Neil Bellamy at The Three Horseshoes, Hazlemere.

What is your favourite drink?

Lager Budweiser, Carlsburg, Smirnoff Ice.

What is the atmosphere here on a busy night?

There is always a friendly atmosphere.

What first attracted you to the pub?

I live over the road and I come to see my friends. It is good when it is busy as everybody is friendly and everyone speaks to each other. You get to meet people in the area and it is also a good meeting place.

What is the food like?

Food is very good. A lot of it is home made by Jacqui, the landlady and chef. Ham, eggs and chips has to be my favourite. It is going to get even better though, as they will be putting on Sunday lunches soon, by bookings only.

Has the pub changed?

It hasn't changed an awful lot. But that is a part of the appeal.

Has anyone famous come into the pub?

Phil Vickery came in here to look at the football. He had a pint with a friend. He seemed like a nice guy.

What is the best time in the pub?

Friday evenings are the best times. It gets really busy as people are finishing work and everyone is happy. Christmas is brilliant as well.

Some areas of The Three Horseshoes are 300 years old. There used to be a take-away part called the Jug and Bottle, which was in effect an off-licence inside the pub.
