We had a wonderful first visit to The Horse and Farrier. All staff were very welcoming and attentive. The waiters/waitresses were very good and knew the menu, if not they went off to ask. This was great for me as I am a Coeliac and require gluten free food. Your range of gluten free food was wonderful and gave me a great choice. The building was amazing with all the nooks and crannies. We enjoy the old features of the old building. We will certainly be returning the next time we stay at Whitbarrrow Village. Kind regards Stephanie Daubney

We both had fish and chops which is normally excellent. This time my fish was a bit overcooked and rubber. Very unusual. My husband's fish was fine

We had a lovely meal, all the staff were great and very pleasant. It was Burns night so we were hoping there would be haggis. We weren't disappointed! Everything was brilliant 😃

Really gorgeous pub with amazing food. We would have scored it higher but the experience was extremely rushed. We hadn’t even taken our coats off before we were asked what drink we wanted without being given a chance to look at the menu. Within seconds someone came to take our food order and we had not had chance to fully read the menu. The starters were out within a few minutes and literally as soon as I’d put my soup spoon down, our plates/dishes were taken away. Unbelievably the mains were brought out immediately after the starter. We all like efficient service but we felt the staff were watching over us which felt a little uncomfortable. If the service could be relaxed slightly then the overall experience would be amazing as the food is outstanding.

Excellent quality of all the food , and very attentive service We both enjoyed Sunday roast dinner , but the enormous portion sizes were surprising and somewhat intimidating to people who like to minimise waste and leave clean plates .Perhaps a reduction in portion size of 40 or 50 percent would ease apprehension , particularly for those with smaller appetites. Kind regards Keith.

Warm and friendly service. The food was very good and tasty. Hearty meals which was needed after a long day of walking in the hills. I would definitely recommend booking a meal here you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic pub with lovely atmosphere. We had a Sunday lunch and while it was lovely, there was too much pepper in the gravy for my liking. Hubby liked it as he likes pepper on his food but I don't, so would have preferred to be able to add your own to taste rather than added during cooking. That said we would go back, I just wouldn't order the Sunday lunch.

A lovely friendly welcome after a long journey in atrocious weather. Just what we needed- good Cumbrian welcome in archetypal inn. Food choice was wide and we enjoyed our lunch very much. Need a bigger car park though!
