We went to this pub to watch a band, Ricochet. Great atmosphere and great service. The couple serving were polite and had the job nailed with no queues. It was great to see people happy in their work. Would definitely call again when in the area

Lovely modern bar and like all of Kendals buildings will have a story to tell. Really good selection of local cask ales at very good prices (£3.70 a pint of Swan) , friendly welcoming staff and dog friendly which is a bonus .

What a great place to meet up with friends, nice atmosphere and plenty of space outside in good weather. Don't worry if it's raining there are under cover areas on both sides of the yard as well as room inside. The food is good & well presented and the toilets are first class.They also have live music on most Fridays I believe, in fact this week it was a group called the Black Sheep who were rather good. Update, 2023, there are now new owners and they no longer do food, but the other comments have not changed. .

We came here from Manchester on a weekend away and so glad we came upon this place. Lovely venue with a brilliant outside area...me and the missus spent the late afternoon soaking up the sun! Staff were fantastic and really friendly...the Aperol Spritz and Gin Fizz we can highly recommend. They don't do food, but apparently are soon going to start again. Best surprise was the live music...there was a great band on in the evening...think they were called Big Trouble. Apologies to the band and staff for having to witness our dancing but we loved it! Can't recommend this bar enough! Definitely worth a visit!

My wife and I popped into this bar for drinks on a couple of occasions during our recent visit to Kendal. This pub has a really good beer garden through the back with lots of space, tables and chairs. On our first visit we were lucky to go when the Sauvignon blanc was on offer at £4.50 for a large glass and it only cost me £2.95 for a a pint of IPA. Coming from Edinburgh where you regularly pay £6 for a pint I was in beer heaven. The bar staff were grand pouring drinks with a smile. All in all a very good bar with lovely outside space.

Beer selection is small but pretty good. The outdoor seating area is probably the best in town, providing loads of quality seating and most under cover. Look out for reduced prices on real ale on Monday and Tuesday!! Would be 5 stars but they can't get a chef at the moment. Shame... used to do nice food. Definitely one of the pubs to visit if doing a tour of the hostelries

They no longer do food but the way I was turned away and told to go elsewhere instead of offered a drink just felt rude. The staff member was busy talking, seemed disinterested and just told us to go somewhere else bluntly. I was in around 12pm if you want to stop this gent damaging your business. Disappointing as in the past the staff and food have been lovely, now both are lacking. I’ll save that guy a job, cut out the middle man and tell you to also go elsewhere, i ate at the fleece where the food and staff were both fantastic

Never ever again. We sat outside and was told to be inside by 21:30pm, no issue with that but we were spoken to in an incredibly rude manner. The gentleman in question then spoke to another group in exactly the same manner! We went inside to finish our drinks as we watched the same person demand that people move out of his way. He was rightfully questioned about this and politely told to use the phrase “excuse me” he said he previously said this to the customer. He had not. He was confrontational to the customer. All night we watched this same gentlemen speak poorly to people. We along with many others in the bar will never return to this establishment based on his actions. We have previously frequented this bar without issue and compliments to the young girl behind the bar who served to an excellent standard. Regretfully, this vile man will run this place into the ground,

Spot on, really welcoming. The ladies doing front of house were working hard, smiling and really engaging. The food was great and pretty quick. They asked the kitchen if they could deal with us as a walk in, which is really sensible and clearly ensures the standards are maintained. Great beer choice also. Tip top.

Really really good food here. I had the Cheese and Onion Pie with 'Shoestring' chips and enjoyed every bit of it. Even the veg! The menu is quite varied and looks to cater for lots of different diets. I really enjoyed the garlic bread and Chicken 'popcorn' as well as the calamari. I don't see any sign of discrimination nor bad food as other reviews have suggested. Though I did visit on a Tuesday afternoon so there was no rushing the cooking staff 😁. Thank you for making our trip to Kendal so lovely.

The place was lovely on entry, we were taken to our seats and given the menu, all good. The waitress took our order, all good. Then the guy behind the bar, tall skinny lad, put the drinks on the table, slammed them down without a single word, he did this several times throughout our meal, just put the drinks down, nothing said. When it got round to paying I had to attract the waitress for the bill, we were sitting there about 10 minutes after our meal without anyone coming over. Tbh we were glad to be out. The food was nice, that's not at fault. The fault was the service, needs touching up, regardless of how busy it is, manners to the customer is always top. We weren't even asked if our food was OK or not. We'll be going back, but just for drinks, not again for the food. Pedro's and fleece Inn are definite better options in my opinion

Would not have found this place if I had not googled first. Tucked away down a sidestreet its very unimposing. Yet the service was exceptional before we even got to food with nothing being too much bother. Was looking for a Sunday roast and this was exceptional. A mix of beef and chicken, with seasonal veg on the side with full flavour. Roast potatoes crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Perfection. The mason mess for dessert which was to die for. No pretences here, just solid good food at a great price! I will be back.
