Great staff and and great for dogs!

Couldn’t fault the staff and food, felt really welcomed on the multiple nights we came in with our Labrador puppy. Our air BnB host recommended the pub as a place to visit and I can tell why! Thanks for looking after us every time we...came in and thank you for the doggy treats for our puppy 😊 will definitely revisit if we are in the area again!More

Disgusting staff, average food, over priced drinks. Avoid!

Having last visited the Horse and Farrier four years ago and back then we had an amazing evening we were looking forward to our return visit. How disappointed we were! Firstly as the night progressed and the kitchen staff drifted out of the kitchen and...over took the bar area they were loud, used language that would be un acceptable on a 1970s building site and their topic of conversation calling their so called colleagues was out of order and not something that a paying customer should have to listen to. I'm no prude but when out with my wife we should not have to listen to such crude topics with such revolting language. Our food was OK, but nothing to write home about. I had fish and chips and my wife had the Sunday Dinner, they were both fine and nothing to complain about but nothing special. The drinks are higher priced than average for the Lake District and the beer selection has certainly dwindled since our last visit. On a possitive note, the young lady who served our meal was polite and helpful and the older lady behind the bar topped up my beer without me needing to ask. Will we go again, no! Would we recommend, no! Please return to your old ways.More

Hi Steve H We have recently had a rare issue with some builders using coarse language in our bar area, this has since been dealt with. I am guessing this is the issue. Either way, the team has been spoken to about behaviour and what...More

Great overnight stay with dog.

Stayed overnight at the H and F in their dog friendly accommodation 'The Salutation Inn' across the road from the pub hotel. Dog friendly room was spacious with bowls and bed area for the dog and large double bed with large plasma tv for our...comfort. Tea and coffee facilities including biscuits. Room was very clean and neatly furnished. Dinner and breakfast across the road at the Horse and farrier pub had facility to include your dog on non carpeted dining area and staff were welcoming and professional. Food was excellent nd service very efficient . Would definitley recommend this to others- perfect for walkers, close to Keswick and you can take your dog.More

Truly disappointing.

Not been in for several years and the food then was excellent. Today I'm afraid was a poor experience. The beer I bought was only average and the food was just about edible. My son and I both had a burger which were both like...chewing a plimsoll. The chips looked sorry as well defo from the freezer I'd say. So £53 the lighter we left feeling conned. Never again!More

A great traditional pub.

We had 2 evening meals here when in the area recently. The food was good the staff friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the gin menu, paired with various Fevertree tonics. I particularly liked that our dogs were made very welcome, in fact nearly every table...had a dog under it. All were well behaved. I would certainly visit again.More

Nothing special

Yes this is an old coaching inn full of character but I think £5.95 for 10 olives and 4 pieces of crostini is pushing it to say the least. The main course was pleasant enough but nothing special. Real ales also seemed expensive. Having said...that would probably return.More

53 Walkers from Lytham Ramblers descended on the Horse and Farrier for a pre ordered meal . With a choice of 10+ meals to select from the Kitchen had their work cut , especially as we only had around an hour to have it served...and eaten before getting back on the coach . No problem to Dave and his team. All the meals were fresh and well cooked, plenty of it and served quickly and with a friendly smile from the staff .

Really disappointing

Having eaten here several times before, albeit not for the last 4 years, we were really looking forward to a repeat of the lovely meals we had previously enjoyed there. However this time, the choice on the menu seemed very much reduced and far less...imaginative than before. We each had two courses and at best they were OK, but none were ones we would have ordered there again. It felt a little to us that quantity had taken over from quality. Nothing justified us sending anything back, but we had expected something better than what we thought was just 'average pub grub'.More
