The Horseshoe - Wellingborough

We waited for more than an hour for our food, which arrived looking less than appetizing. My meal looked like it had been sloppily thrown onto the plate, so I refused to eat it. The kids burger was overcooked and the fish meal was forgotten until we reminded them. Overall, it was not a great experience and I don't think the staff cared because no one asked us how our meal was.

I called ahead to confirm if the restaurant was dog-friendly. They said it was, but dogs were only allowed in the bar area. This was fine, but we were a bit put off by some rowdy football fans at another table. My companion needed a gluten-free, vegan meal and the only option was a baked potato with baked beans, which was okay. Since we weren't looking for a full meal, we each had a baked potato - I had tuna. Along with two glasses of lime and soda, our bill came to over 16 pounds. It seemed a bit pricey, but I guess pubs are now realizing that non-alcoholic drinks can be profitable. When our potatoes arrived, they were accompanied by the smallest salad I've ever seen, including a dried-out piece of cucumber. The potatoes were large but clearly microwaved, making them flabby and not crispy. They were also barely warm. We did receive a couple of butter portions, but no one checked in to see how our meal was. We'll try the other pub in the village next time, at the aerodrome.

We stumbled upon this quaint garden oasis after our walk and were pleasantly surprised. As new residents of Sywell, we thoroughly enjoyed the good food and service with no complaints. We will definitely be returning to dine and drink here again.

This pub just keeps on giving, the food was delicious, the staff excellent, the village setting delightful and spotlessly clean throughout. A truly relaxing lunch with friends, thank you.

So I booked this place for 19 people to celebrate my 30th birthday. We had 5 different families with their children and had the worst experience I have ever had!! We booked here specifically as I personally do not like a carvery however I think a carvery would be better than the roast dinner I received here. 3 of us had a lamb roast to which it was fatty and acquired a weird bitter taste. The carrots were hard and far too big and to top it off the roast potatoes were soft. The stuffing was horrible and looked more like an onion bargee and there was just a silly lump of shredded cabbage. The selection of vegetables was a joke. The whole dinner was tasteless however the 2 people with beef said the beef was cooked nice. 2 people had burgers, 1 being a child and the other an adult and both couldn’t eat the burgers as they were far too over cooked. 1 small child had fish fingers but these were rockhard and far too overcooked. The service was from the waitresses were very poor. They never came to ask us if we needed anything and how the food was. They staff were not friendly and welcoming atall and the whole experience was a disaster. I was told that a manager would be out to speak to me but this did not happen. It was my 30th birthday and I was so disappointed by the whole day. It completely ruined it, I did not have a nice day atall and I certainly will not visit for food again!!! After spending over £200 and leaving hungry, no I certainly would not recommend!!
