The Horseshoe Sywell

Excellent experience. Walked in at 14:52 when the kitchen was closing at 15:00 and they were more than happy to take our order anyway. Speed of service was excellent. We'd only been sat down for 10 minutes and the food was with us. Lovely garden area too. Amazing no nonsense food at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you to all the staff. It's great to see a small independent pub deliver such excellent service.

Well, what can I say. This pub is superb. We travel all over the UK for work and we booked a table for this eve and also told there was a quiz night too. We had a blast of an evening, excellent food lovely staff and a great quizmaster. Made us feel very welcome and to be honest one of the best evenings we have had for ages. I can't rate this place high enough, if you are in the area its a must and if its Tuesday quiz night you will have a fantastic evening. Well done and thank you to everyone this evening

Popped in here in search of a Sunday lunch, only to find extortionate drink prices, incompetent bar staff, microwaved “food”, and gravy thinner than tap water somehow!
This used to be a great place to eat years ago but this new (latest) ownership is to be avoided.

When I go for dinner, I don’t expect it to be on the table within 5 minutes - that should’ve be the warning to send it back. Half the chicken was pink, vegetables were lacking in flavour and quantity, and as mentioned above, the gravy was barely gravy.
The only redeeming feature was the pint of coke; although, at over £3 for it, it’s a good job it was nice!

Excellent staff, brought drinks to the table, very welcoming. Such a nice beer garden. Somewhere for the children to play. Always enjoy it here. Our local pub good prices good food, YUM! Xxxx

Dont be fooled by the garden!!

Its a lovely garden and great for the kids and the dog.
A really nice place to be sat in the warm weather.

We dropped in for a Sunday dinner as a family of 5. I cant sugar coat it, the food was abysmal.
The beef was over cooked and tough as boots.
Nothing on the plate was seasoned at all. It was very, very bland. All the veg had been thrashed within an inch of its life and was flavorless mush.
I am sure the potatoes came into the pub in a frozen bag. They were dry and lifeless and lacking any crispness that you would expect from a roast potato.
Roasted parsnips that had not been properly roasted. They were just disgusting.

The kids dishes were just various items from the freezer plunged in a deep fat fryer. All pretty lifeless and lacking in seasoning as well. I also haven't seen bangers that cheap served in a restaurant for 20 years.

Everything just screamed that it was purchased at the cheapest price it could be bought for and it results in food that was completely devoid of flavour.

Its a shame, as the location is lovely, the garden is great. It could be a truly great venue. Its a real candidate for Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmares. I honestly haven't eaten a meal that bad in a pub for decades. It was like stepping back in time to the early 90s.

Very poor dining experience & not good value for money.

First time visit with family for Sunday lunch and the food was awful & bland.

All of our table agreed it was poor - from the overall experience, price paid and mainly the quality of the ingredients.

When asked about our food I advised that it wasn’t good and that none of us were enjoying our meals. My mother in law asked if the meat was cooked freshly that day and we were told it was however it just tasted like it had been pre cooked & heated up. We were offered to swap for something else but decided not to as was put off by the food we had been given. Comparable to a microwave meal but triple the cost.

Nice pub and a nice Guinness even though it’s a bit pricey at £4.70 a pint, time to sample some food

Lovely pub with a lovely garden. Food was served fairly quickly. All day breakfast was not bad apart from the sausages which I didn’t like, the gammon was fatty and a bit tough. Is expensive compared to other pubs. Lovely staff and covid safe.
Update: my in-laws went for a carvery and was very disappointed, vegetables were cold and the food was not very good. They won’t be returning as it’s also expensive for a disappointing meal. They prefer the queens head in Wellingborough.
