The Horseshoe Inn is situated in the centre of the pretty village of Ebbesbourne Wake in the heart of the beautiful Chalke Valley which runs between the historical city of Salisbury and the charming town of Shaftesbury.
Food is hearty and mainly homemade utilising fresh locally grown, caught and reared produce wherever possible, combined with the best quality ingredients.
Served straight from the barrel. Otter Bitter, Palmers Copper and Bowman’s Swift One are the main stays, regularly joined by one or two guest ales. Also available is the award winning Wessex Farm Cider, made in the hamlet of Fifield Bavant just 2 miles away.
There is a large pretty garden with flower borders and fish pond together with many bench tables to enjoy during fine weather.
Dogs are welcome at our discretion but during busy times it may not be possible to allow them inside.

Popped in for a pint before we made our way back home to Cheshire last Saturday after visiting South Wiltshire for the first time. It had been a wet week with drier intervals, Saturday being one of such. On arrival at the village we were confronted with a sign imploring us to “drive slowly through the flood”. A huge 4x4 went through leaving us wondering if our Fiesta would make it. It Did. ( it was only once through the flood that we realised that the water was actually the River Ebble that had overflowed and was using the road as an overflow). Park in the village hall car park as the pub has very little parking and on street parking is very limited. Beer in EXELLENT condition and the farming? implements that adorn every nook and cranny make this wonderful old pub almost a museum. A proper family run pub of quite a pedigree.
Went there for Christmas partie with work. The set menu was amazing and plenty of it.The service from the staff for excellent well worth a visit I think any time of year. Thank you see you on the next visit.
Authentic, warm familiar atmosphere and delicious homemade food, true dive into the past. So far the best traditional Pub I found in the English countryside!
Just got home from having a fabulous Sunday roast. Met friends here after their friends recommended it. We were warned that the Landlord was a character who doesn’t take any nonsense which made for great entertainment- but he was on best behaviour today and we had some good banter with both him and his daughter. Well worth the journey out. A traditional pub with a warm welcome and cosy atmosphere. Food was excellent and generous portions. Plenty of veggies and gravy and all the staff regularly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We made sure we left room for dessert all of which didn’t disappoint!!! Will defiantly be back. What a find.! Highly recommend.
Lovely old village pub serving excellent real ale straight from the barrel. Delicious home cooked food, reasonably priced and super friendly service. Will return when it gets warmer to enjoy the lovely garden. Well deserved Salisbury CAMRA Country Pub of the Year.
