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.

Sunday dinner may never be this good again, cured salmon to start was just a delight, the two us then went for Sunday roast, beef and lamb, both dishes were exquisite, so tasty and so well presented, and for us the perfect balance of everything that goes onto the plate. When we called in to eat on the previous Wednesday evening (which was also superb) we were told how good the Sunday dinner was, and in no way did it disappoint, quite honestly the best we’ve ever had, just wonderful.

6 of us, aged 4 to 86, had absolutely delicious meals. My duck main and pistachio and parfait dessert were the best food I've tasted for years. Excellent service too for a fussy group with lots of different food requirements.

This is our go-to pub for lunch whenever we are in the area. Came for Sunday lunch, four people all had different choices - roast lamb, pork loin, macaroni cheese and fish and chips. All were perfect and we had to share puddings we were so full. The food here is always sublime and very good value for exceptional quality. This is a gorgeous little pub - we only wished we lived closer!

As good usual. We are very fortunate to have this as a local and we are very impressed with the new chef!

Had another superb Sunday lunch at the Horse and Farrier Dacre. Lovely pate followed by tender roast beef with Crispy Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings. We’re already booked for next Sunday. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we always ask for the table in the restaurant next to the door so we have a great view!

We have eaten at this Horse and Farrier several times over the last few years - this was a wedding anniversary evening out for us. The meal was quite excellent so we were both very happy. The parfait starter was delicious - my wife's Stone Bass was beautifully cooked, and my Duck from the specials board was - well, special. Two different deserts, equally enjoyable. Very well presented and served, so our congratulations and thanks to the chef and his helpers, and the front of house folk. Well done to you all.

We have been coming to the Horse and Farrier for a good few yers now and loved all of our meals here, but last nights was a cut above anything we've had here before, Compliments to the chef and his team and see you real soon again.

We’ve been regularly over the past 5 years and it just gets better! The food is amazing, a cut above usual pub fare, the menu is imaginative, all sourced locally and most importantly delicious! The staff are super friendly and welcoming and provide first class service. And if that’s not enough they serve superb real ales all in a proper Lakeland pub!!!
