Three Horseshoes

Great pub all around. The menu is varied which is nice, and everything I’ve tried has been tasty. A great burger and fantastic ribs. A nice variety of drinks and yummy desserts. The staff have always been attentive. friendly, and accommodating which is a must for us. The Three Horseshoes is at the top of our list when I don’t feel like cooking :) Weekends get busy so make sure you book then.

Growing up this was my «local». I ate there a few years ago and it was pretty decent pub food. Against my better judgment when my cousin suggested eating here with the family (because it is close) I agreed and so 5 of us arrived for dinner.
First thing you note is that ALL the character of the place has been removed by replacing original pub sign etc has been replaced with generic, plain white lettering on a maroon backdrop plastic looking signs.
Second they seem to have changed it from a pub (translation for my US buddies — bar) to a very ordinary restaurant. The food was DREADFUL. Normally I would have rammed it down the waitresses throat but with family around I swallowed it (my anger not the food). I ordered bangers and mash — Surely no-​one can make a dry nasty English banger?! Oh these guys can — and the nasty luke warm gravy crap? And the sausages were basically burnt so much that I thought my teeth would crack when I TRIED to eat one. My uncle barely touched his chicken dish it was so bad — my Dad (the human vacuum) ate his fish and chips but it didn’t look good. The girls meals were totally not memorable in any good way. Never again.

I’d give the three horseshoes five stars really if it wasn’t for the fact the only got two babyseats and they aren’t very good ones, my son can get out of them pretty easily. But apart from that I love this place.
The food is yummy. The service is good. It is a cosy restaurant and the outdoor pub garden is lovely on a warm day. The landlady Jane is fantastic and makes you feel very welcome. Children are very welcome in here and my little boy loves it. They don’t do a childrens menu but the portions are so big that normally my son would just share with me.
They also have a big disabled bathroom with babychanging.
I think from all eaty places in Letchworth this is the one you should visit as it is a truely lovely place. Just make sure to book if you need a babyseat.

One of many average pubs in Letchworth. Remarketed recently as being ‘classier’ than the rest, and in some ways it has succeeded.
Table service for food and a new menu have helped, although with the ‘games room’ remaining which has a quiz machine, fruit machine, dart board and pool table it still feels cheap.
Good selction of drinks and food is not bad either, although service can be slow. Plenty of seating areas, but can get busy weekdays during lunch.
