I love this little place, we have come here for the last 3 years whilst visiting the lakes. The food is good quality at a good price especially for the lakes. Staff are always friendly and the nest part are the xmas cups and old soup bowls that remind me of going to my aunties for dinner.

Stopped for a quick bite to eat on a rather damp Wednesday lunchtime. Things soon brightened with very friendly service and excellent food. Omelette was best I'd ever had! Look forward to returning on my next trip to the Lake District.

What a lovely, cosy, unique place this is! We stopped by, because it was indicated as a "family place", and a family indeed we found. Very friendly people, exquisite home cooked food, great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Finkles if you are in Kendal.

We had lunch here today and it was delicious. I had cheese and ham toastie served with salad and my husband had the Ploughman’s Lunch. It was very reasonably priced and the staff were lovely and friendly.

One of the friendliest cafes I’ve ever been to. Lovely staff & tasty, good value food. Check it out!

Very, very slow service. Girl serving was on her own with the chef. She was clearly new by the amount of times she delivered the wrong food to the wrong tables. Took 20 mins to get a drink delivered to the table. Food ok, home cooked. Won’t go back due to attitude of both staff and the very slow pace, with no acknowledgment. Front of house needs some serious training in etiquette, and a personality.
My husband & I first started frequently visiting this wonderful restaurant over 10 years ago before moving to Australia. Now we are back visiting & Finkels was first on our list for a yummy lunch & they definitely didn't let us down. Food, atmosphere, friendly all 10/10

This place is just amazing if you like the cosy a bit old fashioned(ish) one. Staff are friendly and kind. We asked we could have the tunna sandwich as a toasted one and they said no problem. We had 2 soup&sandwich deal, 2 mugs tea and one sweet potato fries and we paid £24. I think it is a good price, and we left the place with feeling we are full. Now the soup was chicken leek and corn, was nice (but i liked better the other, we ate there months ago, that was chunky vegetable.)I think you can see on the photos how nice is the presentation of our food. And those not just looked nice, they were very tasty too. Sandwiches were rich as the soup too. Sweet potato fries crunchy outside but soft inside. Very nice no oily at all.Toilette are correct and clean. Gentleman downstairs, ladies upstairs (but i don't think so there is another downstairs for disabled people). Enough table inside and as i saw well they can serve bigger group upstairs. Menu: large selection and varied. Traditional hot food, from soup through burgers, pastas, fish&chips, scampi... etc. And a lot of desserts.They accept card and cash too. Tip jar is at the till. You pay at the till desk when you leave.I suggest if you are in Kendal and would like a lunch/brunch then pop in this place.
