Horse and Farrier in Eden

Great place to stay, eat, drink. So welcoming (dog-friendly) and cosy. Because we have a dog, we stayed in the Salutation Inn, which is literally 1 minute’s walk away. The staff, food and drink were all wonderful. The room in the ‘Sally’ was small but cosy, warm and very accommodating, including tea/coffee facilities, dog bowls and treats. Will definitely stay again; and highly recommend.

Lovely traditional local pub in the village we were staying in for the weekend. An excellent service provided by Keith and the team. Would also highly recommend the Cumbrian Sausage!

We came here for Sunday Lunch on Mother's Day. Nice cosy traditional pub. Parking available. Food was really good but there could have done with more gravy.

We stopped in for lunch today and it was lovely. Really nice pub/restaurant with friendly staff. The menu had lots of choice including a kids section. The food was delicious and portions a good size. We all enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return when back in the area.

A warm welcome awaits you and you’ll be glad you booked as this is a popular pub every night. The food is home cooked with a good selection to chose from. There’s a great selection of drinks too. Well worth a visit

Ci siamo fermati per una notte e non potremmo essere più soddisfatti, lo staff è gentile e molto accogliente, ci hanno fatto sentire subito benvenuti. La camera era spaziosa, confortevole e molto pulita, abbiamo dormito molto bene. La colazione era ottima e varia con un piccolo buffet e la colazione vera e propria da ordinare al tavolo. Molto contenti anche del prezzo, piuttosto contenuto rispetto alla media. Siamo stati anche a cena nel loro ristorante ed era tutto ottimo. Sicuramente torneremmo volentieri e lo consigliamo a chiunque si trovi nella regione.

Way een heerlijke pub/restaurant. Verschillende afdelingen waardoor het sfeervol blijft. Dat het druk is is logisch omdat het gewoon erg...

Tried to visit for a couple of drinks with my husband and puppy around 5.30 last night. At first I was told there was a table we could have until I said that we didn’t want to eat at which point I was told there...

Beautiful country pub and guest house. Set in the shadow of Blencathra. Low beamed ceilings, watch out you tall folk. Attentive host, selection of ales and ciders. Extensive menu catering for gluten free and vegetarians. Plenty of space in these Covid19 days, no worries. Staff...

We are pleased to report another enjoyable visit to The Horse & Farrier for Sunday lunch with a very warm welcome. A known establishment to us and one not to miss if you get the chance. All steps possible have been taken to protect customers...

We love visiting all these independent restaurants in the lakes. The Horse & Farrier is a cosy modern pub with quirky artwork a hearty menu nice atmosphere and traditional features. We will visit here again

For many years, having a caravan in the area, we are at the horse and carried on a regular basis. We went back yesterday, for the first time in four years to meet friends. When we arrived, we rang the bell, as requested. A young...

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner while we were away in The Lake District. All of the waiters were very friendly and the food was fabulous! Would most certainly recommend! Only thing I would note is that it is not cheap to eat...

We have visited the H & F many times as we live close by, This was the first visit since lockdown & even though we enjoyed our evening we did find the Sunday night menu a little restrictive, It seems very odd that several starters...

Me alojé en el Horse and Farrier hace unos años, tuve un descanso decente y la vida familiar local lo recomendó nuevamente. Reservamos una habitación en línea en el sitio web de H&F, pero no nos habíamos dado cuenta de que nos habían reservado una habitación en el Sally Arms (también propiedad de ellos) justo al final de la calle.Me he alojado en muchos hoteles y be & B y esta fue, con mucho, la peor habitación en la que me he alojado. La puerta de entrada que se estaba cayendo a pedazos y el apóstrofe del tendero simplemente lo resumía (ver imagen). Pagamos 80, que no es particularmente caro, pero era al menos 50 demasiado caro para lo que era.La habitación en sí parecía no haber sido tocada por más de 20 años. Los letreros decían que se limpió con ozono, pero eso no tiene posibilidades de que la suciedad del interior.La cama y el colchón prácticamente se hundieron cuando te sentabas en ellos (no fui lo suficientemente valiente para echar un vistazo). El baño era pobre y estaba sucio: sello mohoso y puerta sucia que no se había limpiado durante años. La alfombra estaba asquerosa, pero lo peor de todo era el moho en la esquina y unos 30 años de polvo en el radiador. La "Vista" desde la ventana era el techo de una caravana estática con una taza desechada encima.El pub Sally en sí era lúgubre y el personal del bar estaba más interesado en hacer cumplir las reglas de un solo sentido a pesar de que estaba vacío. Muy mala selección de cervezas y un ambiente miserable.El pub Horse and Farrier en sí era bastante agradable, estaba lleno y, para ser justos, el desayuno era decente. La cena era normalita y cara para lo que era, nada especial y un poco estrecho en el tamaño de las porciones. El servicio fue bueno y se implementaron muchas medidas de COVID (aunque algo socavado por el camarero que en realidad se estaba hurgando la nariz mientras usaba una máscara facial y tomaba el pedido)The Horse and Farrier estaba bien, limpio y de calidad decente. No puedo entender por qué deben dañar su reputación al ofrecer las horribles Sally Arms como parte del paquete.No volveremos

I’ve stayed at the H&F before and enjoyed it. So booked again to reminisce whilst walking the lakes. The hospitality industry has had hard time of late. Little support, customer demand reduced, loads more processes, costs increased, people furloughed and not all have come back...

