About us

Welcome to the Horse and Farrier! Set in the picturesque Lake District village of Dacre, near Ullswater, this pub has stood since the 18th century providing refreshments to the weary traveller. In its latest iteration we are providing traditional, home made pub food using locally sourced produce.

Seasonal menus and weekly specials allow our guests to sample new dishes using only the freshest produce available. This, along with a regularly changing drinks list means there is always something new to try! With walks taking in Dacre Castle, Dalemain Estate and Pooley Bridge, joining up with the Ullswater Way, there is ample opportunity to work up an appetite, or walk off your lunch. In the colder months our fire provides welcome warmth after a chilly stroll, and in the summer our south facing beer garden provides all day sunshine and breath taking views.

Great Sunday roast and the sticky toffee pudding was really spectacular. Great views from the dining room and nice atmosphere, Totally worth a stop if your in the area.

We were recommended this pub by a member of the crew on the Aira Force shuttle boat and it definitely didn't disappoint. The staff were friendly and the steaks we had were melt-in-the-mouth amazing.

What a great find! We were staying at a campsite nearby and came across this brilliant pub. You will need to book as it is popular! I had a venison burger in a great (ciabatta?) bun that held together while eating perfectly! Finished with a gooey meringue pavlova. They have a good selection of beers and we got a brilliant window seat with a spectacular view!

Went here today for a Sunday roast. We hadn't booked but got sat in the window with the most beautiful view down the valley. Wine was amazing, food and service just as good. We wish we lived closer but will come back just for this place.
