The Horseshoe inn, Ebbesbourne Wake

After walking 14 miles we were lucky enough to stumble into this pub, on the rare occasion that it was open, on a sunday evening. The landlord, when asked if they were still serving food, said that it had all been pre-booked but, after seeing our sad faces, asked his wife and she said yes! All I can say is that it was worth the walk. We both had fish pie with vegetables and it was stunning. Proper fish in a decent, and not to much, sauce with fresh cooked veg and salad. The wine was spot on but the main thing about the food was the poppy dressing that was just to die for!

The landlord was an absolutely lovely man who was both helpful and generous. The so called 'London' locals were also friendly and we had a good giggle with them.

I can't speak highly enough of the pub, the food and the owner and, had we not still another 4 miles to walk we would probably still be there now. :0)
