Kirkby Lonsdale is a historic market town located on the border between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales on the River Lune. Famous for it's Devils Bridge - a regular meeting place for motorcyclists and it's Victorian Fair held every September. There are many dining options including pubs, tearooms and hotels.
The starter course of crumpet with goat’s cheese was simple but well presented and tasty. The main course was ribeye steak with chips and salad. The steak was probably the worst I have ever encountered. Only a third of it was edible - the rest of it was gristle and fat. I would have returned the dish but I didn’t want disrupt my guest’s meal.

Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleWent for Sunday lunch with four other people. Very impressed with the service, food, decor & ambience. The only issue was that the draft beer was 'off'...
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleFood was excellent as was the service. The only comment I would make is that portions are very large and for us it was too much. We will definitely be back though

Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleWe love the Lunesdale Arms and we always come here when we are visiting our son at Lancaster University. The meal is of very high quality and the service is too. There is a very good selection, meat and fish dishes and pasta all delicious and a very varied starter menu. Love the fantastic array of puddings wheeled out on the portable menu. the ambience is always good and its great to finish off with a game of snooker too.

Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleWe are fairly regularly visitors and rhe food is always top notch. Great service from the staff too. And a lovely drive through the Lune Valley from Lancaster to get there. What more could you possibly want?
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleFor the first time in more than a year, we booked a table at 6pm last Saturday to enjoy an evening meal. We were made very welcome, and as one of us is wheelchair-bound, we were given a table on the level floor. Our meal was excellent, we each had three courses and a couple of drinks, and the price was very reasonable. The girls serving us were friendly, helpful and hard working. We hope to return soon !
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleOutstanding service and food
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleLovely very welcoming helpful staff. Nice food too but unfortunately we all felt cold. The lovely wood burner wasn’t lit and the electric heater on the wall was cold. We did ask if the heater could be turned on but it wasn’t. I had to keep a scarf wrapped around me. Because of that I felt it affected the atmosphere. We came to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday and she’s 85 so she felt the coldness and we also had a toddler who felt cold too. We still enjoyed our time together but think we would have felt more comfortable if we had some warmth.
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleCalled in for lunch with our Chocolate Lab. Very friendly welcome and dog treats provided. Lovely food and great service
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleThis was our 2nd visit. The service was outstanding, ambience great, food interesting and tasty.
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleVisited the Lunesdale Arms for food on New Years Day 2025. Booking was easily done by email although you can book online. There were four adults and a small dog and we had a lovely table out of the way of anyone passing. The menu is extensive and they have a wide variety to suit dietary requirements which was great for me being gluten free. We had the fish pie which was packed full of a variety of fish, seafood chowder which was delicious and a medium fish and chips, they do a large fish and chips and we did wonder how big that was as the medium was massive. The service was great and even though the staff were busy they kept us informed on our order. The meals are very reasonably priced as are the drinks. The decor is lovely. We will definitely visit again..
Lunesdale Arms – Kirkby LonsdaleWe had a lovely meal as always and the staff were fabulous but clearly there was not enough of them. Not their fault. We were having a lovely early evening meal but it was disrupted by two individuals setting up a PA system for later on. Whilst they didn’t really disrupt us that much, other diners were clearly disrupted and the two individuals didn’t seem to care! Such a shame as normally so good.
