128 Stricklandgate, KendalThe owner was so lovely, he was the atmosphere.
The food was delicious and I would highly recommend a visit on that basis. However, the owner really makes the place.

We stopped off here for a spot of brunch and chose a bacon bap, sourdough toast and a toasted teacake.
All were thoroughly delicious and the café has a welcoming atmosphere with super friendly staff.
Highly recommended and we will be returning.

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!

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.

Being from the North East Coast you think you have had fabulous fish and chips before, but Far Cross Chippy has beaten them all for me. Never had a bone in my fish and great chips too. Gravy is great and batter (or scraps depending on where you live) are plentiful. Very busy whenever we have been, so there is always a queue, but it is definitely worth the wait.

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

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!

Finkles
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.

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.

Lakes Brew Co.
Mintsfeet Rd S, KendalVisited the LakesBrew Ambleside Tap Room last week whilst on holiday and were very impressed. It’s what the town needs - great selection of beers, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Didn’t get chance to try the food by Toast, but it looked amazing. Bought two of their lovely beer glasses when there. We’ll be back!

Farmhouse Kitchen
7 Allhallows Ln, KendalMyself and my husband stopped in today for an all day breakfast around 3pm while doing some Christmas shopping. This place looked cosy and inviting so we popped in to see if they had space. Luckily they did. We were seated quickly and placed our order at the till. The staff were very friendly and not too attentive which meant we could enjoy each other's company more & of course the food. We both had the big boss breakfast which was so fresh & delicious. Top quality ingredients and perfectly cooked. Great Sunday pick me up! The hot chocolates are also incredible. Highly recommend this lovely small business ?
