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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ,

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