Llevamos más de 10 años viniendo a este pub y siempre hemos disfrutado del servicio y la comida. Mirando otras críticas, parecía extraño, pero en nuestra última visita, el menú es más pequeño, pero la elección estaba bien. La comida parecía insípida y el servicio rápido se sintió apurado. Hemos decidido mantenernos alejados de aquí por ahora y cuando las cosas mejoren lo intentaremos de nuevo.

La primera impresión fue que el menú era pequeño y bastante limitado.Pero al comer su comida y el servicio fue de primera. Teníamos pastel de carne y cerveza y patatas / verduras y pechuga de pollo asada con maíz asado. El postre era aún mejor fruta de la pasión y yogur griego Panna cotta.Gracias y estoy seguro de que si volvemos a encontrarnos así lo visitaremos nuevamente.

Two families eating together and we loved the food, setting and ambience. Really worth a visit -or two - or three!

Este es uno de nuestros lugares habituales para cenar cuando estamos en los lagos. Esta fue nuestra primera visita este año y nos decepcionó un poco. El asado del domingo todavía estaba delicioso, pero no tan bueno como suele ser. Sin embargo, el servicio fue terrible probablemente porque se estaban concentrando en la gente sentada afuera. Hacía mucho frío en la zona del restaurante ya que todas las puertas estaban abiertas para facilitar el sistema de ida.

Decepcionado: normalmente es uno de nuestros pubs favoritos. Menú Covid reducido en el jardín: pagamos más de 80 por pescado grasoso y patatas fritas servidas en cajas de plástico. Mantenerse alejado hasta que se reanude el servicio normal. .

esperó en la puerta 5 minutos tuve que tocar el timbre varias veces hasta que fue respondidoPedimos bebidas y luego esperamos 20 minutos para que nos llevaran nuestro pedido de comida, la chica dijo que nos gustaría unos minutos más para elegir hola, hemos estado esperando 20 minutos.La comida fue entregada rápidamente y fue excelente pero cara para lo que era, que era básicamente una comida de bar.Aunque volvería a visitar

A pesar de todas las críticas negativas recientes, lo pasamos de maravilla en el Horse And Farrier este fin de semana. Tenemos tres habitaciones, que estaban impecables y listas cuando llegamos.Tuvimos que pedir por adelantado nuestro desayuno, que funcionó muy bien y la comida que salió fue muy buena y nos preparó para el día.Las cenas fueron excelentes. El servicio fue muy atento y no tuvimos ninguno de los problemas con las largas esperas que mencionan otras críticas recientes. Con varios comensales quisquillosos en el grupo, hicimos varios cambios en los platos del menú, lo cual se hizo sin ningún problema.Nos lo pasamos muy bien y puedo recomendar este pub a cualquiera que quiera alojarse en esta zona encantadora. A pesar de todos los desafíos que se han presentado a los propietarios de hoteles y bares, creo que están haciendo un trabajo excelente.

Llegué muy temprano y la mesa no estaba lista. No es un problema. Me senté afuera hasta que estuvo listo. Esperé hasta diez minutos antes de reservar para comprobar si podía entrar para encontrar el área en la que estaba sentado con más del 60% de vacío. Cuando estaba sentado pidió bebidas y esperó más de diez minutos para llegar y luego tuvo que pedir un menú. Cuando llegamos la comida estaba bien, el entrante de calamares estaba bien y el filete de cerdo era fantástico. Me hubiera encantado un desierto, pero debido a la lentitud del servicio y al cierre a las 9 pm, no había posibilidad de que eso hubiera sucedido, ya que tuve que tomar un taxi para las 8:45. Ponga en marcha el lado del servicio y la gente podrá gastar más dinero en menos tiempo.Ahora se sentó en el hotel comiendo basura debido a la falta de desierto.

Comida y bebida deliciosas servidas con una sonrisa mientras se observa el distanciamiento social y se tienen en cuenta todos los consejos re covid. Un entorno espléndido, tranquilo y un placer para visitar.

Buena comida pero tan mal servicio. 50 minutos para servir un vaso de agua. Se perdió la sopa del pedido, pero no se olvidó de quitarla de la factura. El camarero no tenía ningún servicio al cliente. No sé si es nuestra etnia ya que otras mesas parecen haberse servido más rápido con bebidas y comida. Sin disculpas ni simpatía y un servicio honestamente repugnante.Nunca dejé una mala crítica, pero pensé que tenía que hacerlo.

