Canal Pub on the Montgomery Canal

Guide To The Horseshoe Inn

Nestled in the picturesque countryside near Welshpool, The Horseshoe Inn, commonly known as "The Horseshoes," is a Grade II-listed establishment with a rich history that dates back to the early 17th century when it began as a coaching inn.

This historical gem, located along Brithdir Lane in Berriew, has been extensively expanded over the centuries while retaining its authentic character, featuring wooden floors throughout its interior spaces.

Interestingly, the property belonged to nearby Brithdir Hall until 1919, making it an important part of the area’s architectural and social heritage. Today, The Horseshoe Inn thrives under private ownership after previously being managed by a pub company, providing visitors with a welcoming atmosphere whether they come for quality ales—including Wye Valley HPA and rotating guest beers—or to enjoy fixed-price dining in the restaurant.

Beyond its charming interior, guests can relax in the spacious beer garden, which includes an enclosed play area for children. History enthusiasts will appreciate the opportunity to explore the old limekiln and Montgomery Canal, located just behind this quintessential Welsh country pub.

I have with my campervan on a couple of occasions where the overnight fee is free although you should eat in the pub. The food was excellent and priced reasonably. A friendly welcome was given by the bar staff.

My sister and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here.

The food was homemade and tasted delicious and the presentation was lovely too.

The Eton mess cheesecake was amazing and so light 😋

Prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food.

Staff were friendly and attentive.

Would happily dine here again 😀

The food here was amazing,

I had the ultimate burger and it was by far the best burger I’ve ever had.

The wife had the beef and ale pie and that was also really nice and came with proper chips.

Our son had the hunters chicken and was extremely happy with it.

Staff were happy and inviting.

Will definitely be returning
