The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

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!

Good Sunday lunch plenty to eat , and service was good

We had a great meal, tables well spaced out and very helpful staff. Will definitely return.

This was our first visit, the place has a nice cosy atmosphere with friendly staff and good food. Only issue was the lights kept flickering on and off which is an issue for anyone that suffers from migraines or similar. The table next to us asked the waiter who said ‘they all do that’ but did unscrew a bulb next to the table to stop it flickering. If these were fixed it would have been excellent.

Pretty poor service and hardly the best food we’ve ever had.

Issues in the kitchen so limited menu. Also pub quiet with loads of tables,but we were stuck on the farthest table away from civilisation 🤔

Visited the Horse and Farrier many times but this visit left us disappointed . Previously the food impressed and was good value but this time was basic with frozen fries and not well presented. Will be looking elsewhere in the future .

A friendly cosy pub. Food quality is good, though we would have appreciated a better range of vegetarian options. Also proper pies should have pastry all round, not a stew with a pastry lid!

Had been previously and had the turkey sunday lunch which all of our party enjoyed. Returned yesterday and must admit we were both dissapointed with ours meals i had scampi and my partner had the steak pie. Both came with frozen chips i had a side of peas, slice of lemon and tartar sauce my partner had a side of mixed greens i feel for the price the meals are not value for money and a much nicer meal can be had elsewhere. Would return for sunday lunch but not a bar meal.

Lovely pub, great staff, good service, fantastic food. The clientele tend to be friendly too… especially the dogs!

Very good service and very good food would recommend 👍

Great with the dog, great food, great vibes. Server was friendly

Meal was good and cooked well. Only issue with service due to delays and mix ups with cutlery.

Really fabulous evening. The food, atmosphere and service made it a really special evening. Many thanks

Had to chase up and ask for the drinks to be served to the table. Food was fine but we were staggered that the chunky chips that we ordered as a side, cost £5.50. They weren't proper chips. Staff were all friendly. It was just pretty expensive.

Fast friendly service, staff very attentive 5star brilliant country pub

As good as ever at Horse and Farrier for family 4

Great food, lovely dining area and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Fantastic food, friendly staff and a good atmosphere . Highly recommend.

Lovely Sunday dinner .. although price has increased quite dramatically! Will have to be more of a treat now than a regular outing.

Good food and atmosphere, service at the table excellent. We really enjoyed our visit.

Lovely food and attentive service. We will be back soon

The only negative aspect of the meals was that the profiteroles were under whelming in that the dark chocolate sauce that the menu promised was not a sauce at all. It may once have been but it was both cold and solid. Should have been warm, melted and runny.

Sunday lunch great food and excellent service we will return

Nice friendly local pub - thanks for a lovely lunch

Very good food and service. Pleasant staff. Always a pleasure.

On a cold evening the pub was nice and warm. Service was friendly and efficient. The choice and quality of the cask ale was excellent.

My main course was great but my wife's chicken dish wasn't!

As usual great experience Service excellent Lovely dining location Food was great

Excellent food and service in lovely location. Top pub !

Nice amboence and staff but veg too undercooked for us and more stuffing than chicken in the Ballotine

Lovely staff, excellent service very friendly and quick service, looking forward to going back
