ASK Italian - Marlborough - (Near Berkshire, South East)

Jon R Tucked away in the charming village of Mildenhall, just outside Marlborough, The Horseshoe delivers a roast beef experience that’s nothing short of sublime. From the moment we walked in, the warm welcome and fresh, stylish decor set the tone for a perfect afternoon. The roast beef was the star of the show—tender, richly flavoured, and cooked to perfection. The Yorkshire puddings were golden and crisp, the roast potatoes beautifully seasoned with a satisfying crunch, and the vegetables? Surprisingly exceptional. Often overlooked, these were vibrant, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. And the gravy—oh, the gravy! Deeply savoury and clearly homemade, it tied everything together with finesse. Service was attentive and cheerful, even on a busy Sunday. If you’re craving a proper British roast with heart and flair, The Horseshoe is a must. Hats off to the team for creating a place that feels both elevated and welcoming. We’ll absolutely be back. PS chicken was good too.

Simon Burchell Great food and lodgings. Bathroom was a bit poky, but at least it was en suite. Most staff were friendly and efficient. Very quiet in the room. I would say not great for anyone with mobility issues... many flights of steps to get to the rooms.

Nicola Ridley We had a gorgeous meal here- far exceeded any pub meal we have had in London for a long time. Could not recommend enough. We had the sea bass, pork with black pudding, creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding- all 10/10! That, plus attentive service & a very sweet setting.

David Humphrey My wife and I stayed her for two nights in October. The floor boards were creaky. The floor was not flat. The roof was low in places. The furniture was old and distressed. The stairs were steep. The rooms were quirky. But we loved it ! Great in room breakfast. More than enough. May stay again. Thanks.

Daniel Lane Smashing little cafe. Had a coffee before our walk around the stones and it did the job well. Had some nice ice creams on sale that were particularly tempting but just too cold for me on that chilly December day. Great service.

Simon C Monday night is £10 burger night. Good number of choices and other options available. Booking is recommended. Limited parking at rear and in front. Some parking over the road but cars drive very fast on the A4.
