Reviews in Penrith

Excellent meal, friendly staff, highly recommended

Main courses of Turkey & Belly Pork were excellent including the vegetables, despite Belly Pork not being my preferred meat. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the turkey. My desert (Tira Misu) I was not impressed with. It bore more of a resemblance to a choux pastry chocolate eclair than Tira Misu. Service as always was excellent

Lovely venison pie (great pastry) and well cooked veg, delicious Xmas pud too. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Good value. Little cold though as we were by the window.

What a fantastic little pub. We loved our early evening meal here on Saturday evening. The atmosphere, decor and service was absolutely wonderful. All the dishes were lovely and the menu was seasonal and varied.

We were a large family group including one child and we couldn’t have had a better evening!! The food was wonderful, so tasty and served so quickly. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really relaxing and laid back. We all enjoyed our meal( including our vegan nephew) and would thoroughly recommend a visit!! In fact, we hope to return when we’re next in Penrith.

Great meal and atmosphere

Excellent food and service as always. Can rely on the Horse and Farrier for good wholesome food and a relaxed comfortable atmosphere.

Lovely cosy pub atmosphere, with great views. Food of high quality and generous servings. Food came promptly. We were very happy and overall it was great value and very enjoyable.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch. We all said we hadn't had a better one anywhere. The team at the H&F give an excellent service all round. I am also impressed with the establishments ethos, of supporting the local Cumbrian economy.

Ten of us went for an early Christmas meal last week at H&F. Everything was excellent, the service, the food, the drink selection. I had a Christmas Dinner as I always do when I go out at Christmas and this was the best I've had. We had a veggie in the group and she reported that her suet pudding was the best vegetarian Christmas dinner she has had too! We even got a warm home made mince pie at the end which was delicious. Would highly recommend. 10/10

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
