Alyce King Incredible Sunday Lunch ! You MUST book for Sunday lunch (as walk in spaces rare). Two sittings, arrivals 12-1230pm and 2-230pm I believe. Great use of space for tables. Wheelchair accessible in one part of the restaurant (near back door), but when busy cant get to the toilet. Staff couldnt have been any more welcoming and helpful. Great atmosphere, background music level just right (sat under a speaker). The main issue is parking; the car park is not big enough if the pub is full - eg at Sunday lunchtime. Especially difficult if you are a blue badge holder and need to park close by. Low level lighting so low vision may struggle on certain tables.

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.

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.

Olena “Excellent experience at The Palm Indian Restaurant. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious, full of authentic flavour, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Aileen and John also provided helpful advice on dishes, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended.”

Shivani Visited from London and was worth the trip. Friendly accommodating staff and quaint interior. The scones were by far the best alongside the soup of the day which was hearty and warm on a cold winters day. Cake slices looked yummy too but we were so full! WiFi was a bit sketchy and my jacket potato was a bit dry but overall a great experience

Cara Daydreameruk Seems the new owners are doing just as good a job as the last ones. A joy to order, fantastic communication and exemplary food too. Had a delicious coffee and a sandwich that was heaving with super fresh fillings. Perfection.
