The Sun Inn
B5284, KendalMy wife and I were on a 2 day stopover in kendal, and decideded to go to Bo'ness for lunch. Didn't manage to get out the car , to busy so headed back by crook, to kendal. We stopped at the Sun Inn for lunch here, and were not dissapointed. I had a Lovely beef dinner, my wife had the cumberland sausage, which looked nice, she wouldn't let me taste it? . Extra portion of cheesy cauliflower is recommended. nice selection of real ale. Average wait for meal, about 20 mins , a very reasonable wait, which was fine, as Reece and Pauline kept us updated. Dog friendly as well. We sat outside as it was a nice sunny day. Im so glad I didn't get out my car at Bo'ness ,and stopped at the Sun Inn . Well done Pauline and Reece, we will be back soon.??.
P.s. I noticed a negative review by Joe Lord. If you arrive at 7.45pm and expect to be served quick in the middle of service in a pub, then you should go to a maccy dees in future. Your review is obviously sour grapes on your part.

Fish Express
70 Highgate, KendalI don't leave 5* reviews very often, but in my opinion this is the best Gluten-Free Chippy in Cumbria (sorry Vinegar Jones). The difference is that the GF batter is homemade, the portions are generous, and the service is welcoming. I visited three times this month. The fish quality is great, the chips are crispy, and they have a GF battered sausage option too. There is a special offer on this that is good value. And if the normal F&C prices seem high, it's because you haven't seen a portion size yet!

The only downside is that we just had a short amount of time to be there and we considered the entry ticket to the gardens a bit too much for a short period. Maybe the entry could be included if you eat there, we would’ve loved to see them.

Frydays of Kendal
6 New Rd, KendalClean & professional premises. Room to park outside in the evening. Would possibly be 5 stars, but didn't have the small fish and chips advertised on their board. We are two pensioners with smaller appetites than younger people. We opted for regular fish with small chips and mushy peas
Total in August 2025 was £13.30
The fish for us was just enough for the two of us, lovely crisp batter and for one would be huge. Small chips likewise (very slightly on the thick side for me but Tina thought they were fine). Mushy peas in a large tub were good and a much bigger helping than we get down south. Overall, very good and would definitely recommend. Sorry we eat everything before thinking about photos.

McDonald's Kendal
71 Stricklandgate, KendalI honestly don’t understand the volume of negative reviews.
The staff at Kendal McDonald’s are consistently polite, patient, and doing the best they can in a high-pressure, minimum-wage environment.
Yes, orders can occasionally be wrong or food might arrive lukewarm — but this is McDonald’s. It’s fast food, not fine dining. You get what you pay for, and that doesn’t justify the hostility some reviewers direct at staff.
A lot of the complaints seem to forget that these are real people working long shifts while dealing with poor behaviour from the public. Hospitality workers deserve basic respect, and Kendal residents could stand to show a bit more compassion.
I’ve also seen reviews blaming staff for teenagers causing fights or disruptions. Realistically, what do people expect minimum-wage workers to do? Staff regularly ask them to leave and involve the police when necessary, but if your children are starting fights or causing serious issues in McDonald’s, that is not a staff failure — it’s a parenting failure.
Overall, the staff here are hardworking and courteous, and they deserve far more credit than they get.

Gilpin Bridge Inn
Bridge End Cottage, Levens, KendalWhilst the room (HARE) was adequate for a couple of nights it needs a few tweaks as follows. The room is hot needs a fan yes you can open the window but road / traffic noise becomes an issue. Plug sockets at least 4 doubles maybe change one for one that has USB charger would be handy. The bathroom whilst very nice could do with some extra additions , robe hooks on the wall / door, a shelf to put wash/ toiletries bag on rather than the floor, anti slip bath mat is essential we had to put one of the hand towels in the bath to prevent my wife from slipping plus a grab rail would be a really good addition if possible. And the shower is not the best it runs off of a mixer tap so pressure is not great and runs hot and cold . These little things would make a huge difference. With reference to our slippery bath as soon as we raised the concern a brand new non slip bath mat was supplied the same day so top marks for that thankyou so despite a couple of minor niggles we would 100% stay again

