Booths in South Lakeland

It’s a good local supermarket, however expensive

Fish and chips are back ! Fridays only Very good service

Lovely shop. All departments well set out. Great man on butchery who we exchanged American trips with. We usually do Booths Kirkby Lonsdale but just happened to be in Kendal that day.

Fantastic vegan selection! Staff kind and helpful.

Loved the lunch and drinks we had there. The staff were kind and courteous. The food was well priced and not too long a wait even tho it was peak lunchtime

Went in for breakfast, had the full works, tasty, plentiful with great service, thanks.

Wonderful experience. There are lots of food choices and no empty shelves. Happy helpful staff, and the tills were fully manned and open!

Lovely store, made more difficult to find by the awful one-way system in Kendal, not much they can do about that though!!

Great supermarket selling local produce grown and picked today. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Would recommend. Plenty of room for parking

We had a delicious Latte and Bacon Sandwich in the Café, the service was excellent and the atmosphere lovely.

Great coffee and bacon or sausage barm cake. Excellent value price

Pleasant large spacious cafe found underneath the main supermarket, I've walked past many times and never used, however quite surprised on the value for money, and choice of dishes, have enjoyed several lunches now of an afternoon with my wife, just simple, value for money food, nothing special, with clean pleasant surrounding and staff for a quick bite 😀

Beautiful store, well stocked and friendly staff.

A good supermarket and deli. 27 August 2022: still good. 3/4/23 still good.

Great store, great selection and easy parking. I love the downstairs cafe. We often park and do some errands or shopping with this being a central location then we pick up our groceries before heading home

Took ages for my food but was really good thinks it's because they changed to menus and table serving

Visited the cafe for a quick lunch. I expected it to be more expensive than it was, instead it was quite reasonable. Just some tomato soup and fries. Soup arrived with 3 generous slices of thick bread and 2 small butter parcels. The little one had fish fingers and fries. Soup was excellent, well seasoned albeit a tad too much sugar for me but delicious regardless. Fries were some of the best I've had in a cafe.

Nice store with friendly helpful staff. Great shopping experience. I love Booths as they stock items that are not available in other shops. Artisan breads that are fresh, tasty and good value. Great selection of cheese, deli items and fresh fruits and vegetables. Lovely cakes and biscuits, with a lot of local produce stocked.

Booths in Kendal is a large supermarket, up market, i would say charging more than Waitrose equivalent and it doesn’t wven have a customer toilet. “Go to Pizza Express’ was the staff advice as if Pizza Express has a duty to provide Booths customers with a facility. I’d say M& S is way better value for meat and fish and items like bread products you are paying double Aldi for no better quality, worse quality for wraps. £2 for 6 which didnt look great where i think Aldi are 8 for 80p. I probably overpaid 20-30% for a £100 shop. The pizza selection was also very poor.

Lovely cafe Indoor and outdoor seating and ample parking. Special deals for Booths cardholders as well

High quality supermarket with fast EV charging bays that just work. Can’t beat that in Kendal!

Lovely store, toilets need updating which lets it down really.

Great place but I saw the manager being rude to staff while I was shopping

Great cafe. Friendly helpful staff in the main. Have been going for years and always enjoy their coffee and bacon barms. An asset to the town where unfortunately many shops seem to be closing

Have to pay and display to park here but if you take you are shopping in Booths they give you the money back. EV chargers are in the underground car park below

Lovely supermarket,....high prices but great choice of food.

Very good. Everything we needed and good quality.

The breakfast was delivered very quickly and it was superb

Great staff. Good selection. Didn't have the items I wanted unfortunately.

Helpful staff fifty percent of the time. The rest of the time your are better asking help from a banana. It's more polite.

Lovely afternoon tea Alex who served at the till was helpful, informative and kind. I thought great value for money. Thank you Booths x

It's very impressive and has a fantastic cafe

Great cafe with tasty cakes and capachino. Fantastic range of beers from across the country and Europe

Booths always has more than you expect. So many different varieties of foods. They are also likely to stock the unusual ingredients which are often hard to find elsewhere. Lovely staff too.

A very well managed and organised store. Friendly staff and has access to the cafe.

Staff are always very kind, friendly and ready to help! :)

Great store with a vast choice of goods.

