Reviews in Penrith

Unfortunately our review is not a good one. We made a booking online for 8:30pm but half the party knew they would be 10 mins late(two of us) so we gave our order to the other half to avoid any delays. We were not greeted with a warm welcome and told that the chef was “doing us a favour” in staying late as he had been on an early! How the internal rotas are the fault of the customer who picked the online seating option is beyond me. So the starter and main came all together and the quality reflected that the chef wanted to get away. After the food we wanted to stay for another drink but were the only ones left and we asked the girl if she was waiting to go home which she replied “actually I am”. Hasten to add we certainly will not be returning to this pub which is a shame as we have family just up the road and though this would be our regular when we stay.

Two enjoyable, one night stays on our way to and from Scotland. Our food on both occasions was excellent. Staff friendly. We will be back

We were a party of four. The restaurant was quiet at the time of our booking. The service was fantastic . The restaurant and toilets were clean . We all enjoyed our meals and would happily return for another meal.

We had a late booking for dinner,staff friendly and the atmosphere was good. Food was great ,all four of us had different meals and all were delicious . Could highly recommend the food

It’s been a beautiful, warm and sunny weekend at Ullswater Yacht Club just a couple of miles away from the Horse and Farrier, where we book a meal regularly on a Saturday evening after a good day sailing. Four of us regularly eat there ; this weekend the food was exceptional- between us we had the slow cooked beef ragu, chicken breast , hasselback potatoes, English asparagus , pan fried stone bass and bacon chop with black pudding and twice cooked chips- all exceptional and perfect in amount and tastes. We wee then tempted by the dessert menu - but often try to resist- honey parfait with rhubarb! All absolutely delicious. Lovely wines too. Thankyou and see you again soon!

Was slightly worried when I noted that the H&F was up for sale on google. However after our excellent meals I was advised that the owner had decided not to sell. The food was inventive, with quality ingredients - the chef was obviously a talent to cherish. Finally the manager? and young waitress were great working really hard to service a busy evening.

Excellent Sunday Lunch! We usually go in the evenings and the food is always good. Sunday lunch proved to be even better.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere & friendly service. Good range of tasty food & drink choices on the menu. All food well cooked & nicely presented. Would certainly recommend

Great Sunday lunch. Superb beef. Matched by friendly and efficient service.

Great food! The lamb was divine.

We can not fault this restaurant in any way. Service is friendly, attentive and prompt. Atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Food is awesomely good. Very pleasant evening enjoyed in celebration of my husband’s birthday. Would not hesitate to recommend and will certainly use again.

Had a lovely meal on Saturday night. It was nice to go out to eat to find you serve portions which do not out face you and then have send half of it back. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend and will be back

Fabulous country pub and restaurant. Staff extremely friendly. Food Superb. Been quite a few times and food always good and consistent. Really enjoy visiting Tirral to this brilliant establishment

A super evening, very relaxed atmosphere and kind, efficient service. It was great that we could take our little dog in. The menu is small but covers all angles with some unusual extras and the food was delicious.

Sunday dinner may never be this good again, cured salmon to start was just a delight, the two us then went for Sunday roast, beef and lamb, both dishes were exquisite, so tasty and so well presented, and for us the perfect balance of everything that goes onto the plate. When we called in to eat on the previous Wednesday evening (which was also superb) we were told how good the Sunday dinner was, and in no way did it disappoint, quite honestly the best we’ve ever had, just wonderful.

LOVELY SUNDAY LUNCH FRESH COOKED TENDER ROAST BEEF WILL DEFINATELY GO AGAIN.

6 of us, aged 4 to 86, had absolutely delicious meals. My duck main and pistachio and parfait dessert were the best food I've tasted for years. Excellent service too for a fussy group with lots of different food requirements.

Fantastic food with a great friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
