About This Pub
Ah, the Horseshoe – it's one of those places that really grows on you if you're after a proper pub experience in Wellingborough. From what I've gathered from folks' chats, the staff are absolute stars; they're so welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home, whether it's a quick hello or organising a birthday shout-out. The music and DJs can be brilliant for getting the crowd going, and events like karaoke add that extra spark to liven things up. Plus, with reasonably priced drinks and a menu that includes some solid veggie choices, it's easy to settle in for the evening. On the downside, though, there are times when the tunes feel a bit samey, which can make the atmosphere fall flat, and it's frustrating if they run out of your go-to beer. Overall, it's a solid choice for a night out if you're up for some fun, but keep in mind it might not always hit the mark – still, I'd say it's worth popping in to see for yourself.

Great Djs, great music, hilarious security guards! All the staff here was so lovely and we even got a shout out for my mates birthday! The drinks were reasonably priced too. Would definitely go back here again.
To be quite frank I was very disappointed of this club especially bc I personally heard good reviews of it being a Wellingborough local however the atmosphere is abysmal and depressing especially the music it’s the same 5 songs playing over and over the dj really needs to include more diverse music to make this establishment more attractive and for a better overall experience. The bar staff are very friendly and do a brilliant job every night:) all in all the horseshoe has a lot of potential however I feel it’s not been quite reach.
Not from Wellingborough but here seeing family for a weekend, popped into the horseshoe randomly and wow! Everyone was so welcoming, the bar staff (especially Jordan, jamie and charlotte) were awesome and luke hosts the best karaoke I've ever been too! Will definitely come back again. Thank you luke and horseshoe for an amazing night! Also Jordan has an awesome voice!
On a good day, you can have an absolutely brilliant time at the Horseshoe. Recently however, myself along with my friends would agree the disappointment has been quite regular. Thursday night Karaoke’s decent, and is generally a lot less busy than Friday night, the selection of songs available however is concerning, and desperately needs updating - this goes for both Thursday and Friday night karaoke.
Karaoke aside, the music played at the Horseshoe on both Friday and Saturday nights has also been disappointing. Almost exclusively consisting of R&B and Reggae, with the same set list seemingly being played each night. I can confidently say that I speak for a large percentage of Wellingborough’s club going/nightlife participating population when I say that the genres of music played needs to be diversified to also include electronic/dance, indie and rock music, both modern and classic. This would make the Horseshoe a desirable venue for every demographic and music taste in Wellingborough - and would in turn would make the smoking garden far less busy - due to the sheer amount of people on the dance floor, and buying drinks!
A few changes and the Horseshoe could undoubtedly be the most exciting venue in the town.
Nice looking pub with a decent menu including some veggie options. The wrap was substantial. Loses a point for running out of doombar and other draught bitter.
