The best restaurants in Kendal Mintsfeet South Lakeland North West

One of the most accomodating ice cream shops we've encountered! Normally we struggle with finding somewhere that is friendly towards my wife's nut allergy. They happily used a fresh scoop and also opened a brand new tub to ensure no cross contamination. Also, as a big bonus, the best ice cream we've ever had. Can't recommend the thunder and lightning more. Amazing

Fabulous food, Chris the Chef makes the most delicious breakfast not to mention pies! A really warm and friendly chap with a great sense of humour, nothing is too much trouble for him. The campsite has spotless first class facilities, with wifi reaching to the tent pitches (if you need it) lots of space between (levle) pitches. Location is beautiful, situated by a river, with scenic walks. We stayed for 3 nights, every member of staff so friendly and helpful, really wonderful experience, can't recommend this place enough - we will be back soon !

Delicious food as always! Burgers and pizzas are the best in Kendal. Delivery service is a 10/10 too 🤩

Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Do yourself a favour and visit this place you will not be disappointed spoilt for choice and everything really is that great

Lovely real ale bar in Kendall. Nice chilled vibe inside and good set up outside. Loads of ales on. I had half a pale as I was driving but it was full of flavour which is rare for a relatively low abv ale. There’s a curious work bench/table of some sort which is a mystery to the landlord. Pints on him if you can tell him what it was originally used for. Dog friendly and occasionally has food from pop up trucks. Recommended. 🍻 🤔

Good local's pub, good beer not too far from the centre of Kendal

We had drinks, lunch and dinner for 2-3 days and loved the food, the bar, and eating on the deck overlooking the river. The scenery is terrific and the remodeled decor and deck were very comfortable. There were problems and confusion with food service everyday we were there, but the remodeling had just been completed, so some reorganizing was be expected. At times we saw pretty aggravated staff members trying their best. It was often hard to get any service at all on the deck as the bartender was expected to wait on tables (forget about clearing and cleaning them) as well as tend bar. I know running a restaurant is tough, and hiring seasonal staff must be even worse. I have no suggestions about how to improve, other than to say hire more staff!!! We very much enjoyed the food and drinks, and the atmosphere. We never did get to eat in the newly remodeled dining room. There was never enough staff to wait tables, but it couldn't have been better than the deck. However, had the weather been rainy or cold, this review might be quite different! Cheers. I do hope we are able to return some time.

Great food, excellent service, 👌 only thing I'd say was too much food per portion but I'm not complaining at all, thank you to Jahed for taking care of us, see you soon

Hotel fine. Food lovely. Henry pulled out all the stops as he was doing the job of 3 people after the manager left. He worked from early morning till late at night. He deserves a medal or at least a pay rise.

Breakfast completely disorganized and missing things, there was no hot water while I was staying. Cleaning leaves a lot to be desired, not replacing things in the bathroom. Visible lack of staff. The only thing that was good was the location.

We ventured out for the afternoon to sample some gorgeous food and drink off the Christmas menu, and couldnt have been looked after better by the whole team! Chef johnny made sure the scran was absolutely top notch! They catered to my allergies and the bar service by claire was was second to none! 10.5 out of 10! 🙌🙌🙌 the manager Lian also made sure we were very well looked after 🙌 It was that good we stayed allllll day 🫣🥂😂

Went for breakfast for a sausage and bacon butty. Was very good. Lady at checkout was nice and friendly.

Not even worth one star. Order on app to go and collect to be told when it showed up ready that it had to be made again. Rude and obstructive staff that hadn’t got a clue what each other were doing and wouldn’t even refund there and then don’t even bother

This place has no hot food except packed buns with bacon ect. No menu at all. Wanted a toasted tea cake for my wife they said they had supply issues so it's a no-no. Yet in the store packets of them to buy. A hopeless place that's very clean. Go to Morrisons across the road, at least they have a full menu. Just don't bother.
