The Bay Horse at Winton is an absolute gem! Having visited many times on a Sunday, I can confidently say it never disappoints. The food is consistently amazing, with the Sunday lunch being served in a carvery style allowing you to enjoy a selection of perfectly cooked meats and all the trimmings. Each dish is prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. The staff are always warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. The pub itself is nestled in beautiful surroundings, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Bay Horse is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Driven past on the A685 dozens of times and was totally unaware of this little gem. Picked up on the positive reviews and dropped in without a booking on a Tuesday evening. It's a traditional village pub. A nice buzz about the place (for a Tuesday) and plenty of people eating. The menu was broad, covering all the bases without trying to be too clever. The lamb hotpot was superb and beautifully presented. Service was quick, professional and friendly. Top marks all round. Only slightly off the beaten track but well worth seeking out.

Driven past dozens of times and always meant to visit. Need to find some where to meet a friend for dinner half way between Penrith and Barnard castle. The Bay Horse was ideal. I booked a table by email which turned out to be wise at it was busy on a Tuesday evening. Food was great. Starters arrived quickly and very tasty. For main, I had belly pork which was amazing and my friend had steak and ale pie. Sadly too full for desert! Will definitely be back soon!

We arrived for our booking tonight (Friday) at 6pm to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We waited at the bar for nearly 10 minutes, to be seated for our meal. However, we were ignored by bar staff whilst a conveyor belt of locals were prioritised ahead of us despite us being there way before them. We were completely ignored. The staff and clientele were rude. Due to how we were treated, we got into our car and left. We drove a mile or two up the road where we had a great meal at The Mango Tree in the centre of Kirkby Stephen. Here we were greeted by smiling and welcoming staff. Avoid the Bay Horse at all costs.

After having heard good things about the Bay Horse, we decided to give it a ago.The service we couldn't fault, the staff were lovely and friendly and checked we were all good. We visited twice, the first time the main course was good, we have fish and chips and lasagne. The portion sizes were good and presented well. What was disappointing was the dessert selection, I am allergic to nuts and was excited to try the desserts, on asking if I could have certain ones, I was advised there were only 3 out of the dessert menu that were suitable, this was disappointing as the 3 desserts suitable were not ones I would routinely pick, such as a classic Chocolate Brownie or cheesecake. I did provide feedback to the pub for this and I never received a reply. We thought we were give it another shot as we believe is second chances, this time we went for a starter. We had the special mozzarella, which was lovely, really great flavour and the sweet chilli dip was amazing! We then ordered the burgers, we were excited and expected a really nice homemade burger, we were hugely disappointed. We were presented with a very well presented plate with a huge burger, the disappointment came when we tried the burger, it tasted like a burger van burger, with no flavouring and not like proper beef. We are not the kind of people to kick up a fuss in the restaurant and I would email about our meal, but as they didn't reply the first time, I have turned to a public review. We cannot fault the service but for the location it is in, we would have expected much better of the food.

Warm welcome and delicious food. My husband and I both enjoyed two really well cooked evening meals here. Husband had the tomahawk bacon chop, (which came on the bone) with a perfectly goey deep fried egg, haggis, black pudding and homemade chips, whilst I enjoyed the slow cooked pork belly which I can honestly say was the best belly pork I’ve ever had and every accompaniment it came with complimented the meat beautifully. It was simply delicious. Only slight gripe is that we don’t enjoy eating from wooden boards (which the bacon chop arrived on), but that’s maybe just us! Thank you Bay Horse - we’ll definitely be back!

Read some reviews on TripAdvisor in advance and decided to give it a try as we wanted an "off the beaten path evening out", well need less to say we got it, it was absolutely fantastic, did not disappoint. Food came promptly and large portions, I can honestly say it was the best fish and chips I've ever had bar non. The staff we polite, attentive, we couldn't have asked for more. Andy is worth his weight in gold, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Even the local patrons in the pub were all smiles and extremely friendly. If we're ever in that part of the world again we will definitely swing by for more.

This is a pleasant venue where you will receive a good welcome. There is a car park at the rear. We chose their (£16) home made steak pies which gained the silver medal at the Melton Mowbray pie competition. As they are cooked fresh there is a 30 minute wait. Every minute of the wait was worth it. Delicious, meaty, packed full and with perfect pastry. Great service from our waiter Andy. The Merlot was reasonable at its price (£19.50).

