Great choice and variety of food to chose from. Good atmosphere and loaction

Great local restaurant. Food was wonderful. Big portions and friendly staff.

It was an enjoyable experience, although the lighting keeps dimming in the room. The food was good quality and well presented BUT they could easily make more choices available for people with common food intolerance's like gluten free or dairy free as the options on the menu are very limited unlike other similar venues. For example not everybody with gluten intolerance wants a curry!

Staff were brilliant very welcoming and attentive. Food was outstanding and will be back in the summer!! Thank you.

Another delicious Sunday lunch at this friendly pub. Cannot fault either food or service

Great Sunday lunch for family of 5. Comfortable atmosphere. Service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Fabulous place to stay and have dinner for a weekend of hiking! Great service and a very warm with lovely food. Will be back!

Lovely pub with delicious food. I had mushroom stroganoff and my husband had steak

Characterful pub serving good food and with great service . Would definitely go again .

First time visit, but will definitely be returning. Great menu choice, lovely atmosphere, good service, right price point.

Very good menu, food and great friendly staff, any problem sorted straight away.

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere as well. Good value.

What a great find this place was. Booked Sunday lunch and the food surpassed my expectations. It was delicious, well presented and there was so much of it. I had the Turkey and my Daughter the Beef, so much meat. Great value for money.

Good points: staff were very good - considerate and helpful. Less good were slow service with taking drinks and food orders for which an apology was offered which was appreciated. Also the veg and chips served with the main course were warm rather than hot.

Food was excellent, and all the staff were very good

Great food Great service Great atmosphere As always and will definitely be back

Outstanding food. Great portions. Lovely atmosphere. Great drinks selection as well. Will be back

We always come to the pub for sunday lunch on our regular visits to the Lakes. . Our meal was egually tasty as we have come to expect ,however we felt the food could have been hotter which was a disappointment.We hope considedation will be given to our review before our next visit.

Food was lovely staff were very friendly and helpful highly recommend

We had a wonderful meal. Tasty and well presented. Service was friendly and welcoming. Really couldn't fault for quality of food, bright and cheerful atmosphere and friendly service. Thank you!

Lovely selection of meals, and the service spot on. Always call in when over in the Lake District

Lovely place, service was quick and the food lovely, definitely visit again.

Yet another thoroughly enjoyable meal. The Horse and Farrier manage to make their many visitors feel valued and at home while serving great food in a lovely pub.

loverly meal would have preferred a smaller portion staff great

Soup brilliant as usual but my main disappointing because the veg side was over cooked. Otherwise fine and the other main was spot on. Good to see well behaved dogs.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Top quality meat. Friendly and helpful staff.

Gorgeous food, sat outside in lovely weather with great view beneath blencathra

Food cooked to order as requested and happy to let us change table

Lovely meal staff very attentive and nice Surroundings old and quirky

Great meal good atmosphere and very pleasant and helpful staff. Had a wonderful Sunday lunch.

Wonderful old pub which is warm and welcoming with attentive and chatty staff. Squid and mushrooms as starters, piping hot and very well cooked and presented. Nice cold drinks from the bar - Wainwright Gold and Pinot Grigio - and quickly served. We both had lamb Henry for our mains: superbly cooked lamb fell off the bone and lots and lots of veggies. But, the portions were simply huge and we were embarrassed to send so much back. Nevertheless, a lovely meal provided by wonderful staff in a great location. Now for. Very long snooze! Thank you. Heartily recommended.

Really nice meal in a great pub. Enough said really!

Food was only alright and the service was overall poor

Food was good wholesome with quality & quantity in abundance

Excellent food lovely atmosphere will certainly visit here again 👍

Great food, enjoyed the Caprese and lamb Henry cooked to perfection. Attentive friendly staff, gave us the right amount of time between courses. Range of wines good, value for money. There’s a wonky wall light however that troubled one of our party who has an eye condition. It kept dimming then going bright, bit distractive. Waitress said electricians could not find a fault. Happening over another table too. Shame. All in all, a fabulous evening. Thank you. We’ll be back.

Fabulous food, great service. A most enjoyable experience. Was recommended by my sister as excellent and she was not wrong.

Lovely country pub with welcoming attentive staff. Rested our legs and refuelled with tasty food .

The food was exceptional my only regret was I couldn’t manage to eat it all. Maybe it would benefit if you did a smaller plate of roast dinner as an option as I hate to waste food.

Dour staff, flat atmosphere, average food, one meal extremely poor and left uneaten but staff didn’t ask why nor seemed to care. There’s far friendlier pubs around serving great food; don’t waste your time & money!

Great experience. We aren’t local we had a cabin booked nearby and booked the horse and farrier. It was amazing. A very romantic vibe for couples and good for families also.

Great food, great service booked in advance and table ready on arrival. Excellent as always thank you.

Service was very slow. Staff seemed to be just waiting around yet we waited ages for our drinks and had to eventually go up and ask. Food was nice and pub is lovely.

We have had a lovely lunch thank you just a tad on the expensive side . Lovely place lovely staff .

Good quality food, excellent portion sizes. Have been before and is reliably good.

Nice pub, meal rather spoilt but a n over hot veg curry served as the gluten free option. We had no problem sending it back and the staff came up with an alternative as it wasn’t the only complaint about the over seasoned curry that night.

Food and drink was very nice and included a few options for gluten free guests although I believe a number of the other option could have been made without gluten which would expand the range available without detriment to others. The meal was rather spoilt by being seated next to a young child who was clearly not capable of ‘sitting up nicely’ and was probable too tired anyway - not his fault but just disrupting for us.

Great menu. Daily specials always different. Good drinks selection. Loads of parking.

Good service and the food was nice. Dog friendly as well which is a plus.

Lovely food in a lovely setting and very dog friendly x