Crisp in the outside and soft inside. The filling is plentiful and you can just ask for whatever you want in it and they will accommodate. They do hot chicken and stuffing but it does run out. The cheese lattice is very very nice too. Staff are great too. Highly recommend

34 Finkle St, KendalMature couple on holiday. We're were super delighted with this place. It's up an alley don't let that put you off. Wife had the quiche and salad. I had one of the most fabulous pies I have had in a long time served with chips and gravy. Place was busy which is testament to the quality if the food. Staff and service was spot. Finished with a cappuccino and a cup of pot of tea. Bill £26..excellent value.

The Garden Cafe & Take Away
Stramongate, KendalPopped in for lunch whilst having a look around Kendal. It was nice and quiet possibly because the weather wasn't the best. A few other people turned up whilst we were there, nice quiet friendly atmosphere.
Had soup and chinese fries, which was more than I usually have for lunch so couldn't fit a cake in then but took one for later!
Food was lovely, would pop in again if in the area.

Fish Express
70 Highgate, KendalI don't leave 5* reviews very often, but in my opinion this is the best Gluten-Free Chippy in Cumbria (sorry Vinegar Jones). The difference is that the GF batter is homemade, the portions are generous, and the service is welcoming. I visited three times this month. The fish quality is great, the chips are crispy, and they have a GF battered sausage option too. There is a special offer on this that is good value. And if the normal F&C prices seem high, it's because you haven't seen a portion size yet!

The New Union
159 Stricklandgate, KendalThis is a GEM. Do not underestimate this place. Fantastic selection of whisky and gin, with a very, very amiable and knowledgable barman. Impeccably clean, good bar snacks and dog friendly. Only lost a star for atmosphere, because we stopped in on a random Thursday, and weren’t able to attend any of the planned weekly/seasonal/annual events.

Yard 24, 18 Stramongate, KendalDidn’t eat here. Drinks and staff were excellent, from the pleasant bar staff to the hard working glass collector. Will recommend and return when next in Kendal.

Gilpin Bridge Inn
Bridge End Cottage, Levens, KendalWhilst the room (HARE) was adequate for a couple of nights it needs a few tweaks as follows. The room is hot needs a fan yes you can open the window but road / traffic noise becomes an issue. Plug sockets at least 4 doubles maybe change one for one that has USB charger would be handy. The bathroom whilst very nice could do with some extra additions , robe hooks on the wall / door, a shelf to put wash/ toiletries bag on rather than the floor, anti slip bath mat is essential we had to put one of the hand towels in the bath to prevent my wife from slipping plus a grab rail would be a really good addition if possible. And the shower is not the best it runs off of a mixer tap so pressure is not great and runs hot and cold . These little things would make a huge difference. With reference to our slippery bath as soon as we raised the concern a brand new non slip bath mat was supplied the same day so top marks for that thankyou so despite a couple of minor niggles we would 100% stay again

Levens Kitchen
Levens Kitchen, KendalLovely place, excellent option to stop on the road and have a delicious meal or dessert. Easy to access from the road, spacious car park and great environment. We loved the food and the pastries, we had the soup of the day with whipped butter and sourdough bread which was amazing! And also the chicken bean bowl was outstanding ?.
The only downside is that we just had a short amount of time to be there and we considered the entry ticket to the gardens a bit too much for a short period. Maybe the entry could be included if you eat there, we would’ve loved to see them.

Sandylands Fish & Chips
46 Langdale Cres, KendalQuirky little place, serving its local community well. The tiny shop is nestled within a housing area and was doing a great job. The girl serving us was friendly and kind. Chips were tasty and my husbands fish delicious and good value for money.

British Raj
76 Kirkland, KendalIt's probably the best Indian food I have had from a takeaway. 18 of us were staying nearby and ordered in advance. Everything in the order was freshly cooked and delicious. We even managed to leave without one of the bags, but the restaurant called us and let us know. I feel like most places would just ignore that, but we appreciated it a lot. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely come again.
