Galloping Horse - Allerdale

Great food, great drinks and friendly staff with fabulous décor. Great lunch time specials menu. Looking forward to returning.

It's a lovely place that, unfortunately, is being let down by rather mediocre food. It tasted like the cheap takeaways that one can get at the supermarket and the chips were undercooked. If I just want to go out for a drink, I'd say it's a lovely place. For eating not so much.

I think being Father’s Day and a private function impaired the kitchen staffs ability to cope. Everything just felt warmed up rather than cooked fresh. The leek and potato soup was watery and lacked depth of flavour. I’ve had this previously and on that occasion it was thick creamy and warming. There was only one thin slice of beef on my guests plate, my turkey was not cooked through. My guests did not want the menu items and had the steak pie previously so the manager offered this as an alternative. Unfortunately the pie was apparently microwaved and was inedible. The accompanying chips were soaked in grease and also inedible. The Coca Cola was watery. The lager was lovely. All in all a wasted £90. I was with my elderly brother who was burying his wife the following day so obviously didn’t want to cause a scene but EXTREMELY disappointed with the whole meal.

Good nice food and nice looking pub and helpful friendly staff . Sat outside this time in the new beer garden .

Trip here with friends before on to a show was really good. Everybody's food looked really good and they all had complimentary things to say. I had the fish and chips and it was very nice indeed. Service was excellent with friendly and approachable staff even while clearly quite busy which was good. They easily accommodated our request and the bill was very reasonable for good food will certainly consider returning if I'm eating that way again.
