We've visited several times now, most recently in June 2019. On a Sunday early evening in May 2009, there were just a couple of other customers in at 5pm. Music was playing, ranging from relatively quiet sort of Portishead-like when we arrived to louder and more bizarre later on. On another visit on a Friday early evening in November 2011, tables were at a premium (not helped by a large reserved area) but there was standing room at the bar, and a little hovering eventually gained us somewhere to sit. |
[[secretlondon]] visited on a Friday evening in May 2009. We'd booked the upstairs function room which was plain — but included the roof terrace which was nice. They had three real ales on; Brakspears, London Pride, and another. |

On a Thursday afternoon in June 2019, there were quite a few people in around 4pm, and in addition a lot of the empty tables had signs on saying they were booked from 6pm. Bland pop music was playing, not too loud, and there was a pleasant buzz of conversation, again not too loud. By 5pm it had got a lot louder and busier, and by 6pm there were no free tables either inside or outside. |
[[Kake]] visited shortly after, on a Sunday afternoon in May 2009. The real ales available were Brakspears Bitter, London Pride, and Davenport Bee-Zone (£1.60/half). Blackboards outside and behind the bar advertised other ales coming soon (Golden Hare, Everards Sundance, Hopback Crop Circle). When I arrived a little before 5pm there were just a couple of other customers in. Music was playing; when I arrived it was relatively quiet and sounded sort of Portishead-like. It got more bizarre, and louder, while I was there. |

In November 2011, the ales were Jennings Cumberland (£3.25/pint), Brakspear Bitter, and Brakspear Oxford Gold. In June 2019, they had three Brakspear ales: Oxford Gold, Jericho Pale, and Gravity. A pint of lime and soda was £1.80. |
As of May 2009, food is served noon-9pm Mon-Sat and noon-6pm Sun. As well as a standard pub food menu <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3583278474/ photo 1], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3582475231/ photo 2], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3582479283/ photo 3]</small>, they also have a Mongolian menu <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3583172530/sizes/l/ photo]</small>. |

They used to do Mongolian food (see [http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Horseshoe_Inn%2C_SE1_3QP&version=14 old version of this page] for an assessment), but as of early 2014 this is no more. They now do pub food and pizzas. |
According to an advert in the Oct/Nov 2008 edition of the London Drinker magazine, there's a quiz every Thursday. |

There's a bookable function room upstairs; it's quite plain but includes the roof terrace, which is nice. |
Accessibility: Small step (more of a ridge) to get in. Step-free to the bar, at least some of the seating area, and the ladies' toilets, but didn't check the gents'. |