First visit to Booths very tidy great choices

Quiet - a peaceful place to shop.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Smaller store so not the range of items available in larger stores. Shame it was also missing a cafe!

Nice shop but a shame that you have to pay for parking!

Very disappointed that fish/chips taken off menu and full breakfast finishing at 11.30 they were the best sellers.Would also like to know why I am charged 15p extra for milk in my americano coffee at £3.15 whilst my husbands black coffee is £3 both same size

Just love booths, just a little bit more special than Waitrose. I don’t have one near me so when up north I always pop to one to stock up on bits I cannot get at home. The beer and wine selections are exceptional, and so is the cheese 🤣

We were so disappointed with the new menu! No fish and chips and no tuna baked potato or paninni.Plus no all day breakfast!

Nice selection of foodstuffs, ans lovely friendlt cafe

First class... it wasn't busy today, but by no means slack, the food as always was excellent, and nice and hot. I am sure that the fish and chips that I had would rival any restaurant, beautiful and fresh, crispy batter and not greasy. Portion size was good too, what I call a 'tide in' size fish. I would reccomend Booth's every time - I will be visiting again soon.

Great little cafe for a cheap and quick full English breakfast. Lots of free space, and the only downside is the servers are a little slow making coffee.

This was the first time I have had a meal here for ages, and I was very pleasantly surprised. We ordered a full English breakfast, and although it was moderately busy the food arrived within about 10/15 mins. At £6.00 the meal was very good value. I found the portion quite generous (though not overpowering) the ingredients seemed good quality and everything was appetising and nicely cooked. The breakfast tasted quite fresh and not over oily, as some fry up's can be. It's not the most intimate of spaces, but the atmosphere was relaxed and staff seemed friendly. I will definitely be going there again soon.

Always good quality as always and helpful staff and great place to eat and shop

Excellent example of what a supermarket should be - quality produce, good staff, fair prices. Interestingly, this is one of their branches that are removing self-service tills, as the company has cottoned on to the fact that most of their customers prefer to be served by a human.

Really like the cafe here. Always make a point of calling in when in Kendal.

Has items other supermarkets don't , good deli and fresh meat counter

Well laid out and good selection. Knowledgeable staff on cheese and meat counter.

Great place to visit. Quality Food Great Staff

Expensive but good. The breakfasts are really good value for money. Staff are always kind. No self service which is fantastic, nice to talk to people rather than a machine. Unibomber would be proud.

I’m sorry to say I won’t return here for anything to eat x drink . There was quite a que , my friend and I were served and went to our table waiting for hot food . My friend got hers thrown on the table - though she did say her bacon sarni was good . We must have been in the cafe well over half an hour and my sarni didn’t turn up even though my friend went to the counter and asked if it was in its way . So eventually I asked for a refund on my way out of the cafe . Some staff were not interested in helping solve our problem .

Having read previous reviews l think we must have gone on a bad day Nice surroundings Staff the girl who brought our food needs some customer training input, the plates were “place” on our table, both me and the wife said thank you, l didn’t hear a response at all, the waitress just walked off, no enquiry if she could help in any other way, The wife had fish pie she said it was good I had what was alleged to be shepherds pie, more like slush, the potatoes reminded me of that stuff we used to get called smash. On reflection l now wish l had complained and returned it, the lamb mince was grisly and everything was swamped in gravy almost could have drunk it with a large straw The vegetables were cool Both mains were extremely hot too hot to eat at the time of serving no idea why they were so hot and veg cool

The cafe is excellent Had fish and chips very good value for money

Friendly cafe staff, good quality food. Paying to park adds to the cost, though.

The North 's answer to Tesco's or Sainsbury's. I was pleased to find a great selection of products, although disappointed at the lack of gluten & lactose free products.

A very well laid out store with plenty of space between the aisles. Lots of high quality produce on the shelves and Importantly there was a real focus on produce grown and reared locally. The in-store statement promoting locally sourced products was absolutely spot on. Found the items we required and went to the till which was free for use. The assistant was friendly and polite. The service from the staff was extremely fast and efficient.

Great supermarket with some very nice, interesting ingredients to inspire trying new dishes to make. Sometimes the checkout staff are a little surly!

