Reviews in Penrith

The Horse and Farrier was recommended to us by the receptionist at The Quiet Site, when asked for the best place locally to get Sunday roast. It did not disappoint, the food was delicious, and excellent value. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fabulous meal.

Absolutely delicious roast beef Sunday lunch. Very good vegetables Great atmosphere (by the fire) and good service as always

This was our first visit and unfortunately will not return. The young lady was run off her feet, trying to do 10 jobs at once but was very helpful and really tried her best to accommodate l. The chef that brought out the food was obnoxious and off hand. Food was very poor, cold and expensive for what we got. Will definitely not retum or recommend

I'm a little hesitant to give too much praise to the Horse and Farrier as in all likelyhood this will result in my not being able to book the next time I'm in the area. The service was remarkably good. The food was excellent and the wine first class.

What can I say except we enjoyed every mouthful . Hard to choose from the menu as it was full of such exciting choices.

4 friends,on the way to Keswick, called for Sunday lunch .all chosen meals were delicious, flavorful and nicely presented. Highly recommended.

Great visit. Lovely staff and fantastic personal service. It’s a great restaurant for a special occasion too. Many thanks

Excellent

A ‘must try’ place in Penrith! Whenever we travel up to Penrith we always visit Grants. The food is excellent & staff warm & friendly.

Excellent food

This was our first visit to the Queens Head as we were visiting the area for a holiday. I booked a table and made mention it was my wife's birthday. We were warmly welcomed and the team had decorated the table with a banner and balloons as a birthday treat. The food was good and the atmosphere comfortable with a lovely open fire blazing. Service was very friendly but slow Overall an excellent visit and will go again

Lovely pub!!! Sunday lunch was delicous only disapointment i didnt like any of the deserts on menu (all sounded too heavy) will definatly visit again

I have lived in Cumbria for well over 20 years but this was my first visit. 3 of us went for a meal to celebrate my wife's birthday. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. My haddock was cooked to perfection and the other 2 meals also met with enthusiastic comments.

Excellent visit to grants at Castlegate. We were up visiting my mum who has recently moved to the area and decided to try grants. The staff are superb, very polite and tend to your every need. The food was delicious, served hot and really quickly. We will 100% go again! Thank you to everyone we had a wonderful evening

Staying in the area 2 nights, had a meal here each night, for 2 people. Different items chosen, so tried 4 dishes, all excellent. Staff really helpful and friendly, wish we were here longer

Our “local” whenever we are in the Lakes and it never disappoints! Food was exceptional, delicious and beautifully presented. Super efficient and friendly staff the Horse and Farrier really is a cut above. We can highly recommend the pistachio cake, absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to return!

Portion size was great, food value for money and be staff and owners where very friendly.

Amazing steak pie! They don't serve them often, apparently (the owners were well known for their pies when they used to run the Cross Keys pub in nearby Carleton), but they do occasioal Pie NIghts at Grants so it's worth looking out for them!