Se sentó en el tranquilo y pintoresco pueblo de Threkeld. No me malinterpretes, este es un pub encantador. Tiene asientos tanto dentro como fuera, el último con un paisaje espectacular. El servicio es bueno con un buen bar. No hay cerveza fuerte o portero disponible, pero para ser justos, no hay muchos pubs para esto. La comida es buena pero aquí viene el 'pero'. . . porciones pequeñas! Este lugar podría ser mucho más. Solo como ejemplo, la porción de paté era pequeña. El pan que se servía con él era fino como una oblea y solo tres rebanadas diminutas, que no constituirían ni la mitad del pan tostado que se usa en otros establecimientos. Me encantaría volver y espero que aborden mis observaciones de manera favorable.

Mi familia y yo visitamos el 3 de agosto. . . primer día de 50% de descuento. La comida estuvo deliciosa. . . al igual que el personal. No nos ofrecieron ningún descuento. Al hacer consultas por teléfono 2 días después, me dijeron que el descuento solo se otorgaba si lo solicitaba. ¿Por qué unirse al plan si no lo va a utilizar como estaba previsto?

Fabulous food Attentive staff very clean amazing views outside good value Following all guidelines dog friendly

Nos encantaba venir aquí y trajimos a nuestra hija y pareja aquí para el almuerzo. Han pasado unos meses desde la última vez aquí y un simple almuerzo y bebidas fueron más de 90. . 3 de nosotros pedimos la hamburguesa. . era un bollo pequeño con hamburguesa y ensalada y una pequeña porción de patatas fritas al lado. . por casi 15 nunca más. . bebidas! ! 5 pinta de cerveza y copa grande de vino blanco más de 8 asqueroso. . ir a otro lugar buena gente no volveremos

Mientras estábamos en el Distrito de los Lagos visitamos este pub, existía la oferta Covid 19 - 10 pero, para ser justos, estábamos buscando una buena comida después de salir después de meses encerrados y queríamos apoyar el negocio. No buscábamos una comida barata sino buena.Llegamos y nos sentamos en el jardín y rápidamente nos pidieron que pidiéramos bebidas, lo hicimos, pero nos dijeron que no podíamos tener una cuenta ya que la gente sigue huyendo sin pagar. Pedimos nuestra comida de un menú bastante restringido y nuevamente nos pidieron pedir bebidas cuando apenas habíamos empezado las primeras y estábamos conduciendo.Bueno, es un lugar de comida de pub de Lake District, supongo, así que no puedes esperar demasiado, pero cuando llegó no estaba en un plato sino en una caja de poliestireno para llevar. los cubiertos eran desechables. La comida era pobre, pero la forma de servicio era terrible y no me refiero al camarero, sino a los estándares operativos. Cuando preguntamos por qué no nos dieron los platos adecuados, la respuesta fue breve "Covid". Lo siento Caballo y Herrador Puedo vivir con lagos de comida de pub pero no llevar cajas a la mesa y cubiertos desechables. mala forma. plástico desechable también en el medio ambiente también.

Mi esposo y yo hemos visitado el Horse And Farrier durante años, vivimos en East Yorkshire y siempre reservamos con anticipación. La comida siempre fue excelente, el personal encantador y no pudo hacer más por usted. Pero ahora para el declive, no podríamos haber estado en el mismo lugar, el joven que sirvió nuestras bebidas fue muy amable, totalmente opuesto a la señora de la caja, ella desestimó completamente nuestra solicitud con respecto al descuento y no fue retirado. la factura. nuestra comida era muy pobre, tuve el pollo alimentado con maíz que no estaba mal pero no era bueno, estaba abofeteado con puré con verduras poco cocidas, lo que significa que no había ninguna presentación, mi marido tenía pescado, de nuevo, nada que destacar. no nos molestamos con los budines ya que nada parecía hacer que quisieras nada. Tomamos una botella de vino y un par de bebidas adicionales, y la factura era de más de ochenta libras, valió la pena, no, no lo fue, no creemos que deberían cobrar los mismos precios que en el pasado, lo siento, pero la calidad de la comida no está ahí. Habíamos reservado dos cenas más, que cancelamos. no volveremos, lástima terrible, los dueños se agarran.

Solíamos visitar este pub con regularidad para comer. La comida siempre fue buena, el chef atento y el personal amable y servicial. Desafortunadamente, ahora no se pueden realizar solicitudes simples como cambiar el tipo de papa que acompaña a un plato. El nivel de cocción también se ha deteriorado. No volveremos a visitarlo, especialmente porque también se agregaron bebidas adicionales a nuestra factura.

Esperamos 45 minutos para nuestros entrantes, que era demasiado largo, pero el resto de la comida salió rápidamente y estaba bien. El personal era muy agradable y amable, aparte de la mujer de la caja, que era lo contrario de agradable y amable.

Hemos comido aquí varias veces a lo largo de los años, no muy lejos para viajar, y tuvimos una comida fantástica el 20 de julio de 2020, de ahí el motivo de la reserva de hoy.Sin embargo, hoy fue como estar en un lugar completamente diferente, sin atmósfera, frío, y la comida, el pastel de carne y el puré estaban bien, ¡el pastel estaba casi sin carne! Y para colmo de males, cuando fuimos a pagar, la factura era por el monto total, luego tuvimos que pedir la factura de "Comer fuera para ayudar", esta fue una respuesta muy de mala gana antes de que se entregara la factura con descuento. . . . ¿por qué?