We've just returned from The Bay Horse having had a very positive experience of their Sunday lunch. Although there isn't a huge amount of choice, what they do, they do well. Two of us had the Roast Beef, I had the Hunters Chicken - served plenty of vegetables - the chicken with home made chunky chips and a side salad. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. We were told that the section where we sat used to be the stables. The old timber is still in situ as are some rails where the horses were tethered. Overall, a pretty village, an excellent village pub and an all round memorable visit. One last thing: do try their ice-cream which is home made by the owner. It's the best tasting ice-cream I've eaten for a long, long time,

Service was perfectly timed and friendly, everything on the menu was available, it looked fantastic when it all arrived and it tasted fantastic too. Less than 30 quid per person for a couple of shared starters and desserts and 4 main courses plus a couple of pints and a bottle of wine. Excellent value too. Definitely recommended!

We were pleasantly surprised by this village pub and it’s large premises and nicely appointed restaurant area. The welcome was friendly and initially the service was attentive and polite. The menu wasn’t particularly extensive but most of the dishes sounded interesting and a little different from the ‘norm’, though slightly more pricey than we’re used to our rural home area. The starters and mains we selected were all superbly cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The whole experience was definitely 5 star up until this point - however we were then sadly disappointed. For over 20 minutes we sat with dirty plates and empty glasses in front of us, whilst waitresses passed by repeatedly. None offered us more drinks, the opportunity for desserts or even the courtesy of removing the used crockery. Sadly The Bay Horse lost the chance to boost their alcohol & food sales as when we eventually managed to flag down a server we were so fed up we just ordered coffee. This took an absolute age to arrive, though at least it came with an apology for the delay. Even settling the bill proved difficult as staff were unavailable. All in all a superb meal down-graded to 4 stars by erratic service.

The fish and chips on Friday is great value at £10 and so much better than you’d get for a couple of pounds less in a fish and chip shop.The beer garden is south facing with lovely views and there’s a great selection of local beers - I’ve really enjoyed the Loweswater Gold. We’ve really grown fond of the place and it deserves to do really, really well

This was a spur of the moment visit on my last day of the holiday and wish I hadnt!!!It took nearly 10 mins to get served a drink and when I asked for a table for 1, I was only offered a table near the entrance and bar area. When I went through to the carvery there were a lot of empty tables in the lighter and more comfortable areas of the pub! I didn't have the dogs and I was dressed pretty decently..... or so I thought!! The mushroom soup was good but the unfortunately the roast beef was so tough I couldnt even cut it!! They did put it in a little dish for me to take home for the dogs! I did ask if I wanted a dessert but again was left waiting for a menu that I decided to call an end to the visit and drove into Kirkby Stephen for a coffee and a cake!! Not sure if I'd visit again!

Having read the reviews I drove to Winton from Preston under Scar to celebrate my Wife's birthday accompanied by our daughter. We know Kirkby Stephen very well but Winton and The Bay Horse were off our radar until now. Yes it is a long way to drive at just over 50 miles round trip, but with the scenery, the shopping in Kirkby and the wonderful discover that was the Bay Horse, there were complaints. The standard of food from a Thursday lunch perspective was fabulous, the service in terms of being met on arrival and speed of food to table was very good given that there was only one person front of house. There were only three sets of diners including us, however, despite the lack of people, the characterful design, decor and overall aesthetics of the place was warm and welcoming. You are going to pay a little more here than you would for standard "Pub grub," but as I pointed out, the Bay Horse is far from standard. An important thing to point out which we thought a great idea. You can choose a 'Regular' or 'Small' main course which given the waste you see on some plates in pubs and restaurants is a cracking idea. My wife and daughter ordered the small Fresh Scampi, I ordered the large and wished later on that I had picked the former. Cannot wait to book an evening meal there as friends have said the food is nothing short of outstanding. Maybe, following that experience I will give the extra star.

I tried the majority of the meals on the table as everyone was commenting on how lovely they were and I can agree nothing was average all was above and beyond quality.

We booked for our last night meal on stage two of the coast to coast, hoping this gastro pub would live up to recommendations we’d received. Well it did, crispy duck salad starter and the prawns were magnificent, even the simple tomato soup was great. Everyone enjoyed the mains with one our party declaring it was his favourite meal of the tour, so well done and worth a visit for sure

Had a lovely meal here - both my husband and I had turkey and ham pie with chips which was the best I’ve had - sat in beer garden with great views. At front of pub there’s a play area on village green.

