THE THREE HORSESHOES - BATCOMBE
PUB LIFE
That wonderful feeling of a cold beer next to a roaring fire and ideally the kids not in tow!
The Three Horseshoes a 17th-century pub located in the village of Batcombe in Somerset. The pub offers fine ales, outdoor seating, great food, private dining and 5 beautiful, en-suite rooms.
It has been beautifully renovated in that it has maintained its authentic and traditional ‘pub’ character whilst introducing the appropriately ‘stylish’ touches.
We were greeted at the bar by a friendly smile and promise of local lagers. We plonked ourselves alongside the roaring fire and gulped down a half pint. Once we were situated at our table in the spacious and convivial dining room, we struggles our way through the menu. What to choose!
The menu was, for me, perfectly sized. Enough variety to please a selection of diners but not too expansive that you fear that the kitchen might not have a speciality or eye on the local and seasonal element that I so enjoy. We are pie enthusiasts and seafood/fish lovers so we enthusiastically opted for Lemon Sole with seasonal new potato sides and Steak & Onion Pie.
We chose well, the meal was absolutely delicious. We had a white wine recommendation that paired very well with the fish and the company and the meal ended with finger wiped clean plates. All in all, an ideal pub lunch, one we recommended immediately to friends and family.
