The Five Horseshoes is a lovely 16th century pub with brass, wrought iron, beams, burning fires and traditional pub games with real ales and good wines. There is a large conservatory restaurant area, two snug bars, and a beer garden that provides breathtaking views over the surrounding Chilterns.

It is clear that the chef at Five Horseshoes is passionate about creating quality, homemade and traditional food using the freshest, local produce. Dishes such as chicken liver parfait, pave of smoked organic salmon, roast of Berkshire venison with baby vegetables and foie gras, and spinach and feta pies are served with flair.

You could relax over mint and raspberry mojitos and hog roast on holidays and weekends throughout the summer. The pub is in favoured walking country and so you could take advantage of the picnic hampers they offer and enjoy a day in the beautiful countryside that surrounds the pub.

It is not surprising that the Five Horseshoes is recommended in the 2008 Michelin Guide.