Fuimos a todas partes en busca de dónde comer después de un hermoso día en Windermere. quería un lugar tranquilo y tropecé con este encantador pub. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa y el servicio fue excelente. Distanciamiento social y seguridad muy bien planificado. No me sentí nervioso por estar allí. Hicieron muy bien para que fuera una salida normal. Seguro que volveré, sigue con el buen trabajo

PositivosLa ubicación es ideal, hermoso telón de fondo.James (miembro del personal) fue muy agradable y ofreció un servicio al cliente increíbleDesayuno de buen nivelA solo 5/10 minutos en coche de KeswickEl caballo y el herrador en sí es un pub muy bonito.NegativosNos ubicaron en el Sally y puedo decir que es una de las peores habitaciones en las que me he alojado, no vale la pena la estadía de 80Había moho en el baño y encima de la cama; cuando entramos por primera vez en la habitación, el baño estaba lleno de arañasEl asiento del inodoro no se ajustaba al inodoro, era demasiado pequeño, lo que lo hacía muy incómodo.La habitación era absolutamente pequeña, el baño aún más pequeño. Apenas hay espacio suficiente para que quepa 1 personaLa mujer con la que hablamos sobre esto fue muy grosera, básicamente nos dijo que lo ocupáramosUn miembro del personal incluso nos dijo que la habitación en la que nos estábamos quedando, Sally número 1, ¿se usa principalmente para que el personal se quede? !Incluso un taxista dijo que la posada Sally no es adecuada para que la gente se quede en

Comimos aquí el sábado por la noche. El personal era amable y servicial, aunque no siempre es fácil escuchar a través de las máscaras. La comida era muy buena, teníamos calamares rebozados y truchas de mar que estaban deliciosas. Las opciones están restringidas, pero todavía pensé que había suficientes opciones buenas. Existe un sistema unidireccional para el control de COVID que implica salir y rodear el edificio para ir al baño, lo que no es ideal si tiene un poco de inestabilidad de pie y, con suerte, no se aplicará cuando esté lloviendo. Fue bueno ver este lugar abierto nuevamente ya que la comida es deliciosa.

Después de meses de encierro, estábamos tan emocionados por un almuerzo de pub los domingos en Lakes. . . lamentablemente nos decepcionó. . . no podemos criticar los ajustes para estar seguros de Covid. . . Estos fueron geniales y no puedo alabar al personal lo suficiente, pero la comida fue decepcionante. Reservamos para el restaurante y el menú era limitado. . . como vegano lo único que podía comer era la sopa. . . No es genial cuando acababa de hacer una caminata de 3 horas. . . se decía que no contenía lácteos en el menú, pero cuando lo pregunté me dijeron que tenía queso, pero tenían una sopa alternativa. . . preguntamos si había algo más que pudiera tener, pero nos dijeron que solo durante la semana tenían opciones veganas en su menú. ? ! ! ¿Por qué? ? ! ! Mi esposo y nuestros amigos disfrutaron de sus comidas, pero no quedaron impresionados. . . Disfrutamos de un café al aire libre bajo el sol, que era encantador y las vistas eran impresionantes. . . en general, estuvo bien. . . pero me fui con hambre. . . y eso no es lo que quieres cuando la factura llegó a 92. . . no nos apresuraremos a regresar. . . . pero con algunos ajustes podemos considerar.

Muy necesarios unos días de distancia. Grandes paseos desde el pub. Habitaciones de buen tamaño con baños excelentes. Muy buen nivel de cena, además de empacar para nuestra caminata. Servicio realmente amable. Excelente valor en todos los aspectos

Buena comida. Personal amigable. Precio competitivoUna muy buena introducción a comer fuera de casa después del bloqueo

Estábamos tan ansiosos por ir a nuestra primera comida de pub después del cierre. Aprecio que es una situación extraña, pero el personal fue lo suficientemente amable, sin embargo, tuve la lasaña que estaba bien pero las papas fritas no estaban cocidas, mi esposo tenía el pastel de carne y cerveza que se suponía que era una masa de hojaldre, era más como un corteza de galleta quemada. Sus zanahorias estaban crudas, sus papas fritas como las mías crudas y la carne del pastel estaba muy seca. Es triste porque la última vez que comimos en el pub la comida era para morirse. Este gas llegó a ser la peor experiencia en mucho tiempo. No había atmósfera alguna. Estamos reservados para el sábado, pero definitivamente no volveremos. Le mencionamos a uno de los camareros que era muy pobre y dijo que se lo haría saber al chef. . . . Si eso fue cocinado por jefes de cocina, no hay mucho que decir de su personal que está aprendiendo de él.

