Walked along from Keswick to threlheld got to horse and farrier been here a few times in the past nice peaceful walk and wanted some food we sat up on the grass as our dogs no good with other dogs likes her space and there...was a loud table outside so that’s why we moved away and sat up on the empty tables up a height went to order food and they said no food served up there I said well I’ll order on a table below and carry it up ourselves and no not aloud so they’ve just lost out on our money not helpful at all will not be back after 30 odd years !!More

On the ‘upper end’ of pubs in the Lakes. Interesting old beamed building with pleasant rooms. Good value specials on the menu which seemed like home cooked food.

Booked a table here for twelve on Easter Saturday but when we arrived they had a table for two for us. After producing the E-mail confirmation we were put on a cobbled together table configuration with a walkway between them (mixing square and round tables...doesn’t work!) and one person literally sat on a window sill behind curtains. Finding somewhere else for twelve wasn’t an option so we made the best of it. Service was slow and surly. The food was very good. The manager public shamed the member of staff who had made the mistake with the booking which lacks class. Mistakes happen - decent service would have gone some way to overcome it. Perhaps we visited on a bad day but not really feeling a strong desire to go back.More

I called in here for a pint after climbing nearby Blencathra. It was a lovely sunny day so I sat outside with my dog in the top area, which had lovely views. Friendly bar staff.More

£5.25 for a pint of Jennings Cumberland is just a rip off. These might be tourist rates but I am local and live in Cumbria, so I won't be going back. You can buy 8 pints in Booths just down the road in Keswick for...a tenner, and people wonder why pubs are closing. This was my favorite pub to visit at the end of a day's walk up Blencathra, always a nice way to finish with a pint well deserved but not at this price. Interesting to note that the local chap that always props up the bar was absent, probably can't afford to drink there any more. What a let down!More

£5.25 for a pint of Carsberg! which a two weeks ago was £4.70. That's a 9% increase! When I asked why it had gone up so much I was told 'it is what it is!' Next time I'll stop at the White Horse rather than...going here. We used to love stopping here for a pint or two but these prices are just a rip-off.More

We stayed for a couple of nights - in their sister hotel The Sally and ate in the Horse and Farrier. Asked to book a time for breakfast - not ideal on a break. Food good but menu not changed from our previous visit and...service really slow. Staff seemed tired and disorganised. A shame as service usually good. On a separate note the room in The Sally had the smallest en suite imaginable - it was really difficult to use and The Sally closed in the evening by 10pm. Also couldn’t get a pot of tea during day or evening. In day just a takeaway cup and nothing in evening. Really disappointing.More
