Ideal for lunch, even better for dinner - The Horseshoe Inn Restaurant, (known locally as The 'Shoe) is the destination for those who enjoy good quality food. Head Chef Richard Kennedy cooks with flair and passion.

Richard started with one of the biggest catering companies in the world after studying biochemistry at The University of Hertfordshire. 'Sodexho' introduced him to Anton Edelman and other top chefs. Then to The Pink Geranium and Sheene Mill when they had multiple rosettes before a spell in a Cambridge Michelin Star restaurant before taking on The Horseshoe Inn Restaurant as his own. He has been winning acclaim one customer at a time over the last five years. Today web sites such as 'localsecrets.com' and 'the bestof.co.uk/stneots' feature well over 1000 independent customer testimonials to his food and service. In fact, 'The 'Shoe' was voted St Neots No 1 best loved business in February past for the second time!

Richard accepts no compromise ensuring the very best will arrive at your table. Only fresh food locally sourced in East Anglia is used here. The meat is provided by Grasmere Farm, Thomas of Godmanchester, or approved local butchers and is certified born, raised, and butchered in the UK and prepared to the highest standards. Sunday lunch here is now famous and a favourite local venue where advance booking is a must. The Horseshoe Inn Restaurant is a destination for anyone looking for fine quality food at realistic prices and has been favourably compared with the best locally and even to well known London restaurants. In addition to the comprehensive 'a la carte' menu you can expect a wide range of 'specials' changing most days including home made pies and a range of Fresh Fish dishes on a Wednesday, and Chef made, various flavours 'British Bangers & Mash' on a Tuesday night.

A family orientated establishment The Horseshoe Inn offers a large garden with a contained children's play area and a spacious restaurant seating up to 100. A private Dining room that seats up to 30 is also available. This Dining Pub has two bars with real fires which are bound to make your visit a warming one. Four real ales are on tap for the beer enthusiast. At the time of writing Adnams Broadside, Potton's Shannon IPA, Doom Bar, and Oakhams 'JHB' confirm the pub's real ale credentials. A great wine list reflects Richard's enthusiasm both for the old and new world. So you don't live nearby but still want to enjoy a glass of something? Check out the 'Shoe's chauffered dining!
