📍 North Cove, Suffolk Open 6 days a week from 12.00 noon Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays. Food Served all day Situated on the A146 between the fishing port of Lowestoft (5 miles) and the Market Town of Beccles (3 miles), the Three Horseshoes offers a vast array of refreshments and good traditional home cooked food in a Family run Pub. And it’s not ju

st any pub, the Three Horseshoes is said to be one of the oldest remaining working pubs in the area dating back to 1497, and is seated in front of the splendid medieval parish church, St. With ample off-road parking and indoor and outdoor seating (including the new Beer Garden which is under development), this all year round country pub and restaurant is a great place to visit. The Three Horseshoes is just a short walk from the River Waveney which spans the Suffolk and Norfolk Broads. Although you cannot reach the pub directly by water, the X2 bus route stops very close by, and cycle route 30 runs right passed the entrance. There are also several footpaths that are close enough to make a detour for a quick half whilst out rambling or bird watching! North Cove is not short of local attractions either, so why not wind up your day out in our Family, Child and Dog Friendly pub? Relax in front of the Log Fire in the colder months, or take in the fresh air and views from our beautiful outdoor area.

Midweek warm-up ☀️

We’re back with the regular menu this week, plus a few new treats on the bar that deserve their own moment later. 🍻

And Sunday brings live music from Chris Brown, 4–6pm.

Food, drinks, music and this handsome chap keeping an eye on proceedings 🐗

After a slightly more eventful week than we had planned… we’re very ready for Sunday. 😂

Sarah Mai joins us tomorrow from 4–6pm, singing out in the garden while the sun does its bit. ☀️🎶

Food served all day, cold drinks at the bar, and hopefully considerably less plumbing drama.

Thank you to everyone who’s been patient with us this week. 🍻

PLEASE READ

Unfortunately we’ve sprung an underfloor leak and, due to the maintenance, are unable to serve food this evening 😔

All being well and good, we should be back up and running tomorrow 🤞

Apologies to all those who were booked in tonight, and thanks for your patience.

Cheers,
Paul and Tabbie

Do desserts count when you drink them?

Naughty & Nice Honeycomb Crunch chocolate stout and Banoffee Pie cider are both on the bar this week.

Entirely sensible choices. Obviously.

Midweek warm-up.

We’re heading into week two of the new menu, with light bites served alongside it at lunchtimes and food available all day.

The summer holidays are properly underway, the forecast is looking hot and sunny, and the garden is ready for long lunches, cold pints and absolutely no rushing anywhere.

A fresh menu arrives tomorrow. 🎉

We don't stand still for long, so it's time for another change.

Some dishes have stayed, others have made way for something new, but the idea remains the same: global flavours served in a proper country pub.

Old beams, bold flavours.

Iron Brew... but make it beer. 🍺🍦

We've got some wonderfully odd things lurking in the beer fridge, and this might just be one of our favourites.

Iron Brew Float from Vault City is a modern sour inspired by Scotland's iconic fizzy drink and vanilla ice cream.

Sweet, tangy, nostalgic... and definitely a conversation starter.

Perfect if you fancy trying something a little different this weekend.

Old beams. Bold flavours. Weird beer.

Live music this Sunday 🎶

Arianne White joins us from 4–6pm for an afternoon of classics, singalongs and guilty pleasures.

Pair it with a pint, something from the Asian street food menu and (hopefully) a bit more of this sunshine.

No tickets. No fuss. Just turn up and enjoy your Sunday.

See you there 🍻
