Punchbowl in South Lakeland

Spent three nights here, lovely accommodation great staff, great food, recommend to anyone. Owners and staff couldn't do enough to help.

Superb food & great service , was very busy so a little wait but not an unacceptable one & an apology for it & it was well worth the wait, chicken & leek pie was beautiful with huge chunks of chicken & golden crispy chips. Belgian waffle was also delicious would highly recommend it here

Great staff, comfortable rooms and beds , excellent food and very caring owners Lynn and Ray along with their son . We were trapped in severe weather , they wanted to try and come and rescue us , kept in constant telephone contact. Wonderful!

An extremely well run pub with superb food. Second visit having been in January, this time it was very busy but the staff made us feel very welcome even though they were rushed. They found me and my son space withour dog, and the service and food were just as good as our first visit in January. Good size portions at good prices too. Will definitely be back again.

Recently had a meal here and it was very good. I asked for the rib eye steak and was asked if I wanted any sauces, I asked for blue cheese sauce and was told they don't do it but would ask the chef. When the meal arrived I was pleasantly surprised by a gravy boat of blue cheese sauce which was superb. Friendly service, beautiful surroundings and easy to find. I highly recommend this place.

Stopped in for tea when passing. Great service and great food. Good menu and all food good quality. Great enclosed beer garden. Would go back.

Este pub, sólo tiene unas pocas habitaciones pero que son lujosas y confortables. Había un montón de pequeños toques de local en la habitación.Estuve como una parada de un viaje más largo, así que optamos por comer en el pub. Claramente fue popular entre los lugareños, había un montón de gente comiendo. El menú estaba lleno de alimentos localmente y mi comida de origen local fue excelente. Sin duda me volvería a alojar aquí de nuevo, ya que valía la pena alejándolo de la autopista a corta distancia.También tienen una bebida especialidad de la casa basado en Tarta de menta de Kendal.

Solía vivir en la zona y no hemos estado aquí durante años. Sin embargo mi madre está todavía, así que pensamos que estaría bien hacer un viaje por el carril de la memoria. Fue genial, el ambiente es bien diseñado, no había problema para encontrar mesa tres incluso un miércoles a mitad de plazo, cuando ya estaban cómodamente ocupado. El personal era amable y eficiente y la comida era buena comida de pub con calidad. También parecía ser regular para mantener noches temáticas de interés local. Bien hecho a todos y sigan con el buen trabajo.

a Sunday evening treat and we decided to revisit this small Pub just outside Kendal. we had been before but it was well over a year ago . situated by the side of the main road towards Endmoor from Kendal there is a good sized parking area to the right of building , a short walk over even ground to the front door ,no step, and a warm welcome from new management with a very attentive style, traditional pub grub for both of us, Roast Beef with all the trimmings and a pleasant surprise was that all the ingredients were fresh ( last time we visited it was mostly from frozen ) we enjoyed just a main course on this visit even though there were some tempting desserts on offer . we will be back !

Went with a friend for a meal Starter was King Prawn Keiv, to die for followed by fish and chips with all the trimmings, superb fish, loved the chunky chips and the lemon mayonnaise was a delicious touch,best I have had for a long time

Visitamos aquí como un grupo grande (13), incluyendo niños.Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos desde el principio. El personal es muy amable.Muy divertido colocar nuestros pedidos, ya que se obtiene un 10% de descuento si realiza su pedido en la voz de Darth Vader abordaba, Stewie Griffin o Peter Griffin.La comida era excelente. Ni un solo fallo o queja de cualquiera de nuestro grupo.Volveremos sin duda.

The food was amazing, the minted vodka was delicious and the standard that my special request was met at was extraordinary. If I'm ever down that way again it would defiantly be this place I would be choosing.

Sólo un almuerzo rápido mientras pasábamos. La comida era muy buena, el pollo, jamón y pastel de puerros estaba abarrotado con abundante y las patatas fritas rústicas son algo que no he probado antes.Parece que tienen un tema cada día de la semana, pero lo mejor de todo es refrescos gratuitos para conductores designados los sábados por la noche, que es un buen toque como el pub es un poco fuera de la ciudad.Intentarlo en este hotel.

