Highly recommend this pub we had a lovely Sunday Lunch. The staff were first class and we received a lovely friendly welcome, we will definitely be returning. A great country pub with great vibes.
All went to plan. My friends were delighted by the venue and the food.
Food and beer very good now getting a little expensive for a lunch.
3rd visit here. Great experience each time. Lovely place to eat after a fine walk around Threlkeld. Good menu, tasty food - well prepared and good, friendly service. What’s not to like!
Promptly seated,drinks ordered...we were given a good amount of time to settle in... Two turkey dinners later: absolutely stuffed!! Beautiful meal, lovely atmosphere, friendly co-diners... Would definitely recommend.. Many thanks
Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.
I was on holiday in Keswick last year and came across The Horse & Farrier. The food was lovely, so this year whilst visiting Keswick we booked for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately it has to be the worst Sunday lunch I've ever had. The roast potatoes had clearly been made in advance and over reheated, the ham & pork were both tasteless as was the gravy and to make matters worse it was served with false mashed potatoe eg smash! At £18.95 I expected better. Its a lovely pub with friendly but unfortunately the Sunday lunch was vile.
Great food, attentive staff, nice quiet table, and no background music! Not had a bad experience there yet. Thanks H&F
We were a party of six & everyone said they enjoyed the food & the whole evening very much. One member had salmon & said it was the best salmon they had had so far this year.
We really enjoyed our recent visit. The pub was relaxed and friendly, the food was really tasty, and a great place for a hearty lunch after or instead of a walk! Would definitely go again.
Excellent all round experience, food, drink, service, location excellent. Thanks
Staff were lovely and very quick with the service and polite. The food was delicious, I had salmon and noodles my husband had steak both great. Definitely recommend
Nice food, attentive staff, nice atmosphere. Overall, very nice experience.
Sunday roast is 10/10 - delicious & plentiful. Best to book a table in advance to avoid disappointment. Staff are friendly, helpful & extremely efficient. Highly recommend
Excellent food & very helpful and friendly staff, we will definitely be back 😄
As ever, a great visit with excellent company, food and service.
Excellent food, huge portions! Friendly and attentive staff. The strawberry G & T was a work of art. A special mention of the waiter Yash, with his quirky sense of humour and personality. We really enjoyed chatting with him, a super young lad 😁
Our meal was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were great. We shared the pate and squid to start with and you got plenty of each. I had the swordfish for main, which was cooked perfectly and my husband had the venison on special, which was so tender and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely eat here again.
Lovely food as always. Lamb was cooked to perfection as always.
Lovely Sunday lunch as always and friendly staff, would highly recommend a visit!
Made to feel welcome. Happily accommodated our 3 dogs. Food was lovely. Will definitely book again.
Fabulous "walker's lunch" (soup & a sandwich) with some fries. Fresh, tasty ingredients. Also dog friendly with a sausage snack available for my girl.
Good experience Friendly staff Food brill Great, all good, fab
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great food . Really good
A great venue to meet up with and to share some special time with good friends; to eat some very good food and to drink an excellent glass of wine; and all that in an attractive venue nestling in the shadows of some of Lakeland’s awesome scenery.
Haven’t visited for a little while and my friends had never been ?!?!? No idea how they missed out. It was as lovely as it has always been. Cosy, busy, friendly with great service and superb food. Won’t leave it so long until next time!!
Another great visit. Staff were excellent. Menu was extensive and the food was excellent.
It was disappointing that after booking a table for 3, then confirming my booking for 3, the table allocated was set for 2!
A Great location. Sufficient menu choice.Staff friendly. Warm. Good parking.
Excellent food and great service! Will be back and would definitely recommend.
Delicious food, great varied menu and good service, thank you
Thank you for taking notice of my request, excellent lunch.
Lovely cosy pub - we both had Cumberland sausage with mash and delicious vegetables - very tasty
I live in Threlkeld and often pop in for a coffee and a bowl of soup. Whether it's a full meal with my family or a lighter lunch, the welcome and food are always very good. Good menu and specials menu. The atmosphere is welcoming, calm and relaxing; service is friendly and quick. Our family dog is always welcome, and catered for (water and Scooby snacks available!) It can get very busy with visitors in summer so you may need to book ahead. Just a little pricey, but so well worth going.
2nd visit - lovely meal - warm and welcoming And service- highly recommended-
Whenever we visit the Lakes we always try and visit this lovely pub after a long walk! Had great food as always, friendly service! Highly recommend this pub!
My wife and I had a fantastic dinner last night as per usual and the staff are always very welcoming and will do anything to help.
Lovely setting , friendly staff however the food took to long to come out and my two boys were disappointed as they couldn’t order a pudding due time , I feel we should of been told about the lengthy time wait and if we wanted ti order desert to do so before the kitchen closes ,
Great hearty food, great atmosphere, great service. Had the lamb shank, it fell off the bone, delicious!
Except food and service considering how busy it was food was piping hot
Excellent service Fabulous food Lots of choice on the menu Dog friendly
Overall ok nothing special food could have been better. Would not want to pay this for an average meal.
One of our party was unwell following eating the Fish Pie
Lovely food as always, good selection and great service 😁
Excellent service and food. So much food we needed bigger plates.
Nice location, friendly and helpful staff serving good value good and a decent range of well kept cask beers.
Unfortunately not great as staff were constantly sneezing and my food order was not correct, therefore eating while others had nearly finished. The food itself was good.
It was lovely, food atmosphere everything was grand Thank yiu
Fantastic food Thats great value for money and friendly staff
Food was really nice. Lovely country pub. Bit disappointed not to get our cosy table by the fire as requested but the 2 of sat on a table for 4 by the door. Assumed the cosy tables were reserved but no one came to them while we were there. Attention to request would have been appreciated. However otherwise would recommend
Excellent food and lovely staff what more would you want
