The Horse and Farrier - Threlkeld

Good food and service in a cosy traditional setting. Some unusual specials as well as more expected mains and desserts. Pub full Sunday night and busy Thursday evening.

The service was great the food was really excellent. The venue was old and very homely whilst being clean and warm. We would certainly recommend the pub to our friends

Great pub food in a lovely atmosphere, with a nice pint of Jennnings to wash it down. A bit draughty near the door, but then it was a wild night outside!

Excellent all round,food, service and atmosphere. The lamb is to die for. Would recommend to any one. Forget Keswick would come here every single time

Food is fine. Service a bit hit and miss. Table squeezed between two others so more enforced proximity than we would normally like. Overall though no real complaints -just ok.

Great ambiance. It was warm and cosy after a good day out on the fells. The service was very good and the food was tasty

Good quality food and an excellent service. Lovely cosy atmosphere. I would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone. It is situated in a lovely village also.

Food and service excellent. Lovely atmosphere and location. Price of our Sunday lunch was on a par with other pubs in the Lake District and was a pleasant way to spend our Sunday afternoon.

En route to Keswick theatre we booked a table for lunch - a really straightforward procedure immediately confirmed. Parking is easy. This is a lovely cosy historic building with tables well spread out and with friendly staff. The food is delicious! Our friend chose a brie and bacon baguette which was overflowing with bacon and cheese and served with tasty accompaniments - the portion was such that you couldn't still be hungry after eating this! Chips here are always good and "home cooked." Steak and ale pie was delicious as was lasagne. We were too full for desert but coffee was declared very good by us all. We were originally recommended to visit here by friends and now we take other friends to enjoy with us.

Excellent Sunday lunch. A real plate full and tender beef. Friendly staff did have to ask for dessert menu though. Would definitely go again when in the area.

A warm welcome, a real log fire on a cold and very wet day. Our meal was excellent. really good quality and plenty of it. This is our second lunch time visit, it won't be our last. We look forward to trying an evening meal but will wait until the weather has improved as it is a 40mile round trip to get to you, but well worth the travel.

Good food and service. The Horse and Farrier is our first choice for a meal in the Keswick area, I hope to be back soon.

We arrived early but our table was ready for our party of 7 and 2 dogs. This is a lovely traditional pub serving excellent food nicely presented. The waitress told us that a couple of things weren't on the menu as it had been busy which was fine but the way she delivered this information was as follows 'we haven't got any lasagna and if you wanted sticky toffee pudding we haven't got any of that neither'. We also asked for a list of what cheese was available for the cheeseboard and this took a while to filter through. We do appreciate that it had been a busy day though and the meal was really lovely. Would go back again.

The ambience was lovely, the food was delicious, the attention to detail by the staff was impeccable, they even cured my husbands hiccups! A lovely evening all round and I would recommend the horse and farrier to anyone.

Nine of us there on Saturday for a family birthday. Fantastic meal, excellent service with great recommendations for both food and drinks. Made to feel very welcome. We will most def go back again.

Absolutely brilliant food! Great service and the staff were absolutely amazing! Would recommend to anyone to eat or have a few drinks here! Very warming atmosphere as well!

It was nothing special unlike other reviews I've read. I had curry which came with a microwaved nan bread. It had too much salad with it. The lasagne only had one layer of pasta and had several lumps of mince. Ordered side dish of onion rings, they were like the frozen ones we got in the 70s!!. Burger was average, not the worst and not the best. All the staff were really lovely though.

The food was good although the fillet steak did not need goats cheese and aubergine. Would have been better as a steak Rossini in our opinion. Kids food was fine, but stingy on the beans and peas. Service was excellent, very quick and efficient with a friendly staff on the whole. Although when my daughter asked if she could order desert for her and her brother she was firmly told that she could do after everyone had finished in a very stern way. We were actually fine with them ordering their pudding as the person still eating had very little left to eat. She made my daughter feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable which was not appreciated. It has been a few years since we ate here. It used to be a really special place to eat and it now feels like just another good pub. Don't get me wrong, it is very good but it has lost its shine for us sadly.

Greasy batter on a reasonably good fish; reheated roast potatoes with not great roast beef. OK, it was 7.30 on Sunday evening, but although we have been a few times before, I don't think we will be back.

As always with the H&F the food is divine, the welcome is warm and perfectly accommodating and the surrounds are cosy and comforting. One of many repeat visits here and they always deliver! We will be back again!!

After being recommended I visited this establishment and was very impressed with the service, the staff were very polite and helpful, and even had me laughing at times with good humor and friendship, and made the establishment a very relaxed place to be, the food was exellant and reasonably priced, the be local tap beer was very good and worth trying. Worth a visit anytime

Make sure you reserve you table in restaurant we were put in the snug which is allocated for dog walkers OK if you love dogs

Lovely food and exceptional friendly service. Men in group appreciate the real ales on tap! Coming every night of 7 day stay in village. Fantastic

Lovely food. Easy to book online. Old fashioned ambience associated with coaching in. Pleasant surroundings with excellent facilities for the family. Real ale on offer too

As always a delightful evening in convivial company with excellent food and warm hospitality.

Had a lovely meal here on Easter Saturday. The staff were great too-efficient and helpful,even going to the trouble of finding a pair of reading glasses for my husband and I after we BOTH managed to forget ours! Will definately be back next time we're in the area.

The Horse and Farrier is an attractive, cosy pub, with very friendly staff. The menu is comprehensive with interesting "specials", and the food is generous and well cooked. Always a very pleasant experience.

Warm & welcoming pub, with a good choice of well presented and enjoyable food. The temptation is to return regularly to enjoy all it has to offer

We went every night for the week we were renting a house in Threlkeld. Fantastic food and service. Imaginative menus which are well cooked. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dream place too for dog owners.

The staff and food was excellent. We came here over 2 years ago whilst visiting the Lakes and were delighted that the food & service was still very good.

Great atmosphere, great staff and enjoyable food 👍 been there many times as part of walking trips to meet old friends, always an enjoyable time.

Great atmosphere and food as always. Took friends who had never been before and they were very impressed. We will be returning next year for our annual visit.

As always good experience. Good quality food,friendly staff and efficient service.why we keep coming back to the horse and farrier when we visit the lakes

Lovely welcoming environment, always busy but never unfriendly. Well kept beer and good enough wine list. The food is quite outstanding from regular but delicious fish and chips to mouthwatering slow cooked lamb shoulder and chive mash. If you are in the vicinity of Keswick you must try it.

Wonderful food & service as usual! Definitely worth a visit! 😊 We go every time we are in the area & so do family who we have recommended it to.

We stayed in Threlkeld for a week and had a couple of meals here.. We thoroughly enjoyed it, friendly staff and excellent food. We booked ahead and it does tend to be busy
