Do you remember what Traditional Pubs

were like before the big brewers turned them into steak houses and sports bars with fruit machines, pool tables and TV’s everywhere. Well this is the Horseshoes Inn, Cockfield, a Grade2 listed building built in 1350 AD. A beautiful, newly thatched Freehouse, it has been purchased by Lloyd and Jessica. The Inn was closed when they acquired the freehold. They decided to restore the Inn to its former glory, opening up the large fireplace so it can be seen from both bars, exposed beams and a traditional tiled floor in the main bar, a new bar and back fitting built. In the Conservatory, which was too hot in the summer and cold in the winter, they decided to put a traditional slate roof on to replace the glass, new carpets, curtains and redecorated throughout. The Pub now has a real warm traditional and friendly feel, offering good home made traditional pub food and value for money.

A few dishes on offer include liver and bacon, sausage and mash, fish and chips cooked in beer batter, home made selection of traditional pies and puddings, and the daily special, choice of meats on the Traditional Sunday roast. There is also a good selection of wines by the glass or bottle, good choice of Traditional beers with some changing weekly as guest ales. With a lovely outside garden area in the front of the Pub, Lloyd and Jessica are planning a children’s play area at the rear of the Horseshoes Inn. Opening seven days a week for lunch and dinner, why not pay a visit you will not be disappointed. Bookings taken for lunch and dinner and a private function room available for those special occasions. So why not call and make that booking for you and friends, you will love the ambience of this fully restored traditional English Inn. Lloyd and Jessica will make you feel welcome, both are very experienced, having previously run their own Pub. Jess is a chef and Lloyd was a professional golfer, they have a 9 year old son called Oscar so a real family run business.

So why not come and say hello, they will be pleased to see you and make you feel welcome. Call: 01284 828177.

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.

Beautiful pub that could be straight out of a medieval fantasy. Welcoming and jovial locals from the moment you walk in. Great selection of drinks and the food is a good standard. Well worth the visit!
