As well as tasty meals, the Three Horseshoes has a rich history of serving County Durham patrons, as it has stood in its current location for over 100 years. In times gone by, it served a thriving mining community but has transformed over the last few decades into a popular destination for food and real ale.

“What a find. Food was excellent, proper portions as well. Staff were excellent and very dog friendly.
“Staff could not do enough. Food was very reasonably priced. Locals were very friendly as well. Could not fault the place.”
