About The Shire Horse Pub
On Willow Brook Rd in Corby, The Shire Horse Pub runs a Sunday carvery with a choice of several meats alongside mash and new potatoes, including a gluten-free option. The carvery can also be packed as a takeaway tub for self-collection, since delivery isn't offered. The lounge holds pool tables, a stage, and a dance area, hosting Friday karaoke, Saturday live music from local bands, an Open Mike Night, and quiz nights on Thursdays and Sunday afternoons. Sky Sports and BT Sport play across two large screens and four smaller ones. It's a walk-in pub, with no reservations needed for a seat, though the carvery gets busy. A small park sits outside for kids, and the pub is set on an estate with parking available.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday carvery draws the most repeat praise, with reviewers describing plenty of meat, piping hot potatoes and vegetables, a choice of four meats, and even a gluten-free option, alongside extras like a banana split for dessert. Several mention booking ahead since it gets very busy. Close behind is the live music scene, with local acts like Yodaclub and The Scenesters and touring punk bands filling the lounge with singing and dancing, plus a well-liked Open Mike Night. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, and one reviewer notes the outdoor park keeps kids entertained. One review is more muted, calling it simply a bar and lounge with a selection of drinks. No recurring complaints appear otherwise, with multiple reviewers describing being looked after well and one traveling all the way from Somerset for the atmosphere.

“Crazy that this is my local and yet I travel much further afield for a drink! I attended tonight because I saw a live band advertised. They were decent, but the staff and venue were great. I'll be returning and hopefully it'll turn into my regular”
