The Horseshoe Restaurant

Thought we would try dining in as weather not to good but wish we hadn't! Although there were a small number of people sitting down the dining area was blocked off with chairs. We asked if we could sit down and they reluctantly let us. We ordered fish and chips for 2, portions were quite small and a bit pricey but that didn't bother us too much. What did was the couldn't be bothered attitude of the staff. Nobody asked us if the meal was ok all they wanted was payment immediately the plates were put in front of us. We noticed the business is up for sale which may be the reason they don't care about customers but we wouldn't recommend eating here. Only wish we had read previous reviews before choosing to eat here.

Went to Kirkby Stephen to meet some friends and we decided to have some fish and chips for lunch at the Horse shoe restaurant where we have visited several times before this was a mistake it was the worst fish and chips I've ever had, god knows what they fry the fish in but the batter tasted awful, the chips were greasy you could actually see the grease on the plate and the staff were ignorant we sat inside at a small booth we asked if we could sit in the restaurant part because we had a child in a push chair but was refused on the grounds they had no staff. I noted that the premises are up for sale I just hope whoever buys it doesn't find that the previous owner has destroyed the reputation of this chippie before it gets started

The fish was awful , really greasy dark batter and fish very slimy curry sauce was like wallpaper paste with lumps of jelly in it. Ended up in the bin! Complete waste of money! STAY AWAY! try the chippy a few doors down

Very low quality for a high price. Do not recommend at all.

I ordered 2 large battered sausages and chips but when I got home I got 2 small sausages! I thought my order was correct hence the price but was very annoyed to find its just expensive. Portion size was rather small and wasn't keen on the batter either. I advise anyone looking for a decent takeaway to avoid this place.
