Our Well Kept Real Ales...
No visit to the Lake District would be complete without sampling at least one of the locally renowned Jennings ales, brewed locally in Cockermouth. Here at the Horse & Farrier, we always serve a wide selection of cask conditioned ales from this local brewery, as well as two guest beers from elsewhere in the country. There are usually six real ales served at any one time.
