The Three Horseshoes, Brimpton

Click on the images for a larger version

The Three Horseshoes has sat right in the middle of Brimpton - a small village of just over 200 inhabitants - for over 150 years.

Generations of travellers and locals have enjoyed its hospitality over the years - and now its a regular haunt of some of the brainiest people in the UK.

No, the Three Horseshoes isn't a mecca for pub quiz teams - it's just down the road from Aldermaston, the headquarters of the country's Atomic Weapons Establishment.

The landlord, Mike Holmes, isn't short of a few brain cells himself either; spending over 20 years in the electronics industry before fulfilling the dream of running his own pub.

Alongside his wife, Margeret, they have run the Three Horseshoes with jovial efficiency since Arkell's bought the pub in 2001 - and have generated an enviable reputation for good, honest, home-cooked food since then, the delights of which customers can enjoy in the 32-seater restaurant that forms such a large part of the pub's ground floor.

Just a mile off the main A4, the Three Horse Shoes is well worth a visit - and you don't need to be a bright spark to know it.

Fancy a country stroll?

The Three Horseshoes is perfectly situated if you fancy a gentle amble across the beautiful Berkshire countryside. See the link below for a recommended walk that starts and finishes at the pub.
