What AJJP1 likes about The Brown Horse:
I confess I’ve eaten here lots, a first of Sunday lunch. Off the scale tasty Superb in every way I had to try the cheese and onion pasty when I saw it, absolutely delicious with the usual roast accompaniment Brilliant service as ever View all feedback. What samuelmA5015EW doesn't like about The Brown Horse:
Pros: good quality of the classic main courses with meat (pheasant, vennison), beers, traditional and charming decoration, waitresses' service. Cons: disappointing quality of the beefburger (notably the meat which was dry), waiter's service, poor attention to children. View all feedback.

The Brown Horse Inn receives high praise for its classic main courses including pheasant and venison, as well as a wide selection of beers in a traditional and charming setting. Customers also appreciate the friendly service provided by the waitresses. However, there were mixed reviews on the quality of the beefburger, with some finding it disappointing due to dry meat. Some customers also noted mediocre service from certain waitstaff and a lack of attention to children. Overall, the Brown Horse Inn is recommended for its delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service, making it a must-visit dining spot in the Lake District.