Late afternoon and the tables were fairly empty when we arrived, but despite the weather they soon filled - excellent food was served by attentive and friendly staff. This is one establishment that will be on our llist whenever we visit the north Lakes

This was a good Sunday lunch in a big village pub/restaurant which deserves to survive the coming hard times in the hospitality business. It was ominously quiet, as the whole area was, and this summer's prospects look grim.But that didn't affect the food; the Sunday roasts were above average, the vegan main course option was ... adequate, and the desserts were truly excellent. The vegan shortbread was so good you couldn't tell it was vegan.Service was friendly and mostly efficient with a rough edge or two, but lets not quibble. It's more a four star plus, but I'll round that up to five and wish them good luck. They deserve it.

We've had a lovely meal in the comfortable and cosy dining room. The shoulder of lamb was perfectly cooked, fish and chips, trout and steak and ale pie all went down very well- in fact all our plates were scraped clean!! Managed to find room for desert and we can thoroughly recommend the ginger sponge. And, don't forget the great beers.

Visited Horse and Farrier while staying at cottage in village..great service, warm and friendly atmosphere, delicious food. A highlight of our trip

Had dinner with my son, the risotto was excellent! The fish batter was a little hard but good chips. Friendly staff, worth a visit.

Just called in for a quick bite to eat, staff all friendly and helpful and the fish and chips was excellent. Beautiful welcoming country pub.

Having stayed in the past and recommended this pub to friends as the meals were always good, we called for lunch on our way to Keswick. We wished we'd waited to get to Keswick before eating but were hungry. The mushroom stroganoff was lacking in mushrooms and was just a dish of sauce. The veg lasagne was average at best. We weren't charged for the stroganoff (after I complained as no one asked about the meal) but left hungry. Service was lacking as well. Disappointing.

We booked here having read the great reviews ,having to make a visit to Keswick we decided this was near enough ..Upon arrival the first thing is the spectacular backdrop to the Stone built 16th century Inn.Spectacular views of the snow capped mountains..The hotel was warm and cosy with a roaring fire ,and traditional period decor ..We were immediately made to feel welcome and our bags carried up to the room .the bedroom was beautifully decorated ,King size bed ,and again nice and warm ..Tv ,tea making facilities and quality bath items too ,but the best thing again was the stunning view !The food was exemplary,not what you would expect from and inn ,more like Michelin star quality .The mature gentleman waiter Graham was very pleasant and took his time to engage in conversation,making us feel even more welcome ...Friendly staff ,amazing location and fabulous food,we would not hesitate in returning and fully intend to do so as soon as possible .

This 17th century inn based in the beautiful North Lakes offers a lovely cosy atmosphere with wood panelling and open fires, with an excellent range of well prepared inventive food as well as an excellent selection of real ales, the experience enhanced by attentive friendly staff and quick service. Definitely recommended!

This is what life is about sometimes. Good pub grub (yummy lasagna, good fish and chips, nice steak and ale pie, yummy ginger sponge pudding. Really friendly, helpful service. Nice coffee. Relaxed, dog-friendly, cosy. It's raining outside, your feet are sore, it's time to meet friends, have a leisurely lunch and a reliable, enjoyable meal. Been here several times and always the same friendly reception. Really a stand-out pub and worth the trip.

Ate here with several girlfriends on our annual trip to Threlkeld. All our meals were delicious. The lamb shoulder was particularly yummy. The pub is very cosy and has a lovely atmosphere..everything you would expect from a Lakeland pub. Also the service was very friendly and super efficient. Looking forward to our return next year!

We were visiting the North lakes area for the day and in truth were going to go into Keswick for lunch. The A66 was backed up with roadworks traffic so we went back to Threlkeld. Really glad we did. The pub was nearly empty but with enough folk in so it wasn't deadly. Lovely welcome from staff, we both chose the Cumberland sausage. It was well cooked and very tasty, nicely seasoned and plenty of it. We have eaten there before and will certainly revisit again soon.

A very friendly and warm welcome. Knowledgeable landlord who knows his business. A good selection of Jennings ales with wonderful views of Bencathra. Would return again.

Eaten here on a previous holiday so chose to visit for Sunday lunch. Very nice as always!!!Great choice of menu with the added options of Sunday roasts. Our party chose a mixture some traditional roasts and some from the normal menu. All meals were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed.Then the pudding. I had to choose my favourite which I had last time and have only seen here - Lemon & Ginger Sponge. Lovely!!! The ice cream is also a good choice. Lots of flavour options. Yummy. The service is very friendly and it is a cosy country pub just like they should be. Excellent views as well.

I booked a table for New Years Eve and was not disappointed. Great vibe, tasty food and even a free glass of bubbly on arrival. Staff were very friendly. A perfect combination for a brilliant New Year celebration. Will definitely visit again when I'm back in the summer.

Lovely old style pub. Friendly staff and owner. Unfortunately we didn't have any food but it looked very good. Good beer and made to feel really welcome. Will be back for food next time.

Very slow service and won't be returning here for christmas day again. Food is lovely thou.Staff very pleasant.

