Marra

46 Branthwaite Brow, Kendal

An absolute must if you want a cosy spot with lots of character. Marra has everything you could wish for: great food, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly and efficient staff. It is hidden down a short alley but that adds to the charm. Would highly recommend it for locals or if you’re passing through.

The 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.
A seemingly genuinely lovely man with a real enthusiasm for his restaurant and its food.

Stopped in here for some food after the long drive up. Totally delicious BLT, followed by Lemon Sponge cake. I can’t remember the last time I had a vegan sponge cake and now, after the cake here, I want that sponge cake everyday. It was so so good and the slice was massive and only £3.50. ? My pals had the poke bowl and the scrambled tofu and a coffee, and they really enjoyed it. Portions are big (which is a good thing).

Super staff, great food. A small plant based haven ❤️

A great selection of craft beers and gins served in a very relaxing bar. The barman was very knowledgeable about all the beers and was able to suggest a beer to suit my husband's palate. He also let him have a small taster of another beer before buying his second pint.
No food available at the moment, but plans are in place to start serving food in the near future.

This is a great little café that we stumbled across today on our day trip to Kendal. The cakes are delicious as is the tea to match.
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

I 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!

Mature 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, Kendal

Whilst 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

Lovely 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.

Myself 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 ?