We toured the UK for 3 weeks, eating mostly British fare, and our dinner here was by far the best meal we had on the whole trip. Everything, including the sides that came with the mains, were incredibly delicious. Friendly folks, a nice, relaxed, local pub atmosphere - everything was simply fabulous. Came on the recommendation of the lodging we were staying at and it was a delightful surprise. If you’re in the area, do not miss a chance to eat here.

A gastropub in a beautiful village in the old county of Westmoreland just across the border from North Yorkshire and about 14 miles from Muker at the top of Swaledale. The food was lovely and the people friendly and welcoming.

Had lunch in this lovely pub today. The decor is first class. Although not busy there was a pleasant atmosphere due to the attentive and friendly barmaid. The food was very good and nicely presented. Situated in a quiet village outside Kirkby Stephen. Plenty of parking and good outside seating areas. Strongly recommend.

I have lived locally for about 18 months but hadn't ever managed to make it to The Bay Horse until a few days ago. I came away thinking what a shame it was that I had not taken the plunge sooner and driven that extra few minutes long before now. The food was very impressive indeed. I had the best pork belly which I have ever had (and I am fussy). My companions had the delicious beef Wellington and the enormously impressive fish and chips. Good quality + good quantity = I will be back...

Tuvimos el placer de cenar aquí el domingo con mi familia. Reservamos con antelación y nos dieron una cálida bienvenida. La comida fue la mejor comida que he tenido, el esfuerzo se gasta claramente en ingredientes y sabores. El postre era igual de encantador.

7 de nosotros fuimos para nuestra comida mensual y todos disfrutamos. Iba a tomar el auténtico pastel de ale, pero tardé 20 minutos en prepararlo, así que fui para el pollo de los cazadores seguido de una deliciosa tarta de queso. El resto del grupo tenía varios pescados y papas fritas, una hamburguesa de puerco desmenuzada. Encantador pub tradicional en la parte delantera y un encantador comedor moderno en la parte posterior. El personal es amable y servicial.

Visitamos las primeras horas de la tarde, a mediados de la semana, y el pub estaba haciendo un excelente negocio, lo que fue un buen augurio. Ciertamente no nos decepcionamos ya que las tartas caseras y (para mí) la auténtica cerveza eran excelentes. El pub está en un entorno encantador junto al green y el personal con el que entramos en contacto no podría haber sido mejor. Sólo un corto trayecto en coche del centro de Kirkby Stephen, pero merece la pena.

Habíamos arruinado la reserva, toda nuestra culpa, pero de todas formas nos encontraron espacio a pesar de estar ocupados. El servicio era bueno, la cerveza era excelente y la comida, aunque no era especialmente refinada, era muy buena: sabores grandes, audaces y raciones enormes. El entrante de pato estaba crujiente y la salinidad de la carne se compensó con la dulzura del puré de guisantes, luego la masa de la carne Wellington fue perfecta, y un bocado en el exterior cedió a algo húmedo y suave donde se encontraba el paté. La merluza se veía muy bien también.

Cenamos aquí dos veces esta semana, lo que es un gran testimonio de lo bueno que es. Rara vez encuentras la combinación correcta de calidad y cantidad. Al ser 6 ’2” y 15 de piedra y caminar 15 millas por día arriba y abajo de las pesas que puedo comer. Así que habiéndome dejado ahora dos veces lleno hasta el borde de una comida deliciosa, estoy feliz. Reservamos 2ª vez, ya que estaba ocupado. Probamos las salchichas Cumberland, carne y pastel de cerveza, sacamos hamburguesa de cerdo y cordero en las dos noches, todo excelente. También recomendaría los postres de nuevo excelente y de buen tamaño. El servicio rápido y atento no podía recomendar lo suficiente. Si estás en Kirkby Stephen, está a 30 minutos a pie, pero vale la pena en comparación con otras opciones no tan buenas.

Called in on a windy February Saturday lunchtime, during a big bike ride. Friendly staff and atmosphere, very tasty brie and cranberry toasted sandwich, side serving of chips and a couple of coffees. Staff were happy that this was split between the two of us visiting, £16 all in.

I had the most perfect sausage and bacon roll this morning, my guilty pleasure when I‘m in town first thing It’s always freshly prepared by the loveliest staff. I confess I’ve never been at lunchtime, but I wish I had, the options look amazing .
