Three Horseshoes Inn, Sidlow Bridge

I don't know what's happening at this pub. Someone's lost the plot. Food now seems to be the focus at the expense of ale quality . I've had three bad guest ales in my last three visits. Sour, and with sediment. Twice it seemed like they tried to serve beer which had been in the pipes for ages. Once it was from the bottom of the barrel trying to get as much out as possible and relying on the English Disease of customers not complaining. The best thing about the pub in recent months was an evening with the band that ILUVALE mentioned. Good 60s music and a great atmosphere. On two recent visits the usual group of locals sitting at the bar were rude and obstructive and seemed to resent the fact that outsiders were setting foot in their pub. Looks like they're the mafia who really run the place.

It's not the place I'll go for a great pint any longer. A real shame.
