The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

Holidaying from Scotland in the local area, we Decided to visit Horse and Farrier after a busy day in Keswick , we had popped in to see the place earlier that day and were given the advice to book as they can get busy. They are dog friendly and happily accepted our cocker spaniel and even had a biscuit for him! I Booked for 6pm table for two next to the fire, what a treat and we are so glad that we booked. The pub is traditional with friendly staff and superb food! My partner had the veggie Chilli which was a large portion with rice , salad and flat bread and was clearly home made and resulted in a clean plate! I had a soup to start which was again home made and delicious, for my main I had slow braised shoulder of local Herdswick lamb on mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, this was tremendous tasty and cooked to perfection! I could not fault anything about our meal or service. This type of pub is sadly lacking in Scotland and one of the reasons we like to come. Thanks guys for a memorable and delicious experience.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and attentive staff - a sumptuous Sunday afternoon lunch just perfect!!

Awesome food, bit of a wait for food but it was busy and we were informed of the wait when we arrived, very friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic food fantastic service lovely place ,will go back !

Extensive menu with a wide choice. Staff are helpful and polite. Food is cooked as requested and nicely presented. Booking is strongly recommended as this pub is very busy.

We were at the Horse and Farrier to celebrate my Mums 60th birthday. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was tasty and the only minor complaint (if you can call it a complaint!) was in relation to the chorizo and prawn starter which seemed quite small compared to the rest of the food we ordered. I would recommend to anyone as the food was tasty and the service was excellent!

Lovely food, friendly staff. Busy place for a Friday lunch time!

Everything was beautiful. From stepping out into the car park with the views to the service and friendly staff. The food was spot on also.

Delicious food but very busy so some dishes sold out and service a little slow

Very good all round. The food was excellent and the service was great. The pub was packed which I expected but that didn't spoil the atmosphere and the staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be visiting next time I'm in the lakes. Just to add that I stayed there for 3 nights and the accommodation was spot on as well.

Fantastic. Having been to the Horse and Farrier several times in the past I was very impressed with the improvements made. It has been extended to a very high standard but retained the character of the building. The food and service was excellent.
