    Had a lovely meal here with a friend last night, very friendly service from the team, food was delicious (I had Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie followed by an absolutely divine gooey Chocolate & Beetroot Fudge Cake!). Would definitely recommend. We booked in advance online too, it was busy for a Wednesday night.

    Every thing went smoothly. Table waiting for us. Food exceptional. Lamb Henry perfectly cooked as was the most superb liver. I have always found that the vegetables are cooked to exactly my liking. Well done H&F.

    We were on our holiday so therefore we had reserved the table to have lunch at the Horse and Farrier pub at Threlkeld in the Lake District. We enjoyed our lunch very much, and our dog even got a dog biscuit as well. We were so impressed with our lunch and we also had a lovely view of the fells from our dinner table as well. Thank you, to the waiters and waiteresses at the Hourse And Farrier pub. We will be back to have lunch on another day, when we are back on holiday for October 2025. Mr. and Mrs. G. Anderson.

    We loved the Horse and Farrier. Delicious lamb shank. The service was really quick and all the waiting staff were so friendly. Keith especially, showed his years of experience in hospitality. A gentleman. We will return.

    Our table wasn’t ready but after waiting about 10 minutes we were given a different table which was perfect for our needs. Our food was superb and the service was good. Keith’s jokes continue to entertain us. We will be back.

    We visit a lot and we always feel welcome and the staff are great. We booked for Sunday lunch and our starters were great. Pate for my wife and chipolatas for me. We had the beef and lamb roasts and everything was of a good standard apart from the meat. The lamb was fatty and extremely chewy and the beef was tough. We shouldn’t be expected to pay good money for below average food. I’m not a qualified chef or cook but if I can cook meet properly, it shouldn’t be a tough task for a chef/cook. This will not stop us coming as we are regular customers throughout the year. This is just a little constructive feedback to help improve this fine establishment.

    Food excellent. Venison casserole amazing, tender meat and very generous quantity. Met up with friends we hadn't seen for over ten years, and we had a nice table tucked away in a corner which made chat easier. Recommended.

    I booked a table at The Horse and Farrier based on online reviews, and it didn't disappoint. The food was good, particularly the spinach & ricotta ravioli, and the service excellent. All at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend.

    A very well run, organised and efficient pub with great, proper food. It was obvious that the chef had given a lot of thought to the menu. Service was impeccable throughout. We’d definitely eat there again.

    We eat here once a year when we visit Threlkeld for the Mikron Theatre performance. We usually have the vegetarian curry but this year it was a disaster and we both had to leave a substantial amount of the food. It was far to hot a meal, even for a curry. That is our only grumble.

    Lovely pub with good selection of beers, in the main the food is also good / very good but don’t bother with the starter tomato and burrata salad - £8:50 for a sliced tomato, a little bit of lettuce and three slices of burrata! It’s a pity because some of the other dishes are good value and well prepared
