Reviews in Kendal

We chose a beautiful day to have Sunday lunch at the Stickland Arms nr Kendal. For that reason we dined in the beer garden. The pub has a wonderful view over rolling countryside. Inside it has an upmarket feel, close to its rural and historical roots. The food really was excellent. All the portions were harty and I would definitely recommend you try the Topside of beef, Lancashire Hotpot or the Fish and chips. Service was good, my only criticism would be when I rang and left an answer machine message for my booking no one replied. When I mentioned this, a lame excuse was given. Really surprised they don't have online booking if the phones are not manned properly. That aside this was one of the best Sunday Lunches I have had.

We were visiting our daughter in Staveley and wanted to take her out for dinner. She booked the Wheatsheaf. I can honestly say that the food was superb, the service excellent, and the overall experience of eating there was an absolute delight. Without going into the full details of what we ate, the venison was the best I've had in years, the fish dishes were fresh and cooked to perfection, starters and puddings mouth watering just to look at, let alone the taste! Wine was perfectly chilled and delicious. As for the service, the people at the 'sharp end' were pleasant, attentive and showed professionalism beyond their years. I would like my daughter to marry one of your chefs - if he's free -as the cooking I could put up with every night! Anyway, one of the best dining experiences I've had in years!

Excellent pub always makes people welcome. The most dog friendly pub in Kendal a pub not to be missed when visiting the old grey town. When we called in we got a friendly welcome from ouska and jack the dogs that treat it as there local. Will definitely call again

Deja Vu does everything right - really good food (and local food wherever possible), well cooked and served at an unbeatable price (3 courses for under a tenner). The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Top spot for dining in Kendal!

just come across the web site for Damson Dene.( Have written a letter though) We had our annual Christmas party there and have nothing but praise for them. We had a party of 26, all who also booked rooms for the evening. Everything was spot on. Value for money, cleanliness, food, and the service and friendliness of the staff was second to none! We have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely be returning.

Welcoming with tasty, varied and enjoyable wholefood! Always worth a visit, especially for vegetarians!

Lovely atmosphere, great food, terrible service

This is my favourite cafe of all time (and I've tried a few!) The cafe is very quaint with a good atmosphere, in a lovely setting by the River Kent. The food is of a consistently high quality, very fresh and wholesome. The staff are always lovely and its very good value for money. I always get a cheese scone (the best)and a salad (fantastic) to takeaway for my lunch the next day.

This is the first time I have eaten in a Pizza Express and I was really impressed with the quality and service, I am not sure if they are all the same but this one’s new and is a lovely restaurant and I am surprised that there is not a picture on here to show it off!!!

its been awhile since we've been there we have never been disappointed excellent food staff superb cosy atmosphere food brilliant anything special happening for Xmas

Fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Book your table now.

I recently ate at the Wheatsheaf as I had heard of their new talented Head Chef. I found the restaurant contemporary and welcoming with a great atmosphere. The menu had plenty of choice with a delightful specials board. I was pleased to see that the menu consisted of a variety of local produce which rivaled many other restaurant that market themselves purely on this aspect. The food itself was divine: well balanced, wholesome, exciting, presentable and extremely tasty. Overall I could not fault this excellent gem in the heart of Cumbria.

I wish i lived in Brigsteer, a beautiful village with a fantastic pub....having read in The Daily Telegraph that The Wheatsheaf was in the best 50 pubs in England & wales-best for food(cumbria) we decided that we must visit on one of our frequent trips to the lakes, and we wasn't disappointed...great people, truly great food...definitely gonna return(soon!)

one of the cleanest cafes ive been to in a long time. The food served is vegetarian but dont let this put you off as there are plenty of choices available and non veggies will easily find something on the menu they will like. Although they were very busy when I went the service was friendly and speedy.

This hidden gem is wonderfully welcoming. The food is wholesome yet innovative, with portion sizes you can only expect in Cumbria. The front of house staff are warm and engaging, most definitely worth a visit.

The meal was nice I loved the base & tomato sauce :) My only complain will be about the manager female blond I felt that staff was being terrorized by her and I`m not being funny I really mean that I would still recommend this place to everyone.

Several years ago I discovered the delights of the Union Jack Cafe and am I glad I did! It is THE BEST cafe in Kendal. The food is home made, delicious and very reasonably priced. We own a holiday cottage at Keswick and eat at the Union Jack on our way up there and also on our way home.The service is quick and the staff friendly. We would never think of going anywhere else.

Great,cosy restaurant with tasty lunches and dinners. Frequently changing menus and attention to detail, with an interesting wine list. Try the house red, a really good merlot . Friendly service, nothing too much trouble.