Good wholesome pub food with friendly staff and lovely real fires, set in a little village with great views.

If you want good quality pub grub in cosy surroundings, you can't go far wrong with this pub. You'll get a slightly bigger table and more room than in some of the Main Street Keswick pubs. I was impressed by portion sizes....although disappointed that meant I couldn't manage a pudding. I had fish and chips, with not a bone in sight and light batter and my partner had steak and ale pie. Staff were welcoming and. Dogs are welcome in some areas of the restaurant.

Can't praise this pub highly enough. Food was top notch and decently priced with big portions but quality was not sacrificed for quantity at all. The service was great from all the staff we encountered. The pub has a great feeling inside too. Would highly recommend this establishment to anyone. My girlfriend loves it here which is high praise indeed!

Walked up from Keswick along the old railway line and stopped here for lunch.We were not disappointed. All the staff were excellent with a friendly and helpful attitude. The lunch arrived abd this too did not disappoint. I had the roast lamb baguette. Plenty of perfectly cooked lamb a lovely salad, coleslaw and chips. This washed down with a couple of pints of snecklifter made a great lunch.We will be back next time we are in the area.Thanks.

Visited here whilst staying in Threlkeld, not easy to get a table. The specials menu was disappointing at £18.95 for a main course of overcooked fish with very little veg. I would stick to the more reasonably priced main menu. The pub has a nice welcoming atmosphere however with a very friendly waiter

Good food, excellent service, always a very warm welcome. Jennings real ale plus others available, gets busy on a Sunday

Lovely ambience and whilst the food was delicious, portion sizes versus cost didn't match-meagre, yet over priced. Jolly service from mature gentlemen but rather rude and dismissive from the younger generation!Perhaps over complacent?

The Inn was busy, very dog friendly and clearly very popular with many people. However, the pleasure of the evening could have been improved by a more personal service (we were served by 4 different people) and by the place being less rushed. We like to eat in a relaxed style but were out in just 1hr 15mins. The food was good but did seem rather over-priced. Most mains were £15.99 - 18.99.

we were staying near by this pub and had 2 wonderful meals there . we both have food allergys and they were very helpful and adjusted the meals to suit us. very enjoyable meals. the landlord also offers lifts back to your guest house if you want to enjoy a drink with your meal . strongly recomend this place.

....a day makes. Unpleasant experience in Ambleside the previous day but faith restored after visit to an old favourite. The lunch was good, the staff were friendly, and above all the beer was excellent. Would recommend.

Called in for lunch, welcoming place with good atmosphere. Pint of shandy and glass of wine £9.50, bit pricey for a village pub relying on tourists... Hubby had fish and chips, £10.95 a huge portion, I had scampi, billed as Whitby Scampi, but it was just like my supermarket frozen stuff, so coming in at over £9 wasn't great, now if they would have served homemade chips instead of frozen we would have given top marks. New owners apparently- they were great and I will visit again happily and maybe try a sandwich next time :)

We called in at the Horse & Farrier whilst visiting Keswick with my American cousin & his wife, Mum, Husband & our two dogs! The staff were so accommodating and didn't mind us having our dogs sit with us in the bar area. The food was to die for. So much so that we dined for 3 consecutive evenings I can't recommend this place highly enough and would just like to say if your in the area please go in and try it. You definitely won't be disappointed. The lamb shoulder is amazing. Thank you to all the lovely staff for giving us such a warm welcome and the chefs for cooking us some amazing meals. We will definitely be back when we next visit Keswick.

What a lovely place for a visit. Had a bar lunch, food was outstanding, very good portions, staff very friendly and helpful. Dogs welcome which is a bonus, lovely surroundings would definitely stay at the Hotel. Can't say enough good things about the place, Excellent!!!

Waited 40 minutes without any further intervention by staff so asked what was happening to our order; a mistake apparently. Whilst the waved the cost of the food it was poor service and did not go back. Basically a pub trying to be an up-market restaurant.

We did not make it to the top of Blencathra; the wind drove us down. So, before walking to Keswick we stopped for a coffee at the Horse & Farrier in Threlkeld. That was our mistake. There is a coffee shop in the village, which we did not see until later. My friend ordered four coffees but the barman became extremely grumpy and was almost grudging in his attitude. If I had been ordering I would have walked out! There were plenty of empty seats and tables. We provided a minute additional sale without denying other customers service. It was a shame since the other staff were warm and welcoming. We would have returned; but not now. The grumpy old man will ensure that we take our custom elsewhere.

Warm and welcoming. Great selection of cask ales lovely atmosphere. Would love to go back and eat - make sure you book as the food looks amazing and the staff are really lovely.

