Had a lovely meal in the Horse and Farrier. Couldn’t fault the food or the staff Only slight issue was they forgot about one meal! They soon rectified it. Portion size on the roast lamb and the gammon meals had a lot on. The fish and chips was a bit smaller.

Came here in may 2018 and it was lovely. Not so good this time. Confusion over one of the meals, another was cold and one was just very poor. Sad as it was because of my recommendation we went

Overall very good food and a nice atmosphere with an open fire. It was unfortunate for us that they sent out from the kitchen my chicken dish on mashed potato instead of risotto as described on the menu, so both dishes had to be returned for a few minutes whilst the meal was re-plated up. Spoilt the evening a little but the quality and presentation of the food was good.

Great atmosphere, great food and very friendly staff. There is a good choice on the menu and the portions are generous. A pub/ restaurant with a great deal of charm and character, very highly recommended.

Disappointed with quality of food. Two turkey dinners returned one virtually untouched and the other just picked at. Noone asked if everything ok whichit obviously wasn’t. We have eaten here a few times and foundit perfectly acceptable. We won’t be going again.

Beautiful 17th C Inn, warm and friendly greeting from all the staff - Proprietor also on hand leading from the front. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Cannot fault the experience in any way. Will definitely return here next time I'm in the area.

The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly. The only point I would like to make is I think there were fresh flowers (Lily’s) which my husband is allergic to and this had an affect on his breathing. This is just a thing you may need to know .

A nice place, reasonable service but fish chips, ordered by 3 members of our party wasn’t the best. The portion was huge but the batter was not cooked enough and was rather pale in colour. The chips were a bit on the soft side too.

Catherine B.6 years ago · 1 review

This used to be a great restaurant but now the food is awful, the service is awful and it was outrageously expensive for the rubbish that we were served. Of all the food we ordered, only the prawn cocktail was eaten. The mushroom stroganof was like slop and the unidentifiable orange stuff that was put onto the chocolate fudge cake rendered the cake inedible. I can only assume that someone else is running the place vs the last time we went, which was about 4 years ago.

What a great place the Horse and Farrier is! We went there because we are staying in Threlkeld but would definitely come from further out. Parking is easy, access is flat, which is important to me! The table are a mismatch of styles which really suits the place. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Sunday roasts are excellent, a Yorkshire served with every meat! There is also a diverse bar food menu. We will have to go back!

On holiday with the family and the food and service was top notch. Only gripe was it looked like a piece of lettuce my sister in law's prawn cocktail had had a bit of soil or dirt left on it. Felt it was good value for money. Would highy recommend.

WE took my mother for Sunday lunch and were very disappointed with the meal. There simply was not enough food and for £12 was very poor value for money. The food came served in soup plates with the food piled on top of each other. Also it would have been nice to have had the gravy served in a jug rather than on the plate. We let feeling very hungry.

The Staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. The food was good. Fish n Chips excellent as was the Scampi and the Gammon. Two minor faults - The buffalo mozerella and vine tomatoes starters didnt appear to contain vine tomatoes The ‘artisan’ bread that should Have accompanied the prawn cocktails didn’t appear to be such. All in all an enjoyable experience.
