The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

Welcoming friendly staff, efficient and caring service and great pub food, all on the side of Blencathra. What's not to love. The perfect place to chill one of my all time favourite pubs.

Very friendly staff. Good choice of good value food. Great relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, food was good and staff were very freindly. Would definitely recommend.

Very good food and service. Slight wait as very busy.

Booked in for a late Sunday lunch after our walk. It was exactly what was required.

Disappointing. The food lacked finesse - rather heavy on mash, roast potatoes and swede swimming in gravy, and a bowl of overcooked green vegetables. The toilets needed a bit of cleaning. When this was brought to the attention of staff we were told that they had had a busy day.

Great Sunday dinner, very fast service times (which was must appreciated after a long day hiking, swimming and paddleboarding).

A lovely pub in a beautiful location. The Aunday roast was excellent!

Had a roast lamb Dinner - very generous portions. Most enjoyable. Plenty of pudding choices. Paired it with a delicious gin

Fab Sunday lunch. Be prepared for lots of food! Lovely.

Food was very ordinary, Service was adequate, Have had better experience here in past. Better food and value e lsewhere

We come here every year when we visit Keswick. The food and service is always really good. We had a lovely gent last night dressed very smart who served us and was brilliant!

Place was very quiet when we arrived 5pm so not much atmosphere but within 60 mins the place was buzzing. Service was very quick food lovely and hot. We had an issue with one of deserts but it was rectified straight away. Verny nice meal will eat here again.

Very pleasant experience,lovely food and excellent service from the staff

It was very poor overall we would not go back again

The bruschetta was below par, the calimari was OK, but suspect it was out of a packet. The service was rushed and the waiter managed to knock over a pint of beer then knocked lemon slice onto my hubby’s trousers whilst trying to clean up . We were very disappointed after expecting much more. We also witnessed other diners being subject to very rushed service. Such a shame as it is a lovely pub. Won’t be back I am afraid.

Great food very accommodating although some drinks ordered and never got but it was very busy.

Good food, plenty of it. Great service. Perfect end to a perfect day.

My wife’s curry was not properly cooked so had to be sent back and was redone. No adjustment offered on bill which was disappointing.

Delicious Sunday roast with a beautiful location and really friendly service!

Great Sunday Roast service was prompt the food was excellent.

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.

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 …

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.
