The Three Horseshoes, Warham, Norfolk

A Genuine, Traditional Village Pub

Welcome to a Bygone age

A genuine and traditional village pub, The Three Horseshoes can be traced back in history to 1725, since when it was an ale-house. For almost 300 years it has been a genuine and traditional village pub, serving the beautiful North Norfolk village of Warham

With gas lighting, stone floors, scrubbed wooden tables, and open fireplace, the Three Horseshoes is a lovely old place set in tranquil surroundings. A rambling clutch of old rooms feature sturdy furniture and an abundant collection of antiques and knick-knacks.

Outside, there is a beer garden and a covered courtyard. There are ample parking facilities.

The Three Horseshoes is renowned for unfussy, fairly priced food which is cooked with care. Beer is local and sparklingly fresh.

We can cater for parties, buffets and sit down dinners, even outside catering. Bed & Breakfast accommodation is available next door. » find out more about B&B at the Old Post Office Cottage

The Pub

Set into the ceiling of the pub is a curious green and red dial. This is the Norfolk Twister with which you can play village roulette, an ancient pub game and it dates back to 1830.
Try your hand at an original one-armed-bandit. There are two; one from the sixties which takes pennies and another circa 1936 accepts 5 pence coins.
The cosy, warm atmosphere is made complete by the surroundings of period photos, posters, clay pipes and local ephemera. Ticking away in a corner is a Grandfather Clock which was made in East Dereham in 1830.

Participation

Renowned for the best puddings in Norfolk, the Three Horseshoes has a loyal following. Leave plenty of room for meals, as portions are generous.

Soups and pies dominate the menu. Soused herrings might precede game and wine pie. Alternatively, choose from the blackboard menu by the bar. From here, creamy artichoke soup can be followed by a seafood and salmon pie bountiful with fish, fresh mussels, cockles and prawns. Equally praiseworthy are the vegetables, the own-made puds (date and syrup pudding, marvellous) and the no-chips policy.

We pride ourselves in being a Real Ale pub serving the best of local and national cask-conditioned ales. Owner, Iain Salmon ensures a superb selection of guest Real Ales is always available alongside our regular favourites, Woodfordes Norfolk Wherry and Greene King. They are all kept in first-rate condition. We usually have a number of ales serving from the Cask or Hand pump.
