Reviews in Penrith

We had a lovely meal celebrating our friends 60th birthdays. Great food and excellent service. Many thanks.

We both had specials from the board, and what great choices; lamb and black pudding pie and the wild boar burger. Easily the best grub around the area, and the traditional pub itself and original features make it an all round spectacular experience. The staff were just as friendly as ever.

Excellent food and service

Excellent food, great service and a really nice relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent food. Lovely staff

Another superb meal. Exceptional food, great service, lovely atmosphere.

This was our second visit in three days which should tell you all you need to know. The first was so successful that it was a 'no-brainer' to return. The service was efficient and pleasant, the food was excellent and the drinks were very good. All the boxes were ticked. We will be back. Sadly for you and us it will now not be until this time next year, but then it'll be a date (or two).

Really lovely pub, great atmosphere and top notch food. Excellent staff.

Absolutely fantastic food in a lovely country pub setting. Greeted warmly by staff who provided excellent service.

Service attentive and friendly. Food was nicely presented and of a decent standard but overpriced in our opinion for the quality achieved. Our starters were very nice (spiced chicken and souffle) but our mains (slow cooked lamb & cod curry) not quite as good as hoped for. Lamb nice but the gravy was bland and fondant tasteless. The cod appeared a bit overcooked but in a nice sauce. I also personally prefer to see table mats used. Tables without, have a bit of a cafe look and feel about them and this wasn't in keeping with this restaurant.

This pub goes from strength to strength. Not just proper beer but increasingly wonderful food all served by genuinely hospitable staff.

Yet another amazing meal at the Horse and Farrier! Service was impeccable yet warm and friendly. My wife had the cod from the specials menu whilst I had the most amazing wild Cumbrian pheasant burger. Both were absolutely delicious, and washed down with stunning local ales! Couldn’t recommend it more highly!!!

60th birthday meal couldn't have been better, easily some of the best food we've ever had! Excellent use of local and seasonal ingredients. All 3 courses were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was spot on and all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Well done to the chef and all the team.

Superb My wife and I came for dinner and had a great evening. The service was good, the drinks were good. The food was god. All boxes ticked. We have been before, so knew (hoped) what expect. We were not disappointed. We will be back in the area next year and sure to book in. We have also recommended Grants to where we stay.

Our meal at the Horse and Farrier was in our Top 10 of the best meals we have ever eaten! It was delicious in every way. Quality ingredients, excellent presentation with warm service. We will definitely return.
