Farmhouse Kitchen in South Lakeland

The food are nice, especially the homemade waffle. But the coffee tasted a little bit burnt .

little bit on the more expensive side, but my god it’s worth it.

Food was nice, but the woman on the till didn't seem to understand spoken or written English. As a result our order was incorrect and we over paid.

Popped in for a quick coffee and snackette. Coffee was good but the smallest Americano I've ever been served. Giant Crumpets were ok

Nice place. Was recommended in a guide book we had. Came for breakfast, nice quality, good price.

Advertise.gluten free , asked for gluten free.menu and told all dishes can be tailored to suit . Happy days ordered the breakfast which came minus sausage hashbrown and black pudding ... husband had a normal breakfast. What they actually meant was they removed the items that contained gluten and gave me what was left .. bacon mushrooms and tomatoes with gluten free bread !! Yet charged me full price ?? If you are going to offer gluten free then ensure you have the products available to provide the customer with what they asked for and paid for or simply advise on ordering that what you are actually going to get and pay for

Great spot! Excellent veggie/vegan options.

It took 40 minutes for my breakfast to arrive after ordering it. It was not even very busy and also was not worth the long wait.

Fantastic selection of foods on the menu, something for everyone, a quaint cafe style atmosphere, which can get quite busy at times, which is not surprising due to the great flood and drink on offer!.. Not had chance to try many things on the menu, but enjoyed the eggs Benedict & Chorizo hash amongst others! Will be back for more 😀

Seating arrangements were a little inconvenient. Food and service good.

Hot smoked salmon Benedict was insane, as was the mango and passion fruit smoothie. The European eggs Benedict was also really lovely. A great atmosphere with really friendly staff - the millionaires shortbread was also delicious.

Haven't even left yet, wish I found this sooner! 5 or 6 different options for eggs benedicts, waffles, pancakes, sweet and savoury, great coffees, all taste amazing. 100% recommend.

We enjoyed our lunch of the breakfast bap and especially the breakfast tea which was delicious. The staff are very friendly and would definitely recommend a visit.

Excellent breakfast/brunch cafe. Lots of choice, great service and delicious food. Nice and busy with a good atmosphere. Food came quickly after ordering- we both had a full breakfast, and was perfectly cooked.

Had a decent breakfast. Excellent coffee. Would recommend as lots of choice.

Very poor...2 chicken caesar salads...£28...A few bits of rubbery chicken strips, a tiny amount of shredded bacon and parmesan, a bit of lettuce and a few rock hard croutons...This was NOT ANYTHING like a caesar salad...No egg, no anchovy...Extremely poor value and not even described properly...Ridiculous!!

Fabulous breakfast and great coffee - really nice selection, super ingredients and a cosy atmosphere - would definately recommend

Nice cafe in the middle of Kendal. Only issue they don't have any sandwiches so my traditional ' soup & sandwich ' lunch is not available so just soup - which was very nice.

My wife and I visit FHK quite often for lunch at the weekend as the food is great with plenty of veggie options and a nice relaxed atmosphere. We have noticed the quality of service declining a bit during our last few visits: long wait times for food, inexperienced waiting staff and errors in orders. Yesterday (Saturday) it was about 3pm and the staff decided to play fast banging music at a volume that felt uncomfortable while we were trying to enjoy a relaxing late lunch. The food was as good as ever, (which saved the review from being 1 star) but due to the noise levels from the music it genuinely felt like a relief to leave. There's plenty of other good eating places in Kendal so for now we will be boycotting FHK and try again some point in the future when it has hopefully returned to its former glory.

Fantastic find just off the Main Street. Fantastic food, great service, lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed some food.

A lunch time spot that we took a chance on, no regrets at all, a pleasant welcome, the atmosphere is cosy and it is also dog friendly. A varied selection on the menu which would please most people. Food cooked fresh to order without a ridiculous wait, we ordered the giant Yorkshire pudding with sausage and mash from the specials board and a ciabatta and soup deal, everything was spot on and the soup was brilliant. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

I’m not sure what’s happened to this place in what seems like overnight. Was a really nice cafe with lovely food. Now, greasy crap fried food. My chorizo hash was deep fried McDonalds hash browns, with really really spicy mushrooms dripping in fat. This is not chorizo hash. Used to love this place!

Very disappointed 😞 ordered toast and fried egg and eggie bread and bacon. With 2 teas cost 21.50 Took 1 hour for the food to arrive. One of the eggs was still slimy and food was cold. The place however was nice and inviting and staff polite . But unfortunately we will not recommend this place . Sorry

Really nice place with a good variety. Place is nice and homely. Staff very friendly. Good quality produce, and plenty of it too. Nice thick bacon.

