About

Nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Winkwell on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, The Three Horseshoes is a family‑run pub that has delighted locals and visitors for 15 years. With a warm, traditional ambience, the pub boasts a charming main bar, an intimate Tac Bar offering cosy barside dining, and a vibrant dog‑friendly section where four‑legged companions are welcome to relax with their owners. The airy outdoor patio provides a perfect spot to unwind while watching canal boats glide by, making it an ideal setting for brunch, lunch or dinner. The menu is a celebration of hearty British classics re‑imagined with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From delightful starters like marinated olives and homemade focaccia to generous mains such as béarnaise‑marinated lamb kofta, smoked haddock fishcakes and a range of roast specials, every dish is crafted to please both traditionalists and adventurous diners alike. Vegetarian and vegan options are plentiful, and the gluten‑sensitive menu ensures that everyone experiences a comforting meal. Beyond great food and drink, the pub offers a welcoming environment for families, couples and solo travellers. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a relaxed evening by the canal, indulge in a family‑friendly meal, or simply experience the local hospitality, The Three Horseshoes delivers an authentic, friendly atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
