The Three Horseshoes, Southall

I�ve been drinking at this pub for at least 9 years now; it has become one of the worst pubs in the borough. In the last year or so it has become a magnet for local drug dealers/hookers as a hang out and a place for them. A lot of local�s have stopped coming to the pub due to this, also because the pub is now very run down. The toilets are not fit for animals to let alone humans, the men have to use the ladies toilet most of the time. Sometimes there�s only 1 toilet to use on a busy Saturday night between the men & ladies. The landlord has his dog�s behind the bar, which cause a bad smell thought out the pub, I was there 1 night where the dog done a sh*t on the carpet, I�ve heard this has happened a few times. Also there is a large community of travellers that drink there know, it does not infect me but does infect others specially the older locals. There also been a lot of trouble there recently windows being smashed/ fights etc, police are called on a regular basis. And on the weekend it�s a health & safety hazard, the staff lock the both front gates with pad lock by 11pm, whilst the pub is full of people being served till 1am. If a fire broke out it could be deadly an issue that the pub owners/management/council need look at.

This was such a good pub back in the days, clean, tidy, a top atmosphere. I think over the years it has had bad management, from the pubs owners (pubs & bars) so they can save money this is proof by the state the pub is in, to the present staff & landlord.

This pub is in need of desperate injection of money for a total refit, new staff & management from bottom to top including a new strict policy asp.
