Three Horse Shoes - Hertsmere

After coming back from vacation and finding an empty fridge, there was nothing better than discovering this charming little restaurant. Not only is the food excellent, but you can also enjoy a drink in the bar area after your meal.

I visited this restaurant for a family lunch and had an amazing experience from beginning to end. The food was outstanding, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The prices were great too. I was very impressed with the decor and the level of detail. The staff were attentive and friendly, creating a lovely atmosphere. Everyone seemed happy. I would definitely return and am excited to try something new on my next visit.

I wanted to say thank you to the entire team at The Three Horseshoes for making my 60th birthday party such a success. With 76 guests, it was important to us that the food was served promptly and served hot. It was important that the meat was tender and everyone’s menu choices were adhered to. Gary, Mandy and Dwayne patiently listened to every thought and concern that we had, prior to the event. They then proceeded to pull off the miracle of ensuring that all of our requirements were met. In the end, our day surpassed our best expectations. The serving staff were a delight but the hero of the day was Chef Mandy. To cater for 76 people simultaneously, in a restaurant kitchen, was certainly no easy achievement. I appreciate how challenging it can be to provide a three-course meal to 76 guests who have ordered from a menu and who are seated at the same time. I have run large catered events myself and I know how much easier it is when there are multiple ‘seatings’ throughout the day and when you have the luxury of a substantial hotel kitchen. To get it right, with the limitations of a smaller restaurant kitchen and with 76 customers all arriving simultaneously, is a credit to Chef Mandy and her team. Well done Chef, you were a superstar. The food quality was impeccable. Thankfully, the weather was perfect and that allowed us to use the outdoor seating, as well as the main restaurant. Our guests were full of compliments for the food, the setting and the ambience. The wine flowed freely all day and when the bill eventually arrived we were pleasantly surprised that our pre-paid deposit was spot on and there was nothing more to pay. The staff could not have done more and we are so grateful for their remarkable endeavours. A special call out to the warm and friendly bar staff too. Finally, thank you to Phil for your patience and input in the weeks leading up to the event. We will return to the restaurant very soon to enjoy a family meal but perhaps with 70 or so less guests. Meanwhile, please can I pre-book my 70th at the Three Horseshoes in July 2033. Regards Lane

We have been few times since renovation and the staff have always been welcoming. This time My husband booked a 2 hours slot table @6pm. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived except for one table. We were allocated a table on the side with uncomfortable seats, and squeezed between 2 other tables at the back. When we asked to change the table we were told the all other tables were booked! When I asked if who ever is coming later asked for the specific tables, the restaurant manager answered no, but showed me on a booking system that our preferred table was allocated to someone else who was to arrive a little later. I did not find the explanation convincing. They obviously have preferred guests and we were not good enough to get the better table. He was rude and lacked manors. Not surprised to find multiple rude manager reviews on tripadvisor Very disappointed

Nicely refurbished. Food was nice. A little short staffed, as it was bank holiday weekend. New establishment early days and wait for things to settle.
