The best restaurants serving British food in Downend South Gloucestershire South West

Excellent and hospitable restaurant for Mezze

My first visit in December and was delighted to be given table service. Plenty of space when I went just after lunch.

I can’t recommend The Horseshoe enough! It’s a fantastic pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The real standout, though, is Rose, who works behind the bar. She’s an absolute gem—friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything. Rose has this incredible knack for making every customer feel special, remembering faces and orders like a pro. Her smile and positive energy really elevate the experience, and she’s always happy to have a quick chat while keeping things running smoothly. Whether you're popping in for a quiet pint, a catch-up with friends, or something livelier, Rose and the rest of the team at The Horseshoe will make sure you have a great time. Highly recommended!

Last Friday I had a meal with the family, our server, Ashlee, was very attentive and friendly despite looking quite young. Good food all round for decent price, we will be back!!
