The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

Fantastic service and amazing food. Will be back. Thank you

Great service, delicious food and great environment, thank very much.

A meal at the Horse & Farrier is always the final treat of our annual holiday in the Lake District.

Good pub grub served quickly by happy friendly staff, recommended.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and excellent staff. We’ll be back.

In general were satisfied with our experience but would mention presentation of food was overpowering inthat portions particularly Yorkshire pudding were somewhat for too much on the plate.

Booked table and although not ready at the time they worked hard to get us seated when very busy. Fantastic food. Huge portions. Staff friendly and service good. Very happy

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!

The setting of this place is beautiful at the bottom of Blencathra. The staff are very friendly & helpful, as for the food it is always delicious. I have been here few times now & it never disappoints.

Fabulous food, great service and an excellent place for lunch. Staff are so friendly and helpful.

Excellent value and service on the edge of the lakes

Arrived early for our meal but staff were quite happy to accomodate us. Service was timely and very friendly. Lunch menu option was good and varied, served hot, in generous portions and tasty. Busy and popular eating place, I would recommend booking in advance. Overall a pleasant experience.

Staff very good and food excellent , service very fast

Fantastic food and good atmosphere. Great staff. Thoroughly splendid evening!

Good food, quick and friendly service in a busy pub

Excellent Sunday lunch, good beer and the usual friendly and efficient service

Beautiful food! Young female waitress very welcoming and friendly!! Great service. Will definitely visit again.

A very pleasant dining experience in all respects, enjoyed by all

A very warm welcome and excellent service - staff were friendly and efficient even though it was very busy. The food was outstanding: absolutely delicious with brilliant sauces. Highly recommended.

All the food from starter to pudding was wonderful and staff were friendly and helpful as always.

Great food. Attentive service. Prompt and efficient delivery. Eclectic surroundings

Have visited quite few times and food is always very good as is the service.

Lovely, homely pub, ideal for a filling meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, it was nice and warm and the food was well presented, tasty and plenty of it. Children’s menu was decent and the staff were very understanding when we had to rearrange our booking time. We will be paying a visit next time we’re in the area.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Recommend booking ahead because it’s very popular.

Excellent food and drinks with generous portions . Friendly helpful staff. Timing of all 4 courses ( ! ) excellent …

Really good food- we all had 3 courses :) I had the duck which was on special and it was delicious. Staff were very friendly and its a relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. We will be back

Great service friendly staff Lovely food great portion sizes no room for dessert

The food and service were good but we we were near seated near a family with a couple of very noisy children which did spoil the overall experience.

Excellent place to eat, gets very busy even out of season. Everyone working there were really friendly and super busy. Really enjoyed our visit.

Great as always! Fab staff and lovely ambiance. Good food.

Always exceptionally good for a visit with friends, whether in the evening or for lunch. Lucky to have this restaurant with easy walking distance.

I didn't like the main as it was kind of bland. I liked the starter and dessert though.

Cosy and comfy seating. The service was friendly and quick. One incorrect meal arrived but was very speedily replaced, with apologies, for the correct order which was delicious. I recommend the chocolate torte! Music was exactly the right volume according to my mum!

Arrived to be told no gas in kitchen so limited menu choices, only 2 choices available on children's menu. Just said as matter of fact, no attempt to offer any alternatives. Served starters after long wait, mid way through told electric had gone off in kitchen & may not be able to serve mains. Waited another 20 minutes before finding out mains would be served. When served, waitress spilt curry on table over my glasses case, came back with cleaner spray & left on table for me to sort at which point I indicated this was for her to sort out. Food average, bill quite high - 3 starters, 3 kids meals, 2 mains, 5 soft drinks - £95, no gesture to take anything off bill or acknowledgement of issues when I went to pay. Won't be rushing back.

When reserving we did ask for room where there were no dogs. By the time we left there were 3 dogs in the room where we were

Lovely ploughmans lunch on Good Friday. Pub was very busy, lots of people enjoying the nice weather outside too. Would recommend

Delicious food and great service. We’d visit again if we were in the area.

Whilst the food we had was lovely. It was really disappointing that we were seated and drinks ordered prior to being told there was no gas and as such a limited menu. The Young Waiter was great but it seemed a shame it was all on him when we had already been greeted at the bar by other staff who really should have mentioned the reduced menu then. However food we got was still lovely.

Amazing food and great service - definitely recommend if in the area

Great food, just not enough parking facilities, but it is in a very small village, so to be expected really.

Such a lovely place! The service was outstanding on a busy day (Easter). The menu had a great variety in every course. The wine list is thorough. We had traditional Sunday roasts (two versions), and the side dishes with the proteins were absolutely wonderful. HUGE amounts of food at very reasonable prices. Plus, the atmosphere is beautiful. Just wish we'd had room for dessert. Thank you so much!

Outstanding food quality excellent staff friendly and helpful, a charming pub restaurant myriad of rooms/areas to accommodate eating /drinking, muddy walkers , pooches, families etc.. welcome will definitely return again 😊 as we always do exceptional produce

I could not have had a better 80th birthday meal with friends

Booked a window table with room for 2 large dogs & got exactly that. Fast efficient service

We were so impressed! The service was very fast and the food was amazing. We would highly recommend this pub!

We booked for 530 but arrived early. They were very helpful in bringing our table forward. Food was delicious and good value. Would highly recommend.

We normally visit the Horse and Farrier for Sunday Lunch, which is hands down the best Sunday lunch in the area. We have never eaten off of the normal menu, so tonight was a first. We all ordered a different dish and they all came out at the same time which was great. I had the Chicken ballotine and it was amazing. Really enjoyed it. We all enjoyed our meals and there was 5 empty plates which says it all. Desserts were great too. I just wish the drinks were a bit cheaper, however it is just a sign of the times as most places around are now similarly priced. The young lady who served us was really efficient and friendly. Sorry I cant remember her name. All the other staff were also really good. Thank you everyone, we will continue to recommend the Horse and farrier and will most certainly return.

Lovely old pub. Great food. Welcoming staff. We really enjoyed our evening.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, good service. Definitely worth a visit!