Mi padre y yo llegamos en un muy amplio y ventoso domingo esperaba tener el almuerzo de domingo sólo para encontrar sin habitación en el Inn ... pero, el simpático camarero nos permitió a sentarse en un área reservada para una bautizo mientras estábamos lejos por un tiempo determinado. Muy agradecidos por esto, ya que se han convertido de otros lugares en posiciones similares. Comida tradicional de pub grub con verduras muy coloridos servido por separado. Ambos tuvimos ternera asada pero encontramos la carne un poco difícil, por lo demás, fue agradable. El personal era amable y agradable. No vimos mucho de los alrededores ya que estábamos a la izquierda del restaurante principal pero por lo que vimos parecía luminoso y agradable.

El personal es amable pero con una comida mediocre. sentimos que los más costosos partes del plato estaban en bastante escaso y compuesto por copious_nfp raciones de ensalada.Comimos en elegir tanto el almuerzo de 'especiales' y el menú principal. Una vez dicho la comida era normal, fue preparado individualmente y era fresco. Los precios eran razonables.

Lovely pub with welcoming atmosphere. We chose fish n chips, gammon, scampi, chicken ham and leek pie. Food was hot, fresh, huge portions. Friendly efficient service. Bill was fifty quid for four incl drinks. Outstanding, great value, highly recommended.

We went to the Punchbowl for a celebration meal at the end of a long distance walk. The food was distinctly more interesting, and better cooked than most pub fare. The waitress, who was very efficient, gave us an honest appraisal of the dishes that we asked about. The overall cost was reasonable. We then had a chance for sandwiches as it was pub quiz night! Our team of 60-somethings was bested by a set of 70-somethings, but we still won a bottle of wine. Overall, a very good night out.

Just had a meal there at the weekend. Got to say that it was pretty average.Had to wait over an hour for it.No apologises given and over a tenner for a 10" pizza. Not worth it!! Standards have definitely fallen. "Popularity killed the cat" as the saying goes.

Ate here end of september menu and specials had good selection of dishes all three of our meals had a good amount of well cooked tasty fresh food cooked as we requested pub is nicely decorated with good selection of beer and wine. Staff friendly and service good will eat here again when we return to Kendal end of October

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Punchbowl. It was our first trip to the Lakes and certainly will not be our last. We were welcomed by Cris who couldn't do enough for us. Our room was lovely, great comfy bed & fluffy towels. We booked a table to dine at 6pm as it did get booked up quickly. The food was superb, the service was Excellent & the breakfast it is one of the best we have had. We would recommend the Pub to all our friends & family & will definitely stay there again. Thank you to David & all the staff.Marg & Bob McAleerDoncaster

Renovated recently, everything has taken on a new brightness. Food excellent and tables well spaced. Portions large.

The Punch Bowl was the nearest pub to where we were staying within walking distance. We set off on our 20 minute walk which turned out to be 45 minutes so by the time we arrived we were extremely hot and ready for our tea. There was a marquee up outside the pub so we decided to sit in it to keep the sun off us and the dog. There was a reasonable amount of choice on the menu, I chose pâté to start and my husband had a battered king prawn starter, for main we had steak, ale and mushroom pie with chips and veg and an 8oz Sirloin Steak with chips and salad and we had a side order of onion rings and 2 Magners to wash it down with. The pâté was homemade and very tasty, the salad was fresh and crunchy. My husbands steak was cooked perfectly which made it juicy and tender, the homemade pie came with a huge puff pastry top, lots of steak and mushrooms and was extremely tasty. The bill came to £47.70. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Ive called in here a few times, with friends and on my own and each and everytime, iv been made welcome. Its got a good atmosphere, and a roaring fire during the winter months. the foods good value for money, good choice of food, which always tastes scrumptious and the specials board is deffinatly one to take a look at.

This is a popular pub just outside Kendal on the A65, close to Oxenholme Station. It has a large car park and features a variety of beers, a roaring fire and as part of the attached bar a pool table and tv.The food is pub style with some interesting twists. The starter of chipolata suasges - 8 sausages of 4 different varieties served with a lovely dressed salad was delicious. A variety of roasts were available with pies including steak and black pudding. Also available were a pair of local flounders simply cooked.Busy on Sunday lunch-time, fairly quiet on week-day evenings.We paid two visits which is commendation enough.
