The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

Excellent pub, delicious food, outstanding service, great atmosphere. To be recommended.

Our second visit to this lovely pub with delicious food and a very amusing waiter. We'll be back 😊

Great visit with a very mixed party. Fast service on all fronts, great food (although I would say that there was almost too much on the plates!) and such good quality! Lovely staff and all so helpful.

Travelled to Threlkeld to watch the amazing Tom Smith play at the village hall. Ordered the roast ham and half roast chicken for our meals. Large portion sizes, friendly staff. Nice strong coffee to finish.

Fantastic service and food, will definitely be visiting again when in the area. Thank you.

Good pub, tasty well presented food, good size portions. Nice location

My favourite place to eat in the Lakes. Just love this cosy pub/ restaurant. Delicious ( as always) homecooked roast dinners & had to have a scrumptious pudding of course! Great cutomer service from our waiters & Keith. Homely , always clean & although some new refurbishments still retains it's traditional atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again.

Food delicious. Staff friendly and attentive Have never had a bad meal here.

We have visited the H&F many times in the past and had good experiences. However, on this occasion the food was not good. The batter on the fish was soggy and the chips were not fully cooked. The bread accompanying the falafel burger was dry. I’m not sure we will be returning.

Perfectly acceptable food, service and atmosphere. Would visit again if in the area.

Lovely staff, lovely service, great food really enjoyed it. Definitely book again

Always great food and greatservice, staff lovely, will definitely be back

Excellent food and service by the staff. Highly recommended, we will visit again

Not as good as our past experience of this pub, was our favourite place to eat in Lakes but not what it was. Lemonade tasted chemically and beer didn’t seem looked after, fish and meat pie were good though. Shame probably won’t return 🙁

Amazing food with a great choice and also a specials menu. Staff friendly and welcoming

Love the pub. Always make a point of going there whenever we are in the Lakes. Lovely food. Great staff. Wonderful overall experience.

After reading the most recent dining reviews, I was seriously worried about my meal reservation, however I had no need to worry, the food was delicious, hot and plentiful, and the service polite and attentive.

Gorgeous traditional pub with a cosy vibe. Fantastic food & service

Service and food were excellent. Will definitely return. Thank you

Very good experience. We arrived very early for our table but were fitted in. Our roast lunches were plentiful and tasty. Service excellent.

Staff friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend a visit for food.

Good service and good food. It's surprising how busy they were on a Tuesday night. It just goes to prove how popular this place is.

Excellent food and service. All staff we're lovely & friendly

Food and service both excellent, although it’s a popular place so advanced booking is really a must to be sure of a table.

Gorgeous food. Very generous portions ( too big for me). Lovely staff

Efficient service,friendly Staff. Varied menu choice. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Always enjoy coming back to the Horse and Farrier when we visit the Lakes.

The beef roasts meat all came own well done (grey coloured) which spoiled the meal to be honest making the meat too chewy and unenjoyable

Beautiful food, great service from all the staff. Special shout out for Keith who lifted what was already a great experience. We’ll be back yet again very soon.

Sunday lunch for 2 didnt disappoint, food and service excellent

Good service. Efficient friendly Staff. Good food. Very amiable Boss Man Keith. Will visit again.

Despite a very busy weekend the staff remained efficient and friendly .

Food was excellent. It took a while to get comfortable after we were asked what we’d like from the bar, proceeded to order simple mixed drinks and were told “we’re not that kind of place?” Not the best way to make a guests feel truly welcome.

Good food, good service, good atmosphere, a good evening overall

Lovely food and atmpsophere - interested and attentive staff made for a lovely evening!

The Sunday Lunch was excellent and clean plates all round for the Beef and Lamb. 10/10

Outstanding Dining Experience at The Horse and Farrier – Threlkeld We had an absolutely fantastic meal at The Horse and Farrier in Threlkeld. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with stunning views and a cozy, traditional pub feel that instantly made us feel at home. The chicken & ham pie was a real standout—comfort food done to perfection. The pastry was golden and crisp, and the filling was rich, flavorful, and generously portioned. Easily one of the best pub pies we’ve had in a long time. To accompany the meal, we had a pint of Sharp Edge—a superb local beer that paired beautifully with the food. Full-bodied, refreshing, and well-kept. All the staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in their work. A special mention must go to Keith, who was front of house during our visit. He’s an absolute gem—genuinely friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. His attention to detail and warm demeanor added so much to the overall experience. Highly recommended whether you’re passing through or staying in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

We ate very good food but the service of drinks was very slow.

Thankyou for a lovely meal and service. Everything was great

Great, friendly service. Amazing pie (we had the chicken pie from the specials and it was one of the best we've ever had). Would definitely go back.

Been many times. Food and ambience great! Dogs are welcomed.

Overall we had a really great time. Booking online was very easy and when we arrived with two more guests you were flexible and offered us a larger table. Keith our waiter was very polite and friendly. The food came in good time, was delicious and portions were generous. We'll definitely recommend the pub to others.

Lovely food, lovely staff but a little pricey. Would recommend though.

Great food , tasty and value for money. Service dropped off at end of day.
