Echoing all past, present and future imbibers extolling the genuine "pubness" of H&G. You can engage with the locals at the bar or, choosing to be at a table, left to your own thoughts. All who have spent time here have a special camaraderie. Added bonus - they emphatically discourage toddlers and accompanying strollers. Nirvana for the adult sector!

Marvellous proper old man's pub.

I was in Cumbria for a wedding but I also had some time for a poke about. I'd left behind 25⁰ sunny beach weather and headed 400 miles north ! Having spent an hour swimming in a frigid Lake Ullswater I fancied a pint on the way back to my digs and this place looked cool as I drove past ; locals outside having a right laugh. I was welcomed by about five people as I walked in and wasn't judged for ordering lager. I was now properly feeling the cold from my 10⁰ swim and was thankful for a roaring open fire and CHRISTMAS music. So I huddled over the fire, while friends 400 miles south sent me selfies of them on the beach in shorts and t-shirts. Nice pub. Next time I'm up that way I fancy a session in there.

We suspect that the ceiling hasn't been painted since the smoking ban - but that just added to the charm of the place. Clearly popular with locals but friendy to strangers like us!
The Horse and Groom is a pub we have been to many times before as we like it there. It wasn't very busy this evening but still had a good atmosphere.Please don't change it, a good old fashion pub.
