About This Pub

Ah, The Horn Inn – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, tucked away on the high street in Messingham. From the reviews I've had a look at, most people are over the moon about the food; the tapas evenings sound like an absolute treat, with generous portions and flavours that keep you coming back for more. The atmosphere is spot on too – imagine a cosy, homely space that's buzzing with chatter, making it ideal for a laid-back evening out. And the team behind the bar? They're dead helpful and go out of their way to make sure you're having a good time, which really adds to the whole experience. Prices are fair as well, so you won't feel short-changed. On the flip side, it's a shame that not every visit lives up to the hype; a few mentions of dishes not quite being up to scratch, like meals that could do with a bit more time in the pot, might put a dampener on things if you're not lucky with your timing. Overall, though, with such a strong reputation from the crowd, I'd say it's well worth a visit – just go in with an open mind and maybe stick to the crowd-pleasers for a safer bet.

Just had Tapas at the Horn and it was fabulous. Had 7 dishes and could not fault anything. Great service and a friendly welcome. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend the Tapas evening on the first Friday of the month.

We came in for meal to try food as we would be taking friends out the following wk. Hand pull beer was superb and food was very good, so booked for following wk. Not so good this time. Two had risotto which was really stodgy, one had lamb shank, which could have been cooked longer as incredible difficult to get off the bone, also served in a dish????. Previous wk had the Cherry rum bread and butter pudding drizzled with dark chocolate, delicious 😋. So had again, it was only bread and butter pudding. (Was still nice), but made a comment to waitress who said it was the "pot washer" that had prepared desserts????. No doubt we would have had some cherry rum and chocolate had it been prepared by the chef. We didn't send it back as we assumed the menu must have changed. Really disappointed with our visit 😕

Fabulous, cosy pub with homely interior. Staff are friendly and really attentive to ensure you have a good time. Food is fabulous, really tasty and the chef makes a massive effort to provide a good menu. Staff really try their hardest to ensure you feel Covid secure and space tables out and maintain discipline in a sensible way. A lovely, friendly place to visit Helen and Lauren are just fabulous and make you feel really welcome.