Well stocked supermarket with a fabulous cheese counter. The selection of produce is superior to competitors and they carry many unusual, more premium brands. There is no customer toilet and they seem to sell plastic bags; I would’ve much preferred to buy a reusable bag.

Had the complete Christmas meal for the whole family, great value for 8 people. Loved shopping there, staff super-friendly.

Nice supermarket, good range of food and produce

Great breakfast,really enjoyed it.

Friendly staff, good range of products

5 star review based on the friendliness of the staff, I've visited several times when I'm in Kendal and they are unfailingly approachable, professional, and yet personable too. On Christmas Eve I was served by Julie, she was decked out for the day in tinsel and sparkly eye makeup that she told me she'd applied in the dark 😁 She was brilliant, she made my day, it will be a sad day if she retires.

Great selection of goodies, especially the bottled beer selection from local breweries. If you are lucky there may be some marked down items to tempt you. There is a fabulous selection of other food items which include fish, meat, vegetables,bread and other shelf items. There is also a very good cafe downstairs, which can be accessed via the lift .

Visited 22nd December 23 Not selling westmoreland sausage or black pudding because the staff say it is not festive

Same as All the booths stores something a bit different from the norm shop ,has parking and disability parking 2 floors however there is a lift so no problems accessing both floors enjoy

Loved it. Pleasant, polite staff, great produce and a positive shopping experience. Our go to shop for that something different/special.

Use this cafe quite often as the service is usually very good the staff are friendly & helpful. I am impressed how quickly the tables are cleared & cleaned after use The food is good today I had a bacon bun & husband had a sausage bun both very tasty & nicely cooked we also shared a delicious chocolate brownie

Cafe Geat hard working staff The Store is typical Booths Top Notch

Booths kendal is always a good experience. Great quality at a competitive price.

Always enjoy a trip to Booths cafe. Great food and great prices 😊

Fab cafe at this Booths. Lovely atmosphere. Fab decor

What a change to use Booths after getting used to the same old same old in the south of the country.

Great coffee love the place down stairs the loos are always clean and tidy

Called in just before closing time for a few bits so clean and tidy and very patient staff

An expensive copy of M&S on the fresh foods front

You have to love Booths. Step back in time to how supermarkets used to be.

The shop was worth it, after the sat nav took us on the one way system though.

The Waitrose of Cumbria (they have no Waitrose!). Medium sized upmarket supermarket, as you would expect the staff are very attentive / pleasant and the food is of high quality. Parking outside is difficult and getting to and from the main road is not easy.

When to the cafe the food was good and good price's

Fantastic choice of produce, friendly staff

We bought three sticky toffee puddings on Mon Oct 16th. Nothing exactly wrong with them, but they were very expensive, and quite disappointing. Dry and not enough sauce were the main problems. The ones at ASDA, Tesco, Aldi and Lidl are far nicer, and of course about one third of the price. Won't bother going to Booths again.

Charge for parking and then can’t be bothered to fix massive potholes in carpark. Would have exposed more from the place

I like the store very handy to get to

We've always had really nice meals at kendal called in today me and my husband both went for the fish and chips. The batter was soggy and undercooked I left most of mine as I was worried the fish hadn't been thoroughly cooked. Last time we went the service was brilliant but unfortunately not today

Booths makes Waitrose look like Heron foods.

My friend and I popped into Kendal to do some shopping and had breakfast here at Booths Cafe. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful, extremely reasonable, and the service was brilliant. We will definitely be coming here again. Thank you.

It’s a booths. No more no less.

We had two fabulous fish pies here great coffee friendly staff very reasonably priced a rare find if you find yourself in Kendal a must visit

Booths is a good shop, lovely cooked roast ham but cooked topside beef was gristly today.yesterdays was nice. Also if you didn't know, booths have a parcel drop off locker which is good. Lovely selection of cheeses. Also after refurb no more self checkout which were speedy and handy.

Great shopping and cafe v tasty cakes. Staff v pleasant and helpful

You have to spend £10 to get any money back on your parking. Large store, well stocked.

Everything as it should be for a centre of town outlet

Having shopped here many times on our visit to the area, we decided to give the café a go for breakfast. Very mediocre at best. Nothing to shout about. Wouldn't be high on the list to return.