Food good, nicely decorated and not too loud, nice big menu, good childrens menu, plenty of choice, however service lacking. Two of the things I wanted were out including the beer on tap. Hot drinks came well after the food and only after prompting. Milk for coffee didn't appear until we asked again. My wife ordered veggie sausages, and confirmed this when ordering as the person misheard her initially. When they came she asked again 'are these definitely veggie sausages' the server said 'erm yes they should be' - hardly reassuring for a vegetarian... No forks on the table - had to grab them off another table. Yes they were quite busy but not completely full.

Stopped in on a visit to Kendal. Excellent coffee and a varied menu. My friend had a massive Yorkshire pudding stuffed with Cumberland sausage, onion mash and gravy. He has a healthy appetite but couldn’t finish it! I opted for an eggy bread brioche with avocado and haloumi which was an eggs xellent choice. Well worth a visit and we could see extensive breakfast, lunch and tapas options on a varied menu.

5 stars for everything. It was all great! The service, the food and the atmosphere. Loved having a quiet lunch here.

Was recommended this cafe by the barman in the old fleece inn. The food was spectacular and large portions, proper leaf tea with a strainer and very friendly staff. A fabulous selection of dishes and drinks with lots of seasonal specials. I highly recommend this cafe, we will be back.

Ordered sausage in a bun. Left all of it. Knife couldn’t cut through the skin! Would have made excellent shoe leather

Excellent food and staff , pleasure to eat there

Went there and asked for a table of 4 adults and 2 children. They said we could wait for a table but they didn’t know how long it would be. We said we’d wait so we were outside with our two toddlers waiting. Went back in to check on things as noticed a few customers had left and they had seated other people before us on a table that we could have sat on. It was a table of two in the middle of an 6 person table when there were actually other 2 person tables. They acted like they didn’t know we had been waiting and just shrugged their shoulders at us. Found it very rude and inconsiderate.

Always a joy to be back here! Great food, lovely atmosphere!

Had a Cumberland sausage crusty roll. Marvellous

Delighted to discover this great cafe - food and cakes delicious! Good value for money and friendly, fast service

A hidden gem in the Lake District! Warm atmosphere, delectable dishes, and a team that goes above and beyond. A must-visit!

Went for breakfast. I was looking forward to have the pancakes, but unfortunately they weren't freshly made, and were a bit cold when they arrived. Overpriced for 3 small pancakes. Maybe I choose the wrong thing or they just run out of batter. For that price, you would expect they made their own batter! Coffee was nice though, and that's why I give 3 stars. Really busy and slow service. So sorry!

Popped in with my dogs at the weekend whilst in Kendal. Place was very busy but not crowded. Seems to be very popular and I can understand why. Coffee and food were great. The Eggs Benedict were really good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Would really recommend.

Superb food at a very reasonable price. Can throughly recommend the eggy brioch or spicy Turkish eggs. Definitely coming back!

Food absolutely first rate. Pity they don’t open late (close at 5pm). Great service, great food. Loved the cheesy tuna melt jacket spud, side salad so fresh n tasty. Had an excellent accompanying English Breakfast Tea, extensive choice of coffees and specialty teas. Highy recommended.

Visited for breakfast and was seated quickly with menus. Upon ordering at the till was told it would be 30 minute wait for food. Why not tell us that upon entering. We decided to stay because the place looked nice enough. A while later a couple were seated on the next table with their dog. There are no signs outside that said it was a dog friendly cafe and to me this is not a problem but what about people who are allergic or scared of dogs? Shortly after a friend of one of the staff arrived at the door carrying her dog and the staff member was petting the dog...hopefully washing her hands afterwards. Our breakfasts arrived after about 35 minutes. My partner had opted for a veggie sausage barm an d she said it was fine and I had the full English. The black pudding slice was very thin and so overcooked that a circular saw would have struggled to cut through it and the bacon had been cooked so long that you could snap it in half. The beans were in a separate pot from the rest of the breakfast and we're lukewarm and watery. Toast slices were very small. For just short of £25 with one tea and one coffee I was very disappointed. I'm not one for complaining but didn't get the chance to as no-one came over to clear the table. If they had I would have mentioned this to them. All in all very expensive for a below par breakfast

Good food, coffee is okay. As ever the wait is a bit longer than acceptable really. We were told it was a 20 minute wait for food but ended up being 45 minutes, which is a shame as the food is decent, but every time we’ve come here the wait has been a bit OTT.

