"Travelled 40 mins for a meal with family after looking at an online post. Waitress serving was clueless and bored. When asked what the pie of the day was, the answer was onion and ale , when asking somewhat bemusingly, if it was a vegetarian special, the answer, we think, was no , but nobody knew. We later found out that is was Steak and Ale by listening to another waiter advising customers what the specials actually were. No idea what Largers were being served either, at the bar, 2 metres away. £9 for a child 's meal of chicken goujons chips and peas. Arrived without peas. When asked about the missing veg, we were told they were out of stock. We knew this as they were not on the plate but were asked do you want me to see what veg is available? Do you not know?? The options fed back were carrots or pea puree. Really?! For a 10yr old..... chips with carrots or a pea puree!? Surely the staff do communicate here at some point? Cold veg. Concrete Risotto (more than al dente) and tasteless tartare sauce. No discount offered or discussed when mentioning the rebel AWOL peas when paying quite a substantial bill. A disappointing meal, ridiculously over priced average food served by young, uninterested staff who have no idea what is going on. Far better and cheaper available."

My wife and I had an evening meal here. The food was amazing as was the service. It is a little off the beaten track, but we would thoroughly recommend a visit.

This was one of the best dinners I've had whilst on our UK tour, it was mouth watering. Not only is the Chef brilliant at what he does he's a really nice bloke to. We will be back. Cheers.

Fabulous stay. All the staff were welcoming and really helpful. Jodie organised late checkout for us and gave us tips on where to visit. The food at String of horses was excellent. We had a relaxing stay, felt really at home and will definitely visit again. Thanks everyone

The menu at this restaurant is outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the monkfish and lamb dishes, which were stunning. The duck for our main course was divine, beautifully cooked with a delicious jus. The atmosphere was lovely, with funky decor and perfect bedrooms. Colin, well done on creating a lovely dining experience. View menu

My partner and I have visited String of Horses for the third time and once again, we cannot fault it. We always stop in for food and drinks when visiting the nearby huts, just a short walk away. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The pub is incredibly cozy and warm, to the point where you never want to leave. The food is absolutely amazing, deserving of 5 stars. The chef is truly talented and his creations make your mouth water as soon as they are placed in front of you. We hope to visit again next year.

Me and the hubby were having a few days break away so decided to have a walk to this pub after seeing the leaflet for it which was left in the place that we were staying at Didn’t think to book a table before arriving so once in i asked if they were able to keep a table for myself and my hubby for when the kitchen is open they said yes straight away which was great The place is so cosy the staff are friendly and chatty The food was just simply gorgeous our mouths were watering We will definitely be popping in again next time we are having a break away

This charming and welcoming inn was just what we were looking for on our journey back from Scotland. It was a busy Friday night with both locals and overnight guests, but everything was handled seamlessly. The dining room had an impressive specials board featuring dishes like hare and goose, and we were impressed with the fresh and passionately prepared food. The service was excellent, and the pub had a great atmosphere. Our room was comfortable, and we went to bed feeling very satisfied. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stop and a unique alternative to the typical hotel chains in Carlisle.

We chose this quaint little inn as a stopover on the way south from Scotland, we were highly impressed! The inn dates back to 1659 as a staging post for travellers, and there remains lots of original features to admire. The log burning stoves provide a warm cosy ambiance, residents lounge a quiet space to relax and the bar at a weekend is lively and welcoming. The food is outstanding, local fish and game feature, with daily specials all presented beautifully. The rooms are well appointed and nicely decorated. The staff are attentive and very friendly, the standard of service was excellent. We have been informed that they welcome Motorhome stopovers in their well suited carpark but please tak...
