The best restaurants in Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale South Lakeland North West

We booked this place online, received reminders of the booking and it was only on turning up to eat did we find out it was closed indefinitely. There's clearly some automated booking system still active so be warned. Shame it’s closed as the place actually looked really cozy.

Amazing Indian. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Long established and the best quality in Kirkby Lonsdale

Farfield Mill looked the ideal stopping place for lunch on the way to our holiday cotttage. The Mill is a lovely building. We sat down in the nearly empty tearoom and immediately had to change tables as the original one was so rocky despite the wadge of paper stuck under the table leg. The food itself was pretty awful. My 'hot' panini was barely warm. And my husband's potato and watercress soup was dreadful. More like green water! I make watercress soup at home and it's not difficult! We won't be returning.

On entering the shop we noticed how spotlessly clean it was, which was a great start! Our order consisted of haggis, cod, chips, halloumi bites, peas and gravy, all of which were delicious. Both myself and partner commented on how tasty and perfectly cooked everything was. The food was prepared in good time by a friendly chap on the counter. We were lucky to visit on a gorgeous sunny day and took a wander down to the river and ate on a park bench. We would definitely recommend Jingling Lane Chippy and would without hesitation eat here again. Thank you.

Excellent pub, service fantastic, food cooked by David superb. Everything about our stay was perfect, rooms, staff , beer and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.

The best service. We were greeted by the owner on arrival. A very small local business, with a nice atmosphere. I had a cheese and onion toastie and my friend had a full English breakfast, the owner was very nice and asked us which bread we'd prefer etc. The food came piping hot and was very obviously fresh from the kitchen, service was fast and with a smile. Lovely food and very reasonably priced especially for the area. Will definitely visit again ✨️

The spice Essence 48-50 Main Street, Kirby Lonsdale. LA6 2AJ Tel: 01524 272725 Date of Visit 21st May 2023. No. 164 A pleasant warm early summers evening and you could be in far worse places than Kirby Lonsdale in Cumbria. A stroll over to a very busy Devils Bridge with its usual array of bikers and people swimming in the river. I strolled back to the village and made my way to an Indian restaurant by the Name of SPICE ESSENCE. A busy little place with seating for around 60 people. A warm friendly greeting on my arrival. Decked out in warm neutral colours situated on the first floor of a small building tucked away down a little side street. I decided on my usual bench-mark stuff to begin with, Poppadom’s with the pickle tray, there was a yogurt dip on the tray which I found to be absolutely delicious, I enquired what was in it and was told, Yogurt, cream, fresh garden mint, chillies and mango, it was superb. Next up was Sheek Kebabs, perfectly spiced minced Lamb on a bed of fried onions and a fresh crispy salad. I asked the waiter to recommend a main for me he suggested the special mixed Masala. A dish of Lamb, chicken wings and king prawns, in a rich creamed coconut and ground almond sauce, it had a delicious sweetness and extremely tasty. Accompanied by pilau rice and a delicious peshwari naan. Guess what’s for my evening meal tomorrow? The cost of this little extravaganza was £ 35.35 which included a pint of COBRA for the decent price of £5.20. Parking I would guess to be a problem during busy times. I’m going to give this place a solid 8.5 Well worth searching out, opens a 5.30 pm.

Food absolutely awful ,chicken was like rubber .

Highly recommended! Great service, friendly people, and pleasant conversations. What more could you need?

Awful, second time hair in food. Milkshake and waffle. The lady serving us didn’t wash her hands before using her hands to get the ice cream out of the scoop. My friend orders a waffle but they didn’t not have enough waffle mixture after I asked if she could make it and she still said no and I was still charged the same amount for half of a small waffle. As we walked into the shop it took the server 10mins to come down and serve us. Very disappointed with something that used to be good

Don't order the Salmon. Nothing wrong with the taste, but quantity was another matter,not enough. I will be leaving hungry. On the plate was a piece of Salmon, one spoonful of spinach and one very small round potato cake. My husband fared better with the Gammon, a much better deal. So I had to sit and wait for him to finish. My meal had taken less than 10 mins to finish.

Well ,after reading the reviews I was abit suspicious but to be fair I had beef in black bean sauce and boiled rice and it was piping hot and delicious, so no complaints here

Visited here for a late night takeaway. Food was alright, place is a bit dated but the staff were friendly, just your average Chinese.

Excellent meal we had the featherblade of beef and the cod. Both delicious and beautifully presented. We shared the local cheese board. The service and setting was excellent.
