Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Give the afternoon tea a miss

So firstly I would like to point out that we have been here many times and it has always been first class, unfortunately we booked afternoon for a family birthday and right from the get go it didn't bode well, on arrival the lady could...barely smile the table we were given had been laid ready but also had half drunk drinks left on it, we waited and waited and 20 mins later we ordered the drinks and waited and waited only 3 arrived another ten mins and it arrived she did apologise. 30 mins we had to wait for the food which is fine I know they are busy but the sandwiches were dry as if the bread wasn't very fresh. Such a shame as we were really looking forward to it and a bit upset as it was for a birthday.More

Afternoon tea - disappointing experience

Booked afternoon tea for 3 people. Two 3 tier plate stands arrived and there was a nice selection of sandwiches although some had hardened a little after being made in advance. Very disappointed that only 2 of each of the dessert/cake options were provided considering...there were 3 of us! The scones were still cold from obviously being defrosted and were incredibly dry and difficult to eat. Service wasn’t the greatest although it was fairly busy to be fair. All in all sorry to say it was a very disappointing experience.More

Not good experience for a Sunday Roast

I did a review a few years back under different management and the food wasn't cooked well so gave quite a negative review.We visited for a Sunday roast, the place was quite full so thought things have changed.I had the 3 meat roast...which came with unlimited vegetables. The meat was quite soft and had no texture and the beef had a lump of gristle that was most of the beef. Which I did mention.The vegetables were nothing to write about and while I have no evidence it was more like reheated in a ding ding...We each had a portion of cauliflower cheese which was quite small and quite dry, I suspect heated in a microwave.Had we wanted more vegetables there was nobody to ask and nobody came to ask if the food was ok.The best part was the puddings I for one will give this a miss but like I say the place was quite fullMore

Great experience. Great food! Fabulous place

Haven't seen my sister in a long time and decided to come here for a Sunday roast. Service was brilliant and we were seen very quickly. The waiter was humourous and knowledgeable and had good table manners. We had a waitress too who took our...desserts who was equally as fabulous. As a publican myself these guys have it right!! Will be coming backMore

Disappointing if you want a relaxing lunch

This is our local pub and was taken over quite recently so thought we would book a table to try the Sunday roast. Good service however waiter presentation could do with some attention, he was so scruffy he looked like he had just walked in...off a farm. Food was fine veg a bit underdone but flavoursome. We were seated beside a large family table with a child who screeched very loudly throughout and being so close was pretty jarring and not relaxing at all. One of the wait staff apologised profusely for the extreme noise from said table when bringing the bill even though we hadn't mentioned it. Also the whole place was heaving with dogs, we counted a dozen and they kept coming, most of them barking and being allowed to sit on the restaurant seats. The waiter dound us a table in the bar to finish our drinks which was also heaving with dogs and noisy small kids. We weren't sure if we had walked into a creche or a dog kennel it was not a nice place to be and was quite stressful to be honest. Ordered a cider which we had to wait 15 minutes for because the barrel had to be changed and nobody was doing it. We are sadly giving this place a miss in future unless it's for drinks.More

Venue for wedding reception

We hired The Stables for our daughters wedding reception. From the booking to the end of the event Steve and Amy could not have been more helpful. The food was amazing, large portions and beautifully presented . The staff were all so helpful both before...and during the reception.We would not hesitate to recommend The Stables at the Three Horseshoes to anyone for any event .More

Give this place a wide Berth. Sub standard

18th December 2023. Food disgusting - almost felt as though it was yesterdays reheated. Meal replaced but still awful. Service painfully slow - total waste of money. Not overly busy - menu not reflecting festive season- described items left off plated meal- needed to be...requested. Out of stock of some beers !!!! We won’t be returning - sad as some months ago everything seemed good.More

Worst experience ever

First time visiting and won’t be visiting again, to start of my food came out and it was cold then my order was wrong and it was sent back to the kitchen where I could hear the chef and the server arguing over cooking me...a replacement. Then the server came out and was relaying this to the man behind the bar which was very uncomfortable so I told them to cancel the replacement as it was very off putting, upon this I had two staff going over the menu to find out the menu in the kitchen is not the same as the menu on the table. This was then relayed back to me as if I had ordered incorrectly, also there was items missing from our meals which we weren’t informed about until me asked where they were to then be told the server should have told us they have ran out.Then we asked for the bill we were happy to pay for what we had eaten and drank but not for the main meals the guy behind the bar was outraged and didn’t seem to understand we didn’t come to eat here separately, he made no secret about being angry about this as if he had pushed the screen any harder it would have cracked! Customer service was shocking and the food was terrible I’ve seen they are charging £70 for a Christmas Day dinner if the staff aren’t happy to work a Tuesday night I can’t imagine they will be happy to work Christmas Day!More

Fab food in a crazy pub (on this day)!

Booked on line, seating was a slow but not helped by customers just sitting at any table. Service was slow but the pub was incredibly busy. Staff friendly but rather chaotic. Food fabulous and you just need to go with the flow, especially on a...Sunday!More

Very poor quality food

We came as 2 couples and all our meals were disappointing and we couldn’t eat the cauliflower cheese which looked as though the cheese sauce had been made by melting a burger cheese slice on top of rubbery cauliflower. The gravy on the sausages was...congealed and the sausages were barely cooked and then microwaved.We definitely wouldn’t go back.More
