsistent for us).
Wonderful place to stop for a fantastic meal.
