I really can't say enough about this place and look forward to returning”

“What an incredible place! From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth of the staff and the owners who truly care about their guests. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome and leaves with a full belly and a big smile. The food is absolutely outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions that make sure you never leave hungry. Every dish tastes like it’s been made with love, and you can tell how much pride the team takes in what they do. It’s rare these days to find a restaurant where the owners are so hands-on, personally checking in to make sure everything is perfect. That level of care really sets this place apart. Highly recommend for anyone who loves amazing food, great service, and a true family atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back”

“A spur of the moment decision on a Sunday late Sunday afternoon. A Walk in without a reservation late on Sunday afternoon, the pub was relatively busy and there was a small queue of people waiting to be seated. Whilst guest were being seated, the lady behind the bar could see that we were waiting. She stopped what she was doing, she greeted us with a cherry hello, and confirmed if we had a reservation which we haven’t. She said it was no bother had a table available And it will only take two ticks to wipe down and set up. We both went for the Sunday lunch one roast beef one roast lamb the meals came to the table within 20 minutes and I have to say one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in years we finished off With one cheesecake and two spoons. The staff here at the Horton were most definitely on their a game when we visited on Sunday. Polite professional and welcoming. We will most definitely be returning to the Horton Arms.”

“I rarely ever review a place but credit where it's due. I have been going to this place since I've moved into Lees a few years ago and it is absolutely amazing. Taste is top quality. Highly recommend it.”

“Ordered a takeaway last night for the first time from here. Really good fast delivery and the food was excellent. Really good quality ingredients, the mushroom rice was a meal in itself. Having the remains for dinner today as we don’t want to wast it. Would highly recommend.”

“I came here today with my dog & it was like stepping back in time to my grandmas kitchen on a Saturday morning in the nicest way . The staff was so welcoming and warm especially with me having the dog . The atmosphere was just so wholesome it really felt like I was just in my grans kitchen . The decor is very very clean & the food was absolutely the best breakfast I’ve had . But hers sausage and bacon perfect orange yoky eggs with load of yoke , thick cut toast . Everything about it was beautiful so it looks like il be driving 40 mins for a breakfast every week .
