🍺 WHAT’S ON THE PUMPS? 🍺

There’s nothing quite like a proper pint in a proper country pub, and we’ve got three cracking ales ready to pour…

First up, Jail Ale 🍺
Brewed on Dartmoor, this dark amber ale has a beautifully smooth flavour with a sweet, fruity finish. A proper Devon pint at 4.8%.

Next, Otter Bitter 🍺
A classic copper-bronze bitter with malty, fruity and lightly spicy flavours. There’s a lovely balance of sweetness and bitterness, finished off with that satisfying dry finish. 3.6%.

And finally, Neck Oil Session IPA 🍺
Fresh, zesty and seriously easy drinking. Packed with citrus and passion fruit flavours, this pale ale is crisp, refreshing and perfect for those who fancy something a little lighter and fruitier. 4.3%.

So, what’s your pint? 👀

Jail Ale, Otter Bitter or Neck Oil?

Pop in, pull up a chair and enjoy a pint with us at The Three Horseshoes 🍻

WE’RE HIRING! 🍺

We’re looking for some new faces to join our team at The Three Horseshoes!

We currently have part-time positions available across our Bar & Front of House team, covering a mixture of daytime, evening and weekend shifts.

🍺 Bar experience is preferred, but for our Front of House roles, experience isn’t essential. We’re much more interested in finding people with a great work ethic, a positive attitude and a genuine passion for hospitality.

Sunday availability is a must, as it’s one of our busiest and most important days of the week!

We’re a busy country pub with a friendly, close-knit team, and we’re looking for people who are reliable, hardworking and aren’t afraid to get stuck in.

Sound like you?

Visit our website and apply through our careers page. Once we receive your application, we’ll be in touch!

WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE! ⭐️

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Chef Joe and our incredible kitchen team have been awarded a 5-star food hygiene rating! 🤩👏

A huge amount of hard work, care and attention goes on behind the scenes every single day, so we couldn’t be prouder to see the team’s dedication recognised with the highest possible rating.

From the food that leaves the kitchen to the standards kept behind the scenes, Joe and the team put so much pride into what they do, and this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ means a lot to us.

A massive well done to Chef Joe and the whole kitchen team. Very well deserved! 👏🍻
