A faultless meal. Lovely, friendly staff who served us promptly. Tables a good distance apart. Good menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Vegetables nicely cooked, absolutely fantastic roast beef and HUGE deserts. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Thank you.

Thank you for a lovely evening! We were a party of 5 friends who had not seen each other in quite some time. Everything was wonderful, especially the service from the gentleman in the vest who kept us giggling all night thanks to his great sense of humor.

Travelled for a birthday meal and it was certainly worth it. Even though it was busy the restaurant was calm relaxed and enjoyable. The food was amazing - Chicken Ballentine and the Beef Daube special. Excellent presentation and flavours. Will definitely be returning.

The Sunday lunch leg of lamb was inedible. After complaining there was a partial refund. Ive eaten at this pub for many years and the value for money, service and quality is in decline. This is sad because it was a fantastic place.

Had a lovely meal here with a friend last night, very friendly service from the team, food was delicious (I had Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie followed by an absolutely divine gooey Chocolate & Beetroot Fudge Cake!). Would definitely recommend. We booked in advance online too, it was busy for a Wednesday night.

We were on our holiday so therefore we had reserved the table to have lunch at the Horse and Farrier pub at Threlkeld in the Lake District. We enjoyed our lunch very much, and our dog even got a dog biscuit as well. We were so impressed with our lunch and we also had a lovely view of the fells from our dinner table as well. Thank you, to the waiters and waiteresses at the Hourse And Farrier pub. We will be back to have lunch on another day, when we are back on holiday for October 2025. Mr. and Mrs. G. Anderson.

We visit a lot and we always feel welcome and the staff are great. We booked for Sunday lunch and our starters were great. Pate for my wife and chipolatas for me. We had the beef and lamb roasts and everything was of a good standard apart from the meat. The lamb was fatty and extremely chewy and the beef was tough. We shouldn’t be expected to pay good money for below average food. I’m not a qualified chef or cook but if I can cook meet properly, it shouldn’t be a tough task for a chef/cook. This will not stop us coming as we are regular customers throughout the year. This is just a little constructive feedback to help improve this fine establishment.
