The best restaurants in Kendal Highgate South Lakeland North West

Excellent little find ! We walked the full length of the high street and came upon this lovely little place. We had tuna salad and a tuna panini - cup of tea and a bottle of orange juice. Both fantastic ! Would definitely visit again when in the area.

So, we (me and my 2 teen/tweens) popped in for a quick drink en route to elsewhere. It was a bleary, rainy Thursday and we just wanted to have a glass and sit down. We ended up cancelling where we were headed and decided to eat here instead. We weren’t disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing; very good quality, tasty and plentiful. We played a game which we ended up buying for home as the kids were addicted! Overall we would highly recommend. I don’t quite understand the negative reviews but I truly believe in giving praise when it’s due… ♥️

Lovely service, always delicious sushi absolutely recommend, delivery(£4 if order is under £50) or collection

Always good food whatever time I go to Fab Coffee. Breakfast or lunch, it’s always great. A varied menu, everything cooked to order, and wonderful people. I eat here regularly.

Great place for a pint with a view and a bite to eat. Fantastic place to hold your party or private event in this large space. I have been to several events held here and the food has been outstanding

Second visit and just as lovely as the first, tapas dishes are fantastic, we will be back again.

Visited many times before and always given a tip but I will not be visiting Brew Brothers again! Whilst ordering at the counter, I found the young lady to be obnoxious and not friendly. She then asked me to select an option on the card machine regarding a tip, I selected "no thank you" I noticed a jar for staff tips and thought, if I change my mind, I can leave something in there. She then bought our coffees and cutlery to our table, we thought our coffees were going to land in our lap and she literally dropped our cutlery down on the table. I was out for lunch with a friend and we were both shocked with her behaviour. I said to my friend "I think it's because we didn't give a tip when we ordered and she agreed. We eat our lunch and drank our coffees. I then returned to the counter to pay for two cans of drink that I got from the fridge. She was so rude, everything was too much trouble, she didn't want to give me any glasses to drink from, then I asked for ice, which I have been offered before, and she seemed to have a hissy fit. Then when I went to pay she said "oh yes, you don't leave a tip" and pressed the " no thank you" option on the card machine. I have visited Brew Brothers many times before with two of my friends on separate occassions for monthly catch ups and my husband and I go in with our dogs regularly. All I hear is support your local businesses, sorry no, not if this is how you are going to be treated. There are plenty of eating places in Kendal, some as good as Brew Brothers, some better value for money. Unfortunately, they have lost a loyal customer who will take there custom to someone who appreciates customers.

Fantastic haddock and chips. Can't review any other food as I've only ever had the haddock. Lovely indoor seating and some kerbside seating if you get lucky enough with the weather.

Went with my mother and stepfather. Starters were fine as was the wine. When mains came, my stepfather was brought a pizza instead of pasta. When we raised this the server turned and took a deep breath as if containing his anger. The staff were generally polite but condescending tones were prevalent. I won't go back again.

For a Tuesday it was wonderfully busy. Lovely staff and great food. Definitely worth a try. The aubergine parmigiana was lovely. I would say the vodka sauce could be a little thicker but it was still very tasty!! Definitely will be back 😊

Stopped to have a tea, latte and a slice of carrot cake. Great service and a huge slice of cake that we shared. Great value for money.

Came here after reading the reviews. Really enjoyed what we had (full breakfast and bacon barm), excellent coffee and friendly service - would visit again.

AVOID!! This is possibly the worst cafe I have ever been in. As someone previously noted, you can’t see in from the outside so you’ve no idea what you’ve committed to. The building itself is quaint, 17th century. We sat at the window. The window sill was covered in cobwebs. We ordered the afternoon tea which came with shop bought cakes one of the chocolate buns (cupcake would be an exaggeration) was mouldy. When we pointed this out to the owner there was no apology just a look of disdain. She returned with a strawberry one instead “just in case”. There is an abundance of eateries in Kendal - this venue should be considered a last resort!!

Habiéndome alojado en un hotel cercano donde mis solicitudes vegetarianas fueron atendidas con una mirada desconcertada o totalmente ignorada, fue genial encontrar este lugar en el Crooklands Hotel. Mucha variedad, comida bellamente presentada, ingredientes frescos y un personal encantador que sirve. Regresamos la noche siguiente porque estaba muy bien. ¡Ojalá nos hubiéramos quedado aquí!

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