Ah, The Three Horseshoes – what a gem of a spot in Bourne End, isn't it? I've got to say, chatting about it feels like sharing a round with mates over a good ale. It's got this prime position by the canal that just makes everything better; imagine settling in with a drink, soaking up the scenery, and maybe even spotting a boat or two drifting past – pure bliss on a warm evening. The pub itself has that classic, homely charm with its historic roots, and being family-run, you can tell they've put their heart into it, making it a welcoming place for all sorts, whether you're there for a quick bite, a full meal, or just to unwind. The food often gets rave reviews, with people raving about the fresh, handmade dishes that give pub classics a real lift, and the staff seem like they're always up for a chat or a helping hand. But, let's be straight, it's not all perfect – there have been a few grumbles about things like the veg not living up to expectations, turning up as if it's from a frozen pack rather than fresh, which is a shame when the rest is so good. Still, with such high spirits overall, I'd say it's well worth a visit for anyone looking for a proper pub experience, just keep an eye on those details to make the most of it.