An amazing find. Peaceful and great food Had the curry pumpkin soup with a cheese and bacon jacket potato and the New York style loaded fries....taste buds very happy 😁 We will definitely go back...soon!

Dog friendly and very nice food and amazing selection of different foods. Staff was excellent and couldn't do enough to make our experience any better

Looking for a really good brunch while holidaying in the UK. The Farmhouse kitchen did not disappoint. In fact I would rate it as the best meal we have enjoyed on our holiday so far. I had the eggy bread with smashed avo topped with halloumi and crispy bacon. All cooked to perfection and super tasty. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great experience all round, would highly recommend!

The best eggy toast with smashed avo! Topped with grilled halloumi and crispy bacon it is the best brunch we have enjoyed since holidaying in the UK. Highly recommended. Staff super helpful. Really enjoyed our meal.

Lovely atmosphere and dogs made to feel really welcome.

This place was really great,food was fresh and service was great really friendly,I travel regularly and this the best breakfast I’ve had for many years Apologies to the server I didn’t have any cash for a tip. But certainly will be back.

Dropped in for brunch, overall disappointed. Well presented cafe with ice interior and friendly staff. I had breakfast bagel swimming in cooking oil - black pudding, sausage and bacon all seemed good quality ingredients, tasty once the excess oil removed. Hash browns inedible, soggy with...

Excellent fresh and healthy food in a very cosy and pleasant ambiance. Price is right. Staff lovely. One of the highlights of my holiday.

Lovely place, never had such a wonderful cup of coffee. Cake was nice too, but very expensive. Would recommend for somethig special

DINED WITH 6 FRIENDS, MY MEAL APPEARED 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE REST OF MY COMPANY, POACHED EGGS WERE HARD AND ONLY TWO MUSHROOMS FOR AN EXTRA £2 SO DISAPPOINTED. ONLY SAVING GRACE WAS THE COFFEE.

Really friendly staff, clean space and food was lovely.

Friendly service. Portion size is good. Flavourful food. Dig friendly.

Absolutely fantastic, probably the best breakfast. I have had so glad I did my research 😀

Visited for breakfast and what a treat this was. The food was simply stunning. we ordered mushroom truffle and poached eggs with smoked salmon, not a single crumb was left. Staff were kind as well. The place got busier during our time there, so it...

Friendly service from the moment we appeared in the door. Really family friendly, catered for all diets. There was a bit of a wait for food but they warned us and it was totally worth it. Great coffee; lovely ambiance & simply a relaxed meal...

Love this place! One of the best soups in Kendal, and my favourite Smoothie Pineapple and Coconut, well done guys! Staff always very friendly

We had lunch here and were surprised to be asked to pay before receiving our meals. We waited 35 minutes (they were not busy) for a kedgeree and scrambled egg on toast and the scrambled egg was luke warm. Tables were not cleared or cleaned...

Food was incredible, a very good choice of food, good portions and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend

I went due to the good reviews. At first glance it looks like an extensive menu if you are going for mostly breakfast items or if you like spicy food/tapas. It was ok - a long wait for food to arrive. My meal was quite...

Found this gem of a cafe in the heart of Kendal on Tripadvisor while staying in the lakes. The Breakfast is great and enough to set you up for a day out and about. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing and staff very friendly. Great...

Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts whilst visiting Kendal. Best we had in the town great choice and very good quality. Would highly recommend

Went for brunch at the Farmhouse Kitchen, it was delicious. The menu is wide ranging, with loads of options to suit pretty much all tastes. We ordered 6 different meals and they were all great. The eggy bread with avocado and bacon was really tasty....

Visited by chance. Had a lovely , fresh cooked breakfast. Cafe is welcoming, quirky and fun! Definitely recommended. Especially the coffee ☕️

The menu is extensive and not too expensive, the staff were brilliant and the cakes are to die for. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone about in Kendal - although it does get busier I would recommend booking in advance!

We have visited the Farmhouse Kitchen several times and enjoyed the food. Today, we were on the All day Breakfast, including one Veggie option - all were very good. However, one of our group was taken poorly while we were inside and the gentleman serving...

We went for brunch, only to be told that it was a 20 minute wait after ordering and paying…..please say when we arrive. It actually took 35 minutes. Not normally a problem but we were in a rush and the fact we weren’t warned when...

I was really glad to see that they had Atkinsons coffee. Unfortunately it was very week and also over-priced

Lovely cafe in the centre of Kendal. Warm welcome, a huge menu of delicious snacks/meals to choose from and a nice, pleasant space to relax in. The chocolate caramel brownie was to die for! Shame I was only in Kendal for a day-trip, otherwise I'd...

