Reviews in Penrith

Lovely food, really nicely presented with ample portions. Waiting staff were quite abrupt and not terribly welcoming, although it was incredibly hot and they may have had a very long day!

What a great evening. The food, wine and service was excellent. The lamb and pork were cooked to perfection. Nice and chilled atmosphere

Another great meal at the Horse and Farrier, delicious food beautifully presented ! The fennel ham on the stone bass dish was amazing ! Compliments to the chef ! Friendly staff a great night .

Beautiful food with lots of flavours and taste. staff service excellent. We love coming here before going to the theatre close by. Such a luxurious treat at good value prices.

Totally brilliant in every way! A beautiful historic country pub, nicely decorated with great food (we could have happily had everything in the menu) and lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff were excellent and we’ll definitely be back soon, thank you!

Excellent Stone Bass and Excellent Service. Friendly efficient staff, lovely table in the window…. Really nothing to find fault with! Came back today because we liked it so much !

We chose Grants for a pre theatre meal @ Penrith Players because it was recommended on our tickets and as we didn't really know the area we thought we might as well try it. We weren't disappointed! On the morning of our visit I emailed for parking information and Grants replied very quickly and suggested a car park nearby. When we arrived we were greeted by a very nice waitress and asked if we would like the pre theatre menu, our drinks selection arrived in a timely manner and we were given bread & oil dip whilst we made our meal choices. We chose Vodka & Beetroot Cured Salmon and Bourbon & Maple Southern Fried Chicken starters, both of which were excellent in flavour, presentation and portion size. For mains we chose Roast Chicken Breast with Madeira Sauce and Sea Bass with Lobster & Prawn Ravioli both of which again were excellent in every way. We decided to share a cheese board for desert and this came with crackers, butter, chutney, apple slices and three cheeses. The staff knew we were visiting the theatre and made sure that our food was served in plenty of time but in no way rushed. All in all a fantastic little restaurant that we would highly recommend. Looking at the standard (non theatre) menu we both agreed that we would come back for a meal very soon. (For information, our theatre performance started at 7:30pm and we booked our table for 6:00pm)

Very welcoming, and a great value pre-theatre menu (though we only had room for half a pud each after the first two courses). Friendly and efficient service, and plenty of time for coffee before the show. Will return!

Good food with a strong local service and very prompt service. The beer was pretty good as well.

Food was fantastic if a negative point maybe price is slightly higher than normal

Lovely meal, lovely lady who served, very welcoming sea bass dish just gorgeous Thank you

Ate in this restaurant on the last two Saturdays. Both occasions with visiting friends. We all enjoyed the food and drink. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Helpful throughout both nights. Best recommendation, I will definitely book again. Thanks, Arthur

Venison and chocolate, wow!

Lovely food, beautifully presented and served by friendly staff in a nice ambience. a great evening.

I always enjoy coming to Dacre and eating at the Horse & Farrier. It was a special family occasion with my two sons and we had a lovely time.

We stumbled upon this lovely little pub on our journey to the lakes and had a wonderful lunch stop there. The food is delicious and home cooked. All the staff are welcoming and attentive . We enjoyed our lunch so much on the Thursday that we decided to book a table and go back for Sunday roast, we were not dissapointed! The beef was so tender as was the lamb. Highly recommend this little gem

delicious, relaxed sunday lunch in a lovely local country pub, service was excellant and value for money great. We will be back. Thank you!

We dined here twice during our holiday. The food was very good and the staff were very friendly and attentive.
