About Horse and Farrier

Situated in the picturesque village of Dacre, just a couple of miles north of Pooley Bridge and the head of Ullswater, the Horse and Farrier is a freehold pub dating back to the eighteenth century. The views from the cosy restaurant are spectacular and in winter there’s a roaring log burner to keep you warm. Dogs are welcome in the bar area and also in the beer garden which is a real suntrap during the summer months. The kitchen only uses local produce whether you’re looking for a sandwich, light bite or a three-course meal and the ales and lagers are local too, changing on a regular basis. The Horse and Farrier also has a self-catered apartment for two above the pub which is bookable through Air B&B for a minimum two-night stay.

A scrumptious Sunday Lunch in a wonderful pub and served by enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming staff. Altogether brilliant but don’t tell too many people as otherwise you won’t get in!

Came on a Friday evening 3 ladies away for a couple of nights.. the horse and farrier is a stunning building, staff and locals super friendly and helpful. Food although slightly more expensive than you might normally get for a pub, the food was worth every penny. Left stuff and satisfied.

We came here for a Sunday roast on our way back from a lovely weekend at the lakes. Having been here before we were delighted when they fitted us in last minute. However we felt the food wasn't quite as good as our previous visit in march. We had a roast beef Sunday roast and felt the roast potatoes were hard and the beef was very chewy. The service and general atmosphere was very good.

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole dining experience at The Horse and Farrier. The atmosphere was cosy, staff were really helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the food was absolutely delicious. Not our first visit to this pub and certainly will not be the last. Looking forward to our next visit and the ‘specials’ board.

We booked for Saturday evening, greeted pleasantly on arrival. We both enjoyed starters and the featherblade of beef for main course. Tasty, hot and came in good time! Decent value, enjoyed it, we will be back! Well done.

The staff were excellent and we felt welcomed from the moment we entered the premises. The food was good quality but not quite as good as we had hoped from listening to other’s recommendations. However the food was better than most if not all pubs in Keswick so we will certainly be giving it another go in the near future.

We were visiting the area from Kent and after attempting to eat at two other local venues who unfortunately had their kitchens closed, we found the Horse and Farrier, and we were grateful the other 2 were closed! The staff were friendly and indulged in my chit chat, the food was served in a satisfactory time, not super quick but equally we wasn’t left waiting. The food itself was lovely.. in fact I inhaled most of mine! Bravo all!

A real hidden gem! I eat at the Horse and Farrier regularly and it never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent, the service is first class, and there’s always such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s one of those places you’re always happy to return to because you know you’ll be well looked after and have a great meal. Fantastic food, lovely service and consistently high standards all round. Definitely deserving of 5/5 and highly recommended!