We been coming to the north Lakes for our holidays every year for the past 8 years and every time we've made a point of having a family meal at The Horse and Farrier. The reason for this is because the food has always been excellent. Excellent quality, big sized portions, excellent value for money and above all excellent service. During our latest visit, last week (which again didn't disappoint), we were served by an excellent waiter called Graham. He welcomed us and got our 'drinks and food' order sorted very quickly. We also had 6 small children with us who quite frankly were kicking off due to them being tired after a week of fun in the lakes, but Graham had the situation under control by engaging with the kids and getting their meals out ASAP which worked wonders.I don't normally write reviews but felt like I should write down our thoughts about this place as I think we should give credit where due. Over the years, The Horse and Farrier has become one of our favourite pubs as the consistency of food and service has been excellent.

Really lovely hot food. Very friendly and helpful. Food can be slightly pricey,but lots of choice for all budget's.

Stayed for one night recently, accomodation ok but food really poor.Ordered the famous fish and chips. It arrived overcooked and dry, struggled my way through half of it, as I was so hungry !I would say its ok for a pint, but would not recommend the food.

went there last week with visiting friend's, I live close by,i have been here a few times before, the place was full, I ordered off the normal menu, my food was overcooked and dry, they offered a special menu but I noticed the prices had gone up by about 40%,service was slow and some of our order was wrong, overall not a good evening, It seems as if the prices rise and the quality goes down went the tourist season starts,

Amazing food. Be sure to book early. 4 of us had different meals - vegetarian Lasagne, lamb shoulder, chicken, pork belly and each if us were delighted with the quality if the meal. The lamb melted in my mouth. The dining rooms were full - obviously it has a reputation that is justified!

We waited patiently for fifty minutes after ordering food. When we noticed a large group on a table nearby, who had arrived after us, being served we queried our wait. The waitress said she would check. Ten minutes later she came back and asked us what we had ordered. They hadn't even started preparing our food. I understand that sometimes a wait us necessary at busy times but at no point did any one tell us it would be at least an hour, nor did anyone bother to check we were ok waiting, or offer us a drink. Common courtesy would have been nice. We left, hungry, and still not knowing if or when our food would ever arrive.

Popped in for a light lunch, ordered two sandwiches and a couple of drinks and ended up with a bill of just under £40. Service was a bit slow, but the staff were very friendly indeed. The last time we visited was a lot better.

We first visited the Horse and Farrier at Lunchtime together with a large party of disabled Ramblers. (about 15 heavy duty electric scooters plus walkers).The Landlord had agreed we could use his carpark and facilites to have lunch mid ramble. Many of the ramblers brought packed lunches whilst others bought food and drink from the pub. So this wasn't a particularly profitable enterprise for him. However the staff were brilliant and couldn't help enough.We returned for dinner a couple of nights later and it was excellent although the place was packed out (apparently booking is always a good idea) we were seated and served very efficiently but most of all given how busy it was with such good humour. As I said the food was beautifuliy cooked and well presented.,

We're a family of four (our two sons are 9 & 6). We had a very upsetting time when we visited Horse & Farrier on our last evening in Lake District before travelling to London and then returning to India. Since I'm primarily vegetarian my choices at most restaurants are limited, however, I've never had a problem as either I or the restaurant work around something. It's the effort and warmth of a place that matters more than the taste of the food. Hence I was struggling with my choice of order. The kids were hungry so I wanted to rush theirs and ordered a veg lasagna for one son and a child's portion of a beef burger for the other. The rude behaviour started with the black gentleman telling me rudely that if pasta (since I thought a simple arabiatta sauce with pasta could fix me) isn't on the menu then that's it, nothing can be done and grabbed the menu from me. Then our older son (who ordered the kid's portion of a beef burger) got it without anything in it (not even butter; dry and poor). We requested some salad leaves, onions and tomatoes to be put in and that we'd be happy to pay for it. We then received a plate of salad thankfully to fix my son's burger. Then my husband's burger (he also ordered a child's portion as he wasn't very hungry) was fine after that (since I'm sure the Inn didn't wish a repeat of a salad request). We've ordered kids burgers before but never seen one so plain & insipid. Then I finally ordered the mushroom stroganoff (which clearly mentioned being served on a bed of rice besides garlic bread and salad). It came without the rice. When I requested rice I got it back with a few spoonfuls mixed into it! Atrocious. This is just not acceptable. I just ate so that we could pay and leave. I also noticed, during our meal, that only our table didn't have a candle. Were we being discriminated overall? I wonder! No apologies from the lady who clearly looked like she managed the place. The cherry on the cake was that I have not still received a response from the owner (who clearly asked for feedback as stated on the menu and who I emailed the same evening after finding a heap of their business cards in the Ladies toilet - as I'm sure they were left there for a customer's feedback). Good luck to so called successful snooty restaurants where pride goes before a fall! Atrocious behaviour and service! This is the first time I have ever gone out of my way to post a bad review which I avoided for 2 weeks hoping to get a reply and explanation from the owner which I haven't!

We visited for lunch during our visit to lakes on third of June 2015. The host not only served us with warm delicious curry but also was entertaining with his style. He even took photograph of my son and my friend behind the counter.lovely place with warm welcome .

