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

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.

On pour second visit to the Horse and Farrier we were not disappointed loved the menu , we like to atmosphere its friendly its an acient place but its clean and the food is great comes hot on hot plates so your food doesnt go cold whilst you are talking.! The menu has something for all, its a pet friendly place and although we didnt take our dogs we could see that the H&F caters for them very well. All in all well worth a visit and we shall be going back.!
