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
Reviewers return most for the Sunday carvery, praising plenty of meat, a choice of four meats, piping hot potatoes and vegetables, and a gluten-free roast for one diner. One reviewer enjoyed a banana split for dessert. Close behind is the live music in the lounge, where diners describe original local bands, a small dance area in front of the stage, an open mic night that went very well, and punk bands that drew one reviewer from Somerset. The venue is called friendly and welcoming, with staff described as lovely and helpful, and young servers who made sure one table had everything. Families mention the little park outside that the kids loved, and one reviewer notes plenty of parking at this estate pub. One reviewer suggests booking ahead for the roast because it gets very busy, and notes takeaway tubs must be collected, as they don't deliver. One reviewer found the band decent but rated the staff and venue higher. Another sums up the pub simply as a bar, a lounge and a selection of drinks. Reviewers who ate on Sunday say the staff really look after you.

“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”
