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.

An enjoyable meal at the end of our holiday. Friendly service. Menu was interesting and generally very good. We just felt the main meal was a little bit too complicated (one of the fish specials) sometimes less , in variety of tastes, can be more. However would happily return.

Excellent food, our table of four couldn’t fault a single item. We received pleasant service also from all waiters staff who seemed happy to be there. We would recommend for anyone in the area and will return next year when we revisit the lakes!

Spot on every time. Consistently perfect. Roast beef perfectly cooked, just that nice pinkness in the middle. Always a good selection of ales and lovely staff with a great view across the fells. If you have room don’t miss the puddings.

What a perfect Sunday lunch Lovely traditional pub setting in village just off the A66 near Penrith Beautiful tender roast beef served with tasty vegetables which had been prepared with the same attention Perfect Yorkshire pudding Couldn’t manage a pudding but had to share an affogato

Two excellent meals on consecutive nights. The soufflé was outstanding and the specials on both nights were inventive and well executed. Staff were super, friendly and helpful. The chef is very talented.

The food was very tasteful and ‘just right’. All of the staff were brilliant. A pity we don’t live in this area and can be frequent customers.

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!
