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.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch, lovely meal in a beautiful old inn in Dacre. The staff were attentive. The roast was excellent, the beef the best I’d had in a while, melted in the mouth! The vegetables, also cooked exactly how I like them and plenty of them. My husband commented on that roast and mashed potatoes which he really enjoys in a roast! Thank you to the chef and kitchen staff, kitchen crew you must really work hard to achieve such excellent standards. The drinks we had were good as well and my white wine was served very chilled, just as I like it! Price point was very competitive with the quality of the ingredients and service. We would recommend wholeheartedly and will visit again whilst in The Lake District.

What a lovely Sunday dinner experience, the service was exceptional, attentive without being too attentive; and the food so so delicious I wished I had more space to try a dessert. The roast beef was melt in the mouth. All veg were so tasty. We’ll be back again soon.

Fantastic as ever. Remains one of our family's favourite places to eat in the county. Perfect for an event or occasional treat. The food is consistently superb & menu changes keep us coming back. Service always lovely too. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had a really delicious meal at H&F, the food and drink was delicious. We had an excellent cheese souflee to start. Then perfect pub fish and chips with home made mushy peas and of course when in the lakes STP to finish. Service was excellent and the pubs atmosphere is perfect 5*

Lovely birthday meal. Excellent service. The cheese souffle was outstanding and in fact it is so substantial that next time I will have it with the bread and green salad instead of a main course (and then there will be room for dessert!). Kitchen able to accommodate slight ingredient variation on a main course with absolutely zero fuss which was appreciated. This pub does very very good food and so it's a bit pricier than other places but you're getting amazing quality dishes cooked from scratch which is worth paying for. Already planning return visit!
