Visited the Horseshoe for the first time for a get together with old friends over a bite to eat, and had a very pleasant evening. There was a decent selection of ales on tap including Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Hawkstone IPA, Tring Brewery mild, I had the cod chips for my meal and it was excellent, a lovely piece of cod perfectly cooked served with very tasty minty peas. Superb. I think everyone else was pleased with their food, especially those who ordered the rack of ribs. The whole pub has stone/tiled flooring, and the decor is a little spartan, these combined don't help with acoustics, so I can see that at times some may find it a little noisy. Overall a decent village pub that does some great food. Would happily return

Such a lovely local pub. Super friendly staff, quick service, cosy decor and great food (try the sticky ribs and triple cooked chips!).

We came a couple of weeks ago with family for a Christmas get together. We hadn’t booked the Christmas menu, we were so grateful to be called to make sure we didn’t miss out and get our choices in. The food was exceptional, a member of our family has to have gluten free food, he had a really good choice of options and the food was beautiful. The team as always were friendly and we felt so welcome and looked after! Thank you for a lovely time.

Lovely pub with amazing food. The beef brisket is so tender, you won’t be disappointed. Friendly staff and prompt service. Will be back to try your Sunday lunch menu which a local gentleman said is a must!

Excellent Sunday lunch. Was quite busy so service a little slow but worth the wait. I had the Beef & Ale pie which is one of the best i have had, excellent pasty crisp and short with unctuous soft filling. My father had the roast beef brisket. The Roast Pots were some of the best he has had along with very good Yorkshire & Gravy. The meat is a cheap cut and we would happily pay more for a better joint.

Finally we organised ourselves to book a table for Sunday Lunch, although we arrived late it was not too much trouble ( I blame the slow walking puppy ) Attentive but not intrusive staff and beautifully cooked roast dinners, both the pork and beef very tender vegetables still with a bite,perfectly crunchy roast potatoes a huge homemade Yorkshire pudding topped with a rich sticky gravy. I never normally have dessert but I chose to after such a lovely dinner, and the doughnuts were also delicious. I love that The Horseshoe is dog friendly and I loved the new curtains that have been lovingly made in the restaurant. Tino, Charlotte and the team, have worked their magic and proven The Horseshoe to be an amazing asset to Lavendon long may it continue. It’s wonderful to see The Horseshoe loved by the village and the owners. The atmosphere is superb.

Had lunch there today for first time. Went with mum and dad and fiance. Literally couldn't fault the place. Friendly staff all made us feel welcome. Food all came out piping hot and cooked to perfection. All very sensibly priced. And all were delicious. Def be back here again soon pity it's not nearer us or would be there all the time. Top job team.

Amazing hosts, cosy and refurbished through out, the highest quality food and the attention to quality real ale makes for a must visit addition to Lavendon.
Meeting with friends we always choose a different place to meet. We had heard The Horseshoe had had a makeover so decided to give it a go. On entry it was very busy and loud and our friends gave the bar a miss because of this and went straight to the table. We were sat in a corner by a large party that got louder and louder. We asked to be moved but there wasn't anywhere to go. At points during our conversation we had to wait to talk to each other as we couldn't hear each other. Whilst I know people celebrate in large parties knowing where to place your customers has to be an art to keeping everyone happy. The room had been refurbished but it looked like they hadn't finished. Curtain hooks with no curtains no room dressing at all,it felt bare and uninviting. The food was very good but portions looked small on large plates and tasted far better than the presentation. Maybe I am too old for this place, and it's more to service the people of the village rather than coming for a nice meal out. This is a place for burgers and a pint. I would go back as the food was good but maybe midweek when its calmer.

Ladies and gents, anyone that follows knows I'm honest, if not sometimes brutal but by eck, I've been bamboozled by friendship and good ale. We came in here as a duo, within minutes, we were a trio and so on. The bar staff are phenomenal, not just in making you feel at home but serving quality ale. Then comes the weird part, ya all know I'm a northerner but these southern patrons opened the fold and we meandered right in. The ales are crisp and clear, the staff are above what they need to be but the patrons turn this pub into home and for that I highly recommend you take the time to call here for a pint or 3

A resonable meal at a reasonable price, what more could you ask for.
