Enjoyed lunch there today. I would say well above average pub grub .Have been to Horse and Farrier several times previously but I think today maintained our opinion that it is a good place to go to .

On holiday with the family and the food and service was top notch. Only gripe was it looked like a piece of lettuce my sister in law's prawn cocktail had had a bit of soil or dirt left on it. Felt it was good value for money. Would highy recommend.

WE took my mother for Sunday lunch and were very disappointed with the meal. There simply was not enough food and for £12 was very poor value for money. The food came served in soup plates with the food piled on top of each other. Also it would have been nice to have had the gravy served in a jug rather than on the plate. We let feeling very hungry.

The Staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. The food was good. Fish n Chips excellent as was the Scampi and the Gammon. Two minor faults - The buffalo mozerella and vine tomatoes starters didnt appear to contain vine tomatoes The ‘artisan’ bread that should Have accompanied the prawn cocktails didn’t appear to be such. All in all an enjoyable experience.

I have been the Horse and Farrier before with family and wanted to take my partner for his birthday and they did not disappoint!! The food is stunning and the staff are lovely and cannot do enough for you. Now that my partner has been, he’s said we’re not coming back to the lakes and not going to the Horse and Farrier - it’s becoming a tradition!!

For a good led establishment I had hoped for more. The menu was a tad boring. Nothing bad but certainly not great. Decor is lovely. Would U revisit ? Maybe but not in a hurry sadly. Service was adhoc and it was if we were an issue to their tasks in hand.

Unfortunately I was very ill in the night with stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhoea following our visit to the Horse and Farrier. Clearly, either kitchen hygiene was very poor, or some of the food or ingredients were off.
