About Us
This 16th-century Inn was thought to be the home of local blacksmith Joseph Dove, who plied his trade across the road on the site of "The Old Smithy." While the exact date The Three Horseshoes became a hostelry is unclear, it was only fitting for the Inn to adopt its name in tribute to Mr. Dove.
​
Since then, the building has undergone extensive renovations and now boasts a traditional bar, lounge, and restaurant, along with three comfortable letting rooms for the tired, hungry, and thirsty traveller.
​
Previously owned and managed by business partners Bryan and David for 14.5 years, the pub is now in the capable hands of Dan and Becci, who manage it on Bryans behalf. With Bryan enjoying semi retirement, Dan and Becci are proud to continue his legacy — delivering the same warm hospitality and high standards The 3 Horseshoes is known for.
Their shared goal is to provide a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where all patrons can enjoy great beer from Admiral Taverns' extensive range, delicious food sourced from trusted local suppliers, and, most importantly, a warm and friendly welcome.​
​
Situated in the National Forest, close to the brewing town of Burton Upon Trent and the thought-provoking National Arboretum, guests come from near and far. They are always welcomed by our local revellers.
​
The kitchen continues to offer a varied and high-quality menu, with dishes to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.
