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 😀

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