Good choice of food and drinks. Had ran out of soup by 2.30pm on a Sunday, no sign on the board to advise of this. Drinks came out quick, food took over 30 minutes to come out. The waitress put out cutlery on our table,...

Enjoyed a lovely lunch recently. So much choice on the menu and all food looked delicious! Healthy portions and fair pricing. Would go again; 10/10.

Lovely little cafe in the heart of Kendal, we visited today and had the belgium waffles & pancakes with panchetta & syrup, although the waffles were nice we were a bit underwelmed with the pancake size for the price & we did have to wait...

My advice would be to avoid this venue if you want to eat during a Saturday lunchtime. We were warned when we arrived that food orders would take 25-30 minutes to get to us but ours took an hour. They were understaffed and overcommitted which...

Stylish food has arrived in Kendal. There’s a huge choice for all palettes at the FHK. Sourdough, avocado, Belgian waffles… and fry-ups if required. Lots of coffees, fresh leaf teas… and, most importantly, soft jazz in the background. Good service. Foody heaven.

Found this dog friendly eatery today. Truffle Benedict was just stunning. Great ambiance tastefully decorated and set out. Friendly attentive staff too. If you find yourself any where near Kendal visit this place you will not be disappointed.

We popped in today with our 2 Sprockers.....and we have been so welcomed. The food was really really good. Such fantastic prepared food. The soup of the day yummy. My Haloumy Ciabatta what a fantastic combination and taste. Very busy but the service staff had...

One of our party ordered a meal which should have had hash brown and her bacon was burnt. Another lady with us asked for a child's chicken gougons with salad no chips and got charged the full price. Another lady went to go to the...

The Farmhouse Kitchen was a cosy haven on a very wet Autumn day. The staff were lovely and the menu proved a very difficult choice, with an amazing selection of very tempting things. The food was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Great food, happy staff, quick service. The tables are nice and spaced and easy to walk around. It's dog friendly, when we were in there they were very well behaved

A really thoughtful and varied menu there is lots of options but the breakfast brunch menus is the absolute best. Everything is always expertly cooked and presented, service is attentive and the place is always clean. You might sometimes have to wait at busy times-...

As someone born and brought up Kendal, my old town has changed a bit in recent years.Although I have family that live and have businesses there I was meeting family on Sunday they recommend the country Kitchen for breakfast I’ve ran a cafe for 12...

On our first visit to Kendal today and whilst sat in the traffic lights we spotted the cafe was dog friendly so once parked up we knew where we wanted to head for a coffee and slice of cake! A very welcoming and cosy spot!...

Was staying in the Lakes for a couple of days and had an Airbnb in Kendal. We were on the lookout for a nice little place to do brunch with our three kids. We found the Farmhouse Kitchen which was perfect! The staff were super...

This was the first cafe we saw when we arrived in Kendal & made our way back to eat late lunch. Great range of choices, companion loved the mushroom ciabatta & my sweet potato fritters with avocado, egg & pancetta were tasty. Friendly staff. Food...

Really great casual dining in the heart of Kendal. Lots of choice from a large UK/US menu. Will definitely return to this fab little gem.

Amazing cafe! Friendly, warm and welcoming. We had coffee and cake.. it was the best carrot cake I have ever eaten. I’m still thinking about it. Would come here again in a heartbeat.

After waiting 50 minutes for food, they misunderstood the order and brought out the wrong meal. Instead of apologising they argued and told me that’s what I ordered. They offered a cake after they took the meal away, which I refused. No apology or refund....

Fantastic little cafe. The coffee is good, lunch delicious and the traybake cake even better! (So busy eating we only took photo of the coffee :-)) Service is friendly and efficient - a lovely little local business 😊

On arrival appeared clean and welcoming. Varied menu to suit most tastes. Downside was that there was already one dog in so we sat on the opposite side. While we were there two more dogs were brought in and one dog owner proceeded to sit...

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean. Plenty of options available. Gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Definitely would go there again if visiting Kendal.

Fabulous food, great choice, friendly & efficient service. Highly recommend. Soup and ciabatta combo was excellent.

When I arrived it was very busy but the staff were so lovely and I can see why it is so popular, the food was amazing!! I recommend the pancakes with fruit, it was beautifully presented and tasted delicious!

Decided to stop by here and get some lunch before my birthday celebrations and all I can say is that this place is fantastic! The food was fresh and tasteful and the atmosphere was great, we ordered plenty and got quick service, less than 15...
