See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

The ironstone Three Horseshoes has been extended over the years, although the original pub is said to date from 1757. The name is taken from the forge that was originally on the site and where Benjamin Franklin's Uncle Thomas was the last of the family to work the family forge. This now houses a brewery under the Benjamin Franklin name. The traditional multi-room layout has been retained, with two separate bars and games area with Northants skittles and darts. Outside the garden is decked and is south facing. Early doors happy hour on Wednesday to Friday 5.30-7.30pm sees cask beer at £3.20 a pint. For its size, it often has some good bands featured.
