"It wasn’t busy inside when we were there however there was a choice to sit outside in the sun or inside in the lovely air conditioning. Mains were ok but nothing special and some felt portions were a little mean. Plagued by flies throughout the meal and stuck onto an uncomfortable table where there was barely any room to actually squeeze between the wall and the table. For the money paid this wasn’t a great experience. A bit disappointed to be fair."

Lovely place to eat. Very clean and tidy. We had roast lamb and roast beef with cauliflower cheese on the side for dinner and it was delicious.

Used to come here regularly. It’s always been a lovely pub and still is. Shocked at how small the portions were and quite overpriced I feel. Sadly we probably won’t return.

Lentil/ courgette and halloumi main ok ,, bit bland. Triple cooked chips really good if there was more. Sticky toffee pudding was spot on but the espresso was dire i looks but tasted ok-ish. Not particularly smiley/friendly staff .

Somewhat disappointed at service as had to wait longer than necessary to be approached by someone in view of the number of staff to customer ratio. Staff very friendly nonetheless. Food was quite reasonable. Would still frequent it.

Really nice food, decent portion sizes. I had fish and chips, the fish was skinless and beautifully battered and I got 2 big pieces, the minty crushed garden peas were really good as well. Lovely decor inside, they have a lovely garden as well. View menu

We last visited the Three Horseshoes over 20 years ago, and having returned to the area, returned this bank holiday Sunday. The staff were very welcoming and efficient throughout our stay. Whether you eat inside or out, the ambience is relaxed, and the food was exceptional. Thank you, we won't be leaving it so long next time!

Came to see a band playing on the garden. Band Hot Tub Steps) were excellent. It's just a shame there were not more people watching. We ate at the 3 horseshoes, and the food was fabulous. Potted prawns, scallops, and the buttermilk chicken Milanese are all highly recommended. Really nice pub with a very good outdoor seating area. Definitely recommend it, and we will be coming back.

"I recently moved from Stanstead Abbotts, a beautiful little village in the valley of the river Lea. At the end of the high street is this quaint little Thai restaurant that I used to walk by and always said to myself Before I leave this village, I will book a table and have a meal So said so done. On the afternoon of my move, I asked if they had a table available (on the spot) which they did not hesitate to give me. The restaurant has 2 sections, the front is the largest. I was given a table at the back, as I 'm assuming the other tables were reserved. The menu is vast, bright and colourful, with a touch of personal personality and the price points were within my budget, plus I was giving myself a treat. I ordered 4 dishes: 1. Pad Thai chicken Ginger dish, which I thought came with noodles, but didn 't 2. Crispy sweet and sour beef 3. Thai Green curry 4. Coconut rice This was accompanied by a medium size glass of Lemonade with a slice of Lemon for garnish. The Presentation was nicely served on white plates which made the colours of the food stand out. I had two waitresses, MiMi looked after me the most and frequently asked if all was well as I ate. I was quite hungry, so she said no rush. The decore in the back of the restaurant was embellished with potted plants, hanging from the ceiling with, faux red leather benched seating and whitewashed brick walls. Where I sat (at the back) felt slightly cut off from the main hub of the restaurant, which did affect my overall experience, albeit I was grateful to be given a table, at such short notice, so I reframed that circumstance. I could hear chatter in the busy kitchen, as takeaway orders, were going out, as well as seated reservations. BACK TO THE FOOD: All dishes were served hot and well presented. My Thai curry was in a bowl, that almost tipped over, not sure if that was my haste or the design of the bowl. This tasted exquisite. The flavours bounced around my pallet and the chicken was so succulent and morrish with a touch of heat! As I stated earlier, from the illustration on the menu I ordered Pad Thai, which I assumed was a noodle dish, yet when it arrived it was just chicken and ginger in a sauce. There must have been a miscommunication when I was making my order...Never mind, I had enough in front of me and wondered if my eyes were too big for my belly ! The crispy beef was OK, a little chewy! and the coconut rice was a delight. All in all, I was full and the meal satisfied my hunger. In reflection, if I was to order all over again, I would have ordered x2 THAI GREEN CURRY and I would have been happy, The bill was brought to my table promptly, after I asked for it in a nice golden ornate-looking bowl, accompanied by two pearl mints (nice touch) Now for the hard part.. The Bill I was pleasantly surprised to pay £38.35, that afternoon, excluding a service charge (not sure if that was because I was eating alone or what) If I were to give my whole experience of dining at Khunnai Thai Cuisine a mark out of Ten, I would grade it 7/10. Room for improvement: The decore in the back part of the restaurant, maybe some soft Thai music, Change the colour of the deep red Faux leather seating to something more tropical looking, Maybe an extension for outside dining, at the back (during summer) and a little less NaCl. Comments are given all in goodwill. Thank you for a tasty meal. I would definitely eat at Kuhnnai Thai Cuisine and bring my friends or family along...Next time I will book a table for the front of the restaurant, which appeared to be a more open-plan layout with a buzzing atmosphere."