After a family holiday in the Lake District, on the last evening we booked a table for supper. Firstly the staff were very accommodating when the party number increased last minute, and we had friendly bar staff and waiter service through out the evening.The food was delicious. I tried guinea fowl for the first time which was off the specials and I would like to tank the chef for giving me such a great first experience - will definitely be trying that again and hopefully it will be as delicious. Other members of party had belly pork (half a pig - huge portions!), lamb shank, pie, steak, stuffed chicken. All extremely happy and very full.Unfortunately we didn't try any desserts as we were simply too full form the huge portions! Great view from beer garden if your just after a drink off an evening, great all round pub - Will definitely try and return,

I must say that I agree with the review by Littlesuzie, below. I have never felt less welcome in an inn in my life! We called in for a light lunch. The atmosphere was 'chilly' to say the least and I was not welcome to attend the bar for service - I was told to sit down and await service. The waiter demanded my name, 'for the tab' said he. This was in spite of the fact that the tables were all numbered. When I go into a pub, my name is my business, not that of a surly waiter. Two half pints of draught bitter cost £3.50 and was excellent Jennings' beer. Two baguettes brought the bill to £16.50. Judge the value for yourself. Frankly, this inn needs to improve its customer relations and to get rid of the (African?) waiter. To the waiter, I would say 'I have eaten in places that you could only dream about and have always been made to feel welcome and have been treated with respect! Learn your trade!

A large group of friends were camping together at Burns Farm campsite (highly recommended ) and we booked a meal here on our last day. The staff were very accommodating and very friendly. They asked us to preorder our meals which worked extremely well and they managed to bring out meals for over 30 of us at practically the same time. Good sized portions of food and very tasty. Kids portions very generous too! A lovely welcoming atmosphere and a great place to relax on a dreary day!

Once again an excellent meal at the Horse and Farrier. Good menu choices and excellent food. Booking advised, they did put us on a table and told us it was booked from 6.30 (2 hours away) which was fine by us.

This is a great traditional pub serving excellent food and not overpriced. Makes a fantastic half day out if you park up in Keswick and walk the 4 miles along the Old Railway line (flat walk) into Threlkeld. Although it is even more welcome after walking up the mighty Blencathra first! You can catch the bus back into Keswick from a stop only a couple of minutes away.

This little gem of a bed and breakfast is set in a quaint old building, with low beams and sash windows. It is run by a number of extremely experienced and friendly men with super efficiency. We stayed in room 6 which had a king size double and a bath. Everything was clean and the towels were soft and fluffy. The temperature of the room was cosy. As with the food in the pub/restaurant, full English breakfast was excellent. We were sad to leave and had a great time.

Me and my partner were staying for a three night break at the brilliant burns farm just down the road.Decided to go in on the first night, partner had an ok steak, drinks overpriced. We went back for an evening meal on the last night of our stay. We opted for the olives to start which were ok. Limited menu - I opted for the scampi. It was greasy and tasteless. No member of staff came to check if everything was ok.When a member of staff did come over my partner was about to say the scampi wasn't great when the very rude waiter looked at me up and down and remarked 'must of had a cream cake earlier' Desserts were average and plates left on the table for approx 20 minutes after we had finished. My partner had to ask for the plates to be taken away. Get the impression they don't really care what customer service is delivered as trade is mostly tourists. We will certainly be back to this area of the lakes. But never will we waste our money in this dreary, overpriced pub where their idea of customer service is to insult their customers0

We walked along the old railway line from Keswick to this lovely pub. The food and service was excellent. The wine was to die for which is the reason we had to get the bus back to Keswick and not the return walk as intended.

We stopped at the Horse & Farrier for lunch. The restaurant has a pleasant, warm atmosphere. We had soup of the day and a shared desert. The food was good and the staff were really attentive, fun and pleasant. You should post a card at the tiny post office across the road!

Had a very nice lunch here last week, very welcome after a walk. The food was very good and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent, very welcoming and friendly.

We visited this evening for the first time, this is a traditional Lakeland pub, full of atmosphere and charm, the menu offers the favourites (steak etc) but also some really superb specials.The food was delicious, the best steak I have enjoyed in a very long time, the service was excellent and we will definitely be returning.

The menu was varied to suit all tastes. The food presentation, taste and excellent service was wonderful and good value for money. We will certainly be going again when next in the area.

Settled in the North East of the Lake District, this a place not to pass. The most warm welcome by all the staff and the criac is good throughout your stay. You can rest assured your meal will be to your liking with a great selection to chose from day or night. To top it all, they offer accommodation to suit your needs, whether you are staying for a short or longer spell.Go and enjoy this gem with a sister pub very near by for a change of surroundings as you prefer.info@horseandfarrier.com

Called in whilst having a drive on one of the sunniest days of the year so far, and sat at an outside table facing the hills.I had the steak pie - very tasty and the chips were to die for!Will definitely call again.

We cycled the old railway path from keswick which is roughly 4 miles and had built up a good appetite. steak and ale pie and a couple of nice beers hit the spot. key lime pie for dessert was also nice. good service from the staff - the lady who appeared to be the owner or manageress could try to be a little more friendly or smile once or twice.
