Food was excellent. The place was very busy but didn't have towait too long for food to arrive. Always a good sign that the place was run well.

When you walk into a timbered interior with a comfy warm atmosphere and a fire in the inglenook giving off a lovely smell of burning logs you know you have made a great choice of venue for your Sunday lunch. There is a terrific menu but we both had the Roast Beef and it was a good choice. three good slices of tasty beef, 5 roast potatoes, a roast parsnip, carrots, peas, beans and swede surrounded with plenty of gravy. Delicious. My pal didn't have enough room for desert but I managed to squeeze in a cherry crumble and custard. Yummy. Having seen the menu we'll have to come back to try more of their lovely home cooked food. Nice big car park, great welcome and really great service. It was very busy so a reservation is recommended.

Food was good; it has to be said. VFM? Perhaps bring honest, the top end on cost for what was served.Friendly service and quick!Limited atmosphere as only a few other cudtomers present in the building at the time of our visit.Vegetarian options: Various options are available.Parking: Plenty of space. 'Bkue Badge' exclusively by the front door.Wheelchair accessibility: Not applicable 'thru front/main door. Ask in advance if alternative access available for wheelchair situation .... but remember... this is an 'olde worlde' pub!!

An excellent traditional country pub. Sadly these pubs are a dying breed. I’m originally from the West Country and this style of pub still prevails down there, but Suffolk seems to have lost most of them. I absolutely love the Horseshoes - the beer was good and well kept, the food was decent and reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and on the ball. It felt like home!

Thanks for a wonderful meal, the liver, onions and bacon was the best I had for years. Phil and Christine from

We visited this pub on a ride-out for the day. From the outside, it looks to be a very traditional pub, and the interior confirms that it is. There is a large range of drinks available, including a few alcohol-free beers. We chose to have scampi and chips in a basket, and the cod and chips. Both turned out to be homemade (and freshly made), so we were treated to crispy batter on the fish, crunchy chips... well, you get the idea. Also, the portion sizes are generous without being over-whelming, unlike so many modern gastro-pubs which over-charge for a tiny portion. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and found it to be excellent value for money. It's great to enjoy a traditional pub which hasn't been turned modern. Lets hope that The Horsehoes stays this way.

Lovely pub with warm atmosphere. Friendly, efficient staff and a large range of food options on the menu. Unless there was a separate entrance though I’m not sure it was wheelchair friendly as there were a few steps going in the front door. Parking good, large, well maintained car park. Would definitely recommend.

We were staying in Lavenham and didn’t fancy any of the restaurants there so we were delighted to find The Horseshoes. We went in on a Saturday evening and were welcomed by the locals. We had lovely food. The service was excellent and we felt very comfortable in this beautiful old pub. As we’d had great food on a busy Saturday we went in another 3 time. We had 8 different meals during our stay and each meal was excellent. Just wish this pub was near where we live.
