Called in here today on the recommendation of my parents who are regular visitors and wasn't disappointed. A bright, clean spacious cafe that does genuine home cooked food at reasonable prices. The range is limited but adequate with several options for most tastes. Service is friendly and helpful and food is fine and much better than many of the franchise... More

It's a great bistro for lunchtime. The staff are really friendly. The food is freshly cooked and the prices are very reasonable.

I went here for a meal on 31St December and found it by accident after being told at Wetherspoons that they had stopped serving food at 1800. The staff were friendly and able to offer advice on local brews! Food reasonable too.

We only had about an hour to lunch before leaving Kendal and being four adults and a little baby or requirements are more amenities and setting area than the menu itself (sadly). So we were going here anyway as we had a large space in the window to sit down, with all the other stuff we have to now carry... More

We were on a trip to Kendal and fancied some lunch. Saw the signpost and went in- very very pleasantly surprised. A small menu but with some specials and helpful friendly staff. We ordered the soup and sandwich combo and the cassoulet plus a lemon and ginger tea and a fresh orange. The soup ( parsnip) was wonderful and ham... More

Lovely setup inside (clean, warm decorating and generous spacing between tables), and very helpful and pleasant staff. The food is a little bit ordinary - a step down from the more artisan cafe (of which there are plenty in Kendal) - but the prices are attractive. This is a great place to stop in with the grandchildren, or a group... More

Dropped in Thursday early evening following a recommendation & it did not disappoint. Can't believe the value this lovely place offers - shame it was quiet.....come on you Kendal folk get out & support these local businesses! The cassoulet - as has been mentioned in previous reviews - was a taste delight. My dad had the chicken normandy which was... More

early evening meal taken - very high quality and exceptionally well priced. Closes about 8pm but absolutely worth a visit for a holiday evening meal that is priced unpretentiously but is very well made - lovely setting too. Is also open in the day as a cafe/bistrot and looks ideal for morning coffee/tea/lunch et al - 5 Stars!!

Lovely warm place on a cold wet day. Service excellent and staff lovely. Only had hot drinks but would certainly try the food if in the area again.
