Horseshoe, Ebbesbourne Wake

Brick built village pub with three small rooms. The front door leads into a small passageway running across you with a screened servery beyond. There is a door with a ledge in the servery for staff which would have doubled up as an off sales and there are (sliding in the past) windows on the left displaying sweets for sale. Within the servery is an old stillage with a row of casks of real ales and above are old shelves, with more above the front partition wall of the servery. A small room on the left has a doorway, some old dado panelling with bench seating attached. Dado on the servery side looks modern. There is a hatch with rising panels in open position but on the servery side it looks like a display case.

Right of the passage through an old latch door is the main room with a lapped wood counter and Formica top which dates from the 1950s and replaced a hatch, a large old fireplace with a 1950s brick interior, old dado panelling and lots of tools and implements on the walls and fireplace. The passageway leading to a further small room on the far right has the outline of a former bread oven in the brickwork (dating from when the premises acted as a bakery many year ago), formerly a private sitting room, has been brought into use in the 80s, and has some modern dado panelling and there is a small conservatory extension on the front far right. The pub still retains its outside gents (modernised) on the far end of the building. Closed Sunday evenings; closed Mondays in winter.
