We booked the three horse shoes about 2 years ago due to location, inside decor and beautiful surroundings little did we know there was so much more to this venue than it been so beautiful the staff have been amazing from organising rooms for guests answering any questions we have, the quality of service is something else! ever member of staff was happy help & spend the day smiling & enjoying the day with their colleges making it a fun happy environment 🥹 the service during meals was phenomenal and then there is the food that I have to say has to be one of them best meals we have had everyone of our guests said how amazing it was and the quality and quantity toke them by surprise as normally wedding food is not that great but they have all said they want to return just to try out the food on site in the pub 🥰 the wedding preparations was made so easy and relaxed for us nothing was to much to ask of them

I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for perfect place to have their special day I’m gutted it’s all over with and that’s down to everyone at the three horse shoes who helped in making our day truly something of a fairy tale for us 🥰🥹 thank you so much 🥹

Unbelievable service, could not recommend more

Firstly, it was ridiculously cheap for what was an exceptional wedding and service. We got the late availability package - £2999 for food, venue, ceremony set up and DJ, plus and extra £1K or so in add ons we chose, including additional guests and a massive drinks package.

The staff was insanely good. We felt so looked after by the Lisa, McCaila, and Kirsty, they walked us through the day perfectly and if a single thing went wrong, we definitely didn’t hear about it. They went above and beyond what could be expected, they were amazing. We even didn’t get a room dresser and just brought our own flowers and vases’, and they brought out additional vases for our bouquets which I didn’t see happen and made the room continue to look gorgeous.

The food was simply sensational. The pork belly is, to date, the best thing I’ve ever eaten, and I genuinely had no idea it was going to be that unbelievably good. Could not recommend it enough.

The waiters brought the food out in a swift, cohesive wave, getting everyone fed almost in one go. It felt very, very professional.

The location is beautiful, drinks and much cheaper than I could have imagined for a wedding venue. We’ve had a lot of wonder feedback on our wedding, but honestly we didn’t even plan it that much, the ladies at the threehorseshoes made it happen.

Perfect Wedding Venue For Our Perfect Day

We recently celebrated our wedding at this venue, and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived until the end of the evening, everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day.

The staff were exceptional throughout the entire process. They were professional, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. Their organisation and positive attitude made a huge difference, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble.

The venue itself was beautiful, and all of our guests commented on how stunning it looked and how well everything was managed. The food, service, and overall atmosphere were outstanding.

We also felt the venue offered excellent value for money. The quality of the service, attention to detail, and overall experience were worth every penny, and we truly felt we received exceptional value.

We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our day so memorable. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful location with an incredibly professional and caring team.

Our wedding day!

After viewing what felt like every venue in Cheshire, Shropshire, Lancashire and Staffordshire, we found Three Horseshoes Inn and we are so grateful we did! We chose to have our wedding here on 18th April 2026 and it truly was the most perfect day. As soon as we came to see the venue we fell in love, not just with the place but the people. Everyone we spoke to was so helpful and friendly, but McCaila and the events team are just something else. They are wonderful! McCaila was so welcoming and nothing was too much. On the day she ensured that I didnt need to leave the preparation suite, she would come up regularly for updates, reassuring me that everything was being set up and going smoothly. The staff waiting on our wedding were wonderful too, all the food was perfect and brought out so efficiently that no one was waiting too long even between courses and clearing plates.
The little outside area and gardens for the wedding were perfect for our guests and we were so lucky with the weather. We had garden games and bought blankets for the guests to use which went down a treat.
The views are incredible of the Roaches and make for perfect photos, especially if the weather is cooperative.
The bridal preparation suite was a huge selling point for us, it was the perfect space to get ready with my mum and bridesmaids!

Honestly, I cant get over how perfect our day was. When we first viewed Three Horseshoes we came away saying how homely it was and how welcoming everyone was, and I can honestly say, that didnt change for us, we felt so at home here and we will be making regular visits to stay and for food! - the food needs its own review but what I will say is I am obsessed with the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake! The day after our wedding we went for a morning in the spa which was just what we needed to relax. On checkout of our rooms I had mentioned how much I loved the cheesecake and so we were brought 2 slices out into the spa for us to enjoy before we left! Absolutely incredible service and just an all round wholesome experience. From the moment we booked the venue to us leaving after the wedding we were treated like we were the most important people and we always felt at ease.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You made a long awaited day, truly magical ✨️

This venue made our wedding one to remember

We couldn't have asked for a better venue to have for our wedding day. The food was perfect. Lovely scenery to capture great photos. Staff were so helpful throughout the entire booking. We received so much feedback from our guests that it was the best wedding people had ever been to everything throughout the day was so perfect and went exactly how we had hoped. We were greeted on arrival and staff made us feel special and looked after all day. They made a fuss of us and our guests and were right there when we needed anything.

I cannot thank this venue enough for making our day run so smoothly. I will never forget the day or the setting and those memories will stay with us forever.

Brilliant team and I would recommend to everyone.

Thank you so much and we cant wait to see you all again soon as we always come to the resteraunt area several times throughout each year

Lots of love

A day to remember forever 👰🏽‍♀️🤵🏾

From the initial walk round the venue to the main day, the team at the threehorse shoes have been outstanding . We met 3 weeks before the big day with how we wanted things to go and on the main day McCaila was there like an angel. She was fantastic we honestly can’t thank her enough and all the team. There was no worries as a bride for if things were sorted, we were able to completly enjoy our day. The food was outstanding every guest commented on how amazing the food was. I would not hesitate in highly recommending the threehorse shoes for your wedding , we wish we could do it all again . 🩷

Just perfect

We got married at three horseshoes on saturday and all I can say is that it was perfect. Everything was easy from first look around to booking and up to check out the morning after the wedding.
Everything ran smoothly we were reminded of times and what was to be expected. All staff were professional and friendly. Everything on the day went perfectly.
My only gripe is a personal preference to cut the cake and do first dance earlier. But despite this it still went perfectly.
The food at the meal was absolutely gorgeous abd everyone commented in the meal being so nice. We had 2 gluten free, a vegan and a vegetarian and all commented about how nice their food was too. The buffet there was plenty of food and breakfast the next morning was tasty too. Room was clean and was so prety well decorated.
The staff worked tirelessly all day. Thank you so much for making our special day just perfect and so enjoyable.

The most amazing day hosted by the best team✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — The Most Incredible Wedding Venue We Could Have Imagined.
Our experience at this wedding venue was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we first toured the property to the end of the night, every detail was handled with so much care, professionalism, and genuine warmth. It truly felt like the team was just as excited about our big day as we were.
The venue itself is stunning—beautifully maintained, thoughtfully designed, and filled with charm. Whether it was the ceremony space, the reception area, or the grounds for photos, every corner provided a picture-perfect backdrop. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything looked.
What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the staff. They were attentive, organised, and incredibly kind. We never had to worry about a single thing; they anticipated needs before we even realised them. The coordination by McCaila on the day of the wedding was seamless, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the moment.
The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was magical, and the entire day felt effortlessly smooth. We truly could not have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and heart, this is the one.
We are beyond grateful and will cherish our experience here forever. Highly, highly recommend! 💕
